Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Any one who specializes in parent
education finds the same questions CROP
ping up over and over again. Most in
frequently does one encounter a differ
ent question. When I read the follow
ing letter, wondered why this question
had never been asked before and if it
were possible that mothers thought this
a natural condition which developed OF
itself
please tell me through your column"
writes a mother, what / shall do to
gain the confidence of my daughter, so
that when she is older she will come to
me with her troubles"
It is pathetic, but true that there are
mothers who slave for their children,
deny themselves necessities to furnish
them luXuries, and still never have any
real heart-to-heart contact with them
The children might as well live in an
other world.
If we are to bring about this ideal
state in which the parent Is the first
to whom child pours out his troubles,
the growth has to be steady and con-
slant from earliest childhood
We must realize that it is always
easier to conf1de in a stranger than in
ones own. From the stranger we get
an unbiased opinion about the whole
situation. We lose no status with the
stranger because we have none. With
the parent it is different. If she ex-
poets too much Of the child, makes the
standards Of conduct too ideally per-
feet, the child cannot conf1de in her
for fear of destroying that picture Of
himself in the parents mind. I'm
doubtedly, then, the first step would be
to understand that children can err,
that all are not perfect, and to make
allowances when such stumbling from
the straight road is admitted.
The ideal confldant is understanding
sympathetic, and holds the child's con-
f1dences sacred It Is all too easy for
the proud and amused mother to ped
die her daughters confidence abroad.
Don't tell a soul, but you should have
heard Kate when she asked me what
she should do If boy wanted to hold
her hand, and would it be awful if
Nshe let him" Kate may never know
how they screamed at her naive ques-
ton, but If her own mother can't re-
frain from telling it, what is to pre-
vent any listener from making a good
story of it? When 1t comes back, the
child determines then and there never
to tell her mother another thing. She
Is Inundated and hurt.
To answer q child'S question Is to
lay another permanent stone in this
edif1ce. One refusal to be bothered, one
suggestion to run and ask some one else
or to look 1t up herself destroys the
child's faith in her mother as foun-
tain of wisdom and knowledge, inter-
ested always in what interests the child.
And as a browning tower one must hug
tightly an emotional placidity which
makes it impossible ever to be shocked
grieved or shamed at anything a child
may tell one. A display Of such emo
lions so frightens the sensitive child
that there would never be any further
attempts to make mother understand"

Demand for Fine Handkerchief
By MARY MARSHALL.

It Is not enough TO have o dozen
new handkerchiefs- dozen or three
dozen-as part Of your wardrobe for
Spring. Handkerchiefs cannot be
| counted in dozens as one would towels
as neckScarfs or handbags and should
be chosen with special thought con-
corning the dress with which they are
to be carried. Even the perfectly plain,
| fine, white linen handkerchief should
be chosen with some view to the occa-
sion.
If It Is to be tucked into the side Of
your purse, 1t should be sheer and rather
small. II you have mans size pocket
in your riding habit or Winter sports
costume, you will find one Of the larger
sports handkerchiefs as convenient as 1t
Is smart.
Evening handkerchiefs are usually
rather small or decidedly large, but
always fine of quality and exquisite of
texture. The amount that you will save
in the course of a year through buying
cheap handkerchiefs in place of fine
ones is in the end decidedly small, but
the difference in your feeling of per-
sonal daintiness will be enormous. And,
of course, II you buy rather nice hand
keep track Of them, so that In the end
your handkerchief bill may be the same
anyway!
Recently the young woman in charge
Of the handkerchief department Of one
of the large stores told us that there
had been an unusually persistent and

in" to the good things, the happy ideas,
the pleasant memories, the tnspira-
tional thoughts, the joyous outlook. We
cannot expect to get messages without
setting our mental dial hand correctly.
We must deliberately seek the correct
wave length. The only known way to
do this at present is by turning our
thoughts to these stations.
Is 1t happy ideas we would receive?
Think happy thoughts. Shut of the
static Of disagreeable CONCENTRATIONS
which tap more or less insistently on
the mind and whistle through the
memories. Disregard them and they
will cease. Hold the mind as stead
tasty as the radio dial needle to the
correct wave, the happiness station.
You will be rewarded. You will be in
tune with happy ideas throughout all
thought stations, and you cannot fail
to get happy brain waves.
Centuries ago man by the name OF
Paul made this discovery for himself,
and, to help others, he wrote down a
way to get In tune with peace and
happiness as follows: Whatsoever
things are true, honest, just, pure,
lovely and Of good report-think on
these things.

What is wrong with me? Do you

Mary can be comforted. Nearly all
the people In the world who do any
worthwhile work suffer from Just such
feelings of inferiority. Because they
are so insure of themselves, they work
harder than people who have a higher
opinion of their own abilities. And they
climb higher up.
Abraham Lincoln had an inferiority
complex and so had Andrew Jackson.
Such novelists as Dickens and Balzac
and Mark Twain, such supreme artists
as Michelangelo and Northumberland
and every one Of them suffered as she
does. Often like her they were uneasy
with other people. Sometimes they hid
the feeling behind jokes, like Lincoln
and Mark Twain; sometimes, like
Michelangelo, they shrank from people
altogether. AS long as they live, such
people are never satisfied with what
they do. So they keep on doing better.
And the greatest living people like
Einstein and Edison, have that feeling,
too.
Mary is probably not a genius like
these, but I am sure her inferiority
complex is just as unreasonable. In
deed, the psychologists who study such
things tell us that this particular COM
pick is almost always without founda-
ton.

gives her manner a pleasant modesty.

Dreamed Celery.

Clean the celery and cut it into pieces
about three-fourths into long. Cook in
a small quantity of boiling sailed
water for Is to 20 minutes, or until
tender. Drain and combine with white
sauce made in the proportion of two
tablespoonfuls of flour and two table
spoonfuls of butter to one cupful of
milk. Season and serve at once. A few
of the tender leaves of the celery may
be minced and scattered over the top
to make the dish look attractive. The
tougher stalks of celery from several
punches may be used in this way and
the hearts served raw.

These were the days, probably, when
President Wilson was beginning to dis
cover that his ideal of "open covenants,

to the untangling of the more delicate
problems of European diplomacy.

there is doubtless material in those
conversations which might quiet old

It would take assent of the other

the statement that every person is a
radio transmission and reception sta
ton. According to him, every one sends
out messages and receives them. No
person who has thought at all deeply
can have failed to wonder where ideas
come from. They certainly are re-
ceived. It may be that we can trace
certain ones to the germ of an idea re-
ceived from remark made recently or
far back. It has matured and taken on
new aspects, consciously or uncon-
sciously in our brain,
There are many ideas, however, that
come to us with no known cause or
reason. In some marvellous way our
minds are "tuned In" to them. We
know that when we wish to get certain
radio stations we turn the hand on the
radio dial to well defined wave lengths.
When so tuned In" we receive the

President.
He was completely against 1t.
II, the general said, there was a new
idea In human relations behind the
Russian turmoil, no number of bayo-
nets would be able to check or destroy
it. If there was no new idea, why
worry about the Russian affair at all?
1t could not prevail, he contended.
The matter has been mentioned in
memoirs and other publications since
that time. But the text of this philo-
sophical reasoning from the lips of a
hard-boiled professional soldier would
make highly interesting reading now.
At that time, either his opinion or
something else served to squelch Foch's
plan. 1t was never put into operation.
And there are other such incidents
buried in this mass of data-many just
as interesting and far-reaching.

CONCERNING THE

Last night at English's a single
performance of 1.-THE Beggar's
Opera" was given.
If I am not mistaken this is the
third time that it has been given in
the city in my experience.
A cast of eight people sang this
version which was different in many
respects to that I have seen. Some
of the conversation has been toned
down. There was a small orchestra
in the pit.
The high lights of the perform
ance was the comedy work of Elsie
French as Mrs. Peachum and the
work of Sylvia Nelis as Polly Peach
un, who married for love and was
promptly instructed by her father
and mother to hang her own hus-
band.
The singers on the whole caught
some of the spirit of this ancient
piece with its many tunes familiar
to hundreds. Probably that &C
counted for the near capacity house,
one of the largest of the season.
