Convalescent days, are, except for the lessening of anxiety, the hardest during the protracted illness of a little child. He has always been so active and in- confined, so dependent upon his play mate for pleasure, so Interested in play. that the period of recovery becomes wearisome to himself, and exhausting to his caretakers. The nurse is lucky who has been a kindergartener or has had a course in play. The amusements of the sickroom are necessarily limited. They may be ab sorbing, but they ought not to be ex citing. They should all be suited to a sitting or lying posture, and they should not tax the eyes, the fingers or the trunk muscles. Some of them should be suited to solitary play, which is the happiest and most restful kind under the circumstances. - The playfel low may naturally hope that a few of them at least .shall prove to have suf ficient serial interest to be taken up with renewed pleasure day after day. Best of all, they should be used to en courage self-control, self-reliance and cheerfulness. Playn for Little Children. Babies like things that appeal to their senses; which they can put In their mouths, handle and make a noise with. The kit of playthings for the baby's bedroom does not have to be expensive. Such common articles as smooth stones, spools, iron keys, bells, tin dishes to clash together, rubber ani mals, boxes, blocks and 'bottles are quite as acceptable as anything the toy store furnishes. . A ball suspended above the feet to induce stretching will encourage active exercise. If the baby is old and strong enough to sit up for a while a pasteboard shoe box full of bright objects such as a shoe horn, an old tea strainer, some shiny metal toys and pieces of colored cloth will in turn catch and hold his attention. For the Kindergarten Child. iFor the- child of kindergarten age things to construct and change are de lightful. There, are light nests of boxes. easy sectional puzzles, small nails to pound into bars of soap, soap bubbles to blow. By taking a small, soft pine board and driving nail holes half an inch deep close together a homemade peg board is fashioned, into which ends of matches may be set in patterns. If the child -can ' be bolstered up, a sand box set just over the bed and snuggled up close to the child will be an inexhaustible pleasure. It should be furnished with spoons and small kitchen dishes with which to dijv and mould, and clothespins, spools, buttons and scraps of bright ribbons with which to make men and scenery. Dolls and Quiet Games. . The doll is of course a standard me dium of pleasure at this period. The Noah's ark represents a larger family assortment and may either stand on the sand box or sail over the bed clothes. When Stevenson was a little sick boy he used to play, you remem ber, with toy soldiers on "the pleasant hills of counterpane." Children of this age never like to play with any one thing for a very long time, and when they are ill games must be extremely short and simple. Do you remember "the old, old. old, old lady and the boy that was half past three" who used to play the game In which each guessed where the other was (imaginatively) hiding? Such a story-game is ideal. Stories told during this period should all be 'happy and soothing. A prism hung in the window to make "light-birds" is always a Joy. Plays for School Chlldrea. Youngsters of this age are increas ingly querulous and demanding; Noth-Ing-' seems to last. I have found. a very godd way to help pass the -time was to do up a number of simple amuse ments in separate packages, marking them. "To be opened at 10." "Not to be opened till after a nap." etc, so that some fresh surprise would be antici pated every hour of the day. Another way of arriving at the same end Is to fasten each package to the magnetized "fish" of a magnetic fishpond'and let the child fish for them with the fish hook. The articles enclosed should consist of materials rather than fin ished playthings, such as sewing-cards, hitttnn. nd cardboard to make but ton dolls, bottles and scraps for bottle dolls, clothespins and crepe paper for clothespin dolls, color-stencils, paints and pictures and paper with which to make and rm scraDDoons. Things That Call for Skill. As this Is still the doll-age. the child will enjoy making dollhouses and fur. niture out of cardboard, papering doll houses and cutting various articles out of wholesalers" catalogues ana news paper advertisements. Children be tween 10 and la will like Deaa-worK and weaving, tinkering with old elocks and watches, clay-modeling, coloring pictures and making small traps ana whistles. For solitary play, puzzles, stamp collections, Jackstrawt. Jackstones, tumbleline. anagrams and other letter- games, lotto and solitaire are sug- gestedL X have found that to tell a chapter or two of a continued story each even ing and ask the child to Illustrate each installment the next day in a notebook was of tireless Interest. One mother encouraged her little girl to give names, ages and characters to each of her dolls and carry on their adven tures from night to night herself. Thus she succeeded in putting her to sleep In good and happy company. The High School Tears. Toung people who are "111 ought to be resourceful for themselves. I need only Hat a few sugestlona. WorkiDg an old typewriter, practicing a mu sical instrument, doing pyrography, passe partout or painting, playing cro kinole, checkers and one of the minia ture baseball games. These devices are of importance, not only because they give happiness and hasten recovery, but because they are direct antidote to those vices of ill health, self-pity and inconsiderateness of others. Hon to Dlicoorage a Boy From Being Stingy. - To the Editor: 'Ferdinand is posi tively stingy. He won't share his playthings. He never wants to treat his friends. It seems to hurt him 1o spend money. This strikes me as a bit unusual, ought I try to alter his atti tude? JAMES F. C. So far as this trait Indicates thrift and a sense of values it Is encourag ing. Perhaps he has rather unusual self-sufficiency and finds that he does not need many things to entertain him self .with. Stinginess cannot be cured in B day. In a movie scenario was. a sentence that read: "The miser leans up against the wall and grows gen- erdus." You can't see generosity grow. To ge him to give, you mast get him to love. Yon can encourage a friend ship with some particularly generous- minded boy. lou can bring to his knowledge cases of real misery. His systematio mind may be pleased at the Idea of separating a small, regular sum from his budget with which to be kind and friendly. It is these cool, sys tematic grvers who sometimes beepme the. wisest benefactors. Can InipalKlve Goodness Be Made More Rraalarf To the Editor: Mary a good child. but she is good by fits and starts. I never ktiow when I can depend on her. Do you think it is the fault of her age? She Is only 8. CORDELIA U. M. virtue has oeen compared to a notei blanket. When you Vover your feet It Are You Intoxi cated? The question fa not as impertinent as it sounds. You may be a real teetotaler and yet be "intoxi cated" that is, poisoned by 'the gases that come from imperfect digestion. The products of food putrefaction are taken up by the blood and often poison the entire system. Cut out meats and starchy foods for a while. Eat Shredded Wheat with milk or cream for breakfast; eat it with stewed fruits and green vegetables for dinner or supper. It will cure auto intoxication and make a new man of you. All the meat of the whole wheat in a digestible form. A perfect meal at lowest cost. Made at Niagara Falls, N. Y. comes off your shoulders. When you cover your neck your toes suiter. It is a good blanket, but there isn't enough of it. Mary is. as you say. good,: but her charities, while they cover a multitude of her sins, don't yet cover them all. Then she doesn't fully know. "Teach me what the truth is. so I can always tell it." was another little girls pitiful appeal to her mother. The "tits and starts" of good ness are quite human. As we grow older we are not so pitiful; and we get self-starters. Klectlon to Be Contested. H1NTON. W. Va.. Jan. 3. Attorneys for United States Senator W. E.
