WOMAN'’S PAGE Exercise on the Road to School BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. One of the pleasant experiences of #chool days is the walk to and from the schoolhouse. There ave few par- ents who cannot remember with satis- faction the walks they themselves took when attending school—high #achool, particularly. One great reason for_this is the distance hetween home and high school, for it is ' usually greater than from other schools. building has to do for all the town's children, while the lower grades are WH WALK CIS housed in Little folk Jonger hour Jess studyin teacher's eve.

No soomer had Farmer Brown's Boy passed the bramble tangle than Peter left it. Iie had seen Reddy Fox run and he knew that this was his chance. 8o he made the best of his opportunity and headed for another bramble tangle that had once heen used but was use 1o Jonger by Old Jed Thumper. Young brambles were growing up in the ver middle of the paths Old Jed Thumpe had once cut through there. Peter crawled in far enough to feel quite safe from Reddy Fox. Then he set to work.

There must be a path’ opening from every side of this bramble tangle so that I can get into it from any direc- ‘tion. This is a better tangle than any- thing down in the Old Briar-patch. T am going to have a dandy place here. Mrs. Peter doesn’t know what a mistake she’s made.” Now, Peter Rabbit doesn't like to work. Any. kind of work is hard for Teter. Sonfe folks are built that wi you know,~ 1f he_could make himsett think a job. was play he would do it without any trouble. But as long as it is work Peter bas a hard time. So it was that he didn’t make very rapid progress in the making of his paths through the bramble tangle. He would work a short time, then he would rest a long time. But even working like this one can't get a thing done in time. So it was with Peter. The time came when he had all these little paths cut to suit him Now if any enemy surprised him in any direction all he need do would be to scamper for this particular bramble tangle and from whichever side he approached it he would find one of those little paths opening into it. Peter sighed thankfully when the bramble tangle at last suited him. But it wasn’t long before he realized that that one bramble tangle wasn't enough. He wouldn't be able to stay all the time in or close to that hramble tangle. He must have other bramble tangles fitted up for his safety. “You see,” said Peter, talking to himself ,"one never knows when dan- ger may be near. It comes most un- expectedly. So it is a wise rabbit who always has a place of safety close by. I certainly shall have to fix up some of the old paths of Old Jed Thumper. There was a time when he had them all over the Old Pasture, but I guess now that he is old he doesn’t travel 50 much, Oh, dear! I don’t like work. No, sir, I don’t like work. I don’t see why Old Mother Nature couldn’t have pianned to have paths all made for rabbits. I really don’t. Well, as long as she didn’t, I'll have to make those paths myself.” day after day Peter worked and the little paths grew longer and longer all through the bramble tangle.

Some men need a wife who will step on the gas and some men need a wife who will put on the brakes. Some men need to have their egotism inflated and other men to have their gas hags punctured.

LITTLE bride-to-he That depends, of cours Generally speaking, however, the very best way in which a wife can help her husband is by making him happy. A man’s domestic felicity, his being in love with his wife and happy and satisfied in his home, has an actual cash value and is an important factor in his success. One of the big credit agencies has made the statement that when a man's business bogins (o go to pieces and he can’t meet his bills, investigation nearly aly <hows that there is trouble and discord at home.

Many a man fails because his wife is a wet blanket, who chills every enthusiasm and takes the starch out of ever: n. Such women keep their hushands tied to little jobs hecause they are afraid to take any risks. They concede that other men can do certain things, but when their husbands want to make some venture they croak failure until they shake the men’s faith in themselves. You can help Bolster up your husband's belief in himself, for a man can only do as much as he thinks he ca Make.him feel that you ex- peet great things of him and he will break rying to y your belief in him. Many a man’s success is the result of his trying to be the man that his wife expected him to be. You can help your husband by taking an interest in his business. Most men like to talk shop and many a man has got his big idea while threshing over his business problems at home with his wife. And it helps a man tre- mendously for his wife to be willing to sacrifice for the sake of the business and gladiy to forego the new car or the vacation trip in order to enlarge the plant or pay off a note or to meet some other necessary expense. And it helps for a wife not to he antagonistic toward her hushand’s business and to resent the ealls it makes upon him. e s pretty hard on a man to have a wife who yawns in his face every time he tries to talk to her about the subject in which he is absorbed and who £lways speaks disparagingly of the “old office,” or the “old factory,” who never can understand why he can’t leave it all to play around with her and Who generally displays a senseless jealousy of the business, which she looks Upon as a_deadly rival instead of the benign Providence that supplies her with all of her comforts and luxuries. Don't be one of these, You can help your husband by making friends for him. Half of the time the reason we send for Dr. Smith or get our teeth fixed by Dr. Jones or huy our groceries from Mr. Sellums is because those gen- tlemen have charming wives who have made themselves agreeable to us. Finally, you can help your husband by show‘ng some appreciation. Give him the glad hand now and then and tell him how wonderful you think he is and how grateful you are to him for all his kindness and goodness to you. It 1= no wonder so many husbhands get slack and lose their pep and am- ition and get to the place where they ask themselves, “Oh, what's the use?” ve wives who never as say “Thank you.” “There isn't much inspiration in working for a woman who only grumbles ‘hecause she has to live in a $2,000 apartment instead of a $10,000 one and because her sedan car isn’t a limousine. Of course, there are a million other ways to help a husband, but if you will only love him and make him happy and jolly him up and set him down to a good dinner every night in a tidy home, the others won’t matter.

Prof. Stratton has studied “anger” as another psychologist might study genius or crime, all as expressions of human nature. In the matter of ad- vice, as he gives it, one may- select this code: “irst. Be sparing of your anger. It's your reserve power for emer- gencies. Your resort to anger means the occasion is too big for your ordinary powers. Anger frittered on trifles is wasted. Second. Prepare against hair-trig- ger anger when you are tired, hun- gry, coming down with something, | getting old; and remember the same | weaknesses in others, and in children especially. That is how family quar- rels start. Keep a sharp eve out for it. We need anger arresters as well as lightning arresters. A oothing inner and calm atmosphere help. iet used to storm signals in yourself and others. It is to avold this type of anger that one was advised to count 10 before speaking. The harsh word that escapes without reflection leads to an anger habit. Profanity is sometimes a safety valve, like the bark that's worse than the bite. Third. Just he angry or stern enough to cover the case and stop there. When you show some one else where to get off, get off yvourself Don't use buckshot for sparrows or open a tin can dith when it's over x to the even teno brood and excite yours again, Forget it. Don't make an all- ¢ storm of a squall. sur most justifiable anger ed, when you get an; over wrong to others. But the othes may well include yourself, for you count as well as the rest. That is not the common temptation of anger; in- deed, such indignation must be kept alive for all worthy occasions. It may be summoned for private as well as public causes, and gives zest to life and pep to effc it makes a partner of reason in a | worthy interest, including self- interest. Yet your anger must be right and just, as well as well inten- tioned. Fifth. Remember that your anger arouses anger in others. Anger takes risks; anger estranges; its tragic_out- come is the breaking of.friendships and the sympathy which tempers and offsets it. Anger is the ally of prejudice, which means unfair judg- ment. The habit of justice and sym- pathy promotes calm and reason and an atmosphere discouraging to anger. This code of anger concerns private anger, which is for most of us the largest and most practical problem. Larger clashes and organized conflict follow the same psychology. How vou feel and behave in a public or business relation depends on how you control yourself in personal af- fairs. Anger is a private nuisance and a public menace. It has its uses “Kissin' th* place to make it well” ain’t men's work, but I got to 'tend to it when muvver ain't on the job. (Conyright. 1927.) LITTLE BENNY RY LEE PAPE. Paris, France.

Prof. tratton suggests that if you kept a notehook, a_sort of anger diary, and put down each anger outbreak, you would be so much ashamed or amused t these tempests in a teapot that. in time vou'd have fewer entries and worthier ones. But there will always be a large use for a code for the sup- pression of anger. Anger is a consuming emotion. In contrast to fear, which comes on siowly and grows the longer you are exposed to danger, anger comes on like a_pan and often sub- Short-lived emotions going by converting them into sentiments, which we can keep in mind. Thus arises hate. Hatred is the enduring source of anger conflict. Hate is kept alive, like a feud, by dition. Prejudice is another Vva- riety of it. When that kind of feeling rises it may break out in riots or moh rule. Men must learn to tolerate differences without arousing anger. Men schooled in the control of private anger do not lose their heads and join a mob. The riot act may be read to the unruly.
