nitely for some special parties
that your hostess planned for you.
Perhaps she gave a tea. perhaps
a dinner. perhaps a dance-they
should be mentioned specifically
and commented on appreciatiyely.
Tee, she will like to have you
speak of her friends by way OF
appreciation of having met them,
and any ether features of your
visit. If your room was particu-
larry restful for tired you, mem
ton that with gratitude and APP
probation. II. there are other
members OF the family. they too.
will be happy to be mentioned In

In other words, do not write
a vague letter OF thanks, but an
articulate one that really shows
that you have that gentle art Of
appreciation that makes us all,
and especially hostesses, happy.

CARING FOR

The bird cage should be cleaned

is too small will irritate the tail

UNDER THE
LADDER

There is an old superstition,
which is still quite common, that
it is unFucky to walk under a
ladder. How the belief originated
is not known. One writer sug-
gests it may have arisen from the
fact that in early times cuIprits
were often hanged from ladders
propped against buildings. An
other believes that the supersti-
ton is the natural outgrowth OF
the danger incident to walking
under ladders. According to the
most usual version of the super
stition. i'll luck will follow a. per-
son who walks under a ladder,
unless he stops to make a wish,
in which event no ill luck will
befall him. Moreover. the wish
made under such circumstances
will come true. In England the
superstition has a special provi-
sion. namely. If an unmarried
woman walks under a ladder she
Will not be married within a year.
1t is also considered unlucky to
walk on a ladder lying on the
ground.-The Pathfinder.

IT am 81. For the past year 1
have been going with a certain
young man every single night.
He has often talked of mar
riage. and we had planned TO wed
last month. But he postponed our
marriage, giving as his reason
that he wanted to have more
money saved.
Now he seldom speaks of mar
riage, but always says he loves
me. There have been times lately,
though, when he would go out.

he would say. That is entirely

LAUNDERING
LINEN

Linen damask tablecloths and
napkins should have the crutiny
OF your home washing If possible.
Otherwise select thoroughly re-
liable laundry in which cutting
solutions are not used.
New linens should be Numbered
before they are put away for stor-
age.
Linen actually enjoys exposure
to the sun and dew, and, in fact,
no substitute has ever been found
to compare with this sun bath in
keeping linens beautifully white.
Store linens in chests subjected
to an even temperature. Always
avoid the excessive concentrated
heat of radiators and pipes. Cedar
chests are probably the best con-
tanners.
Wrap your linens for stora ge
in fast coIored blue paper.

Upon passing huge church,
he asked in a penetrating, high
voice Mother, is that a church?
The woman laughed. mo. that's
the police-station, she informed
him. This accorded her a few
giggIes. which was what she d.
sired. Someday the little boy
will tell someone that the build
ing is the police station and he
will be ridiculed. Not only will
he be hurt by the laughter OF
others, but he will remember
hack and know that his mother
had made sport of him. I wonder
which is the more important. the
fleeing notice of total strangers
or the faith of our young ones?
Yet so many of us, either to
play for attention from other
adults, or TO get the answering of
the eternal questions over with
as quickly as possible, tell our
children the first thing which
pops into our heads. When we
consider the fact that asking
questions is a small child's only
means OF acquiring information,
it seems that we could at least
accord him our serious attention
and reply to the best of our
ability.
AS an opposite example, there
lives a little girl in a home which
boasts an intelligent, truthful
mother, and the tiny daughter is
termed a child-prodigy by many
people. AS a matter of fact, she
is lust a. normal, healthy. inquisi-
tive child. but when she asks
questions they are answered truth
fully and thoughtfully.
I admired two new book ends
which had been given 20 her
mother. and she said to me:
THAT man is thinking" What
makes YOU believe he is think
ing?' inquired. Because. that's
his name" she replied, He is
The Thinker Nothing extraor
binary about the fact that a child
should know the name of Robins
creation. When she had Queried
her mother about the nan. she
had been told the truth about it,
that was all.
This particular mother is, to
my mind, such an ideal one, that
her handling of the going away"
problem is worth relating. she
leaves the small girl with the
maid at times, TO attend social
events. but there are no tears nor
ekirt-pullings when it is time for
Mother to go. Instead a smiling
little face is lifted for the farewell
kiss, and a lovely little voice
says: Have a good time,
Mother" The mother has always
told the child. even when she was
q baby so tiny that she perhaps
did not fully understand, just
where she was going and when
she would return. If she were TO
be gone all day. there was no
weak, evasive promise of: Til
be back in a few minutes" just
to spare herself possible scenes.
The trip was freely discussed with
great emphasis upon the point
that she would most certainly
return, and at about a certain
time. The child believes her, be-
cause she has never lied to her.
1T is so easy to tell child en-
the truth. Why do we so often
