Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

A child senses all too quickly when
ths ADULTS OF the family disa~-ee as to
MS rearing. We all know the effect
upon children when Grandmother n
the sly feeds them food forbidden them
by the mother; when father and mother
are IN open conflict over the kind of
punishment best suited to their mis-
demeanors; when Daddy says: "You
can have your dessert even II yo,,
haven't eater your vegetables. don't
like vegetables myself"
There are fathers who, It would seem,
lie IN wait for situation that viii ele-
vate them In the esteem Of their chill
dren. Mother may have been sorely
tried and the child punished. She runs
to Daddy for comfort, when he comes
home, with long tale of how cross
Mother has been. She wouldn't let me
play with Ellen Louise because I went
across the street and had to 60 be-
cause Ellen Louise called me and
Daddy says: Come to me. I'll be good
to you. Mother is mean to make you
stay at home" ooh no, this isn't the
least exaggeratedD
For the moment Father wins and the
child nestles down in his arms and lux
uriates IN his sympathy. She feels that
her mother Is cross old thing and the
next time her mother denies her q wish,
or Furnishes her for misbehavior she'll
shout 1t at her: Gross old thing!
Daddy says you are"
This is not a permanent method Of
winning childs affection. Down deep

she has discovered that she can always

Sometimes the stumbling blocks In
the household are some in-laws who live

usually finds that the in-laws oppose

making and enters into the business
world, as, for instance. when she lets
rooms, takes boarders. or turns her nat
ural ability for cooking. etc. into money
making. This Is apart from the real
occupation of running q home on busi-
ness principles.
The matter Of significance Is that in
home -making there Is no marginal all
lowance for unwise expenditure nor
waste.
In the commercial world there is q
flexible margin which sometimes is
made to include shrinkage. leakage and
actual waste. Even In the last item
there Is what may be termed legitimate
waste, unavoidable, and to be guarded
against, but which from its very nature
comes under the head of loss In the
columns of profit and loss.
What a Joy 1t would be to a home
maker IL some of what are termed her
extravagances or her wastefulness could
be looked upon with as much leniency
as II her home was business. For in
stance, the father-in-law of one home
maker used to bring her q weekly bas-
ket Of delicious fruits-a large basket.
When some of the plums were discov-
cred to have decayed before they were
eaten q stop was put to the much
priced present. No more baskets of
fruit!
The fact that they were rather too
ripe to keep well and while being saved
as . special treat until some of the other
fruit was eaten they had become over
ripe was of no moment. The housewife
was "extravagant" and "wasteful." OF
course, she should have served the
plums before, but her desire to spin out
the contents of the basket should have
weighed in her favor, and the misfor-
tune shoulde have come under the loss
side Of profit and loss, as 1t would have
In business. The loss was trivial. but
the results were not.
Every home-maker knows of times
when she deplores spoilage, but unless
she is careless in her work and permits
such things to be habitual, she Is not
necessarily extravagant or wasteful
Such items when occasion should come
under loss, not waste. And what she is
able to save by wise buying or careful
management over and above q suitable
allowance for running q house should
be set down to her credit as profit. This
does not imply scrimping, as does the
word saving. PROFIT and loss should be
housekeeping terms.

The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.

Now 1t can be told why at least one
friend Of ours is successful. He is one
of the country's best known political
scribes. Also he broadcasts political
subjects. Can you identify him?
Some time ago female numerologis;
called on him. She told him that his
favorable number is 10. He probably
had not thought Of the matter until she
mentioned it.
In checking up, the numerolog1st dis
covered that the writer's house num-
Der in Washington is 1913, the sum OF
the numerals totaling 10. His phone
number Is 1851, another 10. His auto
mobile license numbers combined made
10.
So interested was the lady that she
looked up q former address Of the writ
er She found that it was 1881, which
totaled another 10.
If any one has our lucky number, 1t
will be gratefully received.
