Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER EEDRED.
Habit of Wakefulness.

Next to the inquiries on proper
feeding in point of frequency. come
those questions which have to do with
the why" of children's unaccountable
wakefulness. Mothers find it hard to
understand why children who are
otherwise we'll and healthy are APP
parently such poor sleepers: staying
awake for long hours in the day time
and waking many times at night,
crying and demanding to be fed.
There are numerous reasons why
healthful sound sleep fails to come
to children. First of all, 1t may result
from bad habits Of. sleeping hours.
1t is nece SSary that mothers from the
very first accuStom the child to long
and undertaking hours of sleep. An
infant naturally spends most of the
"a hours in sleep and nothing should
be allowed to disturb these good
habits. Taking a child out at night;
subjecting him to the nervous eXcit
ment Of places of amusement, all tend
to break up these good habits of I'M
interrupted sleep. He should be put
down for sleep after each nursing
period Later he should have two
regular nap periods coming every day
at the same time. Still later this
should be changed so that he gets
but one nap period in the middle of
afternoon. He should be put to bed
at 6 o'clock at night when an infant
and not later than 1880 until he is of
school age.
PLAYING with a child at night is
responsible for much sleeplessness. a
child is easily eXhilarated and excited
even by being tossed about and made
to laugh If he goes to bed in this
mood he may go to sleep, but his sleep
will be light and fitful. 1t is easy to
play with a baby; it is so easy to over
do it, and then wonder why the child
cries out in his sleep and wakens
often.
Improper feeding is directly respon-
sible for insomnia. An overloaded
stomach as well as one which is un-
comfortably empty makes for rest
less sleep. If the baby is a fat and
robust child who eats heartily at
night, try cutting down on his night
meal and see if his sleeping habits
won't improve. And if the baby is
thin and undernourished by the very
nature Of things he will be also a
bright active and wide-awake baby.
Go over some of these suggestions,
you mothers of wakeful children. and
see if some of these shoes will fit the
foot of your child.

Springs of Gratitude
BY FLORENCE DAVIES.

Once in awhile we have to change
our minds about this being a tough
old world Sometimes, strange to say,
beautiful things do happen. a group
Of business women in Tennessee found
that out when they asked a favor OF
some city people almost a year ago.
And then. to their surprise. these city
people must have discovered the same
thing this Christmas.
The tale is brief enough to be re-
told here. Last February, it seems,
a group of business and professional
women in Winchester, Tenn, wrote
letter to a New York paper explain
ing they wished that people who had
idle books would send them to Win
chester to he given to the mountain
people. who had no libraries To their
surprise. more than 60 people in New
York, New Jersey and other Eastern
States read that letter and sent more
than 1000 books which were draw
ing no dividends of use and enjoy
ment.
That. in itself. is q heartening Incl
dent, but that does not end the story.
For this Christmas these same bust
ness women, went out into the noun
tains of Tennessee with their fiivvers
and came back with their cars loaded
with holly and mistletoe. SO abundant
in the South and 50 highly treasured
by people in the North.
Before Christmas these busy bust
ness and professional women had
packed their Christmas green's into 90
boxes and sent them 10 the so gen
erous donors of a year before as a
mark of their gratitude and apprecia-
ton.
What a fine thing, you say, that
these wealthy people were willing to
gather up their idle books so that
others less fortunate might enjoy
them. But to some of us it seems as
even a finer thing that the people who
asked the favor remembered to say,
Thank YOU" in SO gracious a way.
Too often we ask others to give for
a worthy cause and forget TO say,
THANK you" In the case of the
books. you insist that the people who
sent them could we'll afford to part
with their extra volumes. But. no
matter how many books they owned
or how much money they had, there
| were so people who cared enough to
| see that a kind thing was done. How
! often we take for granted this sort OF
| bounty.
Surely those business women did
| lust as fine d thing when they remem-
| bered their generous donors in so
/ charming a way, as they did when
| they carried the books to the poor
people in the mountains.
I What a truly fine and gracious
thing is the art of approaching a
| service.

was 50 beautiful that il would almost
take YOUR breath away. Anyway, that
is the way Farmer Browns boy felt
He moved slowly and carefully He
tried TO make as little noise as posi-
be. 1t was not just to admire the
beauty of the seemingly enchanted
Green Forest that he had come; it was

He particularly wanted to know how
LightfOot the Deer and Mrs. Lightfoot
and the fawns were getting on. This
weather was hard on them But most
of all he wondered about Mrs. Grouse
lie was worried about her He re-
membered how soft and tempting the
snow had been the day before. and
now as he stamped on the crust and
found how difficult it was for him TO
break through he worried more than
ever. lie knew that never in the

she happened TO be caught beneath.

constant tramping. GU know, the
Deer have no SnoWShoes, but hard
sharp edged hoofs which cut through
the snow. SO when snow is deep the
only way in which they can get about
is by means of the paths they have
kept trodden down. These paths
make up what is called a yard"
Farmer Browns boy knew Just

and whispered her name, What fun
it was to have Dorothy hold out an
eager hand to greet her and then pre-
sent her to the rest OF the people.
Dorothy was as prettily and pertly
blond as ever. but she was eXquisitely
dressed, and her trip abroad had
taken off some of the rough edges.
Rosalind found her changed, more
able TO cope with the situation of he.
ing married TO a wealthy man. And
yet. if possible, Dorothy seemed more
brittle than ever. She talked a great
deal, but there We're shadows under
her eyes. Rosalind wondered curious

didn't seem SO.
"Well, Rosalind Nash, to think of
finding you here. / never was so sur
prised in my life as I was when You
walked out on that stage and did your
stuff. You're quite a sensation, too.
You must tell me all about IT, I'm

her Edie. Then there was young

were two other men. one who sat next
