Responsibility
ny MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

THE mother whose household is
small, who does her own work.
and can call upon her children for
help is in an ideal position to give
them training in responsibility. The
mother, all of whose work is done by
servants, has a most difficult task per-
suading children that they should
take an active part in keeping the
household machinery whirling, when
1t Is quite obvious the mother does not.
But all mothers. whatever their
status, are in no doubt of the neces-
sity for increasing the child's personal
sense Of responsibility, though many
are unsure as to how this may be done.
Children need constant practice in
meeting obligations, in diScharging
duties delegated to them, and in being
able to enjoy the sense of power and
delight and satisfaction which comes
from successful performance Of task
Mrs. r. B. c. says: MY children
are and years old and are happy,
bright children, eager for share in
the household tasks. But I do not
want to overburden them. Shall give
the 6-year-old an allowance? He
takes 10 cents to school for the bank,
, and then he has odd pennies given
him by friends"
When children are eager for house.
hold tasks it is because they love doing
them Work to them is fun. They
enjoy feeling their equality with you
| and their value in the household. In
addition to letting them help in any
| way they can, should assign both
of them some definite task each day
This is their training in responsibility
and the tasks should increase with
| their age, and ability, and time to
do them.
The subject of allowances is more
| fully covered in our leaflet, Manage
ment of Allowances" and this may
be had for a addressed, Scent

Eldred, In care Of this newspaper.
The 6-year-old should have reg

donated by friends should be saved for
this allowance. since he gets dis
| torted idea of the value of money
when it comes so easily from the
pockets Of obliging friends. The child
learns nothing if he spends all
though this may be first step-or if,
as in your case, he saves all. Spend

of this whole vast subject of money.

There is a tradition which states
that the progenitors of the Lewis

tell you that Bern has kept bears on

Fabric combinations are staging a

out in a dress for less chilly weather.
Our pattern for this model is so
simple that practically any one who

Your Summer frocks will depend
for much of their chic upon their tex

the influence Of the matelasse vogue.
Crepon weaves have a new importance.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"0yez! 0yez!'

THAT court proceeding is rare which
is not opened with the sonorous
"Oyez! Oyes!" announcing the
entrance Of the judge and bringing
everybody to order.
Sometimes the formula is changed
to Hear ye! Hear vel" instead Of
"Oyez! OyeZ" And it is in this
proclamation that we find the origin
of the customary call of the court
crier or clerk.
For "Oyez" is carry over from the
Norman-French in the Identical form,
meaning listen! In effect, it says,
Everybody keep quiet now and give
the court, the lawyers and the wit
neSses a chance!"
Originally, 1t was the town crier's
preamble to his dissemination of the
news through the streets of the COM
munity.

Do Wild Ducks Come From
Canada?
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.


HHERE is quilt block suggestion
- sent in by Renee Elliot from
Toronto, Canada. 1t is the wild duck.
1.-The lone duck is heading toward
the rice fields, where he will meet his
kind. He hopes that no hunters
gun will end his days, for he likes
the blue sky and the white clouds and
the flight to freedom.
You might use pale blue for the
blocks that are left plain white in the
picture. Then the duck may be in
warm rust and soft tan. I would
not make this top an all-over one. but
would piece enough blocks to cover
the top of the bed with plain blocks
of white put between. Do not swing
this block toward the diagonal, for
you will destroy the illusion of flight
If you do that. Put it straight and
then the final effect will be diagonal.
For a border I would use band
OF points in color combined with
points of white. Then I would have
band of plain blue and then another
band of points. Make the border
