Mother Tired Too
Father has the excuse, Of
course, that he is tired after a
hard day at the office. But
mother hasn't had exactly an
easy time of it at home and
"being tired" is not a logical
excuse.
If he wanted undisturbed
peace after his working hours
he should have remained
bachelor.
That also goes, incidently,
for mothers who complain too
much about being tiled down"
by their children.
The job of child raising does
tie you down, but it is one
you assume voluntarily and of
your own free choice. Having
made the choice. you should
stick to it without too much
growing and lamenting.
Has Advantage
The child who is buddy"
of his father has a decided
advantage over the youngster
who is raised entirely by
mother. The father can teach
him Cor herr dozens of things
impossible to mother. Even
mothers who have themselves
been workers and bucked the
big game of life.
The child whose two parents
share in his training has
broader outlook. He Cor she)
gets off to a better start.
Faher should take over his
share Of the job early in the
youngsters life. The infant will
learn to COO and gurgle with
special kind of joy over at
tentionS paid him by this big
and charming creature he calls
daddy" The older child will
love his Cor herr romps with
dad.
Whose Fault?
The father who cheerfully
assumes this duty will reap a
rich reward. Often we hear
them lament that they are
strangers to their children.

Questions

Take Him Along
Question: My baby sleeps
very well. Do you think it is
safe for me to go out and
leave him while I market? We
live in an apartment house.
Mrs. r. E.
Answer: It is extremely dan
gerous to leave an infant Cor
older child alone. There are
dozens of things that might
happen. Take him with you
when you market. The air
will do him good.
Tries to Walk
Q.-At what age does a baby
begin to try to walk? Mine is
a year old and has not even
attempted it. Mrs. B. G. III.
Avery few babies walk at
one year. Sometimes the small
wiry type attempts it success
fully but this is rare. It may be
a month or two before your
baby tries it. Or later than
that. If he is otherwise healthy

Dalnt1eS Go Fast
Holiday time is also a time
when most diets are forgotten.
Many families have children
home, or are doing much en-
tertaining, so that supplies of
nuts, raiSins, cookies and fruits
seem to fairly melt away. So
daintily done up boxes of any
Of these things are sure to be
welcome
Holiday Fruit Cake
First on the list of good
things to eat are fruit cakes.
Try to find a brand that has a
really home cooked flavor, and
there are many of them.
Wrap the cake in cellophane,
tie it with a big ribbon bow,
and it will rank with the favor
ite gifts under the tree.
Plum Pudding Fine
Plum puddings are excellent
gifts too, whether they are
home made or from your gro
cery store. Fig puddings make
an excellent change, and are
delicious.
Preserved mincemeat Is an
other welcome delicacy. and all
sorts of canned and preserved
fruits, particularly if they are
a "home made" brand, make
nice casual gifts.
In Attractive Jars

and other sweets can be found
in beautiful containers, and
make attractive gifts. Baskets
of fruit are decorative as we'll

crate of oranges is a gift

Boxes of cookies make nice
presents, especially if there are
children in the family. If you
don't want to make them your
self, the large biscuit companies
put up nice assortments, in at
tractive gift boxes.
Nuts Always Needed
Nuts come in pretty boxes,
and of course candies do too,
but I'd leave candy as the last
choice, for so many more people
give candy than they do other
Sweetmeats, that it's sure to be
there in greater profusion.
Then a final suggestion in the

think, is a mold of ice cream in

Golden Wedding
~ NErc poan%poo~.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I received a golden wedding
announcement and will you
please let me know if it is
proper or improper to send
gift? This announcement is
made up in a beautiful book
form and very expensive. I
have always been of the opin-
ion that an announcement
means a gift. M.
If you know these people
very well, and if you really wish
to send a gift, it is proper and
gracious to send a gift. But it
isn't necessary to make this
gesture just because you re-
ceived an announcement of the
anniversary, no matter how
elaborate this announcement is.

BEECKMAN
Quiet Wedding
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
am to be married in a few
weeks and owing to a recent
death in my immediate family,
the wedding is to be a quiet one.
We are to be married at the
preachers home with only
maid of honor and best man at
tending. Since the wedding is
to be a very quiet one and there
is to be no reception for our
friends after the ceremony, the
question of sending out we'd
ding announcements arose. Is
it proper to send out these an
nouncements before or after the
wedding takes place, or would
it be better form in this par.
ticular instance to forego send
ing announcements altogether?
It is our intention to have :.
bridal supper for the bridal
party and parents of the bride
and groom. It is my opinion
that the expenses are taken
care of by the brides parents.
m I correct in this thought?
L.
1. BY all means, if you can, do
send out marriage announce
mentS. AS a matter of fact
they are especially appropriate
for just such a wedding, and
they are thoroughly correct.
But theyOmust be mailed after
the ceremony has been per-
formed. Have them all ready
engraved, addressed, stamped
and let it be someone's du;y
to mail them after the cere-
mony. Then your relatives and
friends in town will receive
them the morning following the
ceremony.
2. Yes, you are right. The
brides parents plan and pay for
the reception or dinner or sup
per after the ceremony.
