Should Children Be Paid?

This is one Of the many questions
that relate more to moral habits and
attitudes than to mental ones; yet
there is slice of psychology in it. The
question isn't whether the compen-
Sation motive is good or bad, but when
and how to introduce it in the lives
of children, and Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Jones may differ on that quite a.
much as Mr.. Smith may differ with
Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Smith with Mr..
Jones, and yet all be partly right.
There isn't just one answer, certainly
no simple Eyes" or mo-"
On this we may agree, that early
in life children should be taught the
use of money and the value of money.
Now the value of money doesn't mean
merely telling pennies from dimes,
%but something of the process by which
money is earned. 1t may do for a g.
money you go to bank and take it;
but that won't do for a 10-year-old.
It's easier to teach a 10-year-old to
keep account of his spending money
than to get him to feel what goes in
to the making" of money. Yet you
don't want to make him a money
maker too early or too much so. You
don't want to make him feel that he
won't do anything useful unless he Is
paid for it. Later on we call that
being mercenary.
There are always chores to be done
and it's hard to get them done; learn
ing to do them is worth while, and
pennies and dimes may be earned
that way as well as by shoveling snow,
which is fun for little while and be-
comes a chore If there's too much of
it. Some Mr.. Smiths or Mrs. JoneSs
hesitate because they want their boys
and girls to do these things from a
sense of duty rather than hope Of re-
ward.
Another troublesome matter Is that
some children really need the money;
and those who don't look down on
these who do have to earn. A little
later boys or girls who buy their way
to favors and pay others to do their
chores may become snobbish. Chill
dren who get all the money they want
by asking for it face the same danger.
Sooner or later the child must get a
proper sense of the value of money,
and one of the indispensable ways of
acquiring 1t is by earning. Yet you
don't want to make children either
graSping or money minded, nor care
less in money matters either.
With so many things to consider,
it's hard to find the middle ground
between the too much and the too
little. My own inclinations are these:
think the compensation motive
should be late rather than early, and
should be made little of rather than
stressed in the childs life. 1t is more

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Artistic Bobbing,

The barber shops were the first bob
Der shops. The girls idea was to get
haircut, to get rid of the old-style
switch and be f1apper With young
girls, the act of cropping the mop of
hair was not SO bad, since a vivaciouS
manner and sweet face can get along
without woman's browning glory.
But when women as well as girls
sought the shears and the hair began
to fall in all directions, what was all
right with golden locks was not so good
with gray, and something had to be
done. The bob must not take away
from woman's beauty, but must leave
1t as it was, or perhaps improve and
enhance 1t. That has been the problem
of the bob.
The loss of lovely locks was serious
thing with many women and with
others 1t was almost fatal Unless a
woman was reformer who didn't care
for looks, she Stunned the bob as
though it were pest. But there Is
bobbing and bobbing.
The proper caper for the hair-cutter
is to make the bob add to and not SUBJ
tract from the beauty of the head. The
head? Yes, for it was that which was
often lost to view with the old-style
couture. People knew that a woman
had something on the top of her neck
and then there was the pretty face, but
the sculptured head was not in it with
the wig
When q modern woman decides to let
her hair go the way men did when
they came out of the woods, she is only
like an Oriental dame who sings her
veil into the discard, If she really does
that. Both women feel that they want
to move about without any DISCUSSES
and away go veil and switch, to say
nothing of hatpins and hairpins. That
is the woman who has shifted the air
Of freedom
Artistic bobbing Is something to be
done by an artist rather than a horse
clipper. Care must be taken to observe
the contour of woman's head so that
her profile shall be as clear cut as the
lines of her frock. We have gotten
away from most Of our curves, for the
line Is the mode nowadays, and it is the
head line seen in the bob which is i'm
portant.
A Greek goddess like Venus or Diana
looked different from a French or Eng
lish queen, If we may judge by their
pictures. and it's the Grecian type that
We are initiating today. This means
that there must be form as well as
face, the. whole head and not merely
eyes ana lips.
A woman who is bobbed may look
strange for while, but she doesn't
have that top-heavy appearance of the
dame of olden days. She has a chance
to show what sort of woman she is, for
handsome is that handsome hobs.
The bobbed head has the power to
suggest that a woman intends to use
her head and not merely wear it for
adOrnment Goodness knows it's nec-
essary to do that in holding job or a
husband these days, to say nothing of
getting these
When a girl has trim locks under
her closely fitting cap and isn't all
decked out like an arbor of trailing ar
butus she's bound to give the impress
sion that she has something under
that hat something more than hair.
Artistic bobbing will bring out the
idea that girl has something more on
her mind than a switch and that she
has as many ideas as her mother had
puffs.

DIET AND HEALTH
BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. d.

This unequal distribution Of fat both
ers a great many. The only thing to
do, besides general reduction, is to take
special exercises and massage for those
parts. Good exercises for the hips are
rolling and kicking and brisk walking
with long strides. You have to keep
them up for a long time before you
begin to see results. I told you of
woman friend of mine who was overfat
only around the hips. She took the
kicking exercises - kicking back and
forth and sideways-twice day, in re-
lays of 100, and in three months she
had kicked of three inches. She. found
that the exercise improved her health.
She did not need to diet.
Rolling Is a splendid exercise. You
can do this without becoming dizzy II
you don't keep rolling over and over.
Simply lie on your back and roll over
until you are on your back again; then
go back. In this way you automatically
compress and massage your hips and
abdomen. Our exercises for the trunk
muscles will be effective. The trunk
muscles are the most neglected muscles
in the body, and they should be exer-
cised vigorously every day because they
are so vital.
Swimming is very good.

prompted.
"My second purpose in coming to
you," said Don Candida, "is for you
to give Thomas some good advice on
how to be famous"
"You are right" I said, land I shall
do 1t. First, the best way to become

aristocracy. If you follow this advice

he is a wise man, for he says moth

you wish and the public will swallow
it whole.
But if you have no desire for fame
and wish short road to publicity, you
must do something quite different.
Steep yourself in the works of comic
writer's. Get new comedy from Paris
every week. Worm yourself into the
newspaper columns. Write everything
as it should be, and make it out that
ali people are saints. Make arrange
| fnentS with some publisher to do trans

lance. Even If they are badly trans
lated it won't matter, for no one will
understand them anyway. That is
! the best advice know how to give
you, Don Thomas"
Don Candida fell into my arms at
this juncture. He took Thomas by the
hand, saying:
"see, my son, how wisely this man
speaks. Give thanks to him as your
protector and guide. You need know
no more than you know already-it is

Its Flavor-Its Delightful

WINTERTIME
BY ID. G. PEATTIE.

No sooner had I seen the report in
the paper that this Winter would be-
gin the procession of the Leonids, than
I saw from my bed at night two of
them in quick succession flash through
the sky. Last night saw four more.
would have seen the stars, anyway, but
the newspaper report made me appre-
ciate that these were no ordinary shoot
ing stars.
The Leonids, In case you may not
remember it, are a thick swarm of
meteorS, very dense at the middle of
the procession, trailing off imperceptibly
at the ends, which is travelling around
the sun, even as you and !, but in an
extremely long ellipse. Ever so often
the orbit Of our earth passes through
the orbit of the meteors, and when any
of them strike our atmospheric enve-
lope the friction of their gases with
our atmospheric gases sets them on
fire. AS soon as they pass out of our
atmosphere the conflagration subsidies,
and the falling star" has vanished
Actually, of course, these are not
falling, unless the earth is falling, but
merely travelling on their way, like the
earth. Also. they are not stars, the
correct definition of star being sum-
And lastly, it is dreadful error to
think that meteors are the same as
meteorites. I am no astronomer, so I
dare not express the precise difference
between them, but this practical differ
ence know-that the meteors, such as
Leonids, do not fall to earth, and van
ish almost instantly, while meteorite.
If you are ever so lucky as to see one,
falls to earth, being heavy enough to
feel the earth's gravitational pull, and
is seen as blazing ball of fire that
falls for many minutes. Also the
meteoriteS are cratic and unpredict-
able and rare, whilst the meteors travel
in known orbits, are rather common,
and can be predicted in a general way
in advance.
Thus it is known that the Leonids
will reach their height-that is, their
greatest frequency in our skieS-in 1884,
but they are already beginning. They
are beyond all doubt the most numer-
Gus of the swarnls of meteors, of which
there are several tribes or swarmS. Also,
If am not mistaken, they have the
longest orbit. and hence we see them
less frequently Their arrival from the
outer space into our ken Is to me
never-ending source of amazement.

Simpl" finished of at neck and arm
holes, feather-stitched or hemmed round
the edge and then adorned with shoul-
der bows and ends of ribbons. Some
times there is just one such ribbon
ornament, but more demure effect is
obtained by two.
Get enough two-inch ribbon to make
two ends from shoulders nearly to the
knees and enough more for two little
bow ends. Cut the ribbon in two and
tie the pieces into bows-So that the
little three-inch loops are two or three
inches from the center. This will leave
two ends or Streamers Of uneven length
that will hang down the front of the
little frock when the loops are attached
to the frock at the shoulders.
Sometimes quite narrow ribbon Is ar
ranged into Strearners containing six or
eight lengths of ribbon. A tiny roSette
of the ribbon Is placed where the
strands are joined and these tasSels Of
ribbon may be attached at the shoulder;
or four smaller ones, extending little
below the hips, may be attached to the
yoke of the frock few inches from the
