Yes, sir, he began to dream. He
dreamed that he was no longer alone.
He dreamed that Black Pussy had
come to live with him in his little
house. Now this was funny dream,
because, while he and Black Pussy re-
spected each other, they were not ex.
actly what you would call friends.
Each was a little jealous of the other.
So really it was funny dream that
Bowser was having. He dreamed that
Black Pussy was smuggling. up to him.
He could feel her warm body against
his. At just this point Bowser became
half awake. He became just enough
awake to feel a warm little body
smuggling up to his body. At that, he
became very wide awake. Could it
be that Black Pussy was there, after
all? He shifted at his little bedfel-
low and when he did this he was the
most surprised dog that ever lived.
He knew that odor. That was wood.

And when he shifted he awoke Little

she was naturally frightened. She

noses came perfect understanding.
Bowser knew that he just couldn't

felt that friendliness steal all over her.

she had suddenly found a friend. So

AS for Bowser, he was suddenly pos

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mothers as a rule are quite as much
creatures of habit as their children.
Given a certain situation, they react
to it exactly as mothers have in the
past. 1t is far too natural for ii
mother to say, Now. If you are not
good girl I won't take you to the
circus next week" For a week
before the circus she hangs this
threat over the poor child's head.
knowing all the time that nothing in
the world would keep her from going
to the circus or taking the infant. for
that matter.
Christmas always is used as a rod
of punishment. You won't get any
presents" is almost a formula with
parents. And isn't it silly? The
parents know child will. and so do
the children after one year of such
nonsense.
These are mild forms Of threats.
There are more serious ones and ones
which may strike such terror into
sensitive minds that long years may
be needed to erase them. THE 90
liceman will get you-a big bogy man
will get you" The more ignorant the
mother the more likely she is to find
ample opportunity for the use of such
trite threats Those of us who can't
imagine making use of threats as n
means of discipline find it hard to
believe that there are mothers so
short sighted as to do so, but listen
to mothers talking to children on the
street. They differ only in looks.
Their words are pitifully similar, and
the easiest thing they do is to threaten
children with what will happen to
them if they don't do exactly as they
are told.
When child learns that such things
do not happen to him he loses all
faith in the mother. She may tell him
that he will drown if he goes into a
certain river, but will he believe her?
Not much. Hasn't she often told him
of the terrible things that would hap
pen to him, and having done them
with impunity he can't be expected
to know that sometimes she does tell
him the truth. He disbelieves her on
general principles.
Threats intimidate the child who Is
easily frightened. and that is cruel
enough thing in itself. Tho mora
courageous child goes ahead some
times and finds out what happens
and if nothing does he disregards all
of them and the mother who makes
them. Such child Is immune to
cautions, because to him they belong
in the same class as the threats, and
SO when real danger threatens he pays
no heed, sometimes to meet disaster
because futile threats have made him
insenSible to warnings.

The girl Of ID is usually more ad-
vanced, mentally and physically. than
the boy of the same c.. According
to old Roman law, boy was not
legally arrived at the age Of puberty
until he was IA. while a girl reached

The rate of growth for boys be-
tween the fourteenth and fifteenth
birthdays Is. therefore, somewhat
greater. Boys normally gain from IL
to Is pounds, while girls seldom gain
more than 10 pounds, unless they are
putting on too much flesh, and often
normally gain no more than A
pounds.
Sometimes. at IA. young girls
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love, but most boys Of this age are
still exceedingly girl shy. Josephine,
who was later the first wife Of Ma

The vogue for lace, which has in
creased tremendously within the past
two years, plays well into the hands
of those who are acquainted with a
crochet needle and known how simple
1t is to put to use in the making Of
filet.
Various patterns for the makers Of
filet crochet have been offered through
this department. To facilitate the
making Of the alphabet in f1let the
directions for the remaining letters
are given directly through the paper
without the need of sending for them
separately. So be sure to save each
issue in which directions are given,
as they will not be repeated.

Many ways of using the f1let initials
have already been stressed, for use in
the fronts of dresses and on lingerie.
One with which you may not be &C.
Quainted is the making Of Summer

rows of plain crochet to the end of
