sheltered THE Little House Of JOY"
Up in the mothers room was kept
a tin bank. In shape 1t was square,
painted like q house, with red TIN
roof and a wide tin chimney through
which the pennies (and they were pen
children called this money box ''The
Little House Of JOY" for In 1t was
saved the fund that gave the family
the long year. Every penny they could
spare went into the little house. Every
time a little money came their way,
they put 1t into the fund. Then, a few
weeks before Christmas, it was all taken
out, carefully counted and divided, each
taking his share to buy his Christmas
gifts
Whether 1t was the name they gave
to their savings bank, or whether the
name of the bank grew out of the Gus
tom, there was one unbreakable family
tradition, that the little house should
bring unalloyed Joy. On their "one
day" the father Strengthened his stoop-
ing shoulders, the mothers look of care
vanished with the Christmas dawn. 1t
was their day of days, to which they
looked forward, and upon which they
afterward looked back, as the jewel set
IN the gray ring of the year. Every
small present, bought after long, whis-
pered, mysterious conferences, was
wrapped and wrapped and wrapped, to
be disguised as much as possible, and
each was slowly unwrapped by the re-
ceiver all with q delight as keen as
though the bit Of twinc and paper held
the magic purse, at the very least.
Like so many Of the big houses of
yesterday, this one had also its tree. to
which were invited the children of the
neighborhood. To be sure, they couldn't t
ask very many, and only the littler ones.
Neither did they ever stand on one
side and hand out gifts for which the
children bobbed their curtsies In en-
barrassment, presently scuttling away,
still shy. The family soon made their
guests at home, as they romped through
follow-my- leader, hide and seek and
blind mans buff. And when the tree
was lighted they gathered around the
glittering cone, singing the Christmas
hymns.
You who read this may think their
Christmas gifts. their Christmas fes-
tival, slim and meager-that is. If you
forget the gift that shone within their
little house-the gift of Joy. However
small our own estate at the moment
may be, If our Christmas can be as
glad as theirs, then we need no SYM
pathyl Let sympathy be rather for
those, II there be such, who. having
everything, have nothing. -

RLACK, white and silver make one of
~ the elegant gestures Of the festive
season. The gown Is white MORE satin,
wrap is a three-quarter black velvet,
with its sleeves snlartly tiered with
six silver ruff1es, very modern In feeling,
suggesting the architectural forms re-
sultlng from the use Of chromium,
black bakelite and glass.
For brilliance ofs smaterial and SIM
plicity Of line there Is radiant, silver
brocaded lame, with exquisite design
of wheat and poppies, all stem lines
being on the diagonal of the material.
A high cowl neckline in front with v
back shoulder extensions, and pep
lum bodice give the design Of this dress.
F1ame-color crepe, with huge sleeves Of
shaded ostrich feathers, is one Of the
newest models in evening gowns for
town or Southern resort wear.

A MOTHER new idea, with promise of
gaining popularity as the Spring
season advances, is an outline print
crepe on a white ground. The figures
are large and bold. and the colors vivid.

by taking opposite directions. The

has wide revers, an oddly cut shoulder
section and long sleeves slightly full
at the top.

standard of conduct foreign to
his nature.
Children behave according to their
lights. They do what they know how
to do and what their instinct drives
them into doing. Their ways are not
evil. Children know nothing Of evil
Their intentions are good because they
are unconscious. No self-will has
touched them. 1t is only when he
comes in contact with an adult will
that the child becomes conscious Of his
behavior and becomes willful. His will
is to be and to do good, so If his con-
facts with grown folk strengthen him
in right ways, he will continue to be
right. If his associations with adult
ent tpse selhshness into action. his behavior h @
will be enough to make his parents and
teachers CRY, If only ! could make him
behave-D
thing to the erect that If the right
force could be discovered all would be
well. Tell me something to do to him
that will make him stop talking back 10
me- What ought to do to him when
he tells me a lieP" There is always the
idea that something must be done to
hurt the child, TO make him suffer be-
fore he will obey or follow guidance.
That notion works mischief. Hurtful
force does not make a child obedient.
Obedience comes of a feeling Of CO.
operation or 1t does not come at all It
is a mistake to think that because a
child does what he Is told to do under
the influence of fear he Is obedient.
He is of the same opinion still. The
first opportunity that offers him a
chance to have his own way he will
take it. His will and purpose have not
been reached by force, painful punish
ment or suppression under fear.
What we want to do is to train a
child so that he will want to do what
is best for him and for other people.
The will and the purpose belong to
the child and they remain his own, un-
until affection and cooperation and
personal feeling respond to another's
appeal What we want is the personal
desire Of the child to do we'll. How can
we achieve that?
Set him a good example always. He
will be what you are. Manage your
dealing with him so that he knows by
experience the benign influence of kind
ness, good will and seasoned common
sense. If he finds that your requests
are reasonable, that your edicts are
founded on a Just idea Of his rights and
feelings, If he learns to know you are
a well-balanced, practical and UNDER
standing person, who can be counted on
to be the same yesterday and tomorrow
and the day after, he will be guided
by what you say to a large extent.
There are people who cannot be salts
fed with that. They don't want to
guide child. They want to command
him. They want to dominate so "he
jumps when I speak," They can do
that, but they will have a child who
jumps at the word of command and
waits his time to even the account.
They can compel some children to obey
them literally, but they viii never know
the meaning Of real child-and-p parent
relationship, nor will they ever have
the Joy Of watching free soul expand
in the family circle. There Is q disci-
pline that frees and discipline that
binds, and you have your choice. But
the child will some day call you to ac-
count.
