Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Artifciality.

One wonders sometimes just where
children get their absurd and artificial
ways, and then one knows instantly
just where they do. From adults, No
adult, especially If he is unacuuainted
with children, ever speaks to them in
natural note. He always assumes
high. sweet falsetto, and he asks
them the most absurd questions and
smiles at them in an eXaggeratedlv
sweet way that must make the child
want TO stra ngle him. Listen to other
people talk to your children. Instead
of addressing them in an ordinary
tone, they speak to them as If the
belonged to another world, and their
tones must convey this distinction.
like talking to the minister or ad-
dressing mourners after the funeral
This Is bad enough when 1t comes
from outsiders. who no doubt feel that
children are far from being of their
world and are never quite at home
with them, but it isSabSolutely mex
cusable when such manners are used
by the child's own parents-in public.
Not so long since l was compelled to
sit all through dinner with a lady of
this type-the high. sweettalking kind
ALL of the conversation directed at
the child obviously for public con-
sumption. She soaped the child with
darlings and sweethearts until the
ears Of her listeners rebelled. She
asked him mawkish questions and
laughed musically at his answers. She
answered all his questions in the way
all good books on child rearing insist
they should he answered-with great
care As to the details and with an air
which said quite plainly to all her
hearers. Take note what good

one thing, and that was the entire
artifciality of the whole conversation

sincere interest in the child, his man.
tended to an interest because she
knew 1t was the thing expected Of
mothers.
SO far, SO good. But how about the
child? Was he impressed with this
public show Of interest? More than
likely, down deep in his heart he won
dered just why his mother was acting
so silly. He was being introduced to a
form Of hypocrisy that is all too com.
mon today. One manner for home, an
other for the street. This Is the very
opposite of being rude to your child in
public and dragging him about slap
ping him, nagging at him. Both atti-
tudes are demoralizing to the child,
for by the influence of the artificial
manner he gets the idea Of subterfuge
or pretensiOn, and by the second, IL
the mother is domineering enough he
acquires an outer meekness that will
break forth later in ugly acts-when
he gets home and no attention is paid
to him.
One can't overemphasize the impor-
tance of being natural with your chill

Common Sense
Still Needed
RY FLORENCE DAVIES.

There is quite bit said these days
about the need OF good choice in
picking ones parents. Three babies
who chose Mrs Joseph Shiperle OF St
Louis for their mother seem to have
made a wise decision.
The rosy little blond mamma Is re-
ported to have said, as she hugged
her triplets, now just past their sec
ond birthday. Don't raise your chill
dren by book. khile you've got your
nose in a book. your children can pass
out for lack OF common sense.
There we have it. That good old
commodity, horse sense, Is Just as

century regime AS in the days OF our
pioneer forefatherS. Indians are not
now To he dreaded, hut automobiles
are much more numerous and deadly.
children have no forests in which to
lose their way, but city perils call
for watchfulness on a mothers part.
For every danger faced by former
generations there is one, or perhaps
there are several. which menace the
child of today.
There is a story Of A very con-
scientious young man who, dusing the
period of his engagement to. an
equally sensible. conscientious and
orderly minded young woman. laid
down set of rules which We're to he
observed when the children came. AS
often happens, the first baby exhibit
ed all the capacity for impishness
and lawlessness so carefully repressed
in his father and mother.
How about those rules you used to
say your family would be brought up
by?" asked the long suffering rela-
tive. who had entertained the trio for
a week.
The former theological student. now
a minister shook his head. II have
just one rule now" he confessed.
That is. to do the hest you can un-
der the circumstances.
Little Mrs. Shiperle has evidently
done the best she could with her
three, who are happy and hearty at

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Weekly Letter.

Dear Girls: We were all invited out
to the country last week end and, in
some anticipation, packed cur heavy
things and a couple of dinner dresses.
We motOred out, all of us in heavy
raccoon coats. three. boys and two
girls. to find our hostess waiting with
dismayed expression on her face.
'Oh, this is terrible" she moaned.
Some of the other boys could not
come. And we're about Ave boys short.
Think of it--five girls too many. What
shall we do?"
Well, that certainly appeared I'd he
a poser until one of our brighter lights
suggested that we have the usual cut
in dance-only the girls would cut in
on the boys, and give the masculine
contingent a real trent!
1t was a glorious idea-for the boys.
When we entered the ballroom, com.
placently viewing our heavily beaded
Paris dresses. it came as rather
shock to realize that we were doomed
to be stays for at least a few minutes
of the evening.
The five hapless maidens whose men
hadn't turned up ranged themselves
along the wall and watched the rest
OF us as the dancing started. My part

l was. Helplessly, | surveyed the
whirling figures in front of me. Now
knew just how completely strange

his mind whom to dance with.
Presently l espied my old pal Bun

Pl,f ha1 n
Bunny, though the best sport in the
world couldn't dance for sour apples.
The other girls remembered it only
too well, and l was left to bump about
with my chosen partner for hours. No
one thought of cutting and relieving
me in my distress.
When the music stopped, ] made
hasty excuse about having to return
to my original partner-which was A
lie, as he was out in the conservatory
with goodness knows who-and hastily
joined the group of 'stags" at the
door.
From then on, whenever | cut in,
took care to see that my choice was
particularly good dancer whom all the
girls liked and wanted to dance with.
l found myself practicing all the
tricks used by our man friends for
ages. such as pretending not to see
boys whom l knew We'll WOuln DE un-
popular.
Oh, yes, l got sympathetic that eve
ming with the poor boys who have to
struggle through dance after dance,

You could forgive the boys for all
their deceptions at dances-if you
knew the horrors they have to endure
when they're hung up with the
same girl all evening.

an end, read: Wed rather be girls
than boys, at least for dancing pur-

The Chinese often give as individual
names words indicating the number
of the child or the order of it's birth.
1t seems to be a fundamental human
tendency. which has worked out to
greater or less degree at various
periods among widely separated races.
The old Romans, for instance, had
such names as Quintus fifth and
Octavia teighth).
The custom was also developed
within limits among the Gaels of
Ireland and the Scottish Highla nds.
"Treassa was a given name among
them. with the meaning of the third

1t was chieftain of this given
name. allied with the O'Donovan line,

Your Name Number.

Your name. or destiny number, is
of tremendous importance. 1t indi-
Gates what you must do and what path
YOU must follow to achieve happiness
and to obtain spiritual and material
success. Unlike the birth number. it
is not necessarily a fixed quantity but
may he changed if your experience OF
life has shown you that your destiny
number is not in harmony with your
birth number-in other words. that in
spite of all your struggles and efforts
YOU have not experienced any measure
of real attainment or contentment.
The determination of the name num-
her is simply made by dividing the
alphabet into nine groups of letters,
according to the little chart previously

ONE-The bearer Of this number

realize that in union there is strength.

FAILURE. He must not play the lone

force-the velvet glove rather than
the mailed fist. 1t is the number of
diplomacy a TWO arrived at

strong number and denotes service.
Great nurses doctors and Clergymen

THREF,-Is the JOY number. The
destiny of it's holder is to bring laugh

FOUR-A life governed by this
number will find success, especially
material: financial success through
hard work-through ever4a stingly

SIX like TWO. this is a number Of

intimate kind-the service inspired by
love \ life whose destiny number Is
SIN may have great musical ability.
SENEN-Is number of reserve
and retirement. People who bear this
number must constantly tidy to over
come shyness introspection and even
morbidness. 1t means soul adjustment.
Its holders are likely to tend toward
the mystic or occult.
EIGHT-This is the highly individ-
ual number. 1t is distinctly the num-
her of business, commerce and finance.
The names of empire builders and of
those who have amassed great per-
sonal fortunes often add up to EIGHT.
NINE-Number NINE is the really
great number-the complete number.
It's holder will have unusual under
standing and sympathy. NINE de-
notes great achievement. but not espe-
cially of a material kind. Great lead
