Let Them Alone.

pisciplining children is the most
trying and delicate of undertakings.
There is no mother so helpless as not
10 know that the children need train
ing and correction and guiding. Few
mothers and fewer fathers, know how
10 go about the matter.
There was a time when mothers
thought that all that was necessary
was to say. stop" often enough. If
the children were told what not to
do the job was done. Then we dis
covered that the children kept on
doing the things they were told not
TO do and in fact the more strictly
they were prohibited the more stoutly
they held to their position and did
just what they intended to do In the
beginning. 1t was clear that saying
stop did not work perfectly.
Then we decided that the thing to
do was to say. Go" We thought that
liberty was what the children needed
Give them their heads and let them
do what they thought they wanted to
do and somehow they would
straiGhten out. Experience would be
their teacher. But the children did
not know the limitations of personal
liberty and soon overstepped them and
brought trouble to themselves and
their parents. 1t was plain then that
freedom WAS not the answer.
As in all important matters that
touch the human race the working
method lay somewhere between the
do and the don't, the stop and the go.
Somewhere there was the middle
ground that allowed the children
something of freedom and some
thing of restrain and SO kept
fhe balance that let's us ike peaceably
with our neighbors. Common sense
entered into the situation and saved
the day.
AS far as possible let the children
alone. They are children and So DIFF

that cannot be depended on to keep
out much of Wipter's cold.
One reason for the present interest
in fur scarfs in France Is the decided
vogue over there of the two-piece suit.
In warmer weather the Partisan wears
suit with a silk scarf, or possibly
with no scarf at all. the collar of her
~openneck blouse being drawn over
the collar OF the suit jacket. When
cooler Fall days come the fur scarf
that had been worn only by a few
for fashions sake during warmer
weather becomes something of ne
cessity. The fur scarf is also worn
with the one-piece street frock that
many women choose for street wear
during the Autumn season.
Fox scarfs of various sorts are those
most in favor. Jenny is responsible

turn and stare at the woman who was
with him, and Betty was suddenly
afraid.
Because of her profession she had
never given a great deal Of time and
thought to her clothes, and as for
evening gowns she so seldom had a
chance to use them that she had but
one, and an old one at that. In de-
spair she got it out of the closet and
looked it over. Once 1t had been a
rather lovely dress of black tulle and
metal cloth, but now the tulle was
crushed and limp and the metal
cloth tarnished besides it was de-
cidedly out of style. She thought
suddenly of Alice Griffith.
Alice probably possessed any num-
Der of evening dresses OF the kind Jim
had described in his letter. Betty
had seen them in the shop windows
Pastel colors. heavily beaded in
crystal. with godets set cleverly into
the skirt, giving them a lovely flare
Then there were dresses with tight
bodices and full, shirred skirts, wired
out at the hips. Betty had seen them,
but strangely enough, she had never
pictured herself in anything like that
until now. She would have to begin
to think Of such things now that she
was engaged to marry Jim. She must
make him proud of her-proud to be
seen with her. Strange that she hadn't
thought Of all this before. When Jim
had first told her that he loved her
it had been enough just to dream
about the fact that he cared. Now
she realized that there were other
things to be onsidered-materia
things that were important. She
must buy new clothes. smart clothes.
so as to be lovely for Jim. And that
meant, of course. that she would have
to work hard so as to earn the money
to pay for them.
Betty had never had to worry
about cases because she was a good
nurse and doctors knew that they
could depend upon her. But up to
the present time she had never tried
to overdo. That meant that when
she was finished with Il long, ex
hausting case she rested until she felt
physically and mentally able to take
another one. She had learned to take

Our Children By Angelo Patri

them that there is danger in certain
things and we train them to avoid
them. These prohibitions and inhibi-

Of the children. After they are estab-

alone.
This letting alone is not easy if
you think it over. We are so eager
to do our duty by the children that we

CHAPTER XT.
Homes and Fears.

Jimmy wrote Betty frequently from
Atlantic City. and although his let
ters were short and not so romantic
as Betty would have wished, they
sounded so like him that she could al
most hear him talk.
I'm staying at the best hotel here, y
he would say, and it's some place! A

That letter gave Betty a pang of
fear. and in alarm she took stock of
her clothes. Excepting for that day
when she had gone home with Jim
from the hospital he had seen her
only in uniform. She began to realize
that woman's appearance meant a
great deal to him. He was the type
of man who liked to have other men

Rosy cheeks are the prerogative of
childhood and that is why we try TO

youth by adding rouge to the cheeks.
And yet some children seem to be
healthy and are pale always.

A Bit Careless.

An ardent ornithologist of some re-
pute. who was correspondingly igno-
rant of economic entomology, had a
family of little bluejays in cages
which he was raising. He hired small
boys to go out in the country and col
lect grasshoppers for the bluejays'
dinners. One day the boys reported
that there were no more grasshop-
pers. but they collected a lot of lady
bugs. The ornithologist discovered
that bluejays do not like ladybugs,
so he threw them over the fence. A
ladybug may be a ladybug in the
fields. but in the garden it is known
as a potato bug and does not behave
itself like a, lady at all. Next day a
stout-armed lady living on the other
side of the fence came over with a
rolling PIN and gave the orrrithologist
lesson in "bugology."
Now what do you know about that?
