SPARE ROD
IF CHILD IS
NEICHBOR

One Of the favorite questions !
am asked Is. How can I make
neighbor children behave when they
come to our house" II seems to be
a common problem.
II Is not 70 hard when a child Is
old enough TO know better. Then we
can simply up and tell him the
rules Of the house and that he must
do as our own children do. He has
a pretty good idea when he has
overstepped bounds and unless he
feels fearfully outraged and Offend
cd for good reason he will be back
again tomorrow without q trace Of
spite.
I do not mean that little folk
are more likely TO get huffy when
the bouncer gets after them. Quite
the contrary. Yet they offer more
problems than the others because
they r apt to be worse offenders.
Besides. their mothers take offence.
