Thinking Their Own Thoughts
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

childish wisdom, see that they play with
other children and are not too much
with their elders. 1t makes child a
prig to give a rehash, in prattle or in
language of later youthfulness, of ideas
far beyond his mental acumen. Chill
drsn who do this are unpopular with
those of their own age and adults alike.
Help children to be natural in their
thoughts and their speech.
Beware of superchild study. Do not
be constantly prying into your child's
mind. He will be quick to realize what
is going on, although he could not ex-
plain his feelings about 1t. He will APP
preciate that you are endeavoring to
probe his thoughts. This will make
him on his guard. He will instinctively
withdraw into himself and leave you, as
his mother or father, wondering what
makes q gulf between you and him.
Let a child try to investigate his
mothers or fathers mind and the
parent will resent 1t. Often II child
shows resentment he is punished. Be
fair with your children. Adults have
an unmolested right to think their own
thoughts and they exercise 1t. A child
should have the same privilege.

A Sermon for Today
Whv We Are Tempted.
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Blessed is tn man that endureth
temptation. James, liz.
Temptation is probably the most
familiar and most general experience
of life. AS some one has said, "All are
wise. all are not foolish, all are not
joyful, all are not sorrowful, but all are
tempted"
MANY wonder why temptation is such
a common thing in our experience;
why does God suffer us to be tempted
at all? Gould He not stop 1t? Then,
why does He no. do it?" they ask. The
answer is that temptation is "a neces-
sary process in the development OF our
Character
The word "teinpt" means literally to
! try. to D. .e. to test. To tempt man
is to test him. This testing is a very
needful thing. 1t reveals to us where
we are weak, where we need to be on
our qua =, where Improvement is
needed, where we require special divine
help. It is greatly to our advantage 10
know this.
Besides, valor INFESTED is no valor.
Untried virtue is at best what Milton
calls "a fugitive and clustered virtue,
unexercised and unbreathed, that never
SallieS out and sees her adversarles.
In the very nature of the case we re-
quire temptation for our moral train
| ing. 1t is through temptation that we
gain moral strength and developed
manhood.
James saw the meaning and value
of temptation Count it all JOY" he
said, when We fall into divers tempta-
tions; knowing this, that the trying OF
your faith worketh patience" Again
he said: Blessed is the man that en-
dureth temptation, for when he is tried
he shall receive the crown of life"
The man we crown is the man in
whom we recognize the virtue Of proved
manhood, not merely Of untried limo
cence. We new know how strong an
untried man is. To illustrate, here is a
man who never committed theft. But
he has never had any temptation to
steal. We admire his innocence of that
transgression. But we are not sure of
his honesty. w are not sure of what
the result would be should his honesty
once b. put to the test by a real temp
tation to steal or defraud.
We entertain no such doubt OF the
man who has time and again endured
that temptation and proven himself a
victor. And We have no hesitancy in
crowning him an honest man.
There would be no triumphs to our
credit If we had no foes to vanquish,
no temptations to conquer. Not until
we have been tried and proven our
selves victorS ar We worthy to wear a
victor'S crown.

Push dovn Cuticle

points of an orangewood stick wrapped
with a wisp of absorbent cotton.
Ffngernails should never be cut with
the scissors. If they are filed at regular
intervals and not kept too long, the
weekly manicure should suffice. To keep
the skin around the nail from over
growing, it should be pushed back, when
the hands are washed, with a dry towel.
There are a great many women who
make a habit of q weekly visit to the
beauty shop, but there are many others
who prefer a weekly home manicure,
which may be given quite easily with
little practice.
First, wash and scrub the hands and
nails thoroughly. If you have been
using liquid nail polish, remove it
first with the nail polish remover, using
a camel's-hair brush for this purpose.
Next, file the nails of both hands the
desired length and shape, using a long,
flexible nail file. Hold the nail file
firmly between the thumb and first two
fingers. Use long-stroking movement,
but do not file one part of the finger
nail more than the other part File
them so that they are slightly oval or
slightly pointed, depending upon the
type and size of your fingernail
Soak the nails in warm, Soapy water
for several minutes. II, however, your
fingernails are inclined to be ridged,
brittle or soft, steep them in warm
olive oil or equal parts of olive oil and

almond oil or mineral oil instead of
soaking them in water. Warm the oil,
but do not have it hot enough to burn
the fingers. Hold the tips of the fingers
in the oil until it is almost cold. A little
cuticle cream or oil is then taken on
the end of the orangewood stick, which
is wrapped in absorbent cotton and ap-
piled to the skin around and under
meath the nails. Press the cuticle back.
1t may be necessary to cut away a
portion of the pushed-back cuticle, but
this operation should be restricted, If
possible, to the shipping away of the
ragged edges or hangnails. This pro-
cedure will not be necessary il you give
your nails the regular care that they
need and press the cuticle back every
time you wash your hands.
Wipe of the oil. The nails are now
scrubbed again, dried and the emery
board used to smooth them. A little
bleach cream may be pressed under the
nails at the tips of the fingers. Scrub
again, dry and apply powder or paste
nail polish and buff with chamois
buffer. If liquid nail polish is to be
used, wash and dry the hands after
using the powder polish. Home mani
cure sets are obtainable, together with
the liquid nail polish and the small
brush that is used to apply it.
For Upper Arms.
Thin girls and women worry about
their upper arms which, as one reader
puts it, Look so horrid in an evening
gown" But they are not alone in
their trouble, for those who are toe
fleshy are just as concerned apd just
as eager to know how to make their
arms graceful and shapely.
There is only one way to keep the
upper arms correctly proportional
supple and beautiful and that Is
through regular massage and daily exer-
else. In these exercises and massage
the same rule holds good which is al
ways applicable, and that is, that those
who are thin should exercise leisurely
and massage gently. Those whose
arms are covered with excess flesh
must make the massage rather vigor-
Gus. and it may be followed by brisk
patting and rub with alcohol. The
exercises, too should be repeated Oft
ener and more StrenuouSly.
For the majority, swimming the
breast stroke or the crawl are splen-
did exercises for the upper arms. In
addition the following exercises may
be practiced daily:
Cd Stand erect with both arms
stretched over your head, palms facing
Bring the forearms down briskly, ell
bows bent upward close to the face
Now touch the shoulder blades behind
with the fingertipS until you feel the

good size rug or a number of small

Oriental what sort would be beSt?"
j. G.
Oriental rugs are appropriate to
many colonial type living rooms. If
wisely chosen the, Oriental may be
most harmonious and there is excel
lent precedent in colonial usage, for
many of the New England colonists
were sea captains or had interest in
trade with the Orient so that ORR
entail rugs, fabrics and ornaments were
frequently found in well furnished
colonial rooms.
For the early colonial room fur
nished in the rougher, more primitive
! type of colonial style, hand-hooked
rugs are often more appropriate, how

to twenty times, with right and left
arm alternately, then swing both arms
together. After you have practiced
with each arm separately and both
arms together, try to take one arm
to the right and the other arm to
the left ten to twenty times and re-
verse. This is rather difficult at first
but very beneficial for arms, neck
shoulders, back and chest. Breathe
deeply and regularly during the exer-
cises
The above exercises will timber UP
the muscles and build firm, smooth
flesh in place of flabby, loose, soft rat.

they should be by those who are too
thin, they will help cover bony arms
