cannot be, eclectic as friendship is.
We have a dozen friends whom we
love because of some one particular
quality and for the sake of this
we overlook their other attributes.
For instance, we love one man
because he is good and true and
honest, in spite of the fact that he
is tiresome. We love another be-
cause of his wit and charm, al
though we know him to be unre-
liable.
We love another for his friend
illness and generosity, although his
tactleSSneSS gets on our nerves.
But we can't do this in marriage
We want our mates to supply all
our needs and not leave us to shop
around among other people to find
the championship We crave and
The qualities we admire.
What can we do about it?
Nothing. Marriage is bound to be
gucsswork because we do not know
what sort of a man or woman the
boy or girl we marry is going to
develop into, nor do we know what
changes life is going to make in us
and what kind of wife or husband
We are going to need.
And that is the tragedy of mar
riage. and why our love dreams so
seldom come true.

Never Use
Baby Talk
To Child
Impossible for Him
To Learn Properly
Without Example
By Lettfce Lee Street,

/ IL y LttItte ice DfFt
If your baby is 3 to II months
old and he suddenly emits an ex-
plosive and triumphant "da-da!"
or "mama!" you have every right
to rush to the phone and shout
the glad news to his father.
If teasing friends say that you
are boasting that your baby is smart
you can tell them that indeed he
is. He is just right, and beginning
to initiate the sounds he hears.
At Is months, listen to the gay
conversations he has with himself.
He is obviously copying grown-up
talk. Isn't it amusing when you
recognize your own tone Of voice
or an intonation in the baby's
chuckling imitation of sounds that
reminds you of your husband?
Soon he will form brief sentences
of two or three words and make up
names for familiar objects, joyful
in discovering that he can COM
municate his needs to you. Real
talking generally starts at about
20 months.
You can help him a great deal
by repeating bothersome vowel
sounds slowly and distinctly. He
is keen to learn, and he will try
hard If you encourage him by talk
ing to him and asking him ques-
| tions.

The little girl observed her admirer
through puzzled eyes. With the
unmalicious and dignified honesty
| that helps to make children 80 en-
dearing, she asked, 'Mummie, what
does the nice lady mean?"
Apropos: The first rule in teach
ing your child to speak is never,
never to use baby talk. If you do,
how on earth can you expect him
to learn to pronounce words cor
rectly?
Occasionally, such as when a tiny
child is trying to tell you something
that is of immense Importance to
him, it is wise to speak to him using
only the words in his own limited
vocabulary This will give him con-
fdence because he can understand
you and he will feel secure that
you understand him.
Do you give patient and sympa-
thetic thought to your little child's
active mind? Do you take the time
and trouble to answer all Of his
questions fairly and briefly a. you
can, and make the effort to word
them UNDERSTANDABLE?
If you do, you will be rewarded
by child who will talk at an early
age in long, amusing and well-pro'
nounced sentences.

tivenesS goes unanswered will fee
