put TO the test the alleged differences

AS Prof Fenton says. what has come
to be a popular prejudice against the
only" child may in many cases be a
source Of grave injustice" An observer
at a children's. camp tried to infer from
the way In which the children helped"
their neighbors at the tables whether
they were only children or not. He
thought those who looked out for No
only would be 'only" children. AS a
fact. there were just as many polite as
impolite children In each group. Pre-
snmahly this depends more on the
training that the child receives than on
his position In the family.
Since we all know what the dangers
are for the eldest, or the youngest. or
the middle child twho never get any
new clothes. but wear the hand-me-
downs of the older chlldren). as well
as OF the only" child, we can provide
against these harTdicaps Though we
have much new knowledge OF child
hood there Is grave danger that In
following scientific" views not wisely
but too well we shall neglect common
sense. Apparently one In six Is an
eonly'' child. Apparently also he Is
just like the other five, and has just as
good chance OF being well brought
up, though doubtless greater care must
be exercised In doing so.

Manners.


Youth Is self conscious and shy.
Faced with a new situation the young
people try to cover their fear and
anxiety with a careless manner They
carry things through with a loud tone
and a slangy phrase or squirm and
wiggle and stammer. Only the well
trained youth and maiden have the
poise and case that good manners bring.
There Is form for everything that
we do and the nearer we come to the
perfect form the closer We approach

Of doing everyday things. They are

other people are. 1t is no longer posi-

place in business enterprise and have
uncouth manners. The girl who has no
manner and no manners must be con-

and they are rarely found nowadays in
high places
1t Is not too much to ask that grad

good manners. Ones patience is sorely

Play Frocks for Little Girls
BY MARY MARSHALL.

No considerate mother would expect
her 5-year-old son to wear his sisters
Outgrown bloomer frocks for playtime,
but most little girls are only too de-
lighted to wear big brothers suits.
Much as you may have done to root
out feeling Of sex inequality In the
minds Of your children, you will doubt
less still notice that your son resents
being called girly girl, whereas your
daughter is quite willing to be called
tomboy
There are very serviceable play frocks
for little girls-and you may have
chosen some OF these for your own
daughterS-but many mothers much
prefer little boy suits instead. For
dress-up occasion your Jack and Jill
may appear in brother and sister en-
semble, but for playtime they may look
like two little Jacks instead.
MILDLY and navy suits for both girls
and boys are extremely smart. as part
Of the general revival Of yachting FASH
ions this season. The boys suits are
made with very short trousers, with
trim little MILDLY blouses extending just
below the hips, and may be worn
warm weather without the dicky at the
front. The little girls matching suits
are made with the same sort Of MILDLY
blouse-only with very short pleated
skirts.
Some women cannot resist the temp
tation to dress their little daughters in
clothes of a more frilly, feminine sort,
but where the best dressed children are
to be seen you will see a surprising
dearth OF these fussier frocks.
This weeks home dressmaker's help
consists of directions for making the
MILDLY emblems which are now used on
blouses, Jackets and frocks for women
as well as children. These emblems are
easily embroidered and the circular
shows exactly how 1t Is done. If you
want copy of the circular please send
me stamped. self addressed envelope
and | will send 1t to you at once.

THE RADIATOR SCREEN MAY SERVE AS AN EXTRA TABLE

How 10 treat radiators which pro-
trude into the room so that they may
become part of the decorative element
OF an all-year-rcund house during the
Summer months is matter for some
consideration. The solution given to-
day has many things TO recommend it..
AS well as neautifying the room, ra-
diator screen may also serve as an
extra table.
The best manner of treatment may
not be the same for different rooms
For instance. If it, is an informal room
with reed or wicker furnishings, the
choice would not be the same as if the
room were of more formal character.
Therefore, two ways are suggested, one
