While renting new homes, this year.
housewives have evidently pondered
good deal over the desirablity OF long
leases and short leases. We have had
evidence OF such pondering in our daily
correspondence. Todays column Is
sort Of collective answer.
The short leases advantages are thai
1t permits one to move readily ana
without carrying with one any obliga-
tions from her former place of residence.
y assures one of protection against
either neighborhood changes, reductions
IN rent or controversies over redecora-
ton or renovation.
Young couples whose residential needs
may require f1exibility In some measure
often prefer short leases because they
enable them to rent according to their
needs from year to year. Family IN
creaSes naturally result In increasing
Spatial requirements.
Those who are only transientS IN O
city, or who contemplate moving In the
future TO other parts, prefer short leases.
Families living on highly fluctuattng
incomes favor short leases, because their
yearly obligations may be kept In pro-
portion TO their incomes.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Children are little copies of those
about them, often very accurate and
disturbing copies. The child who
shrieks at her naughty doll and pounds
1t with a stick, has been shrieked at
and Padded. The voices of children
and their parents are wonderfully
alike, even in their subtle infections.
"Oh, my dear Mrs Howell" says
the young hopeful with. exaggerated
hospitality, do come in and sit down.
have only very plain lunch this
noon, but shall be so happy to have
you join me-"
Or likewise to her small brother
PUT that picture book down. this very
instant minute. How dare you touch
my things, you naughty, naughty
boyl"
Parents are inclined to wonder audi
bly,, Nov where did that child hear
that?" And they may add aloud. You
oughtnt to talk that way to your sweet
little brother" But their wonderment
arises only because they do not listen
to themselves. They are not Self-con-
scious about their voices or words and
do not realize how they impress the
child. When a like occa sion crops up
the child gives a perfect imitation Of
them which Is both confounding and
embarrassing.
Mothers are sometimes unaware that
their hands are rough and heavy on
the child. They jerk of clothes and
pull at shoes and stockings. They
dump the child in the tub, despite his
indignant yells. Then they wonder why
the child is so rough with other chill
dren and apparently unmoved by suf-
fering. The child acts as he has seen
his elders act. 1t is important to look
upon ourselves critically and honestly
admit If we are desirable models for
our children to copy. It may be pos
sible that 1t is the parents, and not
the children, who need discipline.
We have q little leaf1et, called
Discipline for Parents" which any
parent may have for only self-ad-
dressed. stamped envelope and re-
quest for it.
Some parents never grow up They
constantly react TO situations as would

no idea how sharp his little teeth can
be, bites into his mothers arm. this
childish parent says: You would bite
me, would you?" and bites him in
return.
If the baby slaps-and, at q certain
age, most babies do-she yells at him
and slaps him even harder. In neither
case is the baby learning that shaping
and biting are undesirable social con-
duct. How can he get such an idea
If his mother does 1t, too?
The more ideal our own conduct the
less mistakes the child will make In
following our lead. limitations can be
humiliating, or the sincerest fattery.

Some housewives have remarked their

Leases are a particular rather than q

Sealing Wax as Aid in Mending
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

One Of the tasks that falls to every
homemaker Is the minor mending Of
household articles. Much ingenuity
has been expended in emergency mend
ing, Of which there is q great deal in a
home. Few women have the correct
tools and materials for work. They are
expected to be successful with absolutely
inadequate equipments. No man would
believe 1t possible to accomplish what
she does, unless fitted out with the
proper implements.
There Is q certain amount of COM
mendable daring in what these home
makers attempt, and 1t is no wonder

An antique lamp was successfully
mended with sealing wax in the manner

was soldered. 1t was not cheap but an
expert job. When another lamp had a
similar hole in it, the homemaker de-
cided to try sealing wax using 1t as de-
scribed above This old brass lamp was
needed for immediate use and fortu-
nately the idea of sealing wax mending
came to mind. In few moments the

the solder. Gold wax was chosen and
on the brass it showed very little.
