pets and rugs. there is of course
the natural wearing out process
caused by the friction Of moving
feet clad in leather-soIed shoes.
The pile of the carpet is bent first
in one direction and then in
another and is inevitably worn
off. There is no help for such a
situation except to keep floor COW
erings as clean as possible and if
it can be done convenietnly, to
change lines of travel or shift
floor coverings SO that worn spots
are changed from place to place.
A vacuum cleaner is the ideal
piece of equipment for caring for
rugs. Even this fine piece of
equipment should be properly
used, however. for the rapid NOV
ing Of a vacuum cleaner will not
remove dirt successfully and a
cleaner which moves in the wrong
way may injure the rug. The
cleaner should always be driven
in the direction in which the pile
of the rug lies, as this will pre-.
vent the back and forth bending
and wear and tear on the pile.

1t is simple enough to tell
youngster that he should have

anybody else did. The child has
no answer for that statement, be-
cause he has no way of putting
into words the fact that certain
influences clouded his Judgment
and overwhelmed him for the
time being. He can not explain
to you that the matter seemed
entirely different when viewed
from his companions attitude and
when seen through the eyes of
home-folks in home atmos-
phere. But such was the case.
Human beings are more or less
like sheep and 80 per cent of
them will follow the leader.
Parents should keep their chill.

will bring. forth the best that is in
them; and their young associates
