OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI

Little children can understand only
the tangible things. the things they can
touch and taste and use for their own
purposes. They scarcely understand our
words. We have to 60 slowly in the
beginning. Use simple words, the names
Of things first of all, for things are what
children deal with, not ideas. These
grow out Of their experiences with
things-tangible things.
IT don't know what is wrong with
Susie. Her card came home with a
poor conduct mark because she talks
too much. promised her new dress
If she got a better mark this month
and it's just as bad"
A reward a month away is not a
tangible thing to ths child and he can
not get excited about 1t. He means
well. He means to please you and get
the reward as we'll, but a month
away-that does not touch him. The
reward must be immediate, following
close to the good deed. And 1t must be
a tangible one If it Is to work well.
Praise accompanies the tangible evi-
dence Of well doing, Of course. Children
cherish kind words and smiles, but they
value things that come with the smiles
and kind words, too, and because they
are very material things we try to see
that they get all the experience with
things in this stage Of their growth
Children, you see. are thing minded.
Ideas are to grow from the experiences
with things and people and processes,

to understand when to refrain from
summoning this busy woman to answer
an insignificant, If pleasant. telephone
call.
This is but one instance Of the mop
perfume telephone call. So regardless are
persons of anothers time that few
hints on when to avoid calling persons
to the phone may be worth mentioning.
Don't call a business person to the
phone at time when he or she would
be leaving home. To be late to business
is a serious matter. :
Don't call person at place Of busi-
ness unless there is matter of so much
importance that the message or ques-
ton must be delivered or answered i'm
mediately.
Don't call a woman of leisure too early
in the morning. It is most annoying to
be summoned to the phone when you
are in the midst of the late morning
sleep and are not really awake. There
are business persons who work late at
night, writers, especially, and to them
the morning sleep is imperative.
Friends who retire early should not
be called TO the phone late in the eve
ming. If you are among those who re-
tire late, it may seem absurd not to talk
with a friend, or consult about business
over the phone after O'Clock. There
are many persons. however, who belong
to the group of morning workers." that
is those who find their minds are fresh
est and best early in the morning. These
persons are wise when they retire very
early. This should be respected
Don't call any one to the phone Just
at meal hour, or If you fear you may
not reach them except at that time, sug-
geSt that they call you back when they
are through the meal or at some mu-
tually convenient time.
Don't call person to the phone just
for conversation on the day when she is
There are so many abso-
iutely necessary details 20 attend to at
such day that Interruptions, unless of
a business nature. are not welcome.
Learn to be considerate about when
you make telephone calls, and how long
you talk, for thus only will your calls be
truly agreeable and welcome.

should be of the blood royal. Dudley
consequently picked Lady Jane Grey
who was Of royal stock both on the side
Of her father, the Duke of Suffolk, and
her mother, Frances Brandon. She was
married to Lord Guilford Dudley in
June, 1853. A few days later Edward
VI died. On July Lady Jane ascend

She reigned but ~ days. At the end
Of that period adherentS of the Prin-
cess Mary overthrew Northumberland
and cast the Queen and her young hus-
band in prison. They were tried for
high treason, though they had no share
in the plotting which had upset the
succession. Convicted, they were SEN
fenced to be executed. And now Jane
Grey had proved herself to be as brave
as she was learned and virtuous.
She and Guilford were executed In
different spots. He died at Tower Hlu
and she at White Tower.

"Oh, Guilfordl Guilford!" she ex-

tasted and that shall soon taste Is
nothing compared to the feast that you

Undisturbed, she went to- the scaffold
as though she were proceeding to a
wedding banquet.
Her composure was not shaken by
the sight of the fatal block, but after
she had bound her eyes with a hand
kerchief and knelt she lost its location.
Feeling vainly for it, she exclaimed, as
easily as If she were playing game OF

A bystander guided her. Whereupon,
laying her head down, she exclaimed in
clear voice, Lord, into Thy hands I

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

December 20, 1S55-The grand re-
suit of the protracted struggle in the
effort to elect a Speaker Of the House
Of Representatives, according to an ar
ticle in The Evening Star today, has
been to prove the fact that, with the
exception of the II professed members
Of the Democratic party and half
dozen Know Nothings, the whole North,
as represented in the House, has buried
its former differences on every other
question and formed an ultra anti
slavery league on the platform which
Representa- tive Giddings Of Ohio has
long occupied alone.
Whether they were previously Wings
or Democrats, continues The Star,
they now stand united simply as anti
slavery men, bent on organizing the
House according to the views of the
duty OF Congress with reference to the
future Of slavery in the United States
which Mr. Giddings has so long
preached and Mr. Greeley so long pub
lished. We need not repeat them here,
as every newspaper reader in the
United States, of course, knows them.
"Three-fourths Of these gentlemen,
very nearly, were elected as Know
Nothings, owing their seats In Congress
to their profession Of devotion to Know
Nothingisn1. They now profess unmit-
igated contempt for it, and it is due
TO Know Nothingism that we should
state the fact.
But for the protracted struggle we
believe that it would have been many
months before the unanimity of abo-
lition sentiments, existing among them
would have been so completely made
manifest
$50 far nothing has occurred in the
hall of the House apparently expediting
the solution Of their difaculty. The
exposition Of views, past history and
future political intentions Of honorable
members, now being made, have only
served TO render wider and more
marked the isolation Of the three
parties who are contending against each
other.
I'VE have abandoned all hope OF
seeing an organization effected shortly,
except through the occurrence OF
something as yet undreamed of that
will be little short Of e miracle. The
expectation of the supporters Of Mr..
Banks is certainly in the end to force
the administration to acquiesce indl-
rectly In that gentleman's election
through the want Of wherewithal 70
carry on the Government, growing OUT
| Of failure to organize"
