D. “She forgets what I tell {her to do the minute after I tell her. She is strong and healthy, and 1 keep her home always, and she goes out only when I do. I have been nice and I have tried punishing her, and nothing does any good. Will you please give me some help?” The little girl, for her own good, ought to play with other children. That is one mistake you are making. It she did get away from home some- times, she would undoubtedly be a happier and better tempered child, and therefore willing to help you when you asked her to. It is ‘better to say nothing to her about not minding, but when she fails to heed you you may afterward without meanness, deprive her of some amusement which may mean something to her. If it is a question of household tasks, it is often the fault of the mother that a child fails to heed her requests. A child of this age can be given definite duties to perform each day, and she will take the responsibility of them, but to keep a child forever | vunning hither and thither at the be- | hest of a busy mother is an injustice to the child, and it is no wonder that | she rebels openly or else resorts to the next method of disregarding the mother altogether. Also remember when you are ask ing the child to do anything for you that if it is outside her regular tasks vou are asking a favor. Treat her You would an older person of whom vyou might ask a similar service, and vou will find that you will get the kind of response. Politeness is et that is used far too little in most households, mother depending on peremptory commands, followed by threats and punishment, instead of treating the child like a responsible individual. .

Potato salad and hot but- tered wax beans went with the meat. Toasted buns, jam and butter came next. For dessert, Peter hurried to a store and brought home ice cream. At the evening meal Mrs. Nancy Page had canned baked beans, well heated; sliced tomatoes and buttered toast. She made peach shortcake. ueing a rich biscuit dough and plenty of peeled, sliced, sweetened peaches. No one but Nancy realized what a strain the day had been.

A clever writer is running a series of talks giving a fact a day about food. These facts must be skillfully woven together into a serviceable fabric of knowledge.

E v_one should make a jeollection of fundamental facts, with- out a knowledge of which satisfactory diet could hardly be built. I am not | hammering on the facts themselves !Jjust now, but rather 1 am working out a method for gathering such facts. In these days of dashing from one responsibility to another it is a help to work out ways of acquiring our necessary knowledge with a minimum of time and effort. On the principle that it is sometimes a good way to study literature and history to start with some one character or period and then read in relation to these, why might it not be just as workable to lay fast hold of one food fact and develop rather further study around { this fact? | Suppose, for example, you are afraid | that Susie has rickets.

One fine morning in 1848 “a Mttle black lady in a black silk gown,” aged 37, awoke to find herself famous. As a matter of fact, she didn't actually awake in the black silk gown, but Mre. Gaskell did find herself suddenly ifamous, and she always appeared to her friends and acquaintances dressed very neatly in a not overfashionable gown of black silk. The 17 years that followed were years brightened by the friendship of such folk as Charles Dickens, John Ruskin, Florence Night- ingale, Charlottes Bronte, ‘Harriet Beecher Stowe—years varied by so- Jjourns in France, Italy and Germany, where literary folk of distinction were as eager to do her honor as they were at home. Quite different were these years from the first 37 years of Mrs. Gas- kell's life. At 22 she had married a poor clergyman in Manchester, Eng- land. With an ever-increasing family —seven children in all—the strictest economy was necessary in the Gaskell family, but despite her close attention to her family and domestic duties, M Gaskell somehow found time to it and relieve the misery of many of the poor Manchester folk among whom she lived. Mrs. Gaskell might have gone on and have forgotten had it not been for the death at 10 months of one of her children. As a means of taking her thoughts from her own sorrow, Mrs. Gaskell's clergyman husband sug- gested that she try to write. This spe did, but for a year or so without much success. A tale called “Mary Berton” she sent to a London publisher, who covery aetting | for “She doesn’t 16-year-old | FEATURES.

She was called to her New Eng- land home by the serious illness of her |aged father, and shortly before he died she confided to him her secret | ambition. “Go if it is your duty to go." he said. “I know soldiers, and they will respect you and your errand.” And with these words in her heart she went back to her great undertaking. Arrangements for taking care of sick and wounded were pitifully inade- quate, and a large number of women, more or less expert as nurses, attach: ed themselves in a disorganized way to the Army in order to relieve the suffering of the disabled men. Clara Barton was one of these fres-lance nurses, furnishing her own supplies, which she bought from her hard-earn- ed savings, doing unimpeded what sbe | found to do. Although by, nafure un. | duly sensitive and in a measure timid, | she fearlessly went to the front and dressed the wounded of both armies. |1t has been said that her greatest | service to humanity at that time was in establishing the right of the wound- ed soldier, despite the side for which he had fought, and sometimes she met opposition in this merciful work.
