HY, look; they charge yo for bread and butter her said Mr. Jarre to his wife For the head waiter, after going away from them for a long time, and not even writing or anything, was holding a joint debate in the kitchen with the chef and the checker, and had dropped a menu in passing. “Yes, all the first class places charge for bread and butter since the war. Didn't you know that?" asked Mr “eé of Our Children Talks to Parents sident of the Parents’ Association days, the whining will entirely dis- appear. It is simply a bad habit, Lot him understand that you will not recognize his wants when he whines and further that you will not permit his whining. While you are trying to cure him be sure to approve him a great deal in his play. Let him see how far he can jump, and no matter how short the distance, encourage him and praise him for his effort, A little of this sort of thing put into your rou- tine will help you in quickly and ef- fectively overcoming the bad habit. “1 have a daughter nine years old,” writes another mother, “who has the habit of complaining, She has a very sensitive disposition and she is for- ever grumbling about some ailment.
