can, to be sure, put all break,
able things out of reach. To a
lot of mothers that is a short
route to peace and quiet wnen
the fodder begins to explore.
Anne'S mother declared she
would not disarrange her whole
house just because there was
now a small member of the fam
lily living there. And she didn't.
The mother had a lovely vase
which stood on a low end-table
in the living room and little
Anne loved 1t. 1t was so fat
and shiny and pretty. AS soon
as she had her breakfast in the
morning she would toddle in and
put her small fat hands around
the big thing.
Pretty-pretty," she informed
the mother. To many mothers
this would have bean the inev-
liable clue for mo, no. Don't
touch" But Anne's mother
knelt down beside her and
lifted the vase very slowly and
carefully, saying: Eyes, it is a
pretty vase. See, mother holds
it very tight, and puts it back
gently" She set the vase
back and of course Anne i'm
mediately initiated her. Hold
tightly to it," advised the
mother, and, struggling, Anne
lifted it a few inches. "Set it
down very gently" went on
the mother, and Anne did.
Many times during a day
Anne would trot to her mother
and say, Anne pick up vase,
set down very-gently-," and
the mother would reply. That's
fine. We have to be very care
full with it. It is so pretty"
Time? Oh yes, hours of time
were spent on this one lesson;
but yesterday the two came to
call on me. Anne went like a
streak toward a porcelain dog.
Gently. like the vase" re-
minded the mother, and then
turned to me and we went on
talking, while Anne very care
fully picked up the dog and set

sent lacy cards to the children they love- children

SLOW BUT SURE
BEATS ERRATIC
QUICKNESS
BY Lucy Lowell
T SUPPOSE it is the wish Of

7 SUPPOSE 1t Is the wish Of
= all of us to appear quick.
There is something enchanting
in quiekness; something fasci-
mating about the mind which
grasps any given theory easily
and accurately and about the
body which performs a task ex-
pertly and without unnecessary
motion.
The man who nurses a wish
to be efficient above the ordi-
nary degree Of efficiency win
strive for quickness. He will
consider ways of eliminating
from his thought and actions
those non-esSentials which slow
his efforts and he will work for
the perfection of routine which
makes for speed.
The danger Of all this, how
ever, is that he is rather more
than likely to become a super
ficial-to form the habit Of Gid
ing over the surface of his du-
ties.
Everyone must be willing to
be slow before it is possible to
be efficiently quick. One must
master the fundamentals Of
craft with such painful, thor
oughgoing care that they are
as familiar as the tips Of ones
own fingers before one can hope
to make them save time and Ia
bor by speed.
And even then quickness does
not always consist Of rapid
movement; sometimes the bril-
liant facility which SemeS to be
quickneSs is only certainty.
I am reminded Of a student
who attempted after two or
three lessons in French to speak
that language with the rapidity
which seemed to characterize
the speech Of the instructor.
That person, a wise little
woman from Marseilles, inn
mediately called the student to
halt. IT have spoken French all
my life" said she. And I
doubt if I could speak it that
fast" She then repeated the
phrase and so made it plain that
she did not speak quickly at all
but with sureness which made
her words seem to race.
Do not be afraid to take your
time. QuicknesS is a result,
never an end in itself.
