Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Experience teaches most of what we
can and cannot do with impunity. 1t
teaches children the same lessons. When
parent constantly assumes response
bility for getting child to school on
time she can keep it up forever. Hurry,
hurry!" she implores him. "You only
have ten minutes more" She follows
him to the door, helps him find his coat,
runs for the book he has forgotten,
pushes a clean handkerchief into his
hand, and breatheS a sigh of relief when
he is finally out of the door and headed
tor school. Her child depends upon
himself as soon as he is out of her sight.
Why should she be his prop and alarm
clock at home?
The following is a case in point:
What would you advise me to do TO
help child of who has a habit of
tardiness?" writes Mrs. D. D. B. What
books could give him to correct this
habit?"
have feeling that this question is a
somewhat ambiguous statement and that
the child's real trouble is general dila-
toriness and not Hardness" which gives
the impression only of being late to
school. But I am answering the ques-
ton as asked.
At years the child can and should
be able to tell time. There should be a
convenient clock and the child wakened
in plenty of time to get through his
dressing and breakfast and get to school
on time. Clothes should be laid out the
night before. The bath can be taken at
night, so as to make the morning wash
ing short ceremony. The breakfast
should be prompt. Other than this the
mother should refuse to assume any re-
sponsibility. If the child is late, let him
take his medicine. The teacher may be
warned that the mother Is going to let
the child manage his own time. The
pupils openly expressed chagrin that he
has spoiled the class record and the
teachers disapproval should be sufi-
Gent to spur him to promptness.
There is sometimes larger signif1-
canoe to hardness. 1t may be due to
fatigue from too late bed hours. 1t may
be the result of physical handicaps
which make the child lazy, dull and dis
interested in his school work. The re-
luctance to face another day at school
may slow his fingers so that he dreams
over his dressing, putting of the evil
and unhappy moment when he has to
go to school.
know of no particular book dealing
with the subject Of hardness, though
you may have my list containing sug-
gestions for books for children of all
ages. All good books for children offer
helpful suggestions in subtle forms for
the right kind of living, and promptness
Is one of the minor but no less desirable
virtues toward which a child should
aspire. We have also list of reference
books on parental education which
mothers should own and read frequently.
Sometimes the nuggets Of wisdom and
advice in such books are not appreciated
or even noted until the need for advice
on some specific subject arrives. A self
addressed, stamped envelope inclosed
with your request will bring one or both
of these leaflets. Address communica-
tons to Myrtle Meyer Eldred, in care of
the Your Baby and Mine" department
of this newspaper.

Judged by Taste in Handkerchief
By MARY MARSHALL.

haste, that may give false impress
sion, but the woman who Is faStidiouS
in small matters dislikes to carry O
handkerchief Of this sort as much as
she dislikes to wear badly made, badly
fitting, clumsy lingerie.
Even women of good taste differ enor-
mously in the sort of handkerchiefs
they select. Some ultra-conserVauve
individuals select only those OF f1ne,
pure white linen, plain or with very
fine embroidery Other women choose
fine linen handkerchiefs with a touch
of color to match or harmonic with
the dress with which the handker-
chief is to be carried. Some women
consider the occasion carefully before
selecting q handkerchief. For sports
they choose rather loud sports hand
kerchiefs. They choose small, fne
linen squares to put in their purse when
For afternoon the choice may be q
still finer linen or an inconspicuouS
chiffon handkerchief, and for evening
a handkerchief that is chosen specially
to go with the dress, matching the jew
elry or the dress in color.
The sketch shows a number Of the
new handkerchiefS and a little hand
kerchief case that you may make TO
hold them. You will need two pieces
of colored satin or silk crepe about q
half yard long and or 8 inches wide
Between the two pieces of silk put cot
ton sheet wadding to make soft pad,
and sew up at the edges so that when
folded over you have fiat case for the
handkerchiefs. You can make the case
so that when folded it is square or OBJ
long. Finish the upper side OF the
folded case as shown in the sketch. To
do this cut a small square of silk OF
contrasting color, turn in the edges and
apply by means of French knots and
make little fes;oons with embroidery
and French knots at the four corners
Of the square. Put a snapper on the
edges of the case where they meet when
the case is folded. If you like, you may
put some of your favorite sachet in the
padding, or you may lay small pad
of cotton moistened with few drops OF
your favorite perfume inside the pad.

woman in the reception room while he
assembled, with easy familiarity, to the
Presidents private quarters. The gen.
eral was having comfortable afternoon
to himself. He was in an old dressing
gown and smoking q corn-cob pipe as
full wood fire. His hair was rumpled, his
face rough with beard.
Mr.. Buchanan involuntarily compared
this startling figure to himself. His
bachelorhood had never deadened his
desire to make himself pleasing in the
eyes of ladies. He was addicted to spot
less cravats and tremendous expanSe Of
snowy collars and complacent always
over the fact that his large stature was
supported upon well shaped, small feet.
"Oh, MIR. President" he said, 81 have
taken the privilege Of bringing o lady
friend to meet YOU Can you come
DOWN."
I'D be very glad to-" said the gen.
eral, the most gallant man Of his day.
disturbing thought struck Mr.. Bu-
chanan. Was 1t possible that the Presi-
dent might descend just as he was? He
decided he had better make sure.
II presume, Mr.. President" he said,
you will change your attire"
Gen. Jackson paused in the act Of
knocking the ashes from his pipe. For
a moment his eyes glinted fire. This
Northerner dared to instruct in manners
man who had been admired in the
most exclusive drawing rooms Of New
Orleans Creole aristocracyI But he con-
trolled himself. He said evenly:
Buchanan, want to give you q little
piece Of advice which hope you will
remember.A I knew a man once who
made his fortune by attending to his
own business. Tell the lady I will see
her presently
Buchanan went downstairs, red and
Inundated. Soon after came the Presi-
dent. He was dressed in a full suit Of
black, clearly shaved and with his
stubborn white hair neatly pompadoured
above his remarkable face. He bowed
to the beautiful Britisher with courtly
grace and engaged her in conversation.
She told Mr.. Buchanan as they went
away: "Oh, but Gen. Jackson Is no
backwoodsman. He has the manner Of
royalty"
