OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI.

1t was this other person who led US
the wrong way, who got in our way
who did us an Ill turn. You see, we
say the truth even then, for If we had
been as strong and as wise as we like
to say we are, We would not have al
lowed anybody to get in our way.
Grudging is just a way we have OF
cheating ourselves out of happiness. II
happens because we do not understand
that spirit is real. That what we
think Is at the bottom of all that we
do, all that we are. We are so anxious
to be flne and big and have the good
word OF the world that we forget that
the power lies in our own minds, In
our thinking.
Then away with grudging Forget
the unpleasant things and direct your
thought to the job of growing up strong
In spirit, strong in action, strongest
Of all in love. For love of friend and
neighbor, love Of the world. is what
saves us all.

Collections are Of interest in homes
as we'll as in museums. They lend grace
and beauty to home when they consist
of furniture. ceramics, pictures, prints,
brasses, glass, etc., and anything that
comes under the items Of house fur
nishing. 1t is we'll for the home maker
to remember this, for she can make her
house a center of att C. II through
some collection and herself more enter
tanning by her knowledge of the things
and the subjects that touch upon them
which are not directly about the objects
themselves.
One Of the charms of collecting is
the whole new realm of interest that 1t
awakens. This is the personal eleme It
that cannot be divorced from whatever
is included in a collection. Without
any intention to acquire knowledge, the
impulse to know about each new piece
that is added - '""llv makes the coll
lector absorb knowledge, and this knowl-
edge is full of sidelights on subjects
other than the thing itself, as was
suggested before.

early the next morning he left his
bed and made his way to the hidden
entrance of his home. The light of
early morning was making all the
Great World glad. However, 1t didn't
make Impy glad. He, who used to
think the Great World was such a
bright and beautiful place, had de-
cided that the Great World was a dull
and gloomy place and that for him
there was no happiness in it.

pots, lend decoration and beauty to her
dil4in1 room.
To indicate what opportunities pre-
sent themselves to those who delight
in collecting oldfashioned things of
decorative value in house, may cite
what found recently In secondhand
shop. For the sum of $1.05 I bought
a genuine Minton lavatory set of wash
bowl, pitcher, small pitcher (for hot
water or drinking water), and a tooth
brush holder-a tall one shaped like a
vase. The 5 cents went for the small
pitcher found afterward, which was not
included because 1t had a little chip
from the spout. But I thought it was
worth cents, especially as it was small
enough to be mended by an expert
without much cost. The color is the
choice Minton blue in landscape pat
tern on a white ground. The orna-
mental value of this set in a room fur
nished with spool bed and other an
tiques is Immediately appreciated on
coming into the room in which blue
enters into the scheme.

After Nancy's shopping trips she
came home full of new ideas. But when
she sat herself down to work them out,
she discovered she was dead tired.
Everything looked like too great bur-
den.
One evening she sat at her desk to
catch up on correspondence. But she
was not in the mood for letter writing.
Peter was reading in the big chair.
Casually he turned to ask Nancy q

Find the Market.

Some months ago q family living In
the South decided to move up North.
1t found that the cost Of moving its
belongings would be prohibitive. Ac-
cordingly. 1t was deemed best to dis
pose of the stuff at home and refurnish
anew when new home place had been
settled upon.
The furniture and furnishings had
been in the family for generations, and
although it was vaguely remembered
that the furniture was regarded as
antique" nobody thought Of capital
izing on 1t.
AS a.result an ad was inserted In the
local newspaper. Among those TO re-
spond was man whose accent was
strongly Northern. He mentioned he
had heard of the sale, and because he
was thinking of locating In town he
thought he'd pick up some things.
He seemed to have q substantial
household of his own, because he
bought up all the old things. and
seemed to be interested, strangely
enough, only in the old things.
To abbreviate the story, the family
sold for little more than $500 Colonial

Grudging.

To the Boys and Girls
Whatever you try to do is made or
marred by the spirit in which you do
it. Please understand that this spirit
Is very real 1t is not something far
away to be thought of only in church,
or in the confirmation classes. 1t is
very real part OF you. Just as real as
your brain, and more so in the last
count 1t must be considered and it
must be cultivated by use.
Boys and girls have to live Just as
grown-up people have to live, day by
day. There are unpleasant things that
we must meet. People do not always
please us. They do things that are un-
fair, that are mean, that are wrong
from our standpoint. Everybody knows
that. What OF 1t? How important are
the unpleasant things OF everyday to
you?
They should be passed over as lightly
as possible. Spend no time in scolding
about them. Waste no energy in
threatening what you will do in the
days to come. Your business is with
yourself. You have to do your own
work, make your own friends, live your
own life. That is going to take every
ounce of energy you have, so waste none
III can help.
When you stop to storm and scold
about bad break" or piece Of
rotten luck" or "that mean old cat"
you cheat yourself. Thoughts that have
the flavor of grudging are poison to
your spirit. The more you harbor them
and give expression to them, the strong
er they become and the more harm
they do you. They will not trouble the
other person much; not half as much
as they trouble you. Would you bite
of your own nose? Then understand
that grudging costs too much for you
to indulge in it for q minute.
And I'll tell you secret about grudg-
ing Most of IL is our own weakness
trying TO dress up in the armor of
strength. When we make a mistake we
hate to own it. We look about to find
some one or some thing on which to lay
the shame of the failure. We tell our
selves and our friends that we could
never have done 30 stupid thing. That

My Neighbor Says:

Seasoning added to the water
in which a ham is being boiled
helps to give a delicious, savory
meat. The amounts can be va
ried to suit the taste, but the
following kinds and proportions
are satisfactory for one ham:
Two carrots, diced; one small
onion stuck with several cloves,
a stalk or two of celery, diced;
one sprig Of parsley and q few
pepper cornS.
If apples or tomatoes are
pricked with a fork before bak-
ing they will not break while
cooking.
When you are cleaning a room,
make some powdered whitening
into thin paste with cold water
and smear this mixture over the
panes with a piece of rag. When
dry lightly rub off and polish
the glass with clean busters. The
window is thus cleaned easily
and quickly.
