Yet how many parents ever speak to their children about the {mportance of learning how to get along with others, to say nothing of teaching them how to furn the trick? A ND there's the matter of temptations. Most parents act is if temptations cease to exist if they only ignore them. Or at any rate as if thelr children couldn’t possibly be assailed by them. « e e Not one father in a thousand ever commences teaching his sons while they are still little boys about the dangers of what we euphemistically call wine, women and song. Of course, the father preaches a little cut-and-dried sermon about being sober and moral, but he doesen't tell the boy that at every turn of the road the demon rum and the scarlet woman are waiting to grab him. And he doesn't show the boy how to avoid them. He doesn't put the fear of a wrecked stomach and wrecked nerves into him. Nor does he point out to the boy the shaking old alcoholics and the doddering old paralytics and the prematurely senile 0ld men who are reaping the harvest of their wild oats. And what mother tries to teach her daughter why she must not klss and pet, and permit familarities from boys? Of course, mother tells daughter that it isn't “nice” to do these things, and daughter laughs at her, because of all things in the world, she least desires to be & “nice’ Victorian young lady. And o she goes her way to destruction, because mother doesn’t teach her that her danger les from within and not from without, and that it is not men she must protect herself from, but her own passions. HEN there is tf matter of money. How many parents ever teach their children how to save money, and how to spend it wisely and well. If the family is wealthy, or father makes a good incorie, they are brought up to be spendthrifts. They throw their money away so recklessly it has become a proverb that in this country it is only two generations from shirt sleeves to shirt slesves. There is no commoner tragedy among us than that of the helpless, penniless old re;“ and women who have let the fortunes that they inherited slip through their fingers. Few are the children who are taught to save and deny themselves the indulgences they want at the minute in order to have the bigger thing later on. Yet their whole prosperity depends on this. “If you have the ability to save, you will succeed,” James Hill, the great rallroad builder, told a young man. “If not, you will fail.” Every one knows that for an absolute truth, yet parents indulge their children in things they cannot afford to give them, and let them spend every cent they can get their hands upon. Working girls learn the value of money by earning it, but very few girls Wwho are supported by their parents ever have ‘an allowance or are taught anything about handling money. Mother buys what they need, or they have a charge account, and the first money of which they ever have the spending is their husban And it's ignorance oftener than intention that causes them to waste it and indulge in senseless extravagance. s s . A how many parents ever teach their children how to be good husbands and wives? Father knows that a man’s happiness depends upon his wife being unflant,ndln( and sympathetic and reasonable and a good housekeeper, but he doesn’t try to develop these qualities in his daughter, nor to teach her hovy to look at things from the man's standpoint. Mother knows that o woman'’s happiness in marriage depends upon having e tender, generous hus- band, who will pay her little attentions and keep up his love-making, but she doesn't impress the importance of dojng these things upon her son. So they trust their children’s future to luck, instead of giving thi reliable road map that would show them how to avoid the bos?y nl'nce: Tn: the hairpin turns and the bumps over which they may wreck thefr lives. And finally, the great majority of p_soplc turn their child: wvrla'r:lr.!;h?.utt&m t:lch‘(’?.’n;cnzhhn: to make a living. el em stumble into the first job that 1¢ - sldering thelr fitness for it, without iving them any specisl training.jor t m them to fallure, w! e ereduony then en a little expert knowledge would have So I ask again, how are you educatin, you fitting them for the world in which ti your children for lite?

Women forget that breakage must be added to the cost of doing business, and that is why china costs so much to sell ani buy If your store won't permit returns of chinaware there is an excellent reason. One clerk told me that her store would permit returns only at the sender’s risk. Hardly a return comes in without at least half a dozen pleces chipped and cracked. The custome pays for her change of mind. Few take the care in packing that stores do, and breakage is inevitable. Some women think that open stock means that a store can carry china in showed her some ware and asked her Never risk on skin any but true shopping in general. Nobody knows.cups and saucers separately. For example, spend e day in the china | breakage is so great that few stores : could not afford to keep it in stock .any longer. The woman was indig- nant.

Most stores find it impossible to bu; ‘There- fore they cannot sell them aeparately. t is difficult to explain the situation, however, to a woman who has half a dozen saucers and no cups! One poor clerk admitted that she had been sent 15 times one week by insistent custom- T8 to her buyer's office to have her information confirmed. Oversuspicious shoppers lighten the day's work for clerks. One shopper iin ‘my presence wanted to know how much bone there was in bone china. | Of course, every company making bone china uses a different quality and keeps its formula a secret. However, clerks are held tightly in check by the “'shoppers” employed by stores, who report slackness, discourtesy and lack of stock knowledge.

They have the ad vantage of offering infinite varlety, which is no small one when a child takes soup every day and gels very tired of the same kind. 1f any one is not “sold” on the idea of vegetables for children, per- haps the following reasons will make her an advocate of them for life. They c#ntain valuable minera which are especiully necessary for the growing child from 7 months of age on. The infant's body at birth contains a store of iron that lasts usually about 7 months. After that it needs a new supply in its food, and egx yolk and various green vegetables | contain this mineral. Vegetable are, like frults, alkaline in | thelr reaction. They tend to counter- act acidity and are notably useful when a_child is suffering from am- moniacal trouble. The mother will discover this when she gives her child vegetable soup daily and notices how it tends to overcome this tendency. All vegetables should be put through a fine wire sieve until the child is 16 | months of age. Just mashing them does not remove the stringy, indiges- tible portions, which may cause troub- ble. This should be strained out of the sieve. In order that the baby may have a variety of vegetables and learn to like them all, he may be offered after the first year cauli- flower, asparagus, beets, beans (string not navy), peas, tomatoes, carrots, spinach and squash.
