WOMAN'S PAGE. Parental Responsibility for Fear BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Fear produces a most distressing sensation. It is like a dreadful giant to children. who, though never seen, can hold them in a grip of terror. | TROUBLF 1D TO GO CHILD WHE SHOULD NOT B TO HER MOTH IN sastrous of fears is that which # d feels toward overstern or unjust parents. Then the giant takes form, and he drives the little énes away from the verv ones who, of all the world, should shield and care for them. in olden times chil- dAren feared their parents much more than they do todav. In this a great step in advance has heen made. But if fear has heen driven out merely to Iet in contempt for parental authori the change has its disadvantages. So while fear should he lacking, it should mean increase of respect toward par- ents, not disregard for their discipline. After all. parental discipline should | help train children to be masters of themselves and unafraid of the train- | ing that comes when they are In the | school of life outside the home. Quelling Fear. One of the best ways parents can help children to overcome timidity is to be fearless themselves. Often we | hear a mother say that a child is afraid of this or that. and add. “Well. | I can't blame.her much, for T am ! afraid of the same thing myselt.” Probably it was because the mother | exhibited some trace of fear first that | the child became timid. And so we find that it is necessary for mothers | to quell fear in themselves If they ex- | pect to drive it away from the child's | mind. Ts it not fortunate that in help- ing others to overcome we are helped | ourselves? When we refuse to allow ourselves to he afraid because we want our children to be brave, we | overcome our own timidity. | Sift the Matter. Children often learn to fear their parents because of a lack of under- standing that results in punishments vhich may not be warranted or which the child at least believes were not. | And so it is important .to know the grounds for reproof before adminis- tering it. Naturally a child will shield himself when telling his story of any misfortune. He puts the best light possible on his actions, but in this he in exactly like an adult. And so par- ents have to sift the right from the wrong first. If a child finds he can “put something over” once, he will try and do so again, and he will lose a bit of respect for you in vour ability to see through what he is doing. Few | children feel abused when they are | punished deservedly. but fear will be instilled when the punishment is oversevere. Unafraid, Not Reckless. Heip a child to distinguish between | fearlessness and recklessness. A per- son should be unatraid, but never reckless. A lack of fear’is ennobling, hut to be reckless is belittling. It makes a person foolhardy, and then he risks his own life in foolish ways | and endangers the lives of others. A | reckless person takes a chance in a haphazard way. A courageous person | acquires self-control and good judg- | ment. He has overcome the giant | Fear. | 150 YEARS AGO TODAY t Story of the U. S. A. BY JONATHAN A. RAWSON, JR. Fireships Chase Foe Away. NEW YORK. August 18 1776 — The British warships Phoenix and Rose, which five weeks agn passed our batteries and sailed up Hudson's River 10 Haverstraw Bay, returned to. day and joined the enemy fl-et off Nta- ten lIsland. Their return was under circumstances which ae as pleasing to Gen. Washington as they are dis- | pleasing to their admiral, Lord Howe They came back because our people | mada it ton hot for them up the viver. They did not find the high lands of the Hudson a pleasant Sum- mer resort On the night of the 16th, two of our fire vessels. commanded by Capts. Fosdyke and Thomas, tried to set fire t6 the two Britishers. Fosdvke grappled with the Phoenix, but the fire did not spread to the warship as #0on as expected and she disentangled herself after 20 minutes with some | damage to her rigging. Capt. Thomas | dld no damage to the Rose, but ig- | nited her tender. which was entirely | eonsumed. He has hean missing since the angagement, and it ia feared that he was either burned to death or drowned. | The attempt was bravely made and thé enemy was badly frightened.

Their return trip was not ex- actly a holiday excursion. The Phoe- | nix was three times hulled by shot from Fort Washington, and one of her tendera was hit once. The Rose was wounded by a shot from Burdetts Ferry. Riflemen who were posted along the banks of the river gave proper attention to the ships as they passed by, but the sailors were kept 80 close under cover that it is not | known how many of the rifle shots took effect. In acknowledgment of these attentions, the King's navy was very generous with its grapeshot. with the result that they completely de- molished one tent Neither today's doinge nor the at- tempt to burn the ships on the 16th have amounted, to what would he called a large naval engagement. hut it is something-gained to have cleared the highlands of these ministevial mariners.

They aloné were threatening water communication he- | tween Army headquarters in New | York and the headquarters of the | northern Army at Albany and offer- | ing difficulties to the forwarding of | naval supplies to Gen.

Graywing was chuckling. Thers was no doubt_about it, Graywing was chuckling. Reddy had a suspicion | that he was being Jaughed at, and he didn't like 1t. “You've got one paw said Graywing. and chuckled more than ever. Reddy looked down. His forefeet resting on a roll of seaweed which had been washed up by the waves. Under one paw was a black thing. It was about 2% inches long wide, and at each of the four corners was a long, black, string- like thing. which was hollow. The unlike anvthing Reddy had ever seen.

Tomorrow’s planetary aspects are excellent, and continue so until after sunset. They then assume a rather forbidding nature and become over cast and adverse. During the day, you can, with every assurance of ulti mate success, devote your time and energy to the execution of any task in which vou are vitally interested, or the carrxing out of any change that, vour judgment. will conduce to a betterment of actual conditions. It will also prove to be an auspicious occasion for marriage, as happiness is forecast by the stars for all those who wed tomorrow. During the evening. recreative relaxation is recommended, in order to steer vour mind into pleas- ant channels, and away from the #loom that threatens. Children born tomorrow will, from a physical standpoint, pass through an erratic infancy. Th will undergo rapid "ups and downs"—one momeng causing relief: the next, anxiety. Reg ular habits and proper nutrition will do much to rob these Kkaleidoscopic episodes of any real alarm. They promise to overcome their early w nesses. and go through vouth up to adulthood with ever-increasing strength. In disposition, they will be gentle and tractable and easy to man age. Later on, they will give every evidence of dependability, and prov to be both ambitious and self-reliant. The opportunities theyv may have lost in early childhood. for study and im provement, will be more than coun terbalanced by the assiduity with which they will cultivate knowledge later on. If tomorrow is vour birthday, your character is a very determined one and, once you have set out to reach a certain goal, no one and no thing can restrain vou or hold vou back. Your mbition, self-confidence, observation and systematization of thought en courage you in. vour appointed task, and vou generally achieve, sooner or later, the object you had in view. The only elements that count against your success are self-created. You are im pulsive, and, at times, very quick tempered. If you would only learn to deliberate more calmly, and not allow vourself to become unduly worked up over trifles, vour work would become easier and your surroundings more congenial. : You take a great interest in making others happy. and are always anxious for those around you to share in any prosperity that may be your portion So far as your home life is concerned, vou will give your mate undivided love and devotion. Well known persons born on that date are: Willlam C. Langdon, clergy- man: Wilson G. Smith, pianist and composer. Harold Frederick, journal ist and author; Elsie Ferguson, ac tress; Bernard M. Baruch, capitalist. (Copright, 1926.) HOME NOTES There {s a natural affinity between rooks and water, and any rock garden gains much in beauty and sparkle if there is a little pool within its bor- ders to sparkle and glint in the sun light. This pool. built of concrete and supplied with water from the ity mains, is of frregular shape and hidden by mossy stones, so that it has a dslightfully wild and natural appearance. The | little Pan piping on his rock island at one end is an imaginative touch and makes a _charming reflection fn the quiet surface of the pool. This garden arrangement opens the way to three delightful gardening possibilities at once. Among the rocks the gardener can plant delicate Alpine rock plants. along the water's edge the semiaquatic plants will flourish and in the pool itself gor- geous water lilies can be brought into bloom.

GIRL asks me how she can tell whether a man will make a {lwcd hus- | band or not. Well, if T were a young woman confronted with the prdblem of choos. ing the man with whom I expected to spend the next 30 or 40 yvears. I should ecarefully observe whether he had, or had not, the:following ear- marks: g 1 should not say ‘‘yes' to the man who told me thefirst time, I met him that he fell in love with me at sight and that I was\the ideal ‘woman for whom he had been searching all his life. For I should know that he was a glib lovemaker who faocies his own line of sentimental twgddie, and that he will hand it out to every good. looking female he meefs, until he is a doddering old grandpa. Nor would I marry the man who was a kissing bug and a petter, for he is of the amorous type who will always be a petticoat chaser. and along about 50 he is liable to have a brainstorm and elope with a flapper. “Easy come, easy go” {8 true of love as well as money. The man who calls every woman “dearie” holds no woman really dear. T should want & man for a husband who felt that his love was such a fine and precious thing, a thing so valuable, that he was chary in bestowing it on any woman—not a man who threw it about as if it were merely chicken feed. & If T were picking out a husband, I would note carefully how much of a go-getter he was. He would not have to be rich. I would rather marry a young man who had started with nothing and worked up to a salary of 2,500 g year by his own efforts, than one whose rich papa made him an allowance of $26,000 a year, for I should know that the poor ‘boy was on his way to success, while the chances were that the rich boy was never going anywhere. Also, 1 should know that the chances were that if I married the poor boy I would likely be a rich man's wife by the time I was 80, and really needed money, while if I married the rich man's son, he would probably spend all the money his father left him, and we would be one of !the miserable, forlorn seen-better-days couples by the time we were old. No matter how fascinating he was, I would say “no” to the tempera- mental vouth who was always changing from one occupation to.another be- cause he could never find anything exactly suited to his taste. e e e INOR would I marry a man who had never been able to support himaelf or shown any ability to get along or who had never saved a cent. I should know that God had given me no ability to work miracles, and that I would never be able to turn a slacker into a hustler. For the man who lacks energy and push before marriage Is, going to lack them even more abundantly after marriage. If 1 were choosing a husband 1 would take a good. long, searching look into his eyes to see if there was anything green in them, and If I found him Jealous 1 wouldn't marry him. Better a million times to be an old maid than a wife who Is hounded by her husband’s doubts and suspicions, and who has to furnish an alibi for every hour of the day. 1 should know that I would soon come to hate a husband who had no faith in me, no belief in my honor and loyalty, and who kept me terrorized with dread of the scenes I would have with him every time I engaged in a conversation with an old man friend on the street or danced with a man at a ball. If 1 were picking out a busband I would observe how a man handles his money. 1 should pass up the man who was a waster and who lived beyond his means. I would not bind up my fortunes with those of the young chap who was buying a motor car on the Installment plan, for I should know that the wife of such a man spends her life starving off the bill collector. Nor would I care to tackle the job of trying to make a happy home in a house on which the mortgage was never lifted and where debt was a perpetual guest at the fireside. Neither would I marry a tightwad. I should say “nay, nay"” to the man who took me to the cheapest movies, when he took me out at all; who thought a sandwich a feast; who never remembered an anniversay, and who carried his small change in a purse with a Yale lock on it that took so much time to open that somebody else always did the paying when we went out with a crowd. 1 should know that such a man as that always doles out pennies 1o his wife, that he thinks clothes grow on her back, and that from the altar to the grave she has one long, bitter, losing fight with him about the money to run the family upon. IF I were picking out a husband I should observe a man's general attitude toward life. T should note whether he was fussy about little things; about his food, about the weather, about the inevitable little annoyances and dis- appointments of everyday living, and I should say “no" to him if he flew into a temper or went into a silent grouch every time anything displeased him. o e s e But if he took everything calmly and cheerfully and philosophically; if I could depend upon him always to show common sense and generosity and tact; if he jollied people along instead of cursing and abusing them, I should say, "‘Yes, sir, and thank you, too,” if he asked me to be his wife, for I should know that that sort of man is easy to live with and makes matrimony a glad, sweet song for the woman to whom he is married. WEDNESDAT. | —and responsibility. If T were picking out a husband I would pay the most particular at tention to the way the man treated other women. treated old women, and poor, shabby, T should observe how he working women. If he was disdainful of women; if he sneered at their opinions; if he thought they were only de. signed by nature to be men's playthings and slaves, 1 would have none of him, because I would know that he would be a tyrant and that when my youth and beauty were gone he wou! But if he were tender and chivalrous to all 1d also ga. women, as polite to the women who worked with him as he was to his hostess; if he were even more considerate to an old woman than to a young one, I would know that he would make the kind of a husband that keeps a woman thanking God she got him, and I would snare him to the altar if I could. g Oh, it isn’t so hard to tell what sort of a man will make a good husband! The earmarks are there for all to note who have eves to see them. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1926.) Our Children— By Angelo Patri Quarreling. Squabbling among the children tries a mother's patience to the limit. All healthy little brothers and sisters quarrel. They are born with differing dispositions and temperaments. They have not the tact and the understand- ing born of experience that enables us to get along smoothly one with an other. the vears. The only way they know of getting their own ideas to the front is fighting for them. That is the ancient way of the race. Accept that fact calmly and go on to teach the upper layer of civilization. The first step is to fix definitely once and for all the responsibility for the quarreling. Have it understood that the oldest child is responsible for | the battle, no matter who started it, no matter what the cause may be. The oldest one ought to have the mo: sense. and experience has taught me that | children are always willing to accept the burden of the older brother or, sis ter. Age takes precedence and jonor “You afe the oldest. The way to stop a quarrel is to be silent. You can always be si- lent." If then the oldest one is found hot! disputing with the others he is to take the penaity of the disorder. You and this older child decide some hour when you are on a confidential foot ing. Mix it with a bit of humor. Quarreling is to be laughed out of court rather than penalized out. It is to be considered silly. No bitterness That has Lo be gained throughg ai) Of course that is not always | s0, but one must have a starting place | follows the quarrel that is set down in that light. £ You and the older one decide that turning his jacket inside out—an old, old form of penalty for this fault,-is to be the form the penalty take: g it is a girl, her finger held on her mouth for 10 minutes will do. Do not punish any longer for either penalty. | Sometimes the boy turns his pockets inside out. or puts his p on backwards. You see the child is in a co-operative spirit, he wants to keep ' in the family and the penalty is the symbol of his recognition of his responsibility to the family. Then parental control shifts a bit, putting more of the personal respon- sibility for conduct and work on the ‘houmen of the children themselves. f they have been trained right they are readv now to help with their own education. They can understand a bit of the reason why they are to do cer- tain things and not do others, like | quarreling among themselves. That is why it is possible to take the oldest one aside and talk over the matter of this family bickering and put the onus of it up to him. That is why he grill ‘cheor!ully co-operate with you in"se- lecting some penalty to remind him that he has slipped. Parents, who have not dealt 8o with their children as to be able to tap this spring of loyalty and helpfulness. will now _know the true ejov of parenthood. Begirl early and adjust your teaching and training so that in time the child | stands alone, ready and free to help | those about him. and you taste the real jov of family living.

A Terrible Revelation. Edith Maltby showed not the slight est bit of surprise when she learned that Ronny intended to drive Mona to the eity. No one evinced any suspi cion with regard to it, and Ronny had made plans to leave shortly after X o'clock. That would give them plenty of time to drive on to Ronny's place which was about an hour's ride out of the city. At about 8 o'clock Mona came down stairs ready for the trip. Excitement had given her a starry expression that | enhanced her heauty. and she had never been loveller.

If through no other medium than the movies, we are familiar with the short, mincing steps of Chinesa.wo. men and theeir very tiny, stunted feet. We know, of course, that it has been a national custom with the Chinese to stunt the feet of their wom- en by binding them at birth.

Centuries ago, when the barbarian hordes from the North swept down upon China, they enslaved the women of the conquered nation.
