What are they and how are they made to grow in such an odd and beautiful shape? They are the Camperdown elm, a variety of the Scotch elm (Ulmus glabra) of Europe. The reader will remember that we have discussed this Scotch elm previously and that there is an excellent labeled speci- men of this type of tree in the park to the northeast of the Capitol. Some have surmised that these Camperdown elms had been made to grow in their low and weeping habit by means of pruning or training by the gardener or by some peculiar means of grafting. But this is not so. It is their natural tendency to produce a formal, low, round-headed tree with peculiarly artistie, pendu- lous branches and branchlets, alike fascinating in bare winter and in y summer.

A good way to form the habit of thorough mastication is to begin each meal with a small quantity of ver dry food. In most cases mastication is a help to digestion. The only eir- cumstances under which it is not ad- visable to prolong the mastication are where there is an exe digestive acids in the stomach where there is pain after eating solid foods.

This reverting is sometimes confined to one branch or section of a tree, in striking nnd awkward contrast with the pendulous conformity of its brother branches. One of the elms in_Thomas Circle is displaying this feversion. The original type, the Scotch elm, is a large tree, growing to a height of 120 feet, while the Camperdown variety confines itself to a smaller size, Its beauty and development lying in another direction. Its leaves are similar to those of the type, three to six inches long, on short stems, broadly egg-shaped, with the larger | portion near the open sharp pointed, doubly serrate, rough and dark green | above, pubescent beneath. hyDix Thes Says, “Be Good to Your Wife, But Too Good.” not e Other to Become h Kindness her day: hen he “Do you think it is pussible went on to say: “I married crazily in love, and I devoted myself of money, and 1 indulged her ng to do but amuse herself; no cares, were 1 bore them. 1 never even told | ight not have to lift a finger to do! | | consider me, or that it was just as py as it was my duty to try to maké ations toward the home. and went to Reno to get a divorc ept that she was tired of me, and - d to he You can spoil a hus . and when you do they act precisely cross, and they throw away their d spank them into sanity rush to the divoree courts. and good ose only function in the home is to be women who are a perpetual burnt nd who stand over the stpve for hours dishes that their husbands demand! r fourteen hours a.day and who never e trips. while their wives never have a enough fun staying at home nursing remble and turn pale if they are kept home to open the door with a glad, arrive!

One mother has tactfully taught her little girls to help her in many s. There Is a wooden shed in her garden which she gave over fo the chifdren, but any small bedroom or attic would ferve the same pur- pose, if not too dark or without air. A search for odds and ends around the house resulted in several of furniture being consigned to the shed. Old curtafhs were cut and made over into small curtains for the win- dows, the little girls doing the hem- ming. A strip of old stair carpet was foumd for the floor, and a small, four-legged table looked very attrac- tive, covered with a flowered cretonne cloth. Their older brother made and put up two wooden shelves and also made wooden frames for some gayly colored picture posters to ornament the walls of the hut. On the shelves the children displayed various odd eups, sauce and plates, each piece proclaiming itself to be the sole sur- vivor of a former luncheon or break- fast set Dorothy acts as hostess, while Jane acts as waitress, bringing a tray from the Kkitchen, has be filled with good things mothe 1t is also Jand's duty sweep and polish, after Dorothy and finished luncheon.

Schoolmates are in- vited to “luncheon and housework, and sometimes when new dusters and tablecloths are needed they form a sewing party. They prefer the guiet surroundings in the hut for prepar- ing school lessons and for reading. This form of play teaches the chil- dren system and orderliness as well. Teaching Gooed Taste. “Billy, do_you llke these two colors together? Don't you think that pic- ture is beautiful? like best in the story I read to you today” By constantly calling a child’s at- tention to the beautiful, by appealing for, his opinion on this or that, by inviting his criticism and giving it serious consideration a mother can draw her child on to exp his own ideas, to form his own tastes. Beautiful melodies, lovely coloring, scenery, fairy ste poems, inter- ting ‘people and animals, when vinted out by a parent child's mind gradually on to self-ex pression.

Playroom Occupations. ‘When decorating a nursery or play- room,’' there should be no aim of greater importance than that of mak- ing it a room suitable for the, chil- dren’s use.- Above all, it should be a p];ymnm‘. S0 many nurseries appear to be designed primarily with the ob- ject of satistying parental pride.

Children love color gnd there should be plenty of it in the room where they pass so many hours, and sunshine is essential to the health of children.
