LITTLE BENNY
BY LEE PARE.

After suppir pop lit a cigar in his
private chair and put his feet up with
q satisfied expression, saying, three
cheers for this werld and the next werld
and all my former incarnations. After
bleeving for as years that it was i'm
possible for me to have any luck, what
did 20 and do today but find a five
doller bill, he sed.
Well for goodness sakes, ma sed, and
pop sed, That's putting it mildly. This
little incident is likely to alter the whole
corse of my life by filling me with new
confidents, and with confidents a man
can do anything. There 1t was looking
sweetly up at me from the paVemenC
and inviting me to pick 1t up as though
IL knew that the deerest dreem OF my
life was to some day find a f1ve-doller
bill, he sed.
Well of all things, ma sed, and pop
sed 1t wasent an old bill either, 1t was

Anyways nobody can deny that found
a five-doller bill after waiting all these
wears, 50 let the glad tidings ring out,
let all the little children be given half

Well Willyum think that's perfeckly

meen after me losing a five-doller bill
while / was doing the marketing this
morning, I meen that just makes the
family even, and of corse I'm delighted
because it just seems to take all the
sting out Of my loss.
We gods, I'm going around to the

Dean Swift, whom Sir Walter Scott
called the greatest man England had
produced. ana whose "Gulliver's Trav-
els" still are regarded by school chill
dren as a mixed blessing, was strolllng
with Q friend in the country one day.
They came upon a majestic elm, the
ton branches Of which were withered.
hAh, my friend" said Swift, like
that tree, I shall die at the top"
This prediction was true, for his rea.
son later became muddled.
He seems always TO have feared
mental arrangement. It is said that 1t
was his sympathy with those Of feeble
or unsettled mind which prompted him
to found o hospital for idiots.
An interesting anecdote OF his later
days Is told.
Re-reading his tale Of Tub" he
exclaimed, GOOD heavens, what a
genius had when wrote that book!
It Is gone now-gone-gone forever!"
In London, Swift's favorite loafing
place was Buttons Coffee House, where
he was known as the Mad Parson" be-
cause he rarelv spoke to any one, spend
ing his time, when not slipping a drink,
in pacing up and down IN moody
silence. Sometimes he would break his
silence In a most unexpected way.
One day, for instance, a country
gentleman came in wearing boots spat-
tered with mud. Swift Immediately
saluted him with this surprising CUES
tim.

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

If we so much as mention nursery
schools in an article we are confronted
in a few days with piles Of letters de-
handing: What are nursery schoolss
Where can I find one? What are their
fees? What age child do they takeF
Are they better for only children than
those in a large fanily2 What are their
hours? and Don't you think mother
should take care OF her own cnnoF
Let us take them one by one. a
nursery school Is one designed 70 MI
the normal play and growth needs OF
the child of pre-school age. Their oo-
iectives are similar: ITO enable the
child TO advance in the direction OF In
dependence Of attitude and self-inttia-
tive of activity" The child learns TO
do for himself, experiment in action and
note the result, sometimes the penalty.
Play is the important activity OF the
small child In the nursery school he
has free access to every type OF toy or
game or play apparatus in which
child of his afe could and should be in
terested. He lives in an atmosphere
that is natural. There are tables and
chairs and pictures and plants and gold
fish and birds. He learns to enjoy and
preserve them all.
He maps and lunches. goes to toilet
and plays out of doors at regular hours.
He Is encouraged to do for himself. but
is given help II he needs 1t. Because
the teacher is conversant with chill
dren's behavior she is able TO handle
more wisely the problems which arise
as surely in nursery school as In the
home. She is, in most instances, far
more capable, less emotional, more OBJ
jective than a mother could ever be.
Children find their temper tantrunas
unproductive and come to have an APP
probation of the rights Of others, while
still able to pursue their own ways in
dependently. They can play with chill
dren or by themselves. There is no
compulsion In the nursery school.
The usual hours for q nursery school
ere from am. to 2 or pm. The
usual ages are from II or 10 months to
. or years. There are fees and they
differ with different schools.
The most helpful suggestion I can
make about finding a nursery school is
TO consult your local school department
or nearest State university or normal
school and ask for their location. 1t
must be kept in mind that they are
small in number. Usually there are
long waiting lists sometimes of chill
dren Just born, so that at the present
time getting your child into a nursery
school Is test OF patience and fore
thought. There are private nursery
schools almost everywhere, but at the
public school ofices they should know
about these, too. ] can't promise that
with all your interest or activity in find
ing one you will be successful. The list
is woefully small but growing yearly.
We can only hope that with their con-
tinued success and the mothers con-
t1nued interest the need for more and
more nursery schools will become obvi-
Gus. In the meantime we can. only
envy the small children who are fortu-
nate enough to be enrolled In one.

Once in four weeks rub the scalp with

BEAUTY CHATS
Letting the Hair Grow.

Some women are letting their hair
grow in again, though, as said little
while ago, most of them are very young
women who have only known the short
hair fashion, to whom long hair is a
novelty. They don't, as yet, know the
nuisance it's care and arrangement can
be, nor are they likely to to. for long
hair today means only hair of a length
sufficient to form mass Of curls on the
neck, or else the smallest and simplest
knock at the back. Long or short. the
hair still clings tightly to the fashion,
able head, showing its outline.
If you are letting your hair grow.
you must have a hair tonic that will
stimulate its growth. There's a most
uncomfortable in-between period, when
the hair looks as though it merely
needed cutting very badly. Get this
over as soon as possible. A hair tonic
used regularly every other day on the
scalp and nightly massage with the nm
gers will make it grow much faster.
The tonic always recommend Is:
