Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

We find a mother sometimes using
the attitude toward a child, Now you're
going to do as l say, or I'll know the
reason why. I'm the boss" We need
hear no more to know that conflict
RACES hot and heavy in that houehsold
over every trif1e. Naturally we do not
believe that a baby should dictate to
his parent. There is always that peace
full and successful middle path which
gets done what must be done and yet
prevents the baby's feeling that he is
being hauled, mauled, pushed and
pounded into situations and actions
toward which he is at the moment
antagoniStic.
The simple process of bathing baby
which takes half hour or more daily
can be a period of stress or happy one
One mother was wise enough to try
new ways of bathing when she found
the one she had adopted was causing
daily storm. Her description of the
baby's delight at bath time demonstrates
that 1t is much easier to handle a
happy baby than one who Stiffens like
a board and fills the air with indignant
screams. This is the tale of Mrs
w. H. S.:
Il am a daily reader of your depart
ment and find your advice very good.
Perhaps you would like to hear how
old baby from kicking and screaming in
her bath so that now she laughs de-
lightedly when she sees the tub being
filed.
II found out rather early that she
preferred being bathed on my lap in
preference to the table. Also that she
liked lying on her stomach for as much
of the ceremony as possible. But bath
ing was no longer a bugaboo after l
found that she would not cry at all If
I would support her in my arms in
almost a sitting position when it was
impossible for her to lie on her tummy
She is very strong and wanted to sit
UP at three months and held her head
up at two weeks. At little past two
months / tried to battle her in her
tub but / had to stop it for a while.
l wanted her to forget it, When I did
try again, put her rattle in the water
and, using the above tactics, made bath
time delightful.
Now she wants me to scoot her back
and forth in the water, laughs when !
drench her. and almost leaps off my
lap in her effort to get in when she
sees the tub. Don't you think she is
pretty good?"
We have room for a suggestion that
sounds interesting. Mrs. J. F. A. says
that she has found it helpful in teach
ing her children to feed themselves to
hold a clean saucer under their chins
to catch spilled food or drink. There
is no waste or muss, and because of this
the mother is more patient with the
child's awkward efforts. AS both of her
babies were competent cup drinkers at
nine months, the method is worth
trying.

Peter Rabbit.
Starnose the Mole was burrowing into
the soft earth almost at Peter Rabbits
feet Peter has always thought himself
fairly good digger. although he doesn't
dig very often However, after he had
watched Starnose disappear, Peter be-
gan to think he didn't know anything
about digging.
My goodness, look at that fellow
lieyed that any one could disappear in
the earth, where there was no hole. at

If Starnose actually swims through the
ground. Did you notice how he swept
the earth back; first on one side and
then on the other, with his big front
feet?"

but 1 did notice something else just
as he disappeared"
What was that?" asked Redwing.

Hopeless Dressmaker.

Not more than seven months ago we
received word from a reader that she
was without hope. Her vocation, dress
making, had simply ceased TO pay. No
body used dressmakers, she complained,
and after a lifetime devoted to the art
o. seamstressing she was without a
means of livelihood. Could We suggest
some way in which she might exc out
q living TO the end Of her days? Moth
Ing was too humble, she assured us.
Somehow We could not share her pes
simism. AS long as women buy. wear
and alter clothes dressmakers will find
profitable work 10 do. Only they must
needs look for il more aSsiduously now
than before.
We made a few suggestions to the
"hopeless" dressmaker. Among them
were that she start a school for young
girls who were interested in learning
