Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Schedules.

Emphasis upon a regular schedule for
oaby is not my idea; neither is it
particularly new one. My oldest daugh-
ter was kept to a rigid schedule %
years ago, and I nervously viewed any
deviation from that schedule as moth
ing short of a crime
One grows less infiexible with the
second and third babies but I've never
lost my respect for schedules. They
make it possible for the busy mother TO
hnish Ter daWn-to-dark duties. One
never has to bother about deciding
when thing shall be done, because the
clock does that. Bottle, bath, nap,
bottle, airings, all come along as regu-
larly as the tick of a metronome.
Babies thrive on regular habits. The
fault is solely the mothers and i'm
provement begins when she accepts the
blame and determines to change.
Mrs. O's baby is l year old and
weighs "a pounds. II notice you lay
so much stress upon schedules" she
says. No matter how I try I can't
keep her to a schedule, each day is
different. One day can feed her at
6, the next day I don't feel well or the
milk man isn't here. I try to give her
breakfast at 1890, but she is often so
sleepy have to put her to bed
Il give her daily one-half cup of
cereal, one-half cup of vegetables. one
tablespoonful of egg and three table
spoonsful Of apple sauce. Do you think
she Is overfed. Sometimes at o'clock
at night she is fast asleep and hate to
waken her. When can give her the
yolk Of a whole egg? How can I help
her to start walking? She walks when
we hold her, but won't try by herself.
l am not well and my duties are hard
to attend to. But I do want to give
her the right attention"
Some OF the elementary methods of
feeding are evidently unfamiliar to
you. Prepare enough bottles at 10 am.

The non-appearance of the milkman

morning feeding

schedule. feeding hours being at 7. IL
and $50. She should have one nap
daily between IL and q If there are
two maps, one should be scheduled

OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI.

Betsy dissolves in tears at the slight
est excuse. Does some one speak
sharply to her, Betsy weeps. When her
mother tells her she must put on her
rubbers herself, she weeps until mother
teels sorry for her and puts on the
ruo0ers. Immediately Betsy cheers up.
Ii somebody pushes against her
roughly IN the playground, there IS
burst OF tears. Teacher, teacher,
BetSy'S crying"
Tell me when she isn't crying. That
would surprise me-" says Miss Lavin1a,
tartly, for Betsy's tears have soaked
through even Miss Lavinia's stole calm.
Last week Betsy could not get the
method OF long division. Again and
again Miss Lavinia tried to help her.
Each time she approached Betsy with
the idea of showing her just how the
trick was done Betsy laid her head
on her arms and wept copiously.
FRIDAY morning Miss Lavinia said,
Betsy, you stay with me this afternoon
when everybody goes home. and Ill
teach you how to do this"
Down went Betsys head and the
tears dripped fast. At noon time the
tears dripped down into the soup and
mother cried, For PHYS sake Betsy
what is it now?"
Miss Lavinias going to keep me in.
DO what?"
That. She says she will show me
but can't. I can't"
Come, come, wash your face and get
ready to go back to school. You are
going to be late"
The tears flowed faster and the sobs
came thicker. well, you're in no con-
dition to go to school Now you'll have
to stay at home. I'll telephone Miss
Lavinia."
Immediately the tears dried up and
the sobs ceased.
Yes? Well hasn't she stopped crying
now? 1 thought so. Now, Mrs Allenby,
won't you please bring her right along
TO me? I'm going to teach her long
division this afternoon if it's in me to
do it. And I'm going to teach Betsy
that tears won't help get hard lob
done. If We don't stop this CRYING
business she isn't going to stop it. Let's
get it over and done with"
With great miSgiving, mother led the
weeping Betsy back to school. Miss
Lavinta just nodded and went on hear
ing Michael recite his tables as if Betsy
had been there all the time At the
change of periods, right after recess,
Miss Lavtnia took Betsy one side, and
calmly began teaching her to make two
go in six three times. The tears were
dripping steadily but no more steadily
than Miss Lavinia moved her pencil and
used her voice
At about quarter to 4. along came
Betsy, cheerfully swinging her booking,
smiling like basket of chips.
I'm quite smart, mother I learned
long division Just as quick as a wink.
Miss Lavinia SAYS I'm quite smart Can
I have a cookie?"
Tears must win nothing. They are
entitled to a washrag and cold water
and Quiet room. with privacy Moth
ing more. They are an idleness and a
curse. Dry them up with cheerfulness
and occupation. And no compromise.

They can look in any direction and are
pulled in when danger threatens.
Long, flexible antennae, stout at the
base and threadlike at the tips, are
seeking information, and the extra ones
are called the antennules, which give
the warning, Danger ahead"
There are many swimmerets on the
abdomen, each supplied with a pair of
paddles at the tip and fringed with
hairs.
The tail is a marvellous organ. It is
fan-shaped, opens and closes, lifts UP
and curls under. 1t propels the cray
fish with great speed backward 1t is
as efficient as motor fastened to a
fishing boat
The mother does not trust her chill
dren to nest or a stone anchor She
cleans and polishes the paddles on her
hind feet and gives them a coat of
waterproof glue. In grapelike clusters
the wee black globules are secured to
the sticky finish.
The babies hatch and hang on to
their mother for dear life She cares
for them until they become fearless
and seek their own food. 1t takes five
years for crayflsh to grow up The
food is tiny frogs, fish, bugs and bits
OF plants,

low, the crayfish digs wells and backs

floats off. The new skin is tender and
elastic. The crayfiSh is now low In his
mind and at the mercy of his enemies
He is soon out of danger, however.
They are mighty fighters and often
lose one or more legs and half of their
antennae. This is not serious They
can grow new ones. A round or two
with a worthy opponent enlivens an
otherwise monotonous day.

Straight Talks to Women
About Money.
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.
Spends No Money on Self.


The woman who never spends any
money on herself is simply saving
money for others. Sometimes We speak
so persistently and earnestly about
thrift that a few converts overbend IN
their efforts to live up to high stand
ard of economic living.
Every woman owes it to her own hap
pinesS, well-being and frame OF mind 10
live comfortably. to eat well, and to
dress in becoming fashion. There are
plenty of superficial or unnecessary
things on which we may economize
without going to the extreme OF cutting
short on the kind of spending that
makes life pleasant to live.
Just what does the woman save who
never spends any money on herselt?'
Usually she saves nothing. or next 10
nothing. The chances are more than
even that some less salf-sacrificlng
member of the household is enjoying
few extras in life because Of the thrift
of the woman who goes without"
In few instances the money that is
not spent is actually saved. but for
whom? Not for the saver who soon ac-
quires the habit of doing without and
consequently requires but little to live.
Eventually the fruit Of her saving years
will pass to another whose only virtue
has been patience In waiting for the
windfall.
Our advice to every woman Is to
spend, especially where spending will
make life bit more comfortable, bit
more colorful and a bit more Zestful.
There are many ways to save, several
Of which have been mentioned here
