Tnfidelity forms a sufficient basis for
divesting a wife of joint interest In the
home purchased by the husband but
placed in both their names, according

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELpREp.

The use of both spoon and cup by
baby himself, in a manner to success
| fully convey food to his mouth, is not
accomplished at any certain day or age.
The legitimate use of both of these ar
/ ticles begins when baby can first sit
up, and his early introduction to these
useful utensils should be as playthings.
All babies bang spoons on their feeding
trays, and tiny cups are among the
f1rst toys. From familiar and unframed
use OF these to an imitation of the
mothers actions, is a step which is
! rapid II the mother is willing.
Baby can have his cereal and vege-
| tables by spoon from the fifth month
i on. He can dig his head into cup
and while only few trickleS reach his
tummy at first he can acquire more and
more liquid in this manner if the
| mother offers it to him consistently by
cup. II he is used to holding a spoon
IN MS hand while his mother is feeding
| him it won't be long before he is
prodding his cereal with 1t and making
an effort to lift spoonful to his mouth.
IheSe f1rst attempts are always so
| awkward and messy that the average
mother dlscourages them, preferring her
own, neat, competent spoonfulS that
reach their destination, instead of
babys, which leave his mouth incrusted
with cereal and sticky blobs on bib and
floor. But how is baby ever to learn
this delicate ceremony unless he prac-
tices 1t? One must shut ones eyes to
| the inevitable devastation with a view
TO the future joy of both when baby
| can feed himself
child fed by the mother is inevitably
| Indifferent to his food. Opening his
mouth automatically while food is
showed into it deprlves the infant of
all zest for eating He prefers his own
active efforts, even if half his food is
| lost in transit. 1t is by such efforts
that baby becomes independent of his
| mother, an independence which is nee
essary for his social development. One
can only pity the mother who feels it
her duty to sit by a child old enough
to feed himself and patiently wheedle
| spoonful after spoonful into his reluc-
tant mouth, interpreting each mouth
| full with a drink of milk. She is pa
| ttent, conscientious but very short
| sighted, for a baby's whole develop
ment depends on the mothers knowl-
| edge of when it is right and proper to
shift responsibilities from her shoulders
to his.
Even a 6-nnonth-old baby, if he can
| sit up, is capable of taking large por-
tons of his liquid by cup. BY the time
he is l year old bottles are entirely
| out of the picture. The old, old ex-
cuse that he won't take as much milk
| by cup as bottle can be used to indefi-
| nitely postpone his graduation from
infancy to childhood and retard his
mental and physical development in
every other particular If ne is given
a spoon and cup to play with from an
early age and despite his messy mis-
| takes is allowed to use them uSefully
! he will in remarkably short time be
| able to practice the art of feeding
happily and expertly all by himself.

1t does not follow that a practical
minded lady, one with an eye to the
main chance, may not make good
wife.
Catherine, daughter of poor Swedish
peasant named Magnus, caught King
for husband. She had a good deal to
do with the loss of his throne, but the
final chapter of their lives was record
of touching devotion.
Eric XIV of Sweden succeeded the
great Gustavus Vasa, who cast off the
rule of the Danish usurper, Christian
II, in 1921, and established the indie
pendence of his country. Eric, however,
had not the capacity of his great father.
His youth was spent in wild indul-
gences. Gustavus VaSa was an extraor-
dinarily good King, but as q parent
he was a complete failure.
The greatest ambitions were enter
tanned for Eric. 1t was hoped to marry
him to Queen Elizabeth of England,
and at another time he was a sutton
for the hand of Mary, Queen of Scots.
Both ladies declined union with him.
The Swedish Ministers went else
where looking for wife for Eric that
would strengthen their country's stand
ing in Europe. The story goes that
sometimes they had scouts out In two
courts at one time.
While the statesmen we're thus en-
ployed fate threw monkey wrench that
dislocated the entire proceedings Pass
ing through the market place in Stock
holm, Eric's eye was caught by the fresh
beauty of a girl in charge of a fruit and
nut stall. This was the lovely Cathe-
rine, daughter of Magnus, whose CO.

quettish glances quickly enthralled the
monarch.
Eric loved her so much he gave up
all idea of obtaining royal wife, cast
aside all other female companions and
made the peasant girl his Queen.
The Swedish people were not 30
charitable as to think Catherine guile
less. They believed her designing, and
limited darkly at some amorous love
philter she had used to bewitch Eric.
Eric's brothers and their families were
furious over the affair. This resulted
in the Kings determination to kill off
the whole group, little celebration
which he is said to have planned for
his wedding day. The malcontents
were warned, kept away from the we'd
ding, and not long afterward fomented
revolution. Eric was dethroned and
thrown into prison, where, after nine
years of solitary confinement, he was
poisoned.
His attachment to Catherine, which
had largely been the cause of his ruin,
continued undated. He wrote her from
his prison every day. and the letters
abound with passionate devotion.
His peasant wife was equally faith
full. Her conduct was so prudent that
Eric'S brothers gave her a considerable
pension and allowed her to retire with
her children to Finland, where she sur
vived her husband by many years.

Human beings are much alike. II

Human beings are much alike. They
are also very much unlike. These diff
ferences are summed up under the
name personality. The farther you
are from the average, the more pro-
nounced is your personality. You have
to use the science of mathematics In
order to determine the whats" or
quantities of your personality.
When you attempt to account for
"whys" instead of counting whats, +"
YOU can find all sorts of sciences, near
sciences and superstitions to conjure
with. We have space here for con-
sideration of only two supposed sources;
one an organized superstition, the other
an organized science.
Many people still consult the stars.
They assume, for no good reason at all,
that astrology is a science. For ex-
ample. they find it easy to believe that
Mars has a lot to do with fiery, brave
and bold temperaments. Astrology is
at best mere tumble of suggestions.
It explains nothing.
More recently the science of chem
istry has demanded a say on the ques-
ton of the why's of personality. For
example, it is argued that an excess of
calcium will account for those long
boned, silent introverts who think lot
and say nothing On that score Calvin
Coolidge qualities as calcium type"
Then again it is argued that an ex-
cess of potassium also creates a type,
best illustrated by such personality as
Jack Dempsey, the fighter. If to this

Assuming that the great Shakes

passed on the words spoken by Dave
nent to Betterton, the instructions
would have gone through the following
links in the mental chain: Thomas Bet

was Robert Wilks, born in 1870 and
died in 1882, % years after Bettertons
death. Succeeding Wilks the line might
have been as follows: Barton Booth
