A characteristic too often over- looked, or at least unemphasized in the training of the children, is that of adaptability. How does your child respond to adverse conditions or new contacts? When you take him visit- ing does he make a roar because he can't sleep in his own bed or eat with his own spoon or ride in the front seat of the car as he does at home? If he responds unfavorably to new conditions then his training in con- forming to circumstances has been neglected. A child that cannot comply with the routine of the home in which he is a. guest can upset plans and create friction until the pleasure of the visit is spoiled for mother -and hostess ; and to prepare him so that this unpleas- > antness may be avoided cannot be done in the two or three days that precede a visit. | To be sure, a child should have his own things and should be held to a system of conduct at home else how can he form any habits of regularity? Not for a moment can this theory be discounted. And it is very well to 1 add that small children should be left at home as much as possible and not' subjected to a change of living condi- 1 tions but every mother knows that! there are exceptions to this rule. We ' cannot all have nurse girls and house- ' keepers, and we cannot always stay at home; so while we are training the children in good habits, let us not give them the idea that these habits are not adjustable to other conditions. Well, how shall we do it? The fun- damental point in adjustability is un- selfishness. In fact, when you stop to think of it, doesn't unselfishness al- most always solve the problem of fric- tion in social and business life? One little mother helped her chil- dren by having a guest day at home. On this day the whole family pre- ' tended they were dining some place else. Bobbie, instead of having his j high chair, sat on two books and a cushion as he has to do at Aunt El- len's when he visits there. And Esther had to eat with a big knife and fork and drink from a "grown-up glass" and there wasn't any milk so they drank water and were very polite about it You get the idea! The family arc lifted out of the rut boosted up as it were to peek over the highboard fence to see what is in the neighbor's yard. And the change of scene is in- spiring rather than annoying. In social life the happiest individual and the most popular is the one com- monly known as a good mixer, the qualifications for which are simply adaptability to circumstances and re- spect for the interests and ideas of others. So the sooner and the more thoroughly our children cultivate these traits, the easier will everyday living be for them and their associates, but only by thc careful patient guid- ance of the mother can these acquire- ments be attained. N. K. A. I After Every Meal WMG1EVS thermometer, egg beater, ladles, cork- screw. My kitchen cabinet is another stand- by that I should hate to do without and the food chopper that I keep in it is a convenience that I should greatly miss. An oil stove helps me many times when it is hot or I am too hurried to wait for the fire to catch. My oil mop is a great help in my cleaning also. Last but not least I want a few blooming plants on my kitchen win- dow shelf and a few pictures if only. cut from magazine covers a bit of; woods or some scene that widens thei walls of my kitchen, takes me in fancy away from the daily grind and feeds and refreshes my inner self so that I can be sweet and patient to those that depend upon me for the love and comfort that only a home can give. I often pin a bit of verse or a few lines of prose that appeal to me to my win- dow shelf over my work table that it may be my inspiration when I look that way.

Perhaps it is putting it too stronfr- ly to say I could not keep house with- out my list of desirable articles, be- cause I did keep house without many of them the first years of my married life. But I was buoyed up by the joyful anticipation of possession as soon as I could afford them. I believe I shall put my wire dish drainer first on the list because it is such a help and costs so little and is in use three times every day. Next I like my double boiler, and my steam cooker and Tireless cooker make a great labor-saving team. Our meals are properly cooked and in short order with these. My "ten cent counter" as the family calls it, is another great convenience. It is u small shelf that holds kitchen utensils such as funnels, measuring cup, potato ricer, paring knives, putty knife (a fine thing for cleaning sticky kettles), butcher knives and brushes.
