or ducks II you like. Take out the gall

odd King Cole" was Jolly soul,
whom we remember for his pipe and
bowl and his fiddlers three, but we
might better recall him as the father
of Helena, q princess who played a
vastly greater role in history than he.
"Old King Cole" was in reality Coel,
King of Camolodunum, q country in
ancient England comprising what is
now Essex and Suffolk. But Rome
ruled Britain, and Coel, as a tributary
prince, whimsically was satisfied to en-
Joy his music and his flowing bowl
rather than protest against the for

Poor old monarch! He was hemmed
in by dominating influences. The
Princess Helena was patriot. She
wanted to throw of the Roman yoke.

Your Baby and Mine
Child's Desire to Help.
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

When a mother gets solicited into a
nice, conventional, adult mold she finds
1t hard to be tolerant of the chlld'S
eternal desire to play. 1t is SO much
less Wearisome to her to say: Now l
want you girls to help me with the
busting because l have so much to do, =
and then to complain, shame, plead
and coax when the girls don't fly to
busting with vigor. 1t is easier to say
sternly: Now come to bed like good
children, right this minute!" than to
appear in the guise of Mother Rabbit
who has to tuck her Dummies under a
cabbage leaf, or to play being a big,
strong wind that hustleS all the little
leaves ahead OF her right into the house
and up to bed. The prosaic parent
says How sillyl" and goes on being
unsuccessful in getting the ordinary and
inevitably monotonouS every day tasks
done, and in enforcing regular habits,
because she refuses to fall into the
play spirit which appeals to every child
IT would like to commend your arti-
Giles about habits being easier to make
than to break" writes Mrs. b. B. M
1T is desirable to teach cleanly habits
even before a child can walk. My two
year-old took a train trip of several
thousand miles and slept in trains
hotels and friends homes without a
mishap She went to bed at six, when
ever possible, and was never IN any
ones way.
"The Ave and six year olds used to
play a game called fairies To play
it pinned tissue paper wings on their
shoulders and at once they became in
visible. Then while I acclaimed weari-
ness and the amount of work awaiting
me, the busting began to do itself, the
dishes to be washed and the papers to
be picked up, mySteriously, until be-
came convinced that the fairies were at
work. Children love to help if they are
appreciated, encouraged and work can
be as much fun as play"
