But Jane neglected to remove it and

sisters, jealous of their sisters claim,
were not satisfied with her explanation
that their mother had given her the
painting and insisted that she return
1t to the administrator of the mothers
estate, to be distributed as part of the
assets which Mrs. Wallace had left.
When Jane refused, the admin
istrator was forced to bring suit
against her to recover the painting
The court passed an order compelling
her to return it, stating:
I'm order to constitute valid gift
there must be an actual, constructive
or symbolical delivery of the article

upon grounds of public policy and

Certain Commands.

When playing with little children
it is a very good plan TO teach them
certain definite responses to COM
mands. Early in life they will ac.
cept them and learn to fulfill them
almost automatically. They will come
in handy in the day Of trouble.
Teach the child to open his mouth
wide. Peer in as though fascinated
and say. Fine. Wonderful. Best
mouth YOU ever had" Then pat him
and cuddle him and make him feel
he is being applauded nightly. 1t
helps wonderfully when the doctor
comes if the child is in the habit OF
opening his mouth wide.
Put your tongue out, far, far. "
Show him how, and when he does 1T,
laugh with him at the good joke.
Tell him it is a fine pink tongue and
that he is a beautiful child, anyway.
The very best child that ever was
known to you.
Play horse with him and teach him
Co and Stop" Let him trot as
fast as he can and then call stop"
See how quickly he can get himself
under control and stand stock still.
When he accomplishes that stunt,
praise him nightly. You may have
to call Co or stop" some day
when 1t is highly important he know
what you mean.
When you wish to teach a little tot
stunt these are only stunts: a
little child will not be able to bring
associations and memory and judg.

WAYS at the same time each day, in
the same place, with exactly the same
words If you change any aspect of
the situation you spoil your attempt
and confuse him. He obeys on the
basis of the associations he formed
and If you reverse any of them he is
at sea. Variations come after the
idea has been grasped, a long time
afterward for some children.
Teach the child to tell his name
when asked it. Work at it until he
can say it clearly. Then teach him
where he lives. He must know his
house number and street. If there is
no number he must know how to de-
scribe the house. and name the street.
Then teach him his telephone call,

Another disturbing thing is that

Guest Reflects Charm of Hostess
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

when the letter following a visit
conveys a sincere enthusiasm over the
hours spent under the roof tree of
the hostess that she can fully realize
mutual happiness. Such an apprecia-
tive letter means more than a guest
can know 1T stimulates the hostess
interest in the home. giving her re-
newed assurance that 1t is attractive.
1t furthers a determination to pre-
serve home life and to share its com
forts with those dear friends and
pleasant acquaintances who make up
the sum of companionship to add to
that of the family itself. And it
warns the heart TO the visitor who
found joy even in the small occur
rcnCes of her stay The hostess looks
eagerly forward to another visit from
such guest.
Cordial Note.
Bread and butter letters are apt to
be 20 formall expressed, or are so
evidently duty notes, that they lack
the cordiality and the charm that
should be part of them. This, is sure
to be the case If the note is delayed,
for enthusiasm is elusive 1t is like
the crest of a wave and cannot re-
main stationary. 1t has to he taken
at it's height and conveyed by words
in the note as an artist captures the
beauty and visualizes it with paint on
canvas. The words of such letter
bring happiness to the hart of a
hostess just as the picture brings joy
to the eye of the beholder We are
not all artists, but all of us can write
notes after visits that convey enthusi-
aam. They cost nothing to send but
sincere appreciation, yet they are
priceless to the one receiving them
