When there are several children in
the family it is difficult to keep clean

would gain our point and also cause
some merriment. The children all have
pennies of their own, so we decided
that whoever got spot on the table
cloth through carelessness must put 5
cents into box. 1t certainly worked
with the children, and they had many
a laugh on daddy because in carving
