Fold them across the ‘center, not pressing out but creasing very lightly. Then take a stitch through the fold a quarter inch from the center. popples of the sort shown are the easiest of all flowers to fake and from this simple plan you can make a wide variety of flowers, de- pending on the material and the size circles for each , fasten the silk threads by which the four circles were make a firm stem.

If you like, you can reinforce the threads holding the poppy petals with wire and then wind with green ribbon to form stems, and you can add two or three green leaves cut from silk.

JESSE W. SPROWLS. The Number Sense. There is a special sense which may wel! be called the number sense. Cul- tivate it a little in school and you acquire what is known as arithmetical ability. Cultivate it still more and you come to have what passes for mathe- matical talent. This number sense seems to be one of the forms of common sense. At any rate, it is so common that even ants, bees and birds have it. Ants surpass bees and birds in this common arithmetic. Three pieces of meat were placed near an ant hill. The second was twice as big as the first and the third twice as big as the second. The scouts looked the situation over and went back to the nest for reinforcements. There were 28 ants that came out for the first piece, 44 for the second, 89 for the third. Not bad third grade arith- metic in any school. s number sense, which all crea- tures seem to possess, although in vary- ing amounts, is, after all, exactly what one should expect. Every living crea- | ture, in order to get along. must know how to count. This counting amounts to an accounting for different things in each creature’s world of things. From a psychological point of view this primitive counting is at first merely the |act of paying attention to what is going on. Then comes the second step—the act of attaching values to what is happening. That's when real counting begins. The third step con- s.in making certain guesses about at will happen in the future. Then | calculation begins. ¥ Noticing. keeping tab and predicting are the three parts of the number sense, (Copyright, 1031.)

The family next door, the boy in the back seat, are allowed to go to the questionable movie during school week. They tell of the gorgeous time they have had, they drop edged remarks about the lack of freedom your boy suffers, urge him to come along any- way.

C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1931 MODES OF THE MOMENT Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED, ‘With the kindest intentions in the world, most mothers, especially if their children are easily managed, in time become martinets. They beat the time, direct the steps and demand that their children march in time to their drums. ‘The results may be fine for a time; but at about two years, if not before, the child to rebel. Why does he have to wash his face because his mother says so? Why does he have to drop his play and come in the house because it is nap time? When he is old and intelligent enough to voic: these rebellious thoughts he does so. He says “No,” and says it determinedly, If he feels helpless and doesn't know ex- actly how to rebel, he cries. Either re- action, the “no” or the crying, renders his mother equally helpless and in- furiated. “I wonder if you can help me?” queries Mrs. C. G. “My boy is a little over 2 years old. He eats what he should when he should, and the right amounts. He drinks a quart of milk a day, sleeps from 7 to 7 o'clock, and takes a one- hour nap. He goes to bed willingly and wakes up happy. But here is what is wrong: The slightsst thing I direct him to do brings on a spell of crying or whining. He simply refuses to do any- thing that I suggest. Anything I hap- pen to have in my hand he wants, and puts up a howl if he doesn't get it. I have spanked and punished him by put- ting him in another room in a chair, but it doesn’t help.

Try to give him a job that indicates your appreciation of his high ability, for in so doing you justify your call to his pride.

Search your mind for something that you know the boy longs to do. Something that makes him feel big, such as going to the! bank with a message and a charge to carry home; issuing instructions to some business office over the telephone; overseeing some younger child; pur- chasing some important bit of equip- ment on his own judgment; giving a Elrty to some friends and managing it imself. Call on his initiative and make him feel himself strong, worthy, a shining light. Too often we lose our patience when the children argue their mistaken causes. We irritate the wound we have made instead of soothing and heal- ing it. We order the child to be still. We have spoken and that is erough. ‘We bring up his weak points and press upon them. We suddenly remember that he had a bad mark in spelling last week and a poor one in arithmetic’ and suggest bluntly that he might bet- ter use his time to do his work in- | stead of wasting it with the poorest pupils and the worst kind of young | citizens in the neighborhood.

Every morning he went from a breakfast-table quarrel with his mind so surcharged with the mean things she had said to him that he could only give one lobe of his brain to his work; the balance of it was rehashing the scene they had gone through and formulating the snappy retorts he would make next time. She killed all of his belief in himself and made him timorous of his own abilities by always reproaching him for not making more money, and by throwing some millionaire in his teeth. And she gave him the final shove downhill by making enemies for him where she should have made friends. Nut Muffins. Coffee. LUNCHEON., Boiled Rice, Cheese Sauce.

She made a peaceful and comfortable home for him where he could rest after his day’s work was over, and from which he went forth refreshed to his labors. She made him gloriously happy, and a happy man has the strength of ten. She believed in him and built up his faith in himself, so he had to strike out to justify her opinion. She made friends for him and drew about him the circle of people that it would help him to know. NUT MUFFINS.

Lfi& Kipling tells in one of his storles of a poor little scared rabbit of a man, who, in a moment of danger, showed the bravery of a lion because the girl he wanted for a wife was looking on, and he says, “Love hath made this thing a man.” ‘That is true oftener than women realize. Love is still the great motive power that drives men on, and as long as a man really loves his wife he will struggle to get the things he wants to give her, clothes and jewels and cars and high position. It is only when he has ceased to care for his wife that he slacks dawn. So if a wife wants her husband to bring home the bacon she must keep him feelingthat she is a queen, and that it is a privilege to lay it at her feet.
