Gordon Livingstone McTavish made
himself as small as he could and did his

promptly deserted him with poke and

The shrinking little man edged into
the shadow of a big chair. Mother
pulled the chair away and left him ex-
posed to the glare of the hutterlng
smile of the little old lady who was
doing her best to put him at his ease.
He fled to the doorpost and did his best

Your Baby and Mine

A mother has few hours in the day
TO call her own. Yet some mothers
deprive themselves of these precious
ones, which might be devoted to their
own interest, because they cannot say,
mo-, to the childs unreasonable de-
mands.
OF all the expenditures of valuable
time, that Of lying down with child
while he goes to sleep is the most USE
less. This unnecessary attention re-
suits as badly for the child as for the
weakspined slave who acquiesces.
From his earliest infancy we are
intent on convincing the child that
sleep is a desirable, enjoyable state
into whose embrace he goes willingly.
We are intent on showing him that
there is no more cause for him TO
fear the enfolding dark than the COM
forting light Yet we negate all these
assertions by agreeing to sit near or
lie down with the child while he goes
to sleep, thus admitting that there is
cause for fear and that going to sleep
is a lonely, perhaps terrifying exper-
fence. How inconsistent
A mother wrote to me recently: my
4-year -old boy will not go to sleep un-
less I lie down with him. How can I
break him of this?"
There is Just one way. Stop doing
1t. If he Is sleepy the boy cannot
possibly keep himself from going to
sleep and his threats are therefore,
laughable.
Undoubtedly this mother has tried
to bride the child to 60 to bed alone.
BE a good boy and see what mother
will give you In the morning. This
cannot be effective so long as the child
prefers an immediate reward which
he can enjoy at the moment to one
for which he will have to wait until
tomorrow The very fact that his
mother offers him a reward, for doing
what he should be expected to do be-
cause 1t Is pleasure to himself, in
dicates her weakness.
He must understand that this is
his bed time, not his mothers. The
mother should take him to bed, give
him the necessary attention, and then
go downstairs without further COM
ment.
Too much talk, too much effort to
reason with the child are alike in
effective because they weaken the
mothers case. 1t should be plain that
going to bed without company is the
natural thing to do.

Household Methods
By BETSY cALLIsTER.

81 am planning to give a salmagundi
party. What games are usually played
to make 1t most enjoyable and what
would you suggest playing for those

Many of my friends do not understand

other ways Of entertainment where real
fun can be had for folks around 20

ANY simple table games designed for
young people are suitable for a salma-

played before, or not since their child

pie can have lots of fun playing ping
pong. jack stones, or even marbles, and
nowadays many people who understand
bridge and other card games are find
ing it amusing to play games of this
sort. You can have a jolly party play
