He can sit when propped up. but not alone. Is this a sign of rickets? 1Is there any way besides fresh air, suniight and cod liver ofl | to cure him of this"? Answer—You should make some | more changes in the baby's diet than fn the change from six to seven ounces or from a four to a three hour schedule. ' The baby is much under- woight and should have been well able to sit alone from 6 months on. He shows active signs, if not of | rickets (a doctor would have to ex- | amine him for this), at least of mal- nutrition.

Is there anything in Christ's life Answered by | which teaches that I, who have pros- pered by hard work and self-denial, should help my neighbor, who is in need because of his laziness, dissipa- tion and indifference to duty? Answer—VYes; it is mnotable that Christ relieved afflicted people with- out inquiring into the causes of their distress. His beneficence was not too curious about the sources of disease and undping. His admonition was: '‘Go in peace and sin no more.” His example teaches that those who are strong should bear the burdens of the weak and not please them- selves.

Mother Is in need of rest and quiet as much as father is. Don't forget that. Children are naturally noisy.

If they are nailing boards, the best man is the one who can make the most resounding Wwhacks. If they are jumping, the best jumper is the one Wwhose feet come down with the loud- est smack. Noise is the usual accom- paniment to children’s happiness. Grownups cannot stand, this noise, and grownups must live side by side With the children. There must be a compromise. The children are not to do thelr best in the evening, and grownups are not to be too impatient or too exacling when a noise happens to slip out accidentally. A coupie of accidents each evening should be overlooked. The general scheme is to be one of restrained energy. To accomplish this the energy that nature is pouring into the youngsters for her own most important reasons must be used up before night. The children must be allowed to romp in the open ‘air, work and play and wear themselves out in shouting and thumping and warring as the play- ground leader may devise, The en- ergy must be allowed its outlet or there will be no peace in the house and no happiness for the growing child.

HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “Currying Favor.” Many a man curries favor who would not think of grooming a horse; but take notice, ye climbers, .that is how it started! For, to groom a horse, to comb him and to rub him down, was in old Eng- lish to “curry’’ him. From the French word “faveau," which wmeans chestnut color, most chestnut horses were at one time in England named “Favel.” And “curry- ing favor” is a corruption of “curry- ing Favel.” The expression, In the sense in which we use it today, orig- inated in the case of a favorite horse, “Favel,” to curry whom well was a royal road to ingratiation with his master.

Will you kindly explain why the first day of the year is not Christ- mas, as the calendar dates from the birth of Christ? Answer—Christianity originated in the Roman Empire. For centuries after the birth of Christ the days in question were calculated from the founding of the city of Rome (A. U. C.) By this reckoning Christ was born somewhere about 754 A. U, C. Even- tually the church became strong enough to make her influence felt even on the calendar and a new dat- ing was adopted, the birth of Christ being used as the starting point. But this new dating affected only the year, not the names or the length of the months, nor yet, except where a special adjustment was called for, the day on which each month began. January, therefore, continued to be the first month, as in the old Roman calendar. The day (for celebrating the birth of Christ ' had, however, been fixed by custom long before this change in the calendar. » For astronomical reasons January 1 could not have been fixed as De- cember 25, and for traditional rea- sons the day for celebrating the birth of Christ was not made January 1. | might havi What Do You Know About It?

A nineteenth century woman, whom custom never staled, whose wit and wisdom, whimsicalities and gener ositles were the talk of Boston's upper circles through a long life, has passed on, leaving a rich store of memories along with her more substantial gifts to “the home of the bean and the cod.” . The entertaining story of Mrs. Jack Gardner's life, from the time she captivated Boston society as a girlish belle, is good reading on many counts, Not the least of these is the revelation of that inner something | that made her an indomitable per- gonage, instead of merely a rich and often eccentric woman. The little verse that sings of the two things that “stand like stone” amidst i “froth and bubble” en written for Isabella Stewart Gardner. “Kindness in an- other's trouble, courage in vour own,” was a part of her character. But we can all name men and women of whom this may be said. “Every incident in her life was an adventure,” says her biographer, and again, “There was not a drop of pes- simism in her nature.” Love of life, enthuslasm, intense enjoyment of new contracts, new scenes, fresh combinations of chal- lenging circumstances, gave this de- scendent of the Stuart kings both charm and power. Wether it was an original scheme of entertaining at a big dinner or musical, the pursuit of an ‘“old master” for her private art galleries, the chance to do a young musician, poet, or artist a kindness, or merely & new costume to be planned, into it she went with zest. The appetite for life mever deserted her. What “Mrs. Jack would do next” became the interesting question in Boston i if T had plenty of money and could go and come at will,” says somebody. But wealth and personal freedom are not the answer. The woman, who at 82 could write, still have energy,” was still the adventurous and romance-loving daughter of the Stuarts. In one of her v last letters, after long and weary invalidism, she wrote, as her final proclamation of courage and self-mastery: “Be as happy as you ean and appear more And that bit of advice, if widely followed, would mean more to those she left behind, than were the world- renowned art treasures bequeathed by Mrs. Jack Gardner for the edu- cation and enjoyment of the Boston public. ‘Wash the beets and bell until ten- der.

Leila Marsh, who has always been accustomed to idleness, is left without money. She finds her rich friends are of the fair-weather variety, and be- cause she has never been taught to do anything is forced to take a_position | as lady’s maid with Mona Kingsley, | @ very rich woman. In the family are Richard, Mona’s husband, and Barry. the son, a spoiled weakling. Mona amuses herself by humiliating Leila Uefore others, and because of her beauty Barry persecutes her in an- other way. Richard discovsrs this and is sorry for the girl. He learns that she is trying to fit herself for a better gition and offers to help her. Later discovers, to his amazement, that his feeling toward her is not platonic. In the meantime Mona is amusing herself with a young bachelor, Ronald Cameron. Leila overhears a conver- sation between them in which Ronald begs Mona to go away with him. CHAPTER XXV. The Diamond Pendant. Barry's next move where Leila was concerned was a strange one. It hap- pened on the same night that she had overheard the conversation between Mona and Ronald. She was moving about Mona's room straightening things up and busy with her own thoughts, when there came a tap on the door of the sitting room. Her heart leaped with the knowledge that it might be Barry, but with her head held high she went to the door and opened it. He stood outside and she was about to close the door in his face when he spoke. “I want to talk to you, I must talk to you. Please don’t refuse me.” Leila shook her head. “I'm sorry, ut there is nothing that you could possibly have to say to me.” ““You're wrong there. I've told you that T was sorry for the way I have treated you. You can't refuse to listen to me. Come down to the library for a moment, or let me come in here.” “That's impossible,” Leila said quickly. “But I tell vou I must talk to vou,” and with a quick movement that she had not been expecting, he pushed back the door and entered the room. Leila stepped back from him, her eyes very bright, her lips curved in a sneer. “I thought your apology meant nothing,” she burst out. “I might have known that vou couldn't be hon- est and sincere about anything.” “You're wrong,” he interrupted quickly. “You haven't given me a chance. You needn't be afraid of me. I won't hurt you. But I had to talk to you, and when you have heard what I have to say you won't be sorry.” | His manner was excited, and he spoke a trifle thickly, as though he had been drinking. Leila knew that he drank far too much. She had learned from Marie that he kept a cellarette in his room filled with bottles of various kinds, and the knowledge had filled her with dis- {diamond pen {in Something of her feeling must have been visible in her face, for Barry said quickly “Do you hate me? to vou?" “I have no feeling whate: you,” Leila returned evenly “Then give me a chance to make you care he persisted. ““That's I'm not bl'nd. .
