YOUR CHILDREN
wNiIpRobezs6at1nz
I0io3IBY SfRVICE ZINC. [

|
 Nature has endowed men and wo- men with different temperaments, evidently with good intent, for every thing in nature has a reason. ,5 But this very difference makes the rearing of children difficult because the child and his problems are too likely to be source of friction be- tween mother and father. I.spppose we should look at 1t this way. that 1t is right there should bs difference of opinion, if the child is to have a balanced life.
 The father Is likely to look to character, the mother to health well fare. Not that mothers are not on the dui vive to develop all that is fine and good in character, but there Is no question that this urge is fre- quently overshadowed by anxiety for physical welfare and comfort.
 A father is prone to use sterner methods, and to try to bring out the iron in his 'children's character by firm handling, and to his wife's dis tress, little less coddling and sym pathy than she would prefer him to use.
 This is where we get the fine bal- ance of development, but 1t is Che source, too, of that unfortunate fric~ ton which has made too many din- ner tables scenes of distress. For no matter what the cause of difference of opinion between man and wife, 1t is quickly lost sight of in the per- sonal antagonism that too frequent- ly ensues.
 Pawns of Revenge As a matter of fact, when there Is strain and unfriendliness to be- gin with between parents, the chill dren are often used as a pretext to work out revenge on each other. and they will deliberately give conflicting orders to their boys and girls. to work out a deep-rooted spite. This is the most unhappy state of affairs that I know of in any home, for it is the children who suffer. However, conflict arising from an honest difference of ideas Is diff ferent matter: Probably there is hardly child who escapes that in some degree.
 What all men and women with children might do to help out a bad situation is for each to try to ret the others point of view as far as possible, for the wife to try to un- derstand that her husbands meth- ods, if not too extreme, are as nec- essary as hers, that they prepare the children for the stern knocks of life later on, better than her constant forgiving and betting.
 The husband should do the same for children's physical and tempera- ment makeup must be considered and he must not ride rough.shod over these sensitive spirits. Cooperation in such matters 1s usually necessary.

"What does sybiI Lester say 2" Corrinne asked the officer 10 whom she had been speaking.
 "She says that you used Bedding as an agent to take her riding in that cab, in order to have her Killed"
 "oh, what lie! But Bedding de- nies 1t, doesn't he?'
 "Sure. He swears that Miss Lester got him to go with her, and was going to blow him up unless he took back that statement. She had a gun and he admits that all of a sudden he went or his bean and wanted to kill her.
 Then you have the word of two of us against one, and yet you would believe the one ?v Corrinne asked. And they speak of justice. Of courts that defend the weak and oppressed!
 "I'ii wager anything that sybil had that cab spotted right along. She got that man to drive 1t from the sta ton that night and like as not hid in it. And she thought that she could pull some stunt and blame it on Sue or me because the cab would still be in our possession, supposedly. Only the plan didn't work. Look at
  against Sybiii And then you say we'- re trying to frame her. Frame her! When she has framed us all the time! Why don't you let the law in- stead of prejudice, be the controlling factor?"
 And again there was the splash of rain on the windows and the sound of the opening and closing of the To uv1A GttA rot tsNn nOk Grn sat down by Corrinne and Jack went out into the dark, wet night.
 "I wonder why Harry doesn't come," Sue said almost at once. Jack doesn't understand, either. We can't get him any place. At home, his club, his fathers. his of- flee. We've called them aIl."
 Corrinne listened eagerly. She didn't want Harry to be called. But she wanted him to come. Wanted him to come 50 badly that 1t seemed the very intensity of her longing must reach out to him., somewhere, anywhere, find him and draw him to her.
 Then she remembered that she hated him. It was easier when she could think that she hated him. And on top of that tumbled the thought that, she herself had sent him away. Made him think that she didn't care. A new torment swept through her. Griefs could be born, when they seemed arranged by 8 fate beyond control. But when your yourself, though not meaningly crushed the dream and could never explain =.
 She jumped up and her eyes were purple in their suffering. She looked out of the window, trying to choke down the aching in her throat.
 Don't worry, Corrinne, They'll find out that Sybil's lying. As soon SIS we can prove that sshe had the taxicah in her possession, just ready for stunt like this, everything will be cleared up."
 Sues hand slipped inside of Cor. rinne's and pressed it reassuringly.

Their class night dresses were mousseline de soie. This material has returned with the coming back of frills and .femininity. The material had large red dots. There was a rather deep V-neck line with fichu effect extending over the shoulders. This filmy fichu was ruffled with the dress material.
 Short jackets of red taffeta fin- ished the costumes. These particular jackets were called lobby coats. The trimming was double frill or rlch- ing of the red taffeta. It extended down the front and finished the sleeves which were ended just above the elbow. Gloves wrinkled in smart but casual manner completed the costume. With these dresses the girls wore sheer net hosiery in an evening shade, and pumps dyed to match the jacket. .; e.s Copyright 1891. Publishers syndi-.

Many of the wild plants that we condemn as 'noxious weeds" are full of minerals that we need, and since in most instances they may be ours for the taking, why not gather them while we may and clean up our lawns and gardens, reduce the cost of liv- ing, gain beneficial outdoor exercise and feed our families natures own tonics?
 Most of us do use dandelion greens as commonly as we do spin- ach, for dandelions are now cultf- vated and available in all city mar kets but there are other friendly weeds that are delicious and health- full and were prized by our grand mothers who could not depend on markets.
 The American cowslip or marsh marigold, which grows in the mea- dows and fields, is succulent and tender if gathered before the bios- soms have formed. This green is likely to be slightly bitter and tough if used when 1t has matured.
 Serve Niilkwecd Like Asparagus
 The young tender sprouts of milk weed arc very good cooked and served like asparagus and the small lcdNcS are lOI BISCHSs Sour dock comes early before gar. den greens are plentiful and many people think 1t rivals kale or spin. ach when properly cooked. Men who refuse to eat spinach like the edible weeds probably because of their pe- culiar tang.
 Fernbrakes, if culled while curled as they come up from the earth make a delicious green vegetable.
 Cress, no matter what kind 1t may be, is rich in sulphur and ideal for a spring time tonic"
 Wild mustard resembles the leaf of the spinach except that it is more ragged in outline. | Purlane, or "pussley," as we call 1t when 1t overruns our gardens, is good cooked as a green, in a stew or as cream soup. e Sorrel is a great favorite with the French people and was culti- vated in this country many years ago. It Is very good in beef broth or as a cream soup and can be used uncooked in salad or sandwiches. Extreme care must be taken In looking over greens. A good salt

NANCY PAGE High School Graduation Calls for Many Clothes
 By Florence fA 0anke.
By Florence fs 0anke.

The Jones twins were keeping to their record of always doing things together. They were both graduating from high school in the same class and naturally, their clothes were go- ing to be alike.
 For senior class day exercises they planned to wear suits with rather new and different points. The dresses had georgette guimpes. Both sleeves and neck lines were finished in the same fashion--a deep rufflel of eye Jet embroidery. The ruffle around the neck came down over the body of the dresses in fluffy fashion.
 With these dresses there were jackets. The line of the fiounce in the skirt was repeated in the pep- lum of the coat. The coat sleeves were just bit shorter than the three-quarter length sleeves of the guimpe. This allowed the ruffle to show and to continue the matching with the neck ruffe which was ad- justed to come on the outside of the jacket.
