Nancy and Lois were deep in the study of the latest fashion magazine. “You know, Lois, I remember the time I used to go South or to California every single Winter unless we went to the Riviera. Those were the days!” And she sighed reminiscently. “But after all, I was not satisfied then. I did not have Peter, nor my children, nor my home. I'd rather have them than all the trips in the world, if it comes to a choice. And since a South- ern cruise is out of the question, do you know what?” “No. What?” asked the obliging Lois. “Let’s get busy making some clothes. What fashionable folk wear in warm climates in January is what other folks wear in June. Why don't we begin to get ready for Summer? Come on, let's see what clothes we cen make and what we want to buy.” The fashion magazine showed many writes he is bothered with tiny specks linen suits.

The 6 or 7 year old begins to entertain you with what he calls “Chinese,” “Italian” or “Indian” “talk.” In some cases the young linguist merely wants to attract attention. The one ambition in the life of most chil- dren is to command an audience with their elders. In such cases they are merely trying to “grow up.” Very few adults realize how little the average child understands,of the ordinary con- versation in the home. So children will sometimes fake a language in order to put themselves on a par with the rest of the family. - In other cases the fake language is a sign of social awakening in a larger sense. About the time children. begin to take up geography in the school they begin tp wonder about the habits of peoples in other countries. They hear something about the strange languages of foreign groups. This in- formation- arouses - their imagination and they come home from school “talk- ing” the language of the country they happen to be- most interest in’ for the time being. A ‘When they are about 10 years old they sometimes attempt to create a new language. This time the motive is en- tirely different. They are then in the “age of secrecy.” It's a good time to begin the study of modern languages in the schools. (Copyright. 1933.)

WRITINGS OF CONFUCIUS. 6 © pot do unto others what you would not like to have them do unto you.” It is Confucius speaking, and if your fancy is large enough you may imagine him broad- casting the words 2,450 years ago. Of course, there were no radios at CONFUCIUS (BASED ON ANCIENT PORTRAIT). that time in China, or anywhere else, but Confucius knew the ast of writing, and his words have been saved durin; 'Neglect of Common Constipation Is a ‘ Serious Matter Prevent This Condition With | Kellogg's All-Bran The first question your doctor | |asks is whether you are consti-| pated or not.

At this time there are more than 250,000,000 , Chinese who follow, or try to follow, the way of life which was mapped out for them by this great thinker. “Honor thy ancestors” was another rule set down by Confucius; and surely there is no civilized nation today which gives ,more honor than China to pcr!ng, grandparents and great-grand- parents. “To see the right, and not to do it, is to be a coward,” says Confucius. Most Chinese try to do the right as they see it. Confucius was born in the year we call 551 B.C. He was married at the age of 20, and three years later started upon a career as teacher. When he was 29 years old, he became governor of the city of Chung-tu, and later he held anéther public office. WOMEN'’S FEATURES. Before he died, at the ripe age of 73, Confucius gathered together words of Chinese thinkers who 'had lived before him, and placed these writings with his own in the “Five Classics.” After his death, men who admired him composed the “Four Books.” These nine volumes make up what has been called the “Bible of Confucius.” Confucius gave his thought to life on earth, rather than to life after death. He wanted people to be kind to one another, and to live in friend- m%! Such teachings have done mueli toohlvmt:e Chinese. ine other hand, teaching about ancestors has been harmful in some ways.
