first, and then at longer intervals
l gave her pennies and showed heI
how to put them in. II was a great
game. Then, when she was three
years old / took her to the grocer's
for the first time, at an hour when
he wasn't busy, and, holding her
hand, went around the store select
ing a few foods that she knew, talk
ing about them to her. When l had
the things / needed, lifted her TO
the counter SO she could see me pay
the man all in pennies. Pennies
mean something to her. She had
seen them many times and had play
ed game with them. Here was a
new game: Give pennies to the man
and he win give you spinach and
oranges and eggs.
We had played this new game for
several months, when one day,
while we were at the store, she ask
ed for an apple. / agreed but said
we would have. to go home for some
of her pennies. We made a special
trip. and she gave the man her PEN
nies by herself and was given the
apple in a bag to carry home. What
a day that was for my little daugh-
ter! She was so delighted to do her
own shopping and to pay the store
keeper. herself. A dozen times that
day she tried to coax me or her
daddy to 'go store" The next day
she asked for pennies before we
went to the store. For the first week
or so let her have all she wanted
from her little hank but now she
knows that she has a limited supply
and is beginning to understand that
have, also. She knows, too, that
pennies can be saved until you have
enough TO buy three Of anything so
you can share with Mother and Dad
dy. And / feel that we have a sound
foundation for the future. Besides
this, she behaves exceptionally we'll
in any store and helps me at the
grocery by suggesting items for din
ner. She is interested in shopping,
so OF. course we have no reason for
scenes.

When my little girl was still a
baby we had a neighbor with four
year-old boy whose name was Rob
bic. He was so naughty in the stores
that more than one of the nearby
merchants had actually asked his
mother not to deal with them. Rob
bic helped himself to fruit, tipped
over piles of produce, or annoyed a
customer every time he went to the
store. He was. spanked, scolded and
often yanked around by one arm as
the mother walked from counter to
counter. AS l happened to shop at
the same time she did, saw this
performance day after day, and It
worried me.
There was another child who
came into the stores frequently.
This one regularly sent up q wall
for "cakies," but as soon as he was
satisfied he behaved as we'll as any
one could wish. Considering the mat
ter with reference to my own child,
/ didn't like his mothers method
any better than that used by Rob-
bie's mother. To begin with, eating
between meals is acceptedly bad for
the digestion. Then think OF the lln-
desirable habits and attitudes the
boy was forming.
So l began to study the situation.
why are children naughty in a
store?' asked. That led me to ques-
ton myself further: DO You like to
market? 2? tlYes, ! do" well, why do
you?' The answer was simple, "Be-
cause as / shop / plan meals and
compare prices" What Is there in
a grocery store for very, little
child except fascinating jars, cans
and boxes which he is forbidden to
tOueh?" l saw that my problem was
to think up some scheme to make
my little girl understand shopping.
As the first step, when she was
two and a half years old, gave her
a penny bank, and every few days at
