WHAT is the matter, darling?
Tell mother"
The mean old table hit me on the
elbow. 1t hurts, it hurts"
There, there, never mind. Go slap
| the old table. That's the way. Give
it good slap for hurting a nice little
girl like that"
Jennie slapped the table leg smart
ly, so smartly that it hurt her hand
and she cried again "It hurts me, it
hurts me, mother. You slap it for
me-"
There, you nasty old table, take
that" and mother slapped the table
leg with hearty enthusiasm. There
now, Jennie, I think that old table
will think twice about hurting you an
other time"
Yes, it will, the mean old thing.
You whacked it good, didn't you,
mother?"
Il certainly did. Now we will put
on our hats and go for nice walk
and we'll take Paddy? Won't that
be fun?"
| All smiles now Jennie got into her
things, called Paddy. who came glee-
fully wagging his tail and barking his
joy at the prospect of an outing. The
little group went into the park where
many of the neighborhoods children
were playing. Jennie joined a group
of friends and mother waited on a
bench nearby.
Soon there were shouts Of diScord
Jennie was screaming furiously and
Paddy was barking his best. Mother
ran to see what was happening.
She hurt me-" Sobbed Jennie, land
I Slapped her and she slapped me
back, she did,
"Oh, I'm so sorry you hit Marybelle
Jennie. That wasn't nice. You
mustn't hit Marybelle. I am sure she
didn't mean to hurt you, did you

Mother spied the balloon man in
the distance. See, there is the bal
loon man. Come along and we'll get

ed on two happy youngsters and the
balloons waited away the feelings of
injury, for that time.
A few days later mother stepped on
Jennie'S foot. Smack, and Jennies
little hand smote mother with sting
| Ing emphasis. Why. Jennie!"
We'll, didn't you hurt my foot?"
Whatever mother does is right to
the little one. Mother said to slap the
things that hurt so Jennie followed
that plan to the great astonishment
and diSmay of all concerned.
SlapS are to be saved for emer-
gency, and used only on the children
too young to learn to avoid danger
in any other way. Once a child reaches
the stage of reflective memory, where
he associates cause and consequence,
Slapplng is out. Even Slapping the
table is out. Children of such tenoer
age do not distinguish between the
person and the personified objects.
1t is wiser to teach them gentleness
and forbearance and a little endur-
ance under pain than to establish the
slapping notion.

pened that the book was valuable
one. Mrs. Griswold asked Janet tc
put it down. Janet made no move
to do so. Plainly indicating her un-
willingness to make scene, Mrs. Girls
void told the child why the book
should be put down. That led into
an argument which waxed more and
more bitter and long-winded. Finally
Mrs. Griswold spoke up sharply and
Janet answered her back just as
sharply. The sceen finally ended with
Janet going upstairs dragged by the
hand and protesting loudly that "she
would not go, that she hated her
mother, that she would take all the
books she wanted, so there"
Mrs. Griswold came downstairs and
apologized. Nancy felt that their
acquaintance was too slight to allow
her to talk plainly to the mother.
Had she done so she would have said,
II think you made the mistake OF
discussing the situation at too great
length. I don't force obedience on
my children, but there are times
when say do this" and they do it.
They know that arguing is not going
to get them anywhere. IF I am noisy
and argumentative it Is only natural
that my children should answer me
in kind. There is time when de-
cisive action, quiet but positive, is
needed. In my opinion this was one
of the times. I would have had
another book ready, or I would have
suggested some other activity quite
removed from books. And I would
have taken the book quietly, and quite
as a matter of course, out of the
child's hands. At least, that's the
way I manage my children"

Child Needs
Chance for
Initiative
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

BY MfRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
THE solicitous mother of one child
finds it difficult to manufacture
the opportunities to offer the child
practice in independence. With only
one child to dress, feed and care for,
the mother is inclined to do every
thing for the child and be annoyed
when the child wants to do for him.
self.
The mother Of several children has
exactly the opposite problem. She is
inclined to force independence on the
child too early. And the results and
the dissatisfactions Of too early inde-
pendence may be as unhappy as of too
little.
When the child meets new situations
he should enjoy measure of success
with them. He should be able to
button some of the buttons, get his
clothes of, If not get all of them on,
be able to carry some dishes, find some
objects for which he has been sent.
In word, his efforts toward inde-
pendent doing must have the reward
of success so that he is pleased with
himself and wants more opportunities
for being "big" boy, helpful" boy,
smart" boy. In such ways we lead
child toward independence gradually
and pleasurably.
Some children (not all, for some
children never get too much of them
wilt under early responsibilities be-
cause they are still too young to be
successful in their ventures.
We cannot make bold adventurer
out of little tot If, shouldered with
the responsibility of getting himself
to school safely, he has too many un-
pleasant and terrifying experiences
with traffic, he becomes a coward. He
is too young for this sort of independ-
ence, and it sours him against other
independent activities.
The small child who is forced to
make all his own decisions, who Is
always told, Nov you decide what
clothes to wear" may revert to in
fantile behavior, thus indicating that
he is too young to be bearing such
burdens.

BIG suit season means a still
n bigger blouse season, and it is
~ already in fun swing, for you
4 \ can hardly make your way
through the crowds around
the blouse counters some days, to see
what they have. But If you are an
early bird you will be rewarded by
finding some lovely and unexpected
things in cotton, linen, silk crepe, taf-
feta. chiffon, lace and organdy, and
the prices range from around a dollar
to s10.95 and up for the better dressy
blouses.
Having a good supply of blouses
makes your suit look like a different
frock every time you take your coat
of, and just knowing that you have a
nice fresh one ready when you need
it is big help, too. For Easter you
will want to have an especially nice
looking blouse of the type that we
have sketched today. The one at
the left with the fascinating name Of
conversation blouse" has no sleeves,
but the deep yoke outlined with
round swirls of narrow strips fagotted
together fits well down over the upper
part of the arm. The draped neck
line is becoming and it is slightly
fitted into the waistline. 1t comes in
pastel pink, aqua, white and gray,
and represents quite new idea in a
Spring blouse.

THE upper blouse with the candy
stripes in navy blue is a satin
striped white marquisette trimmed
with blue taffeta bows, and is very
smart with its pleated frills. 1t also
comes in other color combinations.
The sheer blouse is being shown very
conspicuously for dressy wear and is
usually trimmed with lace and tucks,
making use of the jabot in a great

these has soft, finely tucked scarf

Better for Child to Have Good Mother
Than Good Father-As Mother
Is, So Children.
Is, So Children.

or not depends upon their mother.
Their father may be scholar en-
titled to write half the letters of the
alphabet after his name, but if mother
is uncultured and has no interest in
literate things it will be only a
stray chick who will peck at the
grains of learning. The others will
agree that there is no use in vast
ing time studying when there are
so many more amusing ways OF enter
tanning themselves.
RUT if mother is determined that
ton they will be put through col
lege, no matter at what sacrifice tc
herself. Men are apt to say that
the education that was good enough
for them is good enough for their
children, but millions of mothers say
that their children shall not grow
up as ignorant as they are, and they
pay for their boys and girls college
degrees by making over their OLD
clothes, by skimping on the butter
and the butchers meat and by offer
ing themselves up as willing sacrifices
on the gas range and the washtub.
Mothers make their children's places
in society. It is women who do the
social climbing and pull their chill
dren up after them. It is women
who see that their children go tc
the right schools and meet the right
people and walk under the right
awnings.
IT IS mother who makes friends
= for her children, who opens doors
for them, who launches them In
careers and gets them married. Unless
father is rich and has social prestige
the family is socially sunk, but mother
somehow, gets her shoulders under
the load and holds the children In
their place in the sun, even If she has
nothing but little credit at the
grocery and grandmother's old silver
teapot.
Nine times out of ten what children
achieve in the world is due to theiI
mother. An ambitious mother has
driven more men to success than has
any talent of their own, or any in
satiable yearning they themselves had
for accomplishment.
TT WAS mother who began talking
L to them in the cradle about the
great things they were going to dc
in the world. Il was mother who
set the goal before them. Mother
who always urged them on.

Delphinium blue sheer crepe with
jabot edged with lace dyed the same
color is another Easter suggestion. A
very now-looking sheer blouse is oi
brown permanent organdy covered
with little white stars and full Of
ruf1es, one around the neck and two
across the front, just as perky as
can be.
One blouse that suggests bridal
trouseaux Is of eggshell satin with
narrow stand-up collar edged with
lace and graceful double rufie down
the front. White crepe with inser-
tions of wide Venetian lace is very
distinctive, and the copy Of a Main
bocher design in white taffeta with
cross stripes that resemble hemstitch-
ing is quite novel.

IF YOU are fond of handmade
blouses you may now have them
in fine crepe done in tiny tucks and
narrow fagotting in a semi-tailored
style. These are good in beige.
While you will need one or two
dressy blouses, you simply must have
lots of sports blouses. Here is where
the linen blouse comes into its own
You will find it in every color, and
often the dark tones use bright but
tons to eniven them - orange on
brown, and red on navy. A talon
fastening makes a smart front clos
ing on white blouse. Yellow linen
makes itself attractive with a tucked
front set under an outline of seal
lops, and white pique does it with a
front of cIoss-striped red and white
Now that polka dots are so popular
we find them in the linen sports
blouses, too, as well as in the more
expensive silks.
Matelasse crepe is good for plain
tailored blouses and comes in jacket
affair with a short ascot that ties in
side of the wide, fiat shawl collar.

CORRESPONDENT

A CORRESPONDENT asks:
" Which is it better for a child
~ to have, superior father or
n a superior mother?" A supe-
rior mother, of course. There
is no arguing that point. Few fathers
have much to do in shaping their
children's lives, but their mothers
make them the kind of men and wom-
en- they turn out to be.
OF course, every child is entitled to
two good parents and it needs both
of them in its development. But If it
should have the misfortune to lose
one of them by death or divorce it Is
better for the youngster to have the
mother left than the father. In case
one of the parents is a higher type
of individual than the other and
has more intelligence, stronger char
acter, finer principles, it is more i'm
portant to the child that this one
should be the mother than the father.
1t is better for children to have a
good mother than a good father If
they can't have both.
THERE are many reasons for this,
= the obvious one being that the
mother has more contact with the
child than the father. She is with it
constantly in its plastic period and
so she forms its pattern of life and
stamps indelibly on it her own man
ners and morals and habits and pref
udices and points of view. The father,
whose association with his children is
confined to a hurried good morning
and little desultory conversation be-
fore early bed time in the evening,
has little opportunity to impress his
ideals on the youthful minds.
Thus, whatever the mother is the
children are. If she is a lady her
children will be ladies and gentlemen.
If she has charming and gracious
manners so will her children have.
If she is dignified and refined in
speech and department, so will her
children be. But If she is loud and
vulgar and uncouth, If she yells at
the top of her voice and wears clothes
that scream at the beholder and tells
Smutty stories, her children will be
young hoodlumS, no matter how
elegant and polished their father is.
MO MAN can make ladies and
L gentlemen out of his children if
their mother isn't lady. but she can
perform the trick even If their father
regards good manners as the ear
marks of q sissy.

i a universal appeal and some
how manages to make them
flattering to all ages and types Of
women.
The model pictured in the sketch
is typical. A floral print, suitably
multicolored, is used. One sees the
style developed in many different
materials, the particular requirement
being soft, drapeable quality, so that
the ruff1es will hang gracefully. In
cottons the new anti-crease voiles are
a fashion of high importance this
year. The more so because of the
process they have been put through
to make them stand up against daily
wear without constant pressing.
Printed silks and synthetics of the
soft type are being used, too. Figured
silk crepon comes in Summer COL
orings and is in great demand
jacquard designs on silk fabric are
seen in the more novel weaves. This
type of fabric is high style in both
solid colors and printed tie effects.
For very slim figures glazed chintzes,
or printed taffetas may be INDUCED

fabrics do not drape, they do pro-
duce their smartest expression in crisp

are the ready mixed bread and CAKE
flours that bring delicious results;
the complete Italian spaghetti din
ners. including the grated cheese; the
aspic gelatine requiring only water to
perfect it: the savory consomme that
jells in the can, for Summer soups,
the varied hors d'oeuvres, packed
ready to serve in glass jars-and so
on and on, through the long list OF
fish, meats, fruit and vegetables avail
able to the hurried cook.
A MOTHER important aspect OF
these prepared foods is that they
do not spread their aroma to the four
corners of the small apartment while
they are being heated. The "one-
room m-bath th-and-kitchenette" house
keeper has to beware of all odorous
foods unless she wishes the memory
of her dinner to linger on indefinitely.
Onions, for example. are taboo-but
canned onion soup leaves no traces
of its presence in the atmosphere!
The neighborhood bakery is also a
boon to the business girl. Flaky rolls,
well-made pies, cakes and cookies Of
all descriptions may be carried home
in triumph to add the finishing touch
to a good dinner. And for breakfast
you can make arrangements to have
fresh rolls delivered to your door
every morning, all ready to be popped
into the oven for reheating.
Gelatin dishes may be prepared
before leaving for the Office in the
morning, placed in the ice box to set;
in the evening they are ready to un-

same method may be employed with
frozen desserts-especially If you have

The Old Gardener Saws :

The simplest plan to follow,
when starting seeds indoors, is
to use shallow boxes similar to
those which the florists call fats.
They are readily made from used
boxes from the grocery store.
They should be about two inches
high and small enough SO that
they can be carried about readily.
II long and narrow, they can be
set on the window ledge, although
square boxes are better in other
ways. There Is no necessity for
very rich soil in which to start
seeds. As a matter of fact, seeds
will sprout in pure sand, although
better soil is needed to nourish
them later on. Ordinary garden
soil or prepared soil from the
florist will be satisfactory, but If
that from the garden is heavy,
q liberal amount Of sand should
be added.
