Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
If Child Is Unpopular.

TT is pathetic for the parent to dis
cover that her child does not Al
into his social group. The idea
i condition is for child to like othe,
children and be liked by them. Un-
happily, like all ideals, this is not al
ways possible of achievement When
the child Is unpopular, the last person
| to be able to understand the situation
Is the parent, who loves the child and
can see but one side of the equation.
| The mother of child of Is trying
hard to understand what may be wrong
The child is bright and extremely ag-
gressive. When children play with her
she wants them to watch her play with
the dolls or read her book or otherwise
act as an interested audience Of her
performances. When she goes out to
play and begins debating to the chill
dren, she is wholesomely snubbed and
comes home calling them names, be-
cause they will not let her tell them
how to play. She is unpopular in
school, and though children can be
lured to play with her at home, they
seldom come more than once, and leave
In a huff.
The recital of the mother Is all Of
the childs actions but these must be ac-
counted for by her treatment at home.
One can only guess what is wrong upon
such insufficient evidence but there are
several conditions which might be
responsible.
| This is an only child, smart child.
Obviously she gets attention at home,
and when children come to play, she
acts with them as she does with her
| parents-probably with other adults
and shows of. The other children, hav-
| ing gifts of their own, do not take
kindly to playing second fiddle, and so
they go home.
| 1t is possible that, being subject to
the concentrated attention Of both par
ents, who are intent on making a per-
feet child Of her, she may have a chance
| to dominate only when she Is playing.
At home she is the recipient Of numer-
GUS suggestions and orders which in
turn she pours out on the children with
whom she comes in contact.
She may be mentally superior to the
group with which she Is supposed to
play Mentally superior children nat
urally assume the role of leader, a role
that may not be to the liking OF this
particular group. She might be better
suited to slightly older group to whose
dominance she would submit because
Of their superiority in age.
All of these are just possible reasons
why a child of 5, mentally well-de-
veloped, used to playing alone, cannot
find happy companionship among chill
dren of her own age.
| The mother has heretofore tried to
point out to her why she wasn't liked or
| tolerated, but this method Is open to
serious question. To inbue the child
with the idea that she isn't liked or
likable, even when buoyed up by logical
reasons, is inevitably to convince her of
this with disastrous consequences. Any
changes should be made in the whole
| family or school situation with the help
and advice of the teachers who know
the child and who may be able to make
valuable suggestions.

And there is nothing the matter

"Of course not" replied Blacky
There isn't much l don't see"
"Just So" said Reddy. Just so.
Now l have good eyes, but not bring

things near me. There might be some

Blacky nodded. I've seen you miss

You know all the farms and all the
henyards for a long distance In all
directions, don't you?" continued Reddy.
NO one knows them better. I make
it my business to know them and just
which ones are most dangerous TO

Just So Blacky. Just so. That is

for a long time, but must tell you
that your advocacy of newspapers at
the breakfast able is terrible! All
meals should be cheerful, jovial and
conversational, particularly breakfast.
Dent you think so, really?"
Answer. No, I'm afraid I don't Many
years of experience have taught me
that few share my own early morn
ing gayety, and now / know that it Is
best to take my own best hour of the
day by myself Besides, it Is quite
proper to read the paper at breakfast.
Don't you think two out of three cheer
full, jovial conversational meals a very
good average?
Dear Mrs. Post: In an article some
weeks ago you advised teaching young
children a foreign language. l have
searched the papers for information re-
garding such teachers and have had
no success. Could you suggest way
of finding a teacher for my b-year-olo
daughter?"
Answer: Go to the professional en-
ployment bureau Or advertise IN the
paper for a well-bred foreigner, who is
kind and fond of children, to come and
talk with your child. Investigate her

Embroidery With Black and White
BY LYDIA BARON WALKER

which today is known as etching en-
broidery. When the stitches are fine
and the design suitable, these adapted
etching embroideries also make de-
lightful pictures to frame. The new
vogue, however, Is as much for orna-
menting napery, cushion covers and
other household linens as for pictures
The design offered today of basket
of blossoms is appropriate to both ap-
plications. The pattern sheet contains
two sizes, one large and the other a
small design, with full directions for
carbon transferring and working Va
rious uses of the pattern in each size
are suggested. This etching embroidery
pattern can be had for 10 cents, accom-
panied by a self-addressed and stamped
envelope. Direct requests to Lydia LIE
Baron Walker, care of this paper.
The black and white vogue Is fol-
lowed whether the medium is black and
foundation white, or reverse notwith-
stanoing the fact that the former has
historic precedence. Should a founda-
tion be black, as for instance in a
satin sofa cushion, use a light transfer
paper and embroider the design in
white silk The fashion is not followed
when other colors than black or sepia
ere employed, but this does not bar the
design being carried out in any pre-
ferred color schemes to harmonic with
decoration of any special rooms

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Deduction.

A dentist in Washington, D. c. writes:
viii you kindly explain that important
mental operation called deduction? l
have read explanations by various au-
thors, but somehow l fail to under
stand just what is meant by deductive
reasoning"
[Yne best way to get at the meaning
of deduction is to go TO the root mean
ing of the term. Deduction as an Eng
lish word is derived from two Latin
words, de" which means down from, :"
and "duco," which means lead" or
draw" Put the two together and you
have "deduco," which means lead
down from" or draw down from. :
Change the "deduco" into English and
YOU have "deduce." which means I
draw an inference" or. simply. i infer. +"
Putting it all together, deduction is
the act Of drawing an inference down
from or out Of some fact that is already
known To put 1t in still other words,
you are reasoning by deduction when
you conclude that ora tbing is true be-
cause it fits into something you know
to be true. That is, something that
obeys some law.
Take an example. IF an even num-
Der be added to an even number the
sum will be an even number" That's
known truth or law. A mathematical
expression of this law might be, plus
equals 4 (all these are even numbers)
From there on you may make lot OF
deductions, such as plus equals 9
| (all even numbers). They are all valid
deductions from the law
| Finally you may say that deduction
| is the sort of reasoning you do when
you apply general fact to particular
case. -

At this time, father and mother are

During the Winter great f1ocks of

Toast will toast better and
