She loves to read, and when 1 want to get her to do the things "that fit her to be of worth," all that is necessary is to say, for example, "Jane, you may read after you have practiced your music, not before, remember." To be denied her book is far more of a punishment than to be disciplined in any other way. 1 The ideal is fine and helpful, but two little daughters, aged six and nine, sometimes cause me almost to‘ lose sight of it. They are quite dif-I ferent in temperameni and I find that what works with one is not efficacious,l with the other. The younger child| loves to visit at a neighbor‘s, and!| after she had been over several times: recently, I suggested that she lhould; play at home that afternoon. When| she disobeyed and went over there, l, brought her home, gave her her sup-' per, and put her to bed. It was only‘ an hour before her usual bedtime, but she so loves to sit up after daddy! comes in that it has kept her from!‘ running away since. So:metimes shoz gets angry and strikes. Then I tie a carpet rag loosely around her arm,‘ telling her that when daddy sees that,! it will make him know that the little arm has been naughty again. She‘ would rather be punished in any way than to wear the rag on her arm. I never have to leave it on more than a few minutes before she comes to . me repentant and begs me to forgive: Meal After Vacation time brings with it added problems in discipline. We make a mistake when we think of discipline as only "making children mind." That, properly understood, it is an effort on the parent‘s part so to reguâ€" late the instinctive desires of the child that by his own efforts he graduâ€" ally fits himself to be of worth to his‘ generation.

I place small pieces of bar soap or soap chips in the cheesecloth bag and then make my suds.

With the latest in ironâ€" ing boards at which to do one‘s work, all these troubles are avoided. The board rests on its own stand and it is so braced and arranged that it is steadiness itself; yet it is not a big cumbersome affair, but light and easâ€" ily handled. There is no brace at the one end, so that one may slip the frocks and all the other garments which must be put on the board to be ironed right over it without moving a thing. Imagine how much more quickâ€" ly the work can be finished with a! board of this kind. When one has finished the ironing the board may be‘ folded and placed out of the way, so that it takes up no more room than the old kind which requires supports. Sometimes I get so discouraged that, were it not for our little bedtime talks, when the girlies and I go over the mistakes of the day and resolve to make a fresh start with the new morning, I should feel like giving up entirely.
