Children Will Sometimes Cry After Forgetting What They Began Crying For Mothers Should yBe Clea;i; I\;md As to What Activities to Allow Children—To Decliberate First Is Better ¥ for his NEw BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1914. Than to Reverse When the baby cries for the moon, Yyou cannot give it to him. You silence hig demand by offering him a nap- kin ring or a Jack-in-the-Box. When he wants a gas-flame, you seek to di- vert his attention by dangling a ball before his eyes. This kind of treat- ‘ment is all very well for the baby; but how long are you going to keep it up? Of course, you cannot explain to the baby the inaccessibility of the moon, or the danger that lurks in the pretty flame; you divert his ai- tention from the object of his desire because that is all you can do. More- iover, that is enough for the baby; interests and desires cling closely to that which is immediately before his senses. But this method works so well with the very young child that we are inclined to practise | it even when he is old enough to be reached by other methoads. Mere Substituting An Insult. There comes a time in his develop- ment when he is quite able to differ- ”? .entiate between that upon which he ’ hag set his heart and that which you have substituted for it. Then you must stop offering substitutes. The child is old enough to know that there are some things he cannot have and that crying will not bring them. To offer him a substitute for what he has requested is an insult to his in- @ telligence, for it is as good as saying té him, “You really don't know what you want; you don’t want to turn the wheel of that sewing machine now, you want a piece of cake.” Fur- thermore, it is demoralizing to his will, for it says to him, “‘One wish is ag good as another, so you may as well wish what I have decided to give you.” It is the child’s ability to hold before his mind that upon which he has set his heart which is to make the will at the foundatioh ' of his character; and your substitute seeks to destroy this ability, First Refusal Should Be Final. And yet, what’s to be done when what the child wants cannot be had? Shall we let him cry and tease ¢« until he is exhausted. and fix in his KEENEY’'S WEEK OF AUGUST 10. FRANCONIA OPERA CO.

Or shall we teach him as early as possible that a first refusal is final, and let it 8o at that? The child is placed in an environ- ment wherein most things tempt his curiosity or his instinct to “"do some- thing” or “try something” with them; and wherein, at the same time, most of these things must not be touched or handled. When Janet wishes to play with the baby as a doll, she must be told firmly that it is out of the question. In the meanwhile, how- ever, she must have something to do, and the person in charge must find the opportunity for her. We must be on our guard, however, against suggesting that playing with the tea set or stringing beads is just as good as playing with the baby, or that the new activity will do in- stead of the desired one. .The atti- tude to assume {s this: We know she wanted to play with the baby as & doll; but that is simply impossible; she must therefore find something else to interest herself or to occupy her idle energies. This may seem to many mothers like quibbling. But we must remem- ber that the child is very keen to de- tect any uncertainty, any tendency to yield on the part of those with whom he has to deal. If anything in your voice or in your manner remotely suggests that you are bargaining with the child, that you are offering a compromise, you lose, even though you may succeed in saving the baby from the ruthless hands of Janet. Asks for Things He Does Not Want. There are some children who ask for things that they do not care very much about, but they do care very much if their requests are denied. A child will sometimes cry when de- nied his request, and keep on crying until he has actually forgotten what | it was that he wanted. He has a vague feeling of dissatisfaction, a feeling that things are not just right. What he needs is something to do, something that will interest him and drive away that uncomfortable feel- ing. When you suggest an activity to a child in this state, you are not offering a substitute for that which | he asked to have; you are substituting for the misery whose cause he him- self does not know an opportunity to be active and happy. Consider First Rather Than Concede Later. We must be clear in our own minds as to what kinde of objects and what kinds of activities we are to allow the children. When a new question comes up, it is better to deliberate than 'to reverse the first decision. When Johnnie asks wheth- er he may go out again, you are tempted to say no, because it's. so near dinner time. He points out that there {g still a quarter of an hour ot | golden time; you concede to the logic | of figures and he goes. How much better tu consider at once how much time there is, and grant his request reasonably then, instead of making a concession under his pressure! Warning Might Precede Final Com- mand. X Three little girls are bathing in a lake. The mother, on the shore, looks at her watch and calls to her children to come out of the water. It's so pleasant in the water; mayn't we stay just a little longer? The mother ylelds five minutes, and at once the bargaining begins, ending in a compromise of ten minutes. Now, the mother ought either to have made her children learn that when she calls it |s time to come; or she should have learned that her children do not come when theéy are called. On top of this she should make up her mind just how much longer 1t would be really proper for the girls to stay in the water, and give them no- tice of the time at their disposal; and this should be in the form of an ultimatum, permitting of no exten- sion or compromise af any kind.

The famous Players films are the most expensive and most sought' for productions by all of the bigger and best - motion . ‘picture theaters throughout .the .country. The cast of each individual attraction bears the name of one of Broadway's most popular stars who had been’ in- duced to enter the fleld of the silent drama with tempting offers, and he is supported by select dramatic ar- tists, engaged at no small cost. The features will be offered for two days each, with the single reels changed every day. The first Famous Players fllm to inaugurate this new policy is offered today and is one that has met with the biggest of success and jumped in instantaneously at the initial show- ing, and the Fox patrons will see this masterful production today and to- raorrow. It is Daniel Frohman, the legitimate manager of New York who presents Malcolm Willlams, the promi- nent dramatic actor in the farmous drama of a strong man’s triumph over a woman’ pride, entitled: “The Hrute,” by Frederick Arnold Kimmer. Malcolm Willlams, one of the fore- most character delineators on the stage, makes his initial appearance in metion pictures in “The Brute,” a great and vital drama of today and all the time. “The Brute” is a power- ful portrayal of the world-old conflict Narcissus Cornet Solo—Bride of Langey eeseeeetttsst sttt cistet sosnansnnnne band has | NO PENCIL TRACING--NO HOT IRON--MERELY A RUB GUEST TOWEL Size of Pattern 20x63 PATTERN COUPON two sheets of friction transfer new as tomorrow's dawn. It is a tense drama of the clash of wills be- tween a strong man and a haughty, avaricious woman, the climax of which hangs in the balance until the man, in righteous indignation, exerts his full physical strength toward the subjugation of the woman. How he asserts his supremacy, and eventually conquers and forgives his mercenary and willful wife is vividly portrayed in the further development and finale of this excitingly realistic drama that will reach the great heart of the masses. Besides this stellar and great production four other reels of interest will be offered, rounding out two i solid hours of refined, diversified and pleasing entertainment, made up of “The Sob Sister,” two powerful reels from the Universal studio with a story that teaches a great moral lesson, “An Indian Eclip: ' an Indian drama of worth, and ‘“Universal Ike,"” showing Universal Ike Junior in the dangers of a great city, which is a roaring comedy with young Ike at the helm. The production of “The Brute” will also be offered Sunday, with a change of the single reels, and instead of the ones mentioned above “Willie,” a Selig two part excruciatingly funny comedy and three other equally as good stories will be show: A Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast Fruit Broiled Fish Bread and Butter Honey Coffee Dinner Sago Soup Fricandeau of Veal Mashed Potatoes Tomatoes Stuffed with Corn Romaine Salad Peach and Marshmallow Mousse Coftee Supper Anchovy Sandwiches Gingerbread Iced Chocolate Romaine Salad.—Split maine down the stalk; leaf in three pieces; rinse in cold water; then shake well.

This will be a fine opportunity for the patrons of this theater. This is one of the greatest moving picture playvs ever presented in New Britain. This picture is in three parts. It opens in a modern Italian village and the drama is related by an old bagpiper, and concerns himself, his sister, father and his neighbo during the eventful days of 1861-1862. After the first prologue scenes the village is shown occupied by the dis- solute Bourbon soldiers. Carola, the sister, being a beautiful village maiden, attracts the attention of the scldiers who attempt to insult her. She rushes to inform her father, who «frabs a gun and rushes down to the courtyard and is killed. Part two shows the return of the brother who has been away. Bad temper is gen- erated between the soldiers and the village forces owing to the wanton killing of the father, their family being well thought of. Help must be ohtained from a neighboring town but it meant almost sure death to a mes- senger making the attempt. Carola cflers to go. The scenes depicting her escape féor help are thrilling. Carola succeeds, though wounded by a bullet, in reaching the town and giving the alarm. Part three shows the successful routing of the Bourbon soldiers, but upom going to Carola who, to save time had refused to have her wounds treated they find her dead —her life given up for the liberty of her townsmen. The movement as shown In the pictures are spectaculaf and exciting. This picture will be shown at the Bijou today and to- morrow. | Hoz—xseho!;{ Notes “ - ——— e Paper dishcloths have many tues. vir- watermelons are the The heaviest. best Use a clothespin for scraping pans etc. A gate-leg table is delightful for a bedroom.
