Not Too Early to Begin Making Lusc
CryingHabit
Difficult
To Stop
Removing Audience
Usually Ends the
Flood of Tears
BY ANGELO PATRI.

What can we do to make Betty
stop crying? If any one so much as
looks crooked at her she bursts into
tears. The brothers point their
fingers at her, and off she goes.
Somebody does not invite her to play,
and home she comes, roaring. So it
goes from morning to night until the
whole family is sick of her crying"
First thing, teach Betty to cry in
private. Don't scold; don't tell her
to stop, just shoe her quietly as pos
sible, into her room and tell her that
she must always 60 there, by herself,
and do her crying because nobody
wants to look at her in that state.
Insist upon that. Let her under
stand that she can cry just as much
as she wants to all by herself. If
there is no deep distress of body or
mind involved she will soon stop.
Crying heartily and with enjoyment,
demands an audience. Take that
away and there is no joy in tears.
Then, search for any other cause
for the tears. Is the child failing in
school, or at play, or in the home?
Is anybody teasing or hurting or
bullying her? Is she afraid of any
body or of anything in particular?
Is there physical defect like dis
eased tonsils, poor vision or hearing?
Is there any feeling of jealousy,
helplessness, failure? Correct as best
you can any such condition, but keep
strictly to the practice of privacy for
the tears.
Crying becomes habit that sticks
long after the original cause has
been removed. A baby is tired of
lying in one spot and cries. Some
body picks him up and comforts him
and he understands that crying
brings attention. Be careful about
giving attention that is needed, but
stop there. Some children cry in
order to bring punishment upon
some other child "He made face
at me-" He made fun of me-" Such
statements usually indicate that
spirit. Once the tears bring results
they are likely to be used again and
again and so the crying habit takes
hold. Isolation will usually cure it.
Listening to the quality of the cry
ing will usually shed light on its
cause If the child is in distress the
sound will tell you so quickly. If he
is frightened the cry tells its own
story. One knows to attend at once
to such crying. 1t is the prolonged,
habitual crying that seems to start
without cause and end only when
exhaustion ends it that gives us the
worst times.
Isolate them promptly and show
no sympathy, no matter how deep
your concern may be. Let the crying
cease before you do any talking
about it and let the first words be
'Wash your face and hands" Water
In quantity helps change the direc-
ton of the thought and check the
weeping. Then direct the child to
some work or play that will keep
his hands and, if possible, the greater
part of him, busily exercised. II
you feel you must talk about the
crying do it later, when it is we'll
past.

lighter types of fruit cake.
CHRISTMAS FRUIT CAKE IN
CANDIED GRAPEFRUIT SHELLS
Select large seeded grapefruit OF
good shape and color. Wash care
fully; break the oil cells by grating
lightly on a fine crater. Cut a slice
from the stem end of the grapefruit;
remove the inside, being careful tc
leave all of the thick part of the
peel, and being careful not to break
the shell. You will find small
sharp pairing knife useful in cutting
the fruit free from the rind-remove
as much as possible in this manner;
then, by using heavy spoon, the
remaining membrane and pulp may
be scraped from the rind.
Cover the shell with cold salted
water; bring to boil, cook about
10 minutes. Drain off water. Re-
peat the process three or four times
or until as much of the bitter flavor
is removed as desired. Cool shell
Put in a sirup made of equal parts
OF sugar and water. If slight wine
flavor is enjoyed, add domestic
sherry to the sirup, allow one table,
spoon OF wine to each cup of water
used. Be sure to use sufficient sirup
to float the fruit. Cook to 22O de-
grees Fahrenheit (very thick sirup)
Remove from sirup and cool. If the
shell is large, turn it over a glass to
shape.

citron, orange peel and walnuts. Fill
crystallized grapefruit shell with the
fruit-cake mixture. Steam one
hour; bake in a slow oven, 300 de-
grees Fahrenheit about 80 minutes
