The janitors paused in the tance of studying the peculiarities of each individual child. They would do well to put greater emphasis upon the necessity of knowing the funda- mental eimilarities, Most parents already know their children’s peculi- artttes, They know how Tommy is different from Bilty and how the boys are different from the girls, but as to their fundamental natures, which are similar, and as to the best way of appealing to the right tn- stincts for particular results, many are in the dark. All children are born with certain instincts common to the race, They have the same individual instincts, the same adaptives, the same social, the same regulative and the same parental instincts. And to these, generally found to treat them all about the same under similar condi- tions, ‘The chances are if any one of a thousand other ohildren had visited him and refused to obey, he would have used the same method.

OW, in Babylon there dwelt a Sage, who knew “all about WOMEN!” And in his youth he had been called “Heartbreaker.” And his fame was great in the land. And there came unto him a Youth in great sorrow, saying: “Tell me, oh Master, HOW shall I succeed with women? For lo, I have tried everything, from flattery to indifference, and from platonic friendship to a perate devotion; yet not ONE woman hath looked upon me, save {n amusement or in boredom, or as a ‘good thing!’ Wherefore, I am lonely and sad of heart!” And Heartbreaker took pity on him, and answered him, saying: “My Son, in the art of Love-making there are many tyros and but FEW experts. Yet the secret of charm- ing @ woman is simpler than a War salad! “For, in love as in war, te ‘tactics’ are the same. “And the slogan thereof is, Take them OFF their guard! “Go to! What profiteth {t a man to praise the Beauty for her love- Mness, and the Highbrow for her wit, and the Stren for her emiles, and the Dutiful Damsel for her saintliness? For hath she not heard THIS thing many times before? And doth she not know it by heart? “Lo, the Tyro saith always the usual thing, but the Expert openeth his mouth only to say the unexpected; and his offensive is always a SUR- PRISE! “Behold, he hath all women classified and labelled; and his heart is @ perfect Filing Cabinet! “Unto the Siren and the Grass Widow he saith: “Go to! Thy wiles do not deceive me! For beneath them all thou hast a SOUL!’ And thy heart ts simpler than a debutante’s and sweeter than honey and myrrh. Yea, it is thy childish innocence which I adore!’ “But unto the ingenue he sigheth: “‘alas, WHY art thou so blase and cynical! be AFRAID of thee!’ “Unto the Beauty he saith: “Verily thy loveliness may blind others. But, as for me, it is the beauties of thy MIND which I worship. For thou art that rare and un usual thing—an INTERESTING woman!’ “But unto the College Graduate he murmureth: “Nay!

Both ladies gave a delicate wave of the hand at Mrs. Stryver’s house as though to signify their respect to one of thelr own sphere—a*hough Mrs, Stryver was not at the wrhdow. Mrs, Stryver lived in a private house and was never at the window. Being at the window was also considered as “hopelessly middle class.” Mrs, Stry- ver’s maid stood at the window and told her mistress what was going on. ‘It's Mre. Mudridge - Smith, ma'am,” said the maid, “She's tak- ing Mrs. Jarr for a ride.” “Oh, yes, to the meeting of the Ladies’ War League at the St. Croesus," remarked Mrs, Stryver, “How could I have forgotten? Felice, phone for my car and dress me.” Tt may be that some subtle psychic message was conveyed to Mrs. Jarr and Mrs, Mudridge-Smith that Mrs. Stryver would also be with them, for Mrs. Jarr turned to her friend and remarked: “Everybody's going into war work these days, are they not?" “All the EXCLUSIVE people are.” replied the other, “Jack Silver is try- ing to get a commission, now that he will be drafted and it is too late for him to marry. Mr, Stryver makes munitions; we are deciding on a spe- cial uniform—and so it goes.” “Do you think that man Dinkston can get a commission to write war poetry when Mr. Jarr will have to be exposed to danger?" asked Mrs, Jarr. “He'll have to do something or go to jail—and not for alimony,” replied along with practically all children regardless of individual disposition, while others scarcely get along with any. ‘This is due primarily to @ dif- ference in their practical knowledge of the instincts and the correct ways of appealing to them for results, The mother of the fourt chil- dren muppgeesty would use a differ- ent method on each one for teaching truthfulness, for example.

Meanwhile Mr. Jarr, getting out of a street car, looked after his good lady, with a frayed collar sawing im to the bone at the base of the skull and wondered what there would be for his dinner, or whether the would be any dinner now that Mrs, Jarr was being trundled around towa on war work by a lady of the ex- leisure class in an electric town ear, But then he remembered that Gere »» the maid, was probably at home preparing war munitions in the shape of biscuits for himself and the children, But the ladies, sighting him, stopped the car and took him along, ‘They were out on war work and pers mitted no husbands to slack. ——~.
