Our Children-By Angelo Patri

he is he is very likely to become.
When we meet bad tempered child,
one who apparently has little control
over his impulses to force his way IN
defiance of his neighbor we no longer
say, You have bad temper ana you
must learn to control that bad temper
or YOU will come to grief" We say.
That is not like you. You are really
a generous. kindly child who would
rather make people happy than not
Catch up with yourself now and re-
member that" He IS far more likely
to smile sheepishly and go softly
for that day than he would be under
the other dictum.
When he is not careful about his
person or his work we do not label
him as a dirty careless boy any more.
We send him off to wash his hands
and brush his hair and when he comes
back we have made his place ready
and shining. The way has been pre-
pared for clean and careful work and
he makes an effort to respond. We
accent the effort even If the recorded
| job is not up to standard. Too often
we judge a child by his written work
| instead of the effort he put into It.
| We saw the finger marks and the
| blots. but we never glimpsed the
| knotted fingers. the sweat that stood
on his upper lip, the anxiety on his
puckered brow. Measure the effort
! instead of the score and omit the dam
aging label and things will go further
and faster in the schoolroom.
And when q child does something
| that seems outrageous never shout 1t
| from the housetops. There is no re-
serve on the housetop and the shy
| little reserves of childhood are what
we tie to in the time of trouble. Take
| the child apart and in whispers talk
| over his error. Make 1t a secret be-
| tween you, something never to be
| thought about any more. 1t has been
done; 1t has been examined and passed
| upon for what 1t was. an error.
| Errors are wiped out with each de-
scending sun If we are wise enough
! to speak of them softly or not at all
and let them be as nothing.
| Children must be corrected when
they go astray. but it is the intent of
the one who Is correcting. the manner
| and the metho1 of the correction that
Is going to tell. The label must not
! be affixed to error. You may put the
! biggest one you can produce upon his
righteous deeds, for thereby you fix
them and make them part of him
| forever.

Clues to Character
BY j. O. ABERNETHY.
What's in a Handshake?

In shaking a persons hand, can you
determine his nature? You may de-
pend upon the fact that one of the
most dependable clues to character is
the firm handshake. Honest persons,
in shaking hands, either give the
whole hand in cordial, hearty
clasp or not at all. If the grasp is
warm. ardent, vigorous-so will be
the disposition of the individual. If
cool, formal-you may be sure that
the character will be likewise. You
may not realize 1t, but 1t is fact that
much of our true character is re-
vealed In our handshake.
In the grasp of large-hearted. gen.
erous minded persons there is a sort
Of wholesome expression that you in
stinctively recognize. A heart hand
clasp is an index to warmth, ardor,
and strength of character, while the
hand coldly held out and withdrawn
quickly indicates a cold, If not a sell
fish and sometimes heartless char
acter.
From one who offers Just two
fingers, holding the others bent back,
you will hardly expect to'get a dona-
ton for any worthy cause. He is
cold hearted and of an unsympa-
thetic nature.

A note of distinction may be given

broidery either in the selfsame tone
s the goods or in some hue to further
accent a shade used III the scheme %

the weave they may he used as the
pattern ror the embroidery. This sim
pliteS the work. Not all the motifs
need be embroidered, but those that
would form borders only. while the
rest of the motifs are untouched.
When patterned curtain material is
used the embroidery is always in color.
Just what the medium for the en-
broidery shall be depends up on the
kind of mat eria3 used and is weave.
A coarse mesh. such as is in style just
now. takes a heavy medium. and wool

favorite medium. silk IS seldom used.
Fabrics and Meshes.
AS for the fabric on which to work,

in many sizes of mesh, and either with

Enjoying Ill Health.

Is there anything more tiresome
than the old bore who corners you on
he street and tells you all her symp-
tome for the last 20 years? How you
dislike her, and how perfectly we'll
you can understand why people find
her unpleasant.
But before you condemn her too
strongly ask yourself whether you're
entirely blameless of this sort Of
thing.
We all love sympathy, and it's such
temptation to make bid for 1t in
some way or other.
If you've had very bad, sleepless
night, and you wake up in the morn
ing feeling like nothing on earth.
you're not awfully pleased when some
one in your family or in the Office re-
marks genially: by Jove, you're look
ing better and better every day.
You'e positively blooming this morn
ing"
Do you let that pass with a gracious
smile? You do not. You Ak the
speaker with a sad and weary eye and
answer; "Oh, l feel perfectly miser-
able today. Didn't get a wink of
sleep all night"
If you have a bad headache and
George insists on taking you TO the
movies, do you let him go away that
evening entirely unaware how bravely
you have suffered?
Oh, no. You tell him some time or
other just to let him know that you
and Joan of Arc are the worlds great
est martyrs.
All this isn't particularly harmful
in itself. only If you get into the habit
of telling people your troubles you'll
soon find yourself talking about moth
ing else.
If you invite the sympathy Of your
listeners for every toothache and head
ache and bad cold that comes along
you'll be in the same class as the old
bore.
The girl who crabs every party
with complaints about her health
doesn't get to many parties after g.
while.
The young lady who walls that
she's simply sitting in this stuffy
room-it's actually given her a head
ache-and who. after the window is
opened. announces that a stiff neck
is next on the program because she's
sitting in a draft, is never the belle
of the crowd.
You are probably assuring yourself
right now that you could never be so
silly. But just you watch out. The
next time you have the impulse TO
whine pathetically about your health
just resist it. Try to get into the
habit OF leaving sickness out Of your
conversation.
Neither you nor your listener is any
happier for a frank discussion of your
| latest SymptOms-and each time you
! indulge in one of these orgies of self
| pity you're getting more into the
! dreadful habit of perpetual whining.
And it's the whining wives who are
keeping the divorce courts working
overtime.

HOW 1T STARTED
"Maudlin.' y
BY JEAN NEWTON.

To the lover of words and the deliver
into the curious and the strange in
their beginnings, this word "maudlin"
is indeed a gem. Familiar in modern
speech in describing a person or a
mood that is weakly emotional, SEN
timentally silly, a fearful depression.
we find that the word takes its origin
from Magdalen, the name of Mary
Magdalen, the traditional repentant
sinner to whom Christ said forgiying-
ly, Go and sin no more"
We are all familiar with the Mag
dalen as she is conceived by painters,
and it is the consensus of opinion
among the most authoritative anti
quarians that it is from the circum-
stance that she is drawn always with
eyes swollen, with weeping and the
most mournful expression the cor
ruption of Magdalen to "maudlin"
took place and added word to our
language,

animals. But there is one of the lit
tie people of the Green Forest who
begins to think about and plan for
the future long before Happy Jack
Squirrel gives so much as d thoug hit
70 the matter of Winter store of
food. This is Paddy the Beaver.
The members of the Squirrel family
seldom think about Winter supplies
until acorns and nuts and seeds are
ripe. Then they work hard and fast
for a short time. But Paddy the
Beaver has to look far ahead, and
plan; often he works some time be-
fore he actually begins to harvest his
food supply for the Winter. You see,
Paddy and his family must have
enough bark to last them all Winter
or they will starve to death. They
cannot get out to look for food If their
supply gives out. Squirrels can do
this. but Beavers cannot. They must
make sure of having enough logs in
their food pile under the ice to last
until the ice disappears.
Now Paddy the Beaver is wise in
the ways of his kind and way back
in the Summer when many of his
neighbors were concerned chiefly in
the care of their babies or in having
g. good time Paddy was thinking of
the Winter TO come. Peter Rabbit
ran across him several times up the
Laughing Brook above his pond and
down the Laughing Brook below his
pond. Each time Paddy appeared to
be thoughtful. Peter didn't notice this
at first, but later he did.
You look very thoughtful, Paddy;
have you something on your mtnd?
Peter finally asked.
Paddy nodded slowly and Srayely.

Yes, Peter, l have a great deal on
my mind" said ne.
What is it?" asker Peter, filled
with curiosity as usual.
A most important matter" replied
Paddy.
You look as if it WERE" retorted
Peter. What is it?'
1T is the problem of making sure
OF enough to eat next Winter" replied
Paddy.
Peter laughed right out and Paddy
looked most annoyed. What is there
TO laugh at, Peter Rabbit" he de-
manded sharply.
Peter looked a wee bit ashamed, as,
of course, he should have. Il beg
your pardon, Paddy. 1 do. indeed" :"
said he, trying to be polite 1T
struck me as funny to hear any one
talk of next Winter when last Winter
is hardly forgotten. 1 don't believe
any one else Is thinking of next Win
ter, and l don't see any reason why
you should. 1t will be time enough
to think of Winter when Winter is
somewhere near. Now, honestly,
don't you think so?"
Paddy shook his head most de-
cldedly. That may be all right for
some folks" said he but not for me
or mine. If we waited until then we
would be likely to starve to death.
We cannot afford to take any such
chances as that. l know there are
some people who never take thought
for the morrow, but how such people
get along is more than l can under.

Peter as he said this. but Peter only
grinned. Then Paddy turned his back

in the long run. I have seen this

inch squares at intervals of about 6
inches. each row alternating in spac-
ing with the one above and below It.

soft and silky and of an artistic shade
of orarge that Chimed in with the
color scheme Of the east room which
had little sunshine.
Design and Directions.
The design which IS given today in
diagram can be done in one or two
colOrS that carry out tones in room,
the center biz contrasting with the
outer Conventionalized petal or the
net may have this motif done in self
color. The design may form a border
or make an all-over pattern. The
edges of the curtains have a nice
finish when they are turned over TO
make hens and then run with three
rows of the medium. Use one color
for each outside row, with the con
trasting color in the center. when
two colors are employed in the en-
broidery.
Working Hints.
An embroidery loop may be used
to hold the net firm and straight, or
sections to he embroidered may have
heavy brown paper basted under
meath. This latter way is advised.
The stitches may be taken from edge
to edge of the squares. covering them
entirely, or the squares may he
darned. In either case. the chosen
embroidery is identical on right and
wiring side of the goods. a button
hole stitch will hold the thread when
beginning and ending strands. 1t is
wise to have short length of the
thread and work over it for a few
stitches to prevent any ends from
showing. The design measures 2Ox2O
