Your Baby and Mine


So many of the mothers mistakes
are made In ignorance, unconscious of
the results We have an almost uni
versal habit of setting up the good
child in the family as model for the
others.
It's so natural to say: "If you could
only be like Paul. See how nicely ne
plays with his wagon. He isn't hanging
on mother all day, asking her to play"
that barana How can you lie to me.
Brother never does. I can always de-
pend upon brothers word"
Poor Ellen! She is so slow. Sissie is
so quick. But Ellen can't concentrate,
poor dear. Isn't it queer how two chill
dren can be SO different?"
There are many mothers who at this
moment are guiltily conscious that they
have been doing just that. They
thought it an excellent way to prod
the child into more desirable behavior
AS a matter CT fact, they have to adj
NIT that 1t hasn't been effective, but
they can't see why child wouldn't
want TO be like some more admired
child.
Children do not, however, want to
initiate the model" Instead they are
Stifled by sense of inferiority If q
pattern is pointed out for them to fol-
low. They accept the parents estimate
CT their ability. They have no idea
that it is within their power to change.
Mother says she can't concentrate.
Mother says he's poky. Mother says he
lies, and brother never does. Children
don't choose to be that way. That IS
the way they are, and once having &C
cepted our judgment of them, they go
on being that way forever.
Children are nodded by circum-
stances. If they are slow, then find out
why. What is causing one child to lag
when others hurry? Does he need more
help. more inspiration? What use to
say some one else IS fast and he is
slow? That does nothing to alter the
conditions which have made him slow.
1t faStens the label SLOW" upon him.
Children do need correction They
do need setting ON different paths. It
should not be effected by comparing
them with other children. If you want
to Sc up models of conduct for a child
let these be adults, whom he admires.
Let these models he public heroes or
fictional ones. not children on the same
level with himself. That puts him in
another class. That makes him jeal-
Gus and bitter of the models accom-
plishments. 1t doesn't spur him on
to want to be like the other child To
compare child to his own disadvantage
with his neighbor or brother or sister
Just arouses emotions which stifle
further effort. He feels them to be
superior beings and he is a poor worm
unable to measure up with them The
result is decreased instead of increased
effort.

Screens can be homemade as well as
bought ready-made. A frame can be
constructed from a folding clothes horse.
If the width of panels is more than
desired for the height Of the finished
screen, the rods can be sawed of and
dovetailed again into the cleaned-out
holes in the uprights.
Stretchers for oil paintings can be
hinged together and form frames. Or
the man of the house cor the woman, If
she is handy with tools) can have
lengths of wood strips sawed TO fit to-
gether to form panels, and put these
together himself cor herself. Paint or
stain the wood.
Frames can be covered by Shirring
cretonne over the top and bottom rods
so that the textile fills in the open
panel portions. This is the best way
to cover clothes-horse screens. For
screens so covered having heavier
wooden frames, paint or stain the
frames and attach brass sash curtain
rods 10 the uprightS just far enough
from the cross pieces at top and bottom
for the heading Of the shirred portions
to fill in the narrow strip between the
rods and the frame.
Panels in frame are also covered with
cotton cloth, burlap. denim, etc, tackled
taut along all edges, and these panels
covered with plain wall paper pasted
smoothly over each section of the tex
tile. Plain wall paper is recommended,
with cut-out borders pasted on it to
outline the panels.
Handsome screens are made by using
plain leather replica wall paper so orna-
mented with cut-outS from ornamental
leather paper that the effect is of a
fooled leather screen. Hammer tacks
with leather cor imitation leather
heads close about edges.
A heavy plain textile can be tackled

Household Methods
$4,000 Income.
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

II have been married for 10 years
and have always looked forward to the
time when I could keep maid. Ny
husbands income is nearly $4,000
year. We have two children and own
our own home. At present I send the
laundry work out and have woman
in one day a week 10 clean. The laun-
dry work costs 81 as a rule and the
woman costs SO. That is 81 a week. 1t
seems to me as if it would be more
sensible to get girl who could do the
washing and cleaning as well as the
other work, but my husband seems to
think that it would be extravagant.
Some people say that a maid costs lot
more than her wages. because of waste
and breakage. Won't you please give
me your advice" PUZZLED.
According to experts the family with
an income Of $4,000 a year should spend
not more than $50 month on operat-
ing expenses. Operating" includes
lighting expenses. fuel, telephone, clean
ing materials, supplies and replacement
Of equipment. In order TO find out what
you can afford to pay for help make a
list including the average monthly ex-
penses for these things. Get the total
and then subtract it from $50 and you
will see what you may fairly spend for
service. Possibly there will be enough
left to pay for an inexperienced house
worker, certainly not enough TO pay for
well trained maid. Remember, too,
that II you have a green maid you will
have to help a good deal with the clean
ing and you may have trouble in getting
one who is willing to do the washing
You say you own your house. If you do
not have to pay interest on heavy mort
cages your shelter costs are probably
lower than they would be if you had
to pay rent. That means that your total
income is actually more than $4,000 a
year One good way of finding out
whether you can afford maid would
be TO try it for month or more.

to a frame with leather-covered or
brass-headed tacks, and then have cut
outs from a figured textile pasted onto
each panel. The screen panels should
then be vanished. The beauty Of all
these screens depends on the artistry of
the one who makes them.
The handsomest of all these screens
is made by embroidering panels. If
readers would Ike design to be worked
in cross-stitch to form paneis, please
write and ask for such a design and it
will be made for them. Write early, as
it will take some time to have the panel
designed. Direct requests to Lydia LIE

Stems of Summer.

The pale greenery Of early Spring
gives place now TO the richer. ripper
green of late Spring. Already, indeed,
there are signs of full. Summer, when
the foliage. both in country and in city
streets, takes on the dark blue-green
of Summers full resplendency. Now
the last tree has leafed out. Even the
late-comerS. like the oaks and lindens,
the catalpas and the princess tree, have
got under way with their great archi-
tectural task of the year, the construc-
ton and suspension of that complex
breathing organism called the leaf.
On a very large tree, say a giant elm,
there is sometimes almost an acre of
leaf surface (for We must count both
sides of the leaf in calculating the
area and every bit of it. of fine,
sunny day. is hard at work. Leaves
are the lungs. liver and stomach Of a
plant. They are factories that make
no smoke or noise. but on the contrary,
give shade and rustling music, and
diminish the dust and disease of their
neighborhood; and as every school
child knows (and many adults have
forgotten) they give off oxygen, the
gas that animals need, and use the
carbon gas that animals breathe out.
Every school child, too. is asked to
digest the word chlorophyll, which
merely means leat-green. 1t Is word
worth mastering, for we are chloro-
phyllis dependents. The green coloring
matter IN the leaf, with. chemical for
mula almost foot and half long,

energy makes lifeless water and min
