OUR CHILDREN By Angelo p..ri

Your marked silence Win speak louder
| than your words.
Do not tell Of his exploit before him,
| or, in fact, behind him If you can help
| 1t. The less said the better. The less
| drama, the less fear. the less excite
ment he gets out of the occasion the
less likely he Is to repeat 1t. The more
| inconvenience to him personally the
better But do not burn his fingers;
| do not beat him; do not scream at him.
Keep still and let him find his own
way out Of the trouble as far as pos
sible.
Some children set one fire and never
set another. Some will set two or three
and the phase Is over. Now and again
there Is child who keeps on setting
fires until he is or 10 years old. That
child needs the attention Of the child
specialist.
All children love a bonfire. When
boys take old pots and put fire In them
and signal each other, as warriors Of
old, never mind. When they gather
waste materials for an election fire. di-
rect them as to the place and the time
and supervise them. These fires are
purpoSeful; they are in celebration of a
rite. They have no relation to the de-
sire of the child to set fire Just for
the love of the fame and the smoky
smell and the excitement.
1t Is the setting of the tiny fire In the
corner Of a room, in the empty room
under the bed. in the corner of the cell
lar, that the and years old enjoys.
This is the instinct Of old and must be
redirected. Don't be frightened. Watch
and keep calm. Guard the matches
without making parade about 1t. Direct
the child's attention to other things.
Give him, If possible, a new and abb
sorbing interest. But don't beat him.

Mild Astringents.

AS soon as you get anywhere near
the age where you expect wrinkles start
using mild astringents. Some women
begin to wrinkle before they are 25,
which seems terrible, and some show
practically no lines at all until they are
nearly 40, which is better. But after 80
wrinkles can be logically expected.
There are great many mild aStrin-
gents which you can use. I find that
wetting some cotton in witch hazel is
as good as any, or else you can use
toilet water or toilet vinegar. Both con-
tain alcohol and other slightly astrin-
gent ingredients. A quite cloudy mix
ture Of benzoin and water is very good,
too; never give proportions, that is,
in these simple things, for all you do
is to keep dropping tincture of benzoiyl
into water, and when 1t is quite milky
looking, stop, and there's your astrin-
gent. If it draws the skin uncomfort-
ably add more water.
White Of egg is a marvellous astrin-
gent. If 1t is simply beaten up little
and spread over the skin, after the face
has been previously cleansed with cold
cream, it makes an astringent face
mask which cannot be bettered. One
very expensive beauty shop makes this
up with vinegar, and little alum, and

Most people are balanced; few are
not. The proportion of the balanced to
the unbalanced is something like eight
to two in every ten.
The eight are fairly easy to figure
out, because there Is a little streak OF
all sorts of human ingredients in their
make-ups. Their reactions to usual
situations are standardized. They are,
as a rule, the hewers of wood and the
drawers of water, going about the world
doing the days work.
The two others are fairly hard to
read. because they specialize on a Few
of the ordinary human ingredients.
They are more or less notorious for
their unusual ideas and activities. One
doesn't know what to expect OF them,
because their attitudes are likely TO be
anything but the ones that the situa-
ton usually evokes.
The two out of the ten are notorious
either for being tough-minded or ten
der minded. In other words, they
either think their way through the

Making Fires

Fire worship seems to be instructive
in some children. All children delight
in fire and at one time or another de-
sire strongly to set fires and see the
flames rise. Even you and I, grown
wise with the years, can stand and
watch a fire that is costing us nothing,
as long as the firemen and police hold
their patience.
But it is no trif1ing matter for the
mother Of child who has the fire.
setting notion strongly to the fore. 1t
seems impossible to teach the young fire
lover the danger Of his quest. He
weeps and promises to reform, waggles
his head solemnly in token Of under
standing and sways it from side to side
with the gravity of true mourner in
token that never again will he so much
as look at a match. And then he
does it again.
Usually he is somewhere between 8
and 5 years of age. He is a creature
of instincts rather than of reason and
talking to him, reasoning with him,
does not help. Only experience can
| reach him. We have to learn to say
| little. Impress him with the feeling
that his offense is so great it can be
spoken of only in whispers, gestures OF
distress. And let the weight of the diff
ficulty fall upon his shoulders as far a,
possible.
After you have put out his little fire
make him put 1t out" pouring or
water or sand, in as great quantity as
time and place will permit If pos
sible let this process inconvenience him
Then let him clean up the mess as far
as his abilities permit. That too, is tt

Modern housewives have advantages
that would amaze old-fashioned home
makers, but in those bygone days they
did not have the modern pressure of
life on them.
Scientific cooks are constantly en-
gagged in evolving new recipes that will
compete with old ones and yet require
far less time to prepare. The results
are amazing. Some entire dinners Of
several courses can be made ready to
serve in half an hour or in three
quarters of an hour. OF course, the
woman preparing the dishes must work
to schedule to accomplish much rapid
results, but they can be accomplished
and without rushing about.
The housewife herself is learning to
estimate time needed to prepare dishes
and to see how fast and how compe-
tently she can work. Time Is an asset
in home-making now, as it Is in busi-
ness. Speed Is desirable but not rush.
The former can be gained by quiet,
competent work, free from hustle. which
consumes energy and accomplishes
little or nothing. The woman who
would spend the minimum amount of
time In cooking foods will find herself
selecting recipes with an eye to the time
required in preparation, but also she
will be learning to work with system
and quiet activity that make every mo-
ment count in actual results.
