FEATURES, How Children Can Earn Pin Money BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘The practical way in which one mother saw that her children had “pin money” may be of interest to others. In this case the term was interpreted wvery literally.

SUB ROSA BY MIML The sewing season was the heydey m of such “pin money.” Possibly the mother was not as pains- takingly careful as she might have been in the way she dropped pins. But the children did not guess this. They had the feeling that they were making the money which accrued from their finds. ‘The pennies which they shook in Can You Imaginet ‘When we use an exclamation of this sort, little do we realize what it means. “Can you imagine?” we say when somebody tells something that has actu- ally happened. We suggest that-it re- quires imagination to I'H-IE something that might seem to lie Wit the power of the five senses. Most_of us regard imagination as a sort of luxury, like dessert after a meal. | We may take it or not, according to our desire. We are not so quick to observe that imagination is really meat and po- tatoes, a part of a well balanced ration of the brain. We can't go into all the great dis- coveries man has made, from America to the new planet, from the telephone to the electron. But we can go far enough to realize that these things, which are now facts, were once dreams in somebody’s mind. The scientific somebody had the power to imagine what was going to be a reality in the next generation. Some of us have imaginations which overlook the obvious facts and start laying with mere day dreams, like & flapper who cuts out the ham sand- wich for the sake of the chocolate eclair. That sort of fancy thinking won't get us anywhere. it is in- dulged in_too liberally, the flighty thinker is likely to go cuckoo. Most of us, however, are more to plod along in the fog than to along on the clouds. We can't imagine, and that's the reason we can’t see. You can see a house, but it takes tion to see a home. Your eyes can ob serve a woman or man, but to see mother and father requires the work of the mind and heart—of imagination. The reason why some people can never see the idea in an argument, the point of a story or the beauty of a land- scape is because they lack the inward light of the mind, the flashlight of imagination. Imagination can work in more ways than one. It can reveal either the fa- | vorable or unfavorable.
