Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

What parents expect of their chill
dren often appallS us. 1t is so natural
for them to say, ''Now be quiet" and
then become annoyed to the point of
chaStiSement when the child can't
carry out the command.
Unless sick or asleep, children can
not be Quiet-really motionless-for
much more than two or three minutes
at a time. They jump from one game
to another, piling blocks at one mo-
ment, pouring sand through sieve at
the next, and rushing down the street
with their wagons piled high with junk
at another.
The concentration on any one ac-
tivity which their mothers desire Is
impossible before school days, and
sometimes after that. The wrigglings and
scufflings of feet that one hears in
every school room are the childrens
means of getting the inactivity out of
their legs. The wise teacher changes
occupations and positions when it be-
comes pronounced.
Parents who understand children
know that it is nothing short of cruelty
to take small child to church and
expect him to sit still through the
droning sermon, not one word of which
Is Ineligible to him: or to q movie
since every word Of the actors must be
audible; to put a child in any penned-
up place and say, Nov play and be O
good girl" unaware that to be good in
any restricted place is as impossible
for her as to grow wings and fly.
A mother who reads this column
sent in the following episode, illustra-
tive of what children are punished for
by thoughtless parents:
"You are such a friend of children.
Mrs. Eldred, that I wondered what you
would think of the following.
my husband and I drove out to the
golf links and I sat there III the car
while he played. A man and his wife
drove up with two small children, the
boy about 3, the girl somewhat older.
The father and mother took their golf
sticks and went out on the links, leaV-
ing the children to play in the car.
1t takes O long time to play game of
golf (this would have hung heavily on
my hands had not been supplied with
plenty of reading materially, and finally
the. small boy climbed out of the auto
mobile and played about as any normal
child would.
when the mother came back she
was furious and she hit his bare legs
with stick and took him in the car
and spanked him hard. She also said
to him, When your father gets you
home he's going to spank you. too
Now how could children of this age
sit still all during the afternoon, and
why be punished because they couldn't
and didn't?"
There is no answer to that question.
Parents who understand children and
their capabilities couldn't do 1t, for
they would never set an impossible
through. Sitting still is one thing
which no adult has q right to expect
of q young child. Moving about Is as
necessary as breathing.

MY FRIEND" HE SAID CORONATION
BY ]. p. GLASS,

The premonitions Of disaster that
seized Henry w Of France 81 he pre-
pared for the coronation Of his wife,
Marie de Medici, may have been, and
could have been, due to observation OF
human circumstances.
For instance, assassinations OF mon
archs were frequent III that perio and
indeed Henry already had been the sub
ject Of q murderouS attempt.
AobVe all, he was quitting France
temporarily, 1t is true-and in his alb
sence he was leaving Marie de Medici,
an Italian, in charge. He had joined
the coalition of nations which hoped to
put an end to the ascendancy of the
House of Austria in Europe. Before him
lay the dazzling prospect of extending
the territory Of France to the banks Of
the Rhine. Nevertheless, amid all this
projection Of glory his heart must have
filled with n1isgiving at the thought OF
surrendeTing any Of his SOW reignty over
his beloved France-the France which
he had recovered from her enemies and
had set up - Q great and powerful
state.
He made Marie regent, but he 20 re-
stricted her powers that she was much
dissatisfied, hence his propitiary move
to crown her Queen Of France. He
thought that the pomp and ceremony
Of such an event would appeaSe her
pride and vanity.
It was now that his presentiments Of
evil developed in full force. Who shall
say that in addition to the natural
causes already named the King of
France was not affected by O vague
clairvoyant knowledge of the designs
being formulated against him? It Is
true that his death was planned even
as he set afoot the program which
would bestow . crown upon Marie de
Medici and signalize his departure for
the wars.
The evidence Of Henry's fears of dis
aSter Is too authoritative to be doubted.
We have testimony Of 1t from Sully,
from 'Estoile and from Bassompierre.
ut Is only too certain" wrote Sully,
his great minister, in his MEMORIES,
that Henry " had presentiment Of
his cruel destiny. The more closely he
saw the moment Of the coronation ap-
preaching the more he felt fright and
horror redouble in his heart. He would
come and unfold 1t al to me in that
state OF bitterness and dependency for
which I used to blame him as for an
objectionable weakness. His own words
will make quite q different impression
from anything that could say:
"'Ah, my friend he said, how this
coronation displeases mel do not
know what it Is. but my heart tells me
that some misfortune will come to me-
HE would sit down as he said these
words and give himself up to all the
blackness of his thoughts, tapping his
fingers on the case Of his spectacles and
musing profoundly"
On friday, May II, 1910, Henry heard
mass at the Church of the Feuillants
Monastery and then returned to the
Louvre for dinner. The elimination Of
his forebodings was at hand.

THE CORN BELT

Much toll is needed If we'd raise q
bumper crop Of golden maize. Through
long, long days the farmer plants, as
sisted by his wife and aunts; he has to
leave his couch at dawn and work and
work till day Is gone. And when the
small green plants arrive 1t takes more
work to make them thrive. The Guilt
vator has to go day after day along the
row, and this is toll that makes one
feel too tired at night to eat O meal
The young corn must be coaxed along
till it is vigorous and strong, and AL
this calls for ceaseleSs toll, for endless
stirring of the soil. The farmer wears
hopeful grin; he thinks his toll this
year will win; the corn is looking bright
and green, q better show was never
seen; and so the farmer dreams a
dream as he plugs on behind his team.
He can endure the work and sweat
this year will see him out of debt. He'll
have package, large and fine, of rubles
to put down in brine. He looks across
his bright green field, and he forecasts
bumper yield. But, 10! the sun begins
to break all records and the cornfields
bake. The hot winds blow up from the
South as from an ovens red-hot mouth;
j. Pluvius, the poor old sap, forgets
about the water tap; the heat increases
day by day, the corn is turning brown
and gray. The days of toll that so ex-
haust. the tireless efforts, all are lost:
the golden dream has lost its place and
ruin stares him in the face, and so we
hear the farmer weep, his misery is
broad and deep. Talk not of grief, nor
feel forlorn, till you have grown field
of corn, and seen it shrivel in u day,
with all your labor thrown away.

MOTHERS
To Make PLAY Money.
AND THEIR CHILDREN.

Dave saves the silver and gilt paper
which comes around chocolate bars
candy and cigars to use In making play
money. For the foundation of gold and
silver money he traces around coins Of
different denominations which have
been laid on stiff cardboard, then cuts
out the various circlec and covers them
smoothly with the gold or silver paper.
A good way to do this Is to cut circles
from the silver paper somewhat larger
than the cardboard circle that is to be
covered. Lay the cardboard circle in
the center of the silver circle and turn
the edges over, pressing them down

kindergarten Children
Social.Minded
By FLORENCE La GANKR.

Joan started to kindergarten with
great hopes. She had been at nurs-
cry school all the preceding Winter
and had learned more lessons than
she realized.
Starting in kindergarten with her
was a new little girl, Polly, an only
child who had indulgent parents.
On the way to kindergarten Joan
started to tell her about the good times
they would have.
I'VE tell stories, and sing and make
things with beads and clay. And some
times teacher lets us play with q great
big doll"
Polly spoke up: ct want to play with
the doll. I like dolls. At home have
seven dolls. Mother buys me nicer
dolls than any one else has"
Had o kindergarten been there she
would have known that trouble was
ahead.
Polly was Q selfish child-of course,
most children are-but she boasted and
Dragged and had no conception Of COM
munity play.
Perhaps it was the cunning dark
blue cotton dress with blue socks to
match and white collar and cuffs that
made Anthony choose Joan as his part

work and poke any tip ends into the
tubing to make them invisible
The idea of this corded quilting may
be to supply a heavy corded effect to
the stitchery, or 1t may be to combine
this effect with color work. The latter
Is the vogue today. A sheer textile is
used for he foundation, which may be
white or some delicate tint. Unless the
worsted run through the tubing is bril-
liant, 1t does not show enough to &C.
cent the outline. Yellow has the pres
tige of antiquity in this quilting, and
is excellent to us today. However, any
color that conforms to the decorative
scheme OF q room in which q pillow 80
quilted Is to go, or any color preferred
Tor bag can be correctly employed.
II tinted textile is used, 1t must be re-
membered that its tone, though faint,
will influence the hue Of the worsted
run under it.
The trailing vine" quilting pattern
is as well adapted to corded quilting as
to plain. For a bold outline run the
second line of stitchery outside the
lines of the design as given. For small
articles requiring delicate work run the
second line inside the pattern outline.

He had almost been assasinated on
his way back from mass. Francois
Ravaillac, o legal agent, in his middle
thirties, had followed him to church,
gT1pped by mystical Authorizations.
This man had designed to stab the King
as he drove into the Louvre, but he
had to give up his attempt, as the Due
d'Epernon occupied the side Of the
coach where Henry usually sat.
He waited to see If, the King would
come out after dinner. This Henry
did, intending to drive to the arsenal to
visit Sully, who was sick. AS his coach
slowly turned out of the Rue st. Honore
into the narrow Rue de Ia Ferronndere
Ravaillac spring out and through the
unglaZed window stabbed Henry zee.

The gentlemen attending him had the
carriage turned and with all possible
