improve, Nothing right is expected of

The amazing and the bewildering part
of this is that they seem TO be totally
unaware that 1t is they themselves who
have fostered, encouraged and aided
her in the wrong development.
When expecting good deal of your
children, you must also have kindly
appreciation that mistakes do happen
sometimes, that no one is perfect, that
improvement Is to be expected. that the
constant doing of correct things means
growth in the right direction, and that
occasional mistakes should be tolerated,
If not overlooked. Do not cease to ex-
pect fine things of your children. They

they see you doing the very things that
you expect them not to do. Children
expect perfection of parents they love
and it is a shock to find anything less
than is expected of their ideal persons.

And there are few of us who do not

lilac, beyond all other garden shrubs,

But strangest of all the stations that

winds, and washed by wild cold waves.
Here, in a hollow between dunes stood
an abandoned houSe--the Old Bree-

tell you, saying the name mournfully.
And that spot was haunted by a trag-
edy--an ugly story of cruelty that end

not pass 1t without little shudder. But
