ment of the child; then at school. Try
to change the situation so that the child
can feel adequate, whether it is socially,
financially practically, as in work,
Give the child an allowance. Help
and advise about its use, but allow the
child to have the experience of spend
ing. If you can manage wisely, he will
soon learn the meaning and the use of
money.
Guard your own attitude about
money. If you leave your purse about
the house careleSsly; If you seem to
spend money without thought; if you
never know whether you had a SLOT or
$5.25, you are encouraging child in
his disregard, in his ignorance rather,
of money.
Keep your purse where it belongs.
Keep all money out of sight. Follow
some system of keeping accounts, so
that you are certain of the sum you
had and what you did with it. When
you make a purchase, do it thought
fully. When you can conveniently do
so, discuss the matter with the family
and hear their opinions Make spending
money a matter of importance, fore
thought, care.
Teach child that money is the SYM
boil of labor well performed. For every
dollar in this country somebody worked
and worked hard. If the child does not
learn to respect work and its reward, he
will not succeed at his own work. Begin
early. Teach the child to work. Let
him earn and spend under wise super
vision. Try to keep him busy and
| happy. II you can do this, you can cure
the most stubborn case of pilfering.

Brave Women and Girls of History
Marie Antonee Calm Under Rife Apoogzed for Step
ping Executioners Foot.
BY J. p. GLASS.

You are happier than I. Mine have
been flowing secretly for two years, but
am obliged to swallow them"
Her ordeal grew worse and worse
until the terrible hour after her trial
when she heard the sentence of death.
She received it without emotion, saying
not word.
When the executioner came to get her
he was accompanied by priest.
This is the moment to show your
courage" said the latter.
"Courage!" exclaimed Marie. II have
long learned to have courage: be sure
shall not lack it today"
In the street the crowd greeted her
with insulting shouts.
ALAS" she retorted, my woes will
soon end-yours are only beginning"
Mounting the steps of the scaffold
she accidentally stepped on the execu-
toners foot. He swore; she apologized
Kneeling on the platform she prayed
"Oh, Lord, enlighten and move those
who do me to DEATH" and then hur-
ried to the guillotine.
She died so nobly that she effaced
recollection of many of her faults.

Pilfering.

Pilfering is a common habit in early
childhood. Little ones under 10 years
of age are likely to show this trait at
one time or another. Usually it is but
the last traces of an ancient acquiSitive-
ness We call it the crow age, because
the child picks up little things that have
no value for him or anybody else and
stores them away. This sort OF pilfering
is easily managed. A few words OF I'M
Outstanding counsel settles the matter.
Then along in the early years Of
adolescence the trouble breaks out again.
Many children take money from their
parents purses and pockets. When this
happens the flIAS thing to do is to have
investigated by the very best child ex-
pert you can get.
Then study his home environment. Is
he happy? Why not? Can you make
him happy by removing the cause of his
unhappineSS? If you can, the pilfering
will very likely cease. It is often the
indication of a child unhappineSS.
Sometimes he longs to have something
that you consider beyond his reach and
yours. Clear that up if you meet it.
Sometimes he is longing for an oppor-
tunity to be important.
If there are several children in the
family. this one is usually the sup
pressed one. He never has a chance to
shine. Maybe he is slower than the
others, maybe the girl is not as pretty
as her sister, or as gifted as her brother
That starts this difficulty, too. Search
for the cause In the immediate environ
