If you do not know the answer, say so honestly, and add that you will be glad to look it up or help him to, if he is old enough to do some research work himself. Parents frequently have fascinating topics brought to their attention by the study they make to find out answers to children’s questions. Then a child is unconsciously broadening the education of his parents. Such instances are de- lightful, because they strei the bond of common interest between par- ents and children.

It makes a child a prig to give a rehash, in prattle or in language of later youthfulness, of ideas far beyond his mental acumen. Chil- dren who do this are unpopular with those of their own age and adults alike. Help children to be natural in their thoughts and their speech. Beware of superchild study. Do not be constantly prying into your child’s mind. He will be quick to realize what is going on, although he could not ex plain his feelings about it. He will ap- preciate that you are endeavoring to robe his thoughts. This will make le on his guard. He will instinctively withdraw into himself and leave you, as his mother or father, ndering what makes & gulf between you and him. Let a child try to investigate his mother’s or father's mind and the parent will resent it. Often if a child shows resentment he is punished. Be fair with your children.

GUNN. ‘Why We Are Tempted. “Blessed is th. man that endureth temptation."—James, 1.12. Temptation is probably the most familiar and most general experience| of life. As some one has said, “All are | |r wise, all are not foolish, all are not| joyful, all are not sorrowful, but all are | tempted.” Many wonder why temptation is such a common thing in our experience. "hy does God suffer us to be tempted at ail? Could He not stop it? Then, why does-He no. do it?” they ask. The answer is that temptation is @ neces- sary process in the development of our Character. The word “teinpt” means literally to| try, to p. -e, to test. To tempt a man is to test him. This testing is a very needful thing. It reveals to us where we are weak, where we need to be on our gue-’, where improvement is needed, wiiere we require special divine help. & is greatly to our advantage to| know this. | Besides, valor untested is no_valor. Untried virtue is at best what Milton calls “a fugitive and cloistered virtue unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversaries. In the very nature of the case we re- quire temptation for oyr moral train- ing. It is through temptation that we gain_moral strength and a developed manhood. James saw the meaning and value of temptation. “Count it all joy," he said, “when ye fall into divers tempta- | tions; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.” " Again he said: “Blessed is the man that en- dureth temptation, for when he is tried | he shall receive the crown of life.” The man we crown is the man in whom we recognize the virtue of proved manhood, not merely of untried inno-| cence. We nev - know how strong an untried man is. To illustrate, here is & man who never committed a theft. But| he has never had any temptation to| steal. We admire his innocence of that transgression. But we are not sure of | his hone: W - are not sure of what | the result would be should his honesty | once b put to the test by a real temp- tation to steal or defraud. We entertain no such doubt of the man who has time and again endured that temptation and proven himself a | victor. crowning him an honest man. There would be no trjumphs to our credit if we had no foes to vanquish, no temptations to conquer. Not until we have been tried and proven our- selves victors ar we worthy to wear a victor's crown.

Dirty, fll-kept fingernails, besides showing great carelessness in personal daintiness, directly encourage disease, especially where the handling of food is necessary. Nails should be brushed every night and morning and every particle of dirt removed. It is a mistake to clean them with the point of a knife or scissors, as the roughened nail readily harbors dirt. If brushing does not thoroughly cleanse them, use the points of an orangewood stick wrapped with a wisp of absorbent cotton. Fingernails should never be cut with the scissors. If they are filed at regular intervals and not kept too long, the weekly manicure should suffice. To keep the skin around the nail from over- growing, it should be pushed back, when the hands are washed, with a dry towel. There are a great many women who make a habit of a weekly visit to the beauty shop, but there are many others who prefer a weekly home manicure, which may be given quite easily with a little practice. First, wash and scrub the hands and nails thoroughly. If you have been using a liquid nall polish, remove it first with the nail polish remover, using a camel's-hair brush for this purpose. Next, file the nails of both hands the desired length and shape, using a long, flexible nail file. Hold the nail file firmly between the thumb and first two fingers. Use a long-stroking movement, but do not file one part of the finger- nail more than the other part. File hem so that they are slightly oval or slightly pointed, depending upon the type and size of your fingernail. Soak the nails in warm, soapy water for several minutes. If, howayer, your fingernails are inclined to be ridged, brittle or soft, steep them in warm olive oll or equal parts of olive oll and almond oil or mineral oil instead of soaking them in water. Warm the oil,! but do not have it hot enough to burn the fingers. Hold the tips of the fingers in the oil until it is almost cold. A little cuticle cream or oil is then taken on the end of the orangewood stick, which is wrapped in absorbent cotton and ap- plied to the skin around and under- neath the nails. Press the cuticle back. It may be necessary to cut away & portion of the pushed-back cuticle, but this operation should be restricted, if possible, to the snipping away of the ragged ed{u or hangnails. This pro- cedure will not be necessary if you give your nails the regular care that they need and press the cuticle back every time you wash your hands. " Wipe off the oil. The nails are now scrubbed again, dried and the emery- board used to smooth them. A little bleach cream may h{.g"lud under the nails at the tips of the fingers. Scrub again, dry and lvgly a powder or paste nail polish and buff with a chamois buffer. If liquid nail polish is to be used, wash and dry the hands affer using the powder polish. Home mani- cure sets are obtalnable, together with the liquid nail polish and the small brush that is used to apply it. For Upper Arms. Thin girls and women worry about their upper arms which, as one reader puts it, “Look so horrid in an evening gown.” But they are not alone in their trouble, for those who are too fleshy are just as concerned apd just as eager to know how to make their arms graceful and shapely. ‘There is only one way to keep the upper arms correctl: proportioned, supple and beautiful and that through regular massage and daily exer- cise. In these exercises and m: the same rule holds good which is ways applicable, and that is, that those who are thin should exercise leisurely and massage gently, Those Whose arms are covered with excess flesh must make the massage rather vigor- ous, and it may be followed by a brisk patting and rub with alcohol. The exercises, too, should be repeated oft- ener and more strenuously. For the majority, swimming the breast stroke or the crawl are splen- did exercises for the upper arms. In addition the following exercises may be practiced daily: (1) Stand erect with both ‘arms stretched over your head, palms facing.
