Treatment of Disobedient Child BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Diverting a child from doing or con- tinuning to do something that is bad for it, dangerous or unwise, is one of the best ways to make him forget D ONE THING AND DIRECT IT TO OTHER TAKES PATIENCE ON HIZ PART OF THE MOTHER. and lose interest in the undesirable. To insist on_ his stopping by contin- ally reminding him not to do a thing, < but to keep the very thing before his mind. To threaten to punish a child for doinz the thinz, whatever it may be, also impresses the thing on his thoughts. Help him to lose inter- est by ziving him something more ab- to think about. This is the most successful course to pursue, There are mothers who feel that ohedience is not sufficiently impressed on a child unless he obeys commands Just hecause they are commands. Ohedience and even hlind obedience is expected and deman®d. This savors of the unreasonable, and a child is quick to realize it. But let the child once appreciate that a reason wiil be ven if asked for, even if not teld at the time, then his attitude is changed. Some New Idea. But this does not alter the fact that distracting a child's attention is an excellent method of getting him to refrain from doing what would be bad for him. ¥ill the mind with ideas that are interesting, attract attention to something else, and the child will respond to directjons. + A Wise Tot. T once neard an amusing instance of this, reversed. The child wanted to get the mother's attention turned into another train of thought. She had not been guided all the years of her life, even {f they were not many, by this method without realizing what it was, as this incident indicates. The mother used to call the child’s at- tention to something going on out of doors and which could be seen {rom the window. The motheg was plan- ning somet| did” not appeal to the child, and she turned to her mother with the most persuasive of smiles and said, in just the same tone of voice used at such times by her mother, and said: “Look, mother, see the pretty kitty!" The mother looked at her child and laughed merrily. She was wise enogeh, also, to let the matter drop for "the time being, and when she did resume it she had led the child's thoughts up to it gradually by an- other set of mental processes, and was successful.

When thoughts are disturbing and there is nothing to be gained by keeping the mind on them to find a soluffon, then stitu- tion of other and more agreea thoughts will be fourid as effective in restoring peace of mind to her as to her child.

A. BY JONATHAN ‘War Problems Multiply. NEW YORK. May 1776.—The struggle for independence has become three wars in one. Reports received almost daily at Army headquarters here from Army camps, committees of and colonial bodies are making rer all the time that the King's armies compose but one of the hostile forces which the Army of the United Colonies, and the militia must con- aquer hefore order can be restored and freedom from ministerial oppression assured.

It said to Reddy just as plain- ly as Jimmy could have said it in words, “If you don’t look out, Reddy Fox, yvoull be in trouble.” Reddy understood it perfectly. He did his best not to show that he was afraid. In every word he said and every move he made he was most polite. “Were you on Reddy inquired, moving along toward It most matter-of-fact way. your home K Hlasr REDDY TURNED AND WENT RACK DOWN THE LITTLE PATH.

He hoped to get & chance to catch Johnny Chuck at a disadvantage. ‘He had no desire to engage Johnny in a fair fight. PBut when Johnny Skunk stepped out he changed the whole situation. Jimmy Skunk's big plumy tail is a sort of a danger signal to those wWho know Jimmy. As long as that tail hangs rather low, there is nothing to fear from Jimmy Skunk. When that tail begins to go up, then it is time to watch out. ¥rom the moment that Jimmy appeared Reddy¥ Fox had kept his eve on that tail. = Jimmy ad- vanced, Reddy hadbacked away.

If there is anything I dislike, it is to have any one who has an appoint- ment with me, late. , “I won't be late. There's no hurry.” He was edging around so as to get behind Johnny Chuck. You see, he thought he could take Johnny at a disadvantage and he was willing to run some risk for the@ake of doing this. Johnny Chuck seemed so Intent in watching Jimmy Skunk that he didn’t appear to be watching Reddy at all. Jimmy Skunk saw thls and he grinned to himself. He knew just what Reddy was hoping to do. So Jimmy pretended to notice nothing and gradually lowered his tail. Just off 1o one side lay an old sheet of bark. Jimmy at once thought of fat beetles. e turned his back on Red- dy Fox and ambled over to that piece of bark. He turi it over. Sure enough, under it wére two fat beetles, Now, ordinarily Jimmy Skunk moves slowly and some people have the idea that he cannot move quickly. They should have seen him with those two fat beetles. As quickly as you could wink your eye Jimmy had a black paw on each fat beetle. You know he has a liking for fat beetles. Reddy Fox, meanwhile, had gotten somewhat behind Johnny Chuck. Johnny was watching Jimmy Skunk catch those beetles. Reddy saw this and also saw that he might possibly jump on Johnny Chuck hefore Johnny could turn. What Reddy didn't see was that Jimmy Skunk was watch- ing him from the corner of an eye all the time. .Just as Reddy gath- ered his feet for a swift jump Jimmy Skunk abruptly turned and ran toward Reddy, and Jimmy's tail was high over his back. For a second Reddy didn’t move. Then he grinned. It was a sickly sort of grin. “I'm sorry to have to leave you so soon,” said Red “but I've just re- called that Mrs. Reddy told me to pe early, and I really must hurry in order to keep the engagement. Good-bye, “Jimmy. Good-bye, Johnny. I hope I'll meet you again soon.” Then, pretending to be very digni- fied, Reddy Fox turned and went back down the little path. Jimmy Skunk looked at Johnny and grinned. ‘Red- dy's engagement was rather sudden, don’t you think?” said he. Cottage Cheese Salad.

Shall She Leave Home to Iiscape Mother’s Questionnaire? D AR MISS DIX: Fifteen years ago I married a widower with three children 'who were mere babies. I have reared these children as if they were my own, shared their. joys and sorrows. I loved them devotedly, and was sure that’ they loved me. But this worries me: My friends and neighbors tell me that I am doing myself an injustice by nursing them when they are sick, sacrificing myself in order that they may have things, and working to make them a happy and comfortable home. They say that when these children grow. up they will marry and have homes of their own, and forget the stepmother who loved and reared them. Is this true? A STEPMOTHER. Answer: The friends and neighbors who tell you such lies are a set of malicious mischief-makers to whose evil counsel you should pay no attention whatever, -Anybody who would try to poison a stepmother’s mind against the little children who are in her keeping, and keep her from mothering them, is possessed of seven devils, and the least you have to do with such a one the better for you. Believe me, my dear lady, when T tell you that the very noblest thing that any woman can do in the whole wide world is to be a mother to a little 'nmlherll‘ls.! child, and nothing else she can do has such far-reaching influence or good. . It isn't easy to he a good stepmother. In fact, it is one of the hardest jobs in the world, because, for one thing, it takes a big-hearted woman not to be jealous of her stepchildren. And, for another thing, the stepmother has not i the superhuman patience which God sends as a. consolation prize with every baby, thus enabling a mother not to be fretted at the faults in a child that drive other people crazy. And still, for another reason, the children them- selves are always suspicious of a stepmother and resent her efforts at controlling them. So when a woman has done what you have done, when she has been a stepmother who loved her stepchildren and treated them as if they were her own, who has won their hearts, and made them a happy home in which they could grow up to be fine men and women, she has achieved something great and wonderful, something for which she deserves a medal in this world, and for which she will surely receive a crown of glory in the next. So be proud of yourself. Exalt your work, and tell those who tr @ vou that you wish to hear none of their evil croakings. Of course, vour stepchildren will leave you and set up homes of their own when they are grown. That is what all normal young people do. That | is what they would do if they were your own children. It is what you would { want them to do, hecause you would know that that was best and happiest | for them. But don’t for one instant believe that they will forget you, or cease to be grateful to you any, more than they would to their own mother. As they &row older and have children of their own, they will appreciate more and more what you did for them, and they ‘will honor you even more than they would their own mother, because you did for them all that a mother would do, yet they had upon you none of the claims that a child has upon a mother, % DOROTHY DIX. i e X: I am a stenographer 19 years of age. and pay my hoard week to my mother.

There are at least a hundred good reasons why girls should be careful. te control their tempers and refrain from scenes, Still we're continually hearing sad tales of fair maidens who “just couldn't help it—he was so mean it was enough to make any girl mad.” It's perfectly natural for all of us to get angry ever so often—it doesn't do us much harm to get a good mad on when there's a real cause for it. But no girl in the world ever ac- complished anything by losing the old temper. On the contrary, she very often defeats her own object by flying off the handle. Elsie and Alfred hadn't known each other very long, but they were getting on famously, and Alfred had asked that his lady fair set aside every Thursday evening for him. Elsie was delighted, and gladly passed up other dates to give Alfred his special evenings Then, one night as they were walk- ing home from the movies, she in- quired, idly: “What are we going to do Thursday, A1? I'd like to know ahead of time.’ “Oh, T forgot to tell you,” he an- swered hastily. “I've got a date for this Thursday. Got to take Dora to A dan Almost forgot to let you know:. Well, our little Eisie hit the skv with a loud crash. She saw red in eight different shades, and she pro- ceeded to let loose her mighty rage. Fairly shrieking with anger and hurt pride, she told Alfred just what she thought of him. Her arguments were fairly sound. &he was right after all. Alfred had plaved rather a dirty trick. But do you think he listened for a minute to the truth of her vord: Not he. He spent all his time vainly adjuring her not to make so much noise. “Every one for Liocks. can hear you,” he assured her. “Don’t yell so.” Elsie was much too peesved to listen. A girl in a temper is not a pretty sight, and Elsie was going full blast when something in her hero's face stopped her. He wasn't looking apelogstic or conscience-stricken. lle was looking downright disgusted and annoved. “T didn’t know you could act like that,” he told her stifily. “Yeu've made a public exhibition of vourself. Good night!” He left her at her door with a curt bow. Then, of course, she was panic- stricken. Krom the expression of his face she knew he wasn't Liuffing. He vas thoroughly disgusted with her actions. She realized she had to zet him | back some way, and fo it was K instead of her erring boy friend whn wrote the note of apology and asked | for forgiveness. Whereas, if she'd kept -her temper —if she'd got mad in a cold, digni- fied, touch-me-not - manner-~he'd have had to crawl back and own that he was in the wrong—which he un- doubtedly was. Bv losing control of ourselves we put ourselves in a had light and weaken the strength of onr own ar- Suments.

Somewhere in western North Caro- lina: I am writing to readers in Wash- ington from the field. Not the field of battle, but the peaceful field as botanists understand it: the field of exploration and delightful discovery. For the nature lover there is less of a vacation from his hobby than there is for a journalist from his work. For nature does not allow her students rest. In the full tide of Spring, when, it would seem, no place could be more beautiful than Washington, I have succumbed to the temptation to travel and see new sights; Spring fever is here, and it has proved to be a fever of_restlessness. Here in these low. forested moun- tains I find the world different from the delightful Spring world of Wash- ington only in a matter of quantity. For every flower in the District there are 10°of the same sort here: some- times there are more kinds of a given family here than 1 should find home; hut at every step I am pleas- antly reminded of Virginia and Mary- land. Tn nothing does this country so excel as In azalea. For our two Wash- ington species, the pink azalea of the upland woods, and the swamp white lea. T find six here. There are the two Washington flowers. two more upland white flowers, the fragrant Vasey azalea. and, most wonderful of all, the flame azalea. In dark moun- tain woods its tongues of color shoot out incredibly, brick red. deep yellow, and most of all, bright orange. " Amer- ica is the heart of the kingdom of azalea, and these mountains are the capital of that kingdom. = 1 find that the mountaineers do not know it by the name of azalea, hut call it honeysuckle. The sweet fr: grance of the flower justifies the com- parison. not to mention the rich nec- taries, and the hum of the hees amonz the flowers. 1 see tenderfeet coming homeé with bunches of faded azalea in their hands, just as they do at home. They have yet to learn that azaleas promptly revenge themselves on any who pick them. Within half an hour the beautiful petals go limp, and slip pathetically off the flower. But though at home azalea stands in real danger of extermination by picking, with such a generous abundance does it scater its beauty in these mountains that, though picked and picked, it seems never to grow less plentiful. like the magic flowered sflk in the Japanese fairy tale that grew longer the more you cut from it.
