out with any one else during the
week and | got tired of it. as he
doesn't dance and I'm crazy about
dancing.
So | quit him and have gone
out with some boys that dance.
He is not on speaking terms
with the boys and girls who used
to go out with US, because | do
not go out with him. He blames
them for my quitting him. They
are not to blame and don't know
what to think of it. How can
explain this to him?
l am going now with young
man who has been away from
his wife for three years. He is
not divorced. He tells me that
he is never going back to her
and that he is going to divorce
her. Is it wrong for me to go
out with him? He says he cares
great deal for me and he Is
very jealous. When we are at

dance with any of the others.

The other device used in the
nursery schools is what is called

pieces of wood shaped like bricks
and tack rubber mating atop each
of these, mailing them on the board
zig-Zag fashion. This board may
be prOpped up on the first step to
the back porch or on the side of
the crate, as the child grows more
proficient in climbing. Your tiny
child will climb up and down many
times, hugely enjoying his sense
of power as he learns to co.ordi-
nate desire and muscle. This board
serves as excellent stairs with
which to enter the crate play

With one of these crates as
starting point, wagons and kid
die.cars will come into play for
moving day, or delivery of grocer
les and so on.
Get your small child a little

Of his cart he can assist you to
clean up the yard. taking away
the leaves and refuse in the cart
and dumping them in the alley
or trash can.
Every child enjoyes kite flying,
but be sure that the kites are
fastened with a string, not wire,
as some serious accidents have
occurred because of wires on
kites getting entangled with over
head wires, causing severe shocks.
Older children will enjoy an i'm
provised carpenter shop on the
back porch or in the garage,
where they can make bird houses.
Get your boy good tools. not toys,
and let him make his bird-houses
early. They are much more desire

they are a bit weathered.
There are so many exciting and
enjoyable things to do out of
