Dear Misa Gi You have given Others such worthy advice, probat You can help me. My husband is a good one, as they §9, and I really can't find any fault With him about the way be tr Me, except that after we we fled I soon learned that @1 to do in the evenings was read mever go out or play cards, or have play and sing for him, so T have given up many pleasures mar » want trying also to become a “book! | worm.” Our first baby came a f ago. Ho is an exceptiona happy baby and seldom cries, When he does, my husband is simply “up in arms.” If I am busy, I ask him to hold the baby, which he does | baby Srudgingly, and he nearly slaps, pinches or mocks and, of course, then I him myself. He often yells, “shut up" at the baby, from another room, He considers him a nukes. Dut usually, when the baby is all smiles, he t s him quite nicely It isa casion when we go to a neighbors for the evening and take the baby; as there is no one to leave him with we go out “once in @ blue moon.” The trouble I am trying to pre Sent to you for an answer is: I am afraid, if my husband continues to behave in this unfatherly fashion to Ward our baby, the baby will grow] up to fear his father, and that is a thing I do not want at any price. Please tell me some way to im Prove this situation. Gratefully, MRS. A. I know of some modern, well-reg- wlated households where hard-work- fing fathers scarcely ever see their Young off-spring, except on Satur- day afternoons and Sundays. Are} you systematic adout your baby? That is, do you have regular feed-| fing hours and regular siccping hours | for him? A baby a few months old | should have histdinner and be tuck- in his bed for the night by You say when you are busy and the baby cries, you ask your husband fo hold him. It is not necessary to take Daby up every time he cries. If you Begin this, you will be making your- elf no end of troubic. Simply see that he is comfortable and give him some toy to amuse himerif. There @re too many over-induloent mothers teho ruin their children's dispositions before they are yet out of the cradic. Your husband's attitude is @ differ- ent matter. He is equally respon- idle with you for the child's weifare. Have you ever talked with him about what this attitude may mean in the future? If you broach the sub- fect in the right way, you ought to be able to influence him more than @nyone cise. A father owes to his en more than simply filling mouths iith daily dread—he “ wes them companionship and love and, above all, he must conduct him- self in such @ manner in their pres- ence as to set a good example for them to follow. It is to be sincerely hoped that your baby's father will tiew his responsibility in this light, » ond begin to ectume it. Early to Bed and Early to Rise Dear Miss Grey: What time do » you think a child should retire? 1 | have had that question asked me so | Many times that I looked it up and Went to lectures on it, read books Written by better authorities, ete. I } have found that a child, up to 4| Years old, should have at least 13) hours’ rest. Children at the 5 to 9, should retire not later than $30, and rise not earlier than 8 @’clock. Children between 9 and 13 should retire not later than 9 o'clock And rise not earlier than 7:20 o'clock Children between the ages of 14 and 16 should retire not later than 10, and rise not earlier than 7:30. > Iam a mother of three chilar @ges 15, 11 and 4. I have used the above theory for the last seven years and found that my children do bet fer work, both in school and out, by having more sleep. Some mothers get their children up at 6:30 o'clock to work on school lessons, practice Violin, piano, etc., for an hour or so before school. I think that a child who works his mind with not enough sleep before going to school, is weary and doesn't Want to study before the day fs over. My husband is a school te her, and be has studied children for a good Many years, and finds true what I have previously written you. The more sleep we get, the better ctiti zens we make. I think a grown-up should have at least eight hours’ Sleep, any more than 10 ts too much. If we do not have enough sieep we @re not able to do good work. If We have too much, we get lazy os of | None of my children are dull or| lazy. I hope you can find space for this, where other mothers may also see it * MOTHER OF THRE. What can be more convincing than Mictual proof? You have tried out your theory on your own children Band found it beneficial. I am glad to print your letter and hope it may reach other mothers, who can profit by it. LONDON, Jan. Houdini trifks are performed by Rev. W. E. F.
