 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

In the good old days there was 8 cruel little custom that made chil- dren eat at the second table, tip- toe in the presence of their elders and never speak 8 word, while at the same time they were put on public platforms to speak at church entertainments or were expected to get up and declaim at the school exhibition.
 Where this sudden courage was to come from no one cared or bothered about. Johnny was sup posed, I guess, to be two people, one with a mousy withdrawal from people and affairs, the other with sort of Websterian front that could talk the world down.
 We know better now. Not only are schools making a point of ex- pression, and training children in personal ease before crowd of lis- teners, but parents, too, are attempt ing to give their children a certain savoir faire in the presence Of guests.
 One Mothers Plan
 Not long ago I was at dinner with a family whose ten-pear-old daugh- ter was to be at the table. Before we sat down, the little girls mother said, Betty is so shy. I am trying to teach her to talk in company. Ii I give her a lead, do you mind If she occupies the floor for a while?"
 Grand" I suggested. And I'll help you along"
 So after a bit deliberately turn ed the conversation to the child and put up problem that required some thinking on her part. Also much talking.
 At first she was hesitant, but with a bit of encouraging she warmed to her subpect. She possibly said You see" too often, but otherwise l could see her brain racing to get the right words. :
 She did remarkably well, and l thought that her mother was very wise to enlist the aid of her friends in helping her girl to express her. self.
 Children won't be particularly careful of speech in the family circle. They seek better words with strangers, and concentrate on thought.
 withhold Criticism
 While a child is talking to peo- ple who are not intimates, the parent should reserve any criticism, until later. No child can bear being corrected before strangers.
 One of our most popular commen- tators, noted for his pure English and concise speech, gives the credit to his father who schooled him in pronunciation and expression from earliest childhood.
 The ease of speaking to a crowd, or to unfamiliar people, should pc attained in early youth also. The parent who can encourage both IS doing the child great favor, Tor every man or woman most likely will be called on at some time to address gathering of some sort.
 Ease is the word, ease and vo- cabulary and expression.

 Endocarditis affects particularly the lining of the interior of the heart, and also the valves When the valves are infected, they be- come encrusted with material which represent a response of the body to the attack. These encrustations, however, interfere with the action of the valves, so that many symp- toms appear.
 The heart, remember, is mus cular organ through which blood passes after 1t comes from the lungs, and from which it is pumped into the blood vessels.
 As the blood passes from one of the four compartments of the heart into another, it goes through valves which open and shut regularly so that the movement of the blood is forward.
 If, however, one of these valves should change in form because of disease or for any other reason, it will not close completely. The blood then will gurgle back into the cham Der from which it came exactly as water will leak back through de- ficiept valve. If, through his steth- oscope, the doctor hears a murmur, he knows that the blood is gurgling back in this fashion.
 The symptoms of endocarditis may at first be very mild. The vie- tim may feel only fatigue on slight effort, weakness, or digestive dis turbances. Naturally his lack of ap- petite and fatigue lead to loss of weight and strength.
 He is likely to appear pale and frequently develops anemia simply because of his disordered method of living and the continuous fever.
 Endocarditis victims invariably have fever, although sometimes in the morning it may be absent and sometimes may represent a rise in temperature of only a fraction of a degree.

 New York-All-white wood furni- ture is the very newest thing in the way of porch and lawn equip ment. The new pieces are so differ ent from the gaudy creations of other years that they will dress up your lawn or porch within an inch of its life.
 Replacing the old-time wicker furniture, the wood trend is not only more attractive, but far more practical. No more squeak ing, no warping and no more sag gaing. Sparkling and summery, the white pieces fit perfectly into natures background of trees and flowers, or into your own of gay rugs and accessories.
 One store shows three groups they call the wooden orchard group. The first set has a novel fruit cut-out design on the backs of the chars and settee. A table is included, and nothing could make a prettier picture than after noon tea served on it in tall white glasses decorated with fruit mott painted in brilliant colerS. Comfort in Iron Chairs
 Another has a graceful arched treatment on the table and chairs This set is little more delicate looking, in case you don't go in for substantial atmosphere. The third, called country gates" has plain design of wide cross pieces that resemble a rustic gate to a cottage for two.
 Designers have for some time been working on the idea of wrought iron furniture that is comfortable. That idea is now a realization, and the result is att tractive sets that have real com- fort achieved through a perfect curvature in the chair backs and seats. And they have originated a slight spring in the chair seats, SO that much to your surprise you don't bounce up in the air upon sitting, but actually sink down. Because these sets are slender ly constructed, they have a fra gile period atmosphere that makes them unusually appropriate for the lawn of homes designed on classic period lines. One group in partic- ular stands out. It is wrought iron symphony. Each chair back has a certain musical motif-a violin, trumpet, bells, staff and notes. If you like rustic touch, the new rattan furniture will more than please you. It is very sim liar to bamboo, except that it is solid, whereas the other is hol- low.
 Rattan sets are upholstered in a water mold repellent material. Striped or solid fiesta colors make them brilliantly gay. The water proof materials give the appearance of leather, but feel more like silk and are delightfully."- cool.
 Rattan Seats Are COlOrful
 The two most important single pieces of furniture are the semi circular settee, and the large chaise on wheels. The first is real- ly two settees pushed together, and can be used that way, or as two separate pieces. It is perfect to fill corner in the sun room, or to go around the sun dial or birth bath in the garden. It comes in green and black, yellow and brown and red and white.
 The chaise on wheels is large enough for three people to sit in at one time. The cushions are diffef- ent colored stripes, and the hood is a solid color.
 There is a single rocking chaise so minutely balanced for comfort that once you get in, you hate to get out. This also comes in juvenile size.
 Most of the tables have glass L. la al NI IANRn ERNRa

pale green candles was a part of the
work in which the women Of the
drst settlements in Massa chusetts and
Virginia excelled.
In the romantic records of Virginia
there may be found explicit direc-
tions for the making of bayberry can
dies. Since the only lights used for
some time were from homemade cam
dies, and since bayberries were to be
had by the bushel it Is quite natural
that the supply at the time was
SUFFICIENT to last over until the fol-
lowing bayberry-gathering season. So
We read:
Candles which are never greasie
TO the touch nor melt with lying in
the hottest weather; neither does the
SnuH OF these offend the Smell like
that Of q TalloW candle; but instead
OF being disagreeable, if an accident
puts the candle out. it yields a pleas
ant fragrancy to all that are in the
room"
Now that, as you can see, is a high
recommendation. And the odds and
ends of the bayberry candles were
placed in little cloth bag and used
to rub the rusty flatiron to remove
the roughness and discoloration.
This is still practice in many parts
Of New England today. No wonder
their rooms have such an enchanting
aroma clinging to them.
And now We come to the romantic
side OF the candle of bayberry When
lovers knew that they were to be
separated from each other for a while
the young lady made two bayberry
candles. BY special agreement the
candles would be lighted at the same
time. It was believed that as the
smoke curled upward like incense the
spirits Of the two lovers would mingle,
and therefore they were together in
spirit if not in person. This, it is
said, gave both parties much COM
fort.
