If a homemaker were to do each thing as it is presented she would be too weary when the day was done to be able to be a good companion for the man of the house when he has his free hours for the enjoyment of the | home and his family. So it is apparent that discretion must be observed in following the pre- cept.

It is with a sense of relief rather | than pleasure that a delayed job is | ended at last. | In the face of all these facts in favor | of doing it now, the word of caution to | the faithful homemaker about follow- | ing the adage with punctiliousness con. linues to be wise.

He is probably a great reader and does not confine his reading to any one subject, but is interested in many different ones. His scientific trend will lead him to look for the reason behind things and not to be satisfied with a surface view. The short wide loops of his writing indicate great powers of concentration, The apparent rapidity with which he writes is another factor which makes us believe he is a quick, clear thinker. He probably cares little for impressing other people and will not waste time on unimportant details. When detail is truly important, however, he will in- sist on accuracy. In preferring books to people he follows the general studious type. He probably has few intimate friends. For these few, he is willing to go out of his way. People may at first think him distant and reserved, though his true nature is a friendly one. He should sirive to show this friendliness more often in order to broaden his personal contacts. | The manner in which he makes his | “f's” tends to show a desire to help | others. He should cultivate this de- sire and give of his own knowledge to others who perhaps have not had his advantages in life.

He wagged his stump of a tail and tried his best to make his master understand that he wanied to obey him, but was afraid to. Farmer Brown's Boy couldn’t under- stand it at all. A Lizard with a long tail darted out and raced away. It couldn’t be | this that had frightened Flip, for he | had seen many Lizards and dearly loved to chase them. Then Farmer Brown’s Boy noticed that Flip kept | rolling his eyes up to the sky. Farmer Brown's Boy looked up. High in the | blue, blue sky, a dark form was sailing on hroad wings. It was Talons, the Golden Eagle. Farmer Brown's Boy knew him at once and for a few min- utes watched him, admiring his won- derful mastery of the air. as he had often watched and admired King Eagle of the white head back home. Then he looked down at Flip again with a puzzled frown. It was then that he noticed that Flip's eyes were follow- ing_every movement of the great bird high overhead, and it gradually came to him that it was ef Talons that Flip was afraid. At first he wouldn't be- lieve it because he couldn't. Why shouid Flip even notice Talons way up there in the sky? “It must be something e'se,” said he. “I've never known Flip to take the least notice of a bird in the air. I'll tie him to this stake and go off a little way and hide and see what will happen.” So he tied Flip to a stake and hid under a bush not far away. Poor Flip whimpered and whined and did his best to break away. It was clear that he was very much frightened. Then Farmer Brown's Boy glanced up to see what had become of Talons and per- haps you can guess how startled and surprised he was to see Talons poised high above Flip, as if about to swoo) down on him. A moment later h started to do this very thing. With a yeil Parmer Brown's Boy sprang out and ran toward poor Flip.

How Do You Help Your Husband, DorothyDix| -5z 'VERY wife who is & real woman, and not just s dressed-up doll stuffed with sawdust, desires above everything else in the world to be of assistance to her husband. She yearns to be a real helpmate to him, but there is no other problem so great as how to do it. Beside the question of how to help her husband, the riddle of the Sphinx becomes a conundrum so simple that a feeble-minded could guess it, 1f she tries to help him by making an utter sacrifice of herself to him, he soon comes to regard her as the family goat and has no respect for her or for her cpinions. IF SHE tries to prod him on to achieve things, she gets on his nerves and hurts his vanity because she isn't satisfied with him as he is. And the more successful she really is in helping him and pushing his fortunes, the less he cares for her, The old idea was that a woman could best help her husband by stay- ing at home and doing the work of half a dozen servants and pinching pennies so as to enable him to roll up a fortune. That plan doesn't seem to have worked out very successfully, at least from the woman's point of view. For about the time she boosted him up on Easy street and he accu- mulated enough mcney with her assistance to make him interesting to the gold-diggers, he discovered that Friend Wife had got middle-aged and fat and was dull company, so he brgan stepping out with the pretty-pretties, Many a wife who has slaved her fingers to the bone helping her husband get rich has helped herself to divorce at the same time.

People began to talk about his stories and editors to ask for them, but he couldn't stand the pace. He came to regard his wife as nothing but a slave-driver and he left her for'a sloppy. easy-going woman, without any ambition, who wasn't always trying to jack him up. Then we ccme upon the curious paredox that sometimes it seems that the best way for a wife to help her husband is by being a hindrance, as it were, and that the heavier & burden she is upon him, the more likely he is to win the race. NDOUBTEDLY, the thrifty wife helps her husband to sccumulate his fartune, but just as often it is a wife's extravagance that helps a man on to riches. Many a man who wotld satisfied with a modest salary has to werk o hard and scheme so much to pay the bills of a wife who is a spender that he puts himself in the millionaire class without intending it. If you notice, you will sce that the women who have to have money seem always to have husbands who can make it, while the women who can do without things rarely have go-getters. Let a womsn show that she cen support herself and many a husband will sit down and It her do it, whereas the helpless woman has a husband who gets up and hustles. DOROTHY DIX.

What the Scales Tell. ‘When a mother is with the baby con- | stantly, she is often decetved as to his | weight. The baby may look well, may even seem to look fatter to her when in truth he isn’'t gaining an ounce. Usually, when the mother appeals to! | outsiders, they try to comfort her by saying, “Oh, she’s just small-boned,” or | that other red herring, “She's probal getting taller!” If a baby is small-boned, she was | also small-boned at birth and her gain | would go on steadily from birth, no matter what her bony framework. And | if the bahy were really getting taller. she would alco be getting heavier. Whether it is bony or fatty growth, it's bound to increase the weight. So mothers should turn deaf ears to those moth-eaten excuses, and make up their minds that if the baby isn't gaining weight every week or every month, something is wrong somewhere. Mrs. M. R.

There is a new way of wearing scarfs and it is all part of the new tendency to make fashions more demure and more plcturesque. The new scarf is not worn nonchalantly crossed at one side and it is not worn ascot fashion, it is tied in a bow right under the chin. It is an attractive fashion but one self. "But if you have a young daughter don't forget it. Because there is some- ! thing about a bow under the chin that is always becoming to young girls. In some cf the new coats the scarf is | sewed in at the back of the collar, and if your daughter is going to start the scason with last season’s coat then by all means get a scarf and sew it in at | the back. The scarf should be from four to six inches wide and at least a yard long. The yard allows enough for a nice bow, but if you want the ends of the bow a little long then you will need more than a yard. You may make the scarf of any soft silk, preferably in | NATURE’S CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. Hlustrations by Mary Foler. cIn.
