delightful letter from Mrs. Esther Clark Hill Of Cha-
mite, Kan, congratulating me upon being able to
change my mind. Mrs. Hill, BY the way. wrote the best
poem about a home state that | have ever read. 1t
is entitled "The Call OF Kansas" and was written years
ago when the author was in California. homesick for

Well, il ] am going to get credit and congratala-
ton for changing my opinions and beliefs, outlooks
and predictions, | believe I'm in for a happy SUNNI n.
For | do change these things from time to time. Long
ago ] tossed away all pride Of opinion. Long ago |
ceased to take pride in my ability to hold to an opin-
ion, good or bad, in the face Of overwhelming evidence
against the opinion.
Now I would hate to admit that I had any opinion
that was not subject TO change.
One Of the earliest opinions I can remember hold
irg was a firm conviction that my brother, three years
my senior, would end on a gallows. There was nothing
we could agree about, and We fought daily gor a
good many years. Well, I've had TO change my mind.

I used to believe that suspenders we're essential ~
DECENT comfort, and that anyone who wore a red necs-
tie was totally depraved. Now | find a belt nite
for the service formerly performed By sus-
pcnders. and red is my favorite color for neckwear.
4 used TO believe that girls who wore low nerks and
snort skirts were immodest and destructive of social
welfare Since then the neckline has gone steadiiv
down and the skirtline has gone rapidly up. and ]
think the girls were never so charmingly and beco,n-
ingiy dressed AZ they are today. ! find that dress his
n'tle enough to do with modesty and morals.

Conscientious parents. who regard stealing .,a
lying as cardinal sins. may unawares be teaching tbo;r
children TO be thieves and liars. The more conscis,-
tious they are, the more surely they may b plaptir,
IN the Uniformed characters Of their young bows and
girls seeds Of deceit and dishonesty, which viii al.
velop as the child develops, and which may never \.
eradicated.
How many a conscientious parent is distressed over
the innocent yarns Of fancy Of his little child The
child Is told that he is lying, when for him his fancics
arc all truths. His parents have read into his motives
and expressions what was never there.
The infant, from about two to five or six lives IN II
world of make-believe. The people of his world are
what he wishes them to be. In his fancy, he can cal
g his assistance any creatures that he wants and can
change them in the ~twinkling Of an eye; in defiance Of
the laws Of grayitation he can rise and sit upon N,
moon. IL he is lonely or does not find his playmates
to his liking he creates a personality who possesses all
the qualities that his creator wishes for himself, and
upon whom he can place blame for all conduct con-
sidered bad in him. This imaginary companion has a
name. and he exists for weeks and months and even
years.
II you do not want to force your child to lie. live
with him in his world Of make believe; listen to his
yarns. however wild they may appear to be. enjoy them,
express enthusiasm for them and stimulate him to 90
on creating more OF them. Fill him full Of fairy tales.
and at his suggestion dramatize with him. Be a tile
boz or girl again. Then you will make your hid
happy. stimulate his mental growth. and lay the basis
Of cooperation and Of truth and honesty,
