What are we to do with BunnyP
He is our only child. a lovely,
healthy, happy little boy; but Is
rapidly becoming an outcast because
he bites his playmates. He is not
angry when he bites them. He
throws his arms about them,
hard and bites them on the cheeks
It's terrible. We've punished him
again and again without results"
Bunny means no harm. His af-
lection bursts the dam and, in his
eagerness to express his delight
and affection for his playmate, he
bites him. That is all well and
good: but it doesn't help the child
who is bitten, nor help us to teach
Bunny not to bite.
Furnishing him bewilders him. He
intended to be loving. and is pun
ished for it. Instead of Furnishing
him severely, take him to one side
and tell him that he cannot be al
lowed to play with the other chill
dren because he loved them too
hard. His loving hurt. He must
try to be gentle and keep some OF
his loving for his bears.
Take him home and tell him once
more that his loving hurt his friend,
and they won't play with him when
he hurts them like that. Ask him
to show how he is going to behave
to his friend next time-using
Teddy Bear for friend. Have him
demonstrate with the toy animal or
the doll just how he is going to
greet his friends next time.

ing the toys and the family men,
bers and relatives until he gets the
idea. Lonely children, brimming
over with JOY and excitement at be-
ing with their playmates, are the
worst offenders. But, given time
and proper training, this soon
passes. It is not a demonstration of
meanness; just brimming-over love,
If your little one bites like this,
tell the mother of the other child
that you are trying hard to train
him so that he will learn how to
meet the other children properly,

cookie jar more often each day.
Keep a supply of homemade or
bought ones within easy reach OF
their short arms and you'll find your
jams. jellies and the large cake for
the family dinner will be safe from
prying fingers. Purchase = novel

that he or she can have what they
find inside. Some outstanding jars
have been stocked by local store.
Among the collection is one depict
ing Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater;
Jack in the Box: tner cne made
to resemble large kit tchen clock
and the cutest Of all is a small loco

are made of highly polished alumni

Old?
By Josephine L0wman

I suppose most women like to
shop, although many of them find
it particularly tiring. There are
some hardy souls who can stay
downtown all day. buying this or
that. looking at everything, going
back and forth, filled with indeci-
sion, but feeding their myriad de-
sires by looking, if not buying!
These women come home as fresh
as a daisy! I envy them! I always
fear I will be under the daisies be-
fore 1t is over.
Whether or not you enjoy shop
ping, most of the buying for home
and family is done by the woman
She must purchase the groceries
and see to the many demands in
clothing for her family and for her
self and must constantly seek those
millions OF supplies for household
upkeep and repair. A woman spends
tremendous amounts OF energy In
the activity of shopping.
Shopping is not as much fun as
it used to be! In some places there
still seems to be a scarcity OF sales
ladies and with so many people buy
ing so many things, this leads to
long waits. There are still many
shortages and once you find some
thing you really like, you are likely
to discover that it would take
first mortgage on the house to
swing the deal. These Illustrations
make buying even more fatiguing.
Since shopping takes so much of
a wolnan's time, she would be wise
to save energy by giving thought to
making this activity as easy as pos
sible. Here are a few suggestions:
If possible, do your shopping early
in the morning, before the crowds
are so large and while you are fresh.
You will enjoy it more at this time
and will " less likely to make
mistakes.
Make a list before you go. Put
down all of the things you wish to
buy on this particular trip. Out
line the stores in which you think
you will be most apt to find the
articles you want. In this way you
will not have to hesitate in each
store and will not have to backtrack.
A few telephone calls before you
go may save you much time and
many steps.
Do not let your desires wear you
out. Some women are exhausted by
the Illustration they feel when look
ing at things they want and cannot
have, while others get thrill out
of imagining possession!
Last, but not least, when you come
home, kick your slippers off, take
the following exercise and short
rest.
Exercise: Stand tall. Let your
arms hang from your shoulders.
Make circles with your shoulders,
moving them back for while and
then forward. Do not circle with
your arms (they are hanging) but
with your shoulders.

Hot weather calls for cool, quick
vays to do summer household jobs.
When it comes to ironing, both

tant, for no woman wants to stand

the chore. While other home
duties are often lighter during this
season, washable clothes for the
whole family mean an extra heavy
burden on the housewife. There is
a new electric ironer on the market
that will help greatly with this job.
This contraption folds up and can
be rolled to some cool corner OF the
house or even out on the porch
where you can sit down and enjoy
what little breeze there may be.
This ironer is equipped with a con-
venient sleeve-size roll that makes

The "one-knee" control is used for
all operations. thus leaving both
your hands free to guide clothes
through the machine. AS to slacks
they must be turned out much
neater than in previous times, for
men have come to wear them more
and more for both business and
casual social occasions. This ironer
eliminates the long steam pressing
that was required for sharp creases

a pair of slacks being ironed and il

The roses nowhere bloom so white
As in Virginia:
The sunshine nowhere shines so bright
AS in Virginia
The birds sing nowhere quite so sweet
And nowhere hearts so lightly beat
For Heaven and Earth both seem to meet
Down IN Virginia.
There is nowhere a land so fair
AS in Virginia:
So full of song, so free of care,
AS in Virginia:
And I believe that happy land
The Lords prepared for mortal man
Is built exactly on the plan
OF Old Virginia.
The days are never quite so long
Nor quite 50 filled with happy song

FLIGHT VS.. TRAIN.

from Mrs. H. H., Shuer SPRING.
Several days ago some one asked
about advice on travelling on q
train with baby. / would like to
ask this lady If she has considered
the idea of flying instead Of going
by train? I, too. am planning on
taking two small children on q
3,0O0-mile trip. In investigating I
found that what would take 4 days
by train would take about 13 hours
by air and at very nearly the same
price. Meals are included in the
fight by air and the hostesses are
wonderful in helping take care Of
the little one. In fact, he will get
special attention even though he
rides free. Please investigate this
possibility at least.

KEEPING CHILD COVERED;

From Mrs. L. B., Siluer SPRING.
For Mrs. j. w. G., Falls Church,
re keeping baby covered. Lay your
baby on his stomach on q baby
blanket so that the top OF the
blanket comes to just below his arm
pits. Fold the blanket around him,
bringing the right upper corner
over to cross over his left shoulder.
Pin this corner to the blanket IN
front about where suspenders would
fasten. Cross the left corner over
in the same manner to the right
front.
There was request some time
ago for a remedy for squeaking coil

Jelly where these big braces attached

(From Mrs. E. w., Bethesda.)
Woolens lose their softness, after
washing, due to the removal of all
oils by thorough washing,
etc. You'll be amazed at
results obtained by giving an addi-

added teaspoonful of pure, mild
soap flakes which contain fats.

To Mrs. L. L.: I, too, had a run
away problem, and with small
ones to co for, can appreciate your
dilemma. However, I'm afraid your
fence" idea is wishful thinking,
and unless you teach yourself to
train the child to mind, not from
force, but because he recognizes and
respects the wisdom OF his elders,
you're heading for the well-known
merry-go-round which makes moth
ers want to leave home.
