MOST children like homemade toys, especially if they can help in some way in their making. From vari ous articles not useful perhaps for a great number of other purposes and often, therefore, burned -up or thrown away, many playthings for the little ones may be made. Two empty spools cut in two will make four atout wheels for a little wagon; they may be of the same -size or the back wheels may be made from a spool a little larger than that -used for the front. Wooden meat skewers will make very good axles for such wheels and the front and back axles .can be fastened together with small pieces of wood a piece split from a shingle, will perhaps be strong enough A tin nabisco box will answer for the wagon box, fastened to. the run ning gears with small tacks or staples or simply glued in place. A homemade wheelbarrow is so easy of construction that any boy or girl can make one to help in the gar dening and yard cleaning work. For the wheel saw a heavy piece of wood into a square. With a pencil draw lines from each corner to the corner opposite and where these cross each other will he the center.' Tie a string to your pencil and hold one end of the string under your finger at the POPULAR GIRL WHOSE ENGAGEMENT IS ANNOUNCED." I Jff , c - J--? MISS LOUSE H. STEPHENSOV, FI center of the wooden piece and with the pencil at the other end draw a circle just within the square of wood. Saw and whittle off the corners of the wood and bore out a hole in the cen ter. Of course the smoother you make the edges of your wheel, the easier it will run. Put a stout piece of wood through the hole in the center of the axle and nail '. two . other strong wooden pieces to this axle with a cross-piece at the end op posite the wheel, to which two uprights should be nailed for the bar row to rest upon when not in motion. The two wooden pieces that are fas tened to the axle should be further apart at the end where the uprights are than at the wheel end. An apple box or a few boards may be nailed to this frame for the bed. Of course, if you can have a ready-made wheel your work will be easier. . TrainingThe ' CHILD BY WILLIAM BYRON FORBUSH.PH.D. THREE-FOURTH?; of the play of children is dramatic. It consists inturning somebody into somebody else. The favorite sport between 4 and 14 begins by- "dressing up." Kven if Frank is not - in costume; half the time if you look out of the window you cati plainly see that he is Bill, the Broncho Buster, or Ione. Wolf, the 'Rapahoe chief, or General Pershing killing Prussians. Lucy, meantime, is a lady receiving callers or-a. patient object of Frank's strenuous heroism. Kven floor play is imaginative, often serial. Kmp ty garages mav be anything from cas tles to pirates' dens, it the back yard can be dug up it contains a cave. If it is paved it is a battlefield. Fvf-n the par taking of food is seasoned with dreams, as witness the young Steven son, whose .morning pile of -oatmeal was a disappearing island. Action Always Wanted. Everywhere we see this desire to realize life. By rehearsal of til man has done and all man may do the chil dren enter into possession of this ro mantic world of ours. When they go to the playhouse they repeat and even enlarge the drama that they have beheld. They "do" the s-tories we tell them. No incident of the-das is so unusual or so grewsome that they do not act it out." But it is chiefly the virile deeds that count. What they admire id evident power. They-emulate the soldier, the sailor, the miner, rather than the book keeper or the clerk. Sedentary life yields them little.. Hut they are not snobbish. They do not disdain to play motorman. fireman, policeman, and es pecially "deteckatuff." It has been often suggested that we utilize this lively impulse in child training. ... "Impersonation." Dr. Richard C. Cabot says, "is the whole of morality." Applied to a child thl means: If you say to Fred. 'Be,.- a man,' he at once tries to -act the man. To some degree he becomes manly. A certain mother uses the doll with her little children in order to dramatize duty. She gives commands to the doll, the doll's little mother executes them. The subterfuge is transparent, J Dut it is erieciive. i nere is, or course, much playful dialogue. Mother' Method Effective. Another mother has several imagi native names that she gives her small daughter. It is "Bridgdet O'Flaherty" who helps with the dusting, and "Dinah Jones." colored, who wipes the dishes, and "Miss Araminta Hopkinson" who asslstsMn clearing up the library. She is careful never to confuse these names and duties. It' is a familiar device to play that daughter is a-guest when one wishes her to dress up and practice her man ners. She can learn much of courtesy by "making calls" on mother and shar ing afternoon tea Putting a soldier's cap on a stubborn small boy quite altered his attitude as to prompt obedience. To do the duties of a watchman,., while mother is gone, or of a poMceman when there is the baby to guard, may idealize homely re sponsibilities. One youngster "of 5 de veloped a furious hostility to weeds when informed 'that they Were Huns. It is often , possible to separate a child from the offense he has eommit tedted by asking the "good child" to come back, after Satan has been cast out. A minister's wife carried thli moral duel further by encouraging her small family" to act out. in costumes of a homely-sort, the adventures of the Israelites -against their favorite faults personified 3 Philistines, As ml 1 H 3 ' Jft if .C- ACEE OP PAl'l, C. OKTIIROP, syrians and Moabites. Pimply to draw lots for tasks has gilded them suf ficiently to prevent shirking and quar relsomeness. To let each in turn he "captain of the day" lias yielded peace to more than one militant household. Iet us pass down to our children that most precio-is lesson of adult experi ence, that often the best way to realize our ideal is to idealize the real. ' Boy Dcrwn't Seem Affectionate. To thA Krlitor: It hurts me that Francis Is not more demonstrative in liln affection to warii me. I am Mire lie loves me clearly, but he doesn't often show it. ALMA MATER. Kven if Francis were demonstrative he. .would not like to be laughed at by his chums, and he certainly would be if he should be caught showing his af fections in -public. Boys are usually less demonstrative than girls. and many boys are never outwardly re sponsive. The finest way to show af fection is by considerateness. I would be more desirous that Francis should demonstrate his love that way than any other. Mother, be candid with yourself. Haven't you seen some other mother's son who wns very effusive, and tho.ight how nice it would be to have this kind of flattery shown to yourself? Don't mind if Francis doesn't show off very well. Remember Cardinal Newman's definition of a true gentleman, a one who never willingly gives pain. That's the best kind.
