these new-found treasures. They are

| The children this mother talked Of
were both in college. They were liv-
ing as usual on their allowance, never
dreaming that only heroic sacrifice
made is possible. They were intelli-
gent, able young people, who would
gladly have helped in any way pos
sible had they known. Not knowing,
they wondered at the thought of the
troubled face of their mother, the
preoccupied air of their father. To
their questions, Anything wrong,
mother? Is there anything we can
do?" the reply was an artificial smile
and q brisk, "No, no. What makes
you ask such q question? Run along
and enjoy yourselves"
Young people Of sense do not like
to be treated that way. In the first
place they feel that things are going
badly without being able to put
finger on the sore place. They watch
and listen in the hope of finding some
thing they can understand and clear
up. Being silenced and pushed aside
as helpless children, too young to talk
sensibly to grown-ups is small COM
fort to their troubled minds.
agree that when the children are
too young to understand, or when
they are unable to help in the least,
theH is no sense In pouring trouble
in their spirits. But when it is so
simple thing as cutting down an al
lowance they ought to be told prompt
ly. They are entitled to that much
confidence and opportunity. They
would gladly, happily rise to the occa-
sion and do all they could. It gives q
son or daughter tremendous stimulus
to feel that help from him counts.
All that aside, young people cannot
be shielded from the troubles OF life.
They must face their share, and no
amount Of sheltering will alter that.
It may make their lot more difficult by
training them to be weak sisters and
wobbly brothers. Let them share in
the bad times as well as the good; let
them share the sorrow as well as the
Joy of the family, and they will be
the stronger and happier for it.
When father or mother goes to the
t,N ta1 fvyy IN
children that it is nothing. Let them
know what you know. If some family
disaster threatens, let the older chill
dren understand about it so they can
behave intelligently, be Of assistance.
Even though it be sympathetic silence
it will be spiritually comforting and
truly heartening.
Let us understand about this.
Young children, who cannot UNDER
stand and cannot help, are not to be
loaded down with the troubles Of the
adults, but to be shielded from them.
Children, whose hearts would be
troubled but who could do nothing to
comfort or help, need not be told un-
til telling becomes imperative. But
the older ones, who would understand
and who could help In any way, ought
to be told. They need to be told.

ton to inquiries from parents and

When transplanting seedlings
prepare potting soil in Q shallow

Baked potatoes look much
nicer if scooped from the shell,

salt, a well-beaten yolk of an

They not only look nicer. but

To keep flavor and juices in

extremely practical as well as pretty,
being made of material strong enough
to Withstand oven temperatures, and
retain all their glossy color and charm
at the same time. They are not ex-
pensive, and would certainly do worlds
for the appearance Of your table when
using up left-overs in some baked
form.
PERHAPS right now you have been
looking at the window curtains,
and the furniture. and the floors and
the general condition of your home
with sinking heart and discouraged
attitude. Everything seems to be
extra grimy and dirty this year-due,
no doubt, to the wet atmosphere Of
which we have been having an over
dose lately. Damp air has held all the
smoke and dust low, wilted the cur
tains and formed grubby film over
everything.
Wash the curtains or send them to
be cleaned-theyll never look like
anything again until you do, no mat
ter if the budget does squeal as II
its tail were stepped on. Limp, grimy
hangings do more to depress the looks
of a house than almost any other
factor. While the curtains are being
rejuvenated, have the windows washed
and wipe the outside Of the panes with
a little glycerine to keep the damp
film from sticking to them all over
again. There are many excellent
window cleaning preparations now on
the market which have simplified the
task enormously.
Wipe your walls down with rough
cloth tied over broom, and then with
soft, fluffy wall mop. Ceilings, too.
You'll be amazed at how much bright
er the rooms will look. Wash the
paint, of course. with waterless paint
cleanser, treating any painted fur
niture the same way. A light coat
of wax will keep them clean longer.

tables and other large fiat pieces
should be washed we'll with tepid water
