The easiest way to teach a child to
. think Is through play. The mother can
begin to ting Mother Goose rhymes to
the mere . Inf ant-ln-arms. As the child
grows, he recognises the words and
often the tunes. Later, he will ask for
his favorite songs or rhymes, and . then
' begin to sing and recite, himself. Up to
', thin rutin thai mnthpr has accomplished
three things: Strengthened the memory.
-. cultivated an ear for music and the
ability to carry a simple tune, and en
larged the child's vocabulary.
Be' sure to .use only the best grammar
-a hen talking with a child. Baby talk is
funny for the grown-ups for a while,
but the difficulty the child faces in over
coming this is tremendous.
: As the child grows older, a story-hour
-Should become a part of each day. This
it really a lesson in language. The
mother should begin with the finger
clays when the child Is eight or nine
'.: months old. such as "This is the
-t church and this is the steeple," "Pat-a
'' cake." and the counting lesson, "The
thumb is one : the pointer, two ; the
middle finger, three: ring finger, four
' little finger, five. And that is all you
"- see. wnai me cnuu lrninneo nc ucjun
. to understand.; That is the great pur
too of the finger plays.
As the child grows, other stories can
be added to the story-hour. A normal
' Child, from about two years of age on.
' loves the stories of "The Three Bears,"
"The Three Pigs," "Little Half Chick.
' ' '"Little Red Hen," and other similar
tmriln tales, a list of which will be
found at the conclusion of this article.

repeat the old-time jingle, "One, two,

; at how quickly the little ones will begin

.'''- Tq develop the power of concentration,
without which no human being can be
. . successful In life, there must be a certain
amount of directed play each day. Chll
' dren are given this In kindergarten, and
v the mother can also give it to them in
i . the home. When mother sews, the op
portunity to direct play is at once af-
'. forded, by having the child sit close by

" Large, colored, wooden, kindergarten
cubes and spheres, one inch In size, with
at hole through the center to string on
' shoelaces, are also fine for a lesson in
Concentration. This occupation should be
" permitted only when mother is close by
' t to watch and help.
. . . - For a child of three or older, kinder
garten sewing-cards which are perfor
ated and to be worked In colored wor
: Bteds', are Interesting and instructive.
' ." An economical way to procure such cards
" Is for mother or father to ,cut squares
. or oblongs out of cardboard, lightly
trace an. apple, ball, or some other ob-
'. Ject on one of the pieces and then per-
.-: forate the outlines every half inch, mak-
a Ing the holes as large as the head of a
pin. These outlines can then be sewed
r by the child in bright colors, working
'' up and down In the holes. Be sure tne
i ' outlines of the objects to be sewed are
large, as small objects are too trying

an English writer, the men consider
It beneath their dignity to not
women, much lesa to make overtures
of marriage. Consequently the pro
posing .Is left to the women to do.
When a woman "of New Guinea falls
lr. love with a man she sends" a pleoo
of string- to his sister, or If be has
no sister to his mother or another of
his lady relatives. Then the lady wno
receives the string; tells the man that
the particular damsel is' in love with
him. If the man thinks he would llko
to wed the lady he meets her alone
and they decide straight away whether
to marry or drop the idea. In the
former case the betrothal is announced,
the man is then branded on the bacc
with charcoal,' while a mark Is cut
Into the woman's skin.
No breach of promise actions are
possible in New Guinea, though if tne
lady is Jilted her v friends may hunt
her lover up. and "go" for him. On
the other hand, if the woman prove
faithless she is liable to be beaten by
ber betrothed.

" a fine spirit of cooperation between
husband and wife is exemplified In the
career of Judge John F. Hylan. New
Aork's newly elected mayor, who scarce
ly could have reached his present ex
alted position had it not been for the
devotion and assistance of Mrs. Hylan
over a long period of years.
Where the 999 elevated tracklayers
and engineers would have deemed It
Impossible to attain a judgshlp, let
alone the mayoralty of the biggest city
in. the world, the one who did possess
the stamina and courage for that un
dertaking may thank his wife that he
actually won. For John F. Hylan mar
ried a woman who has been his constant'
helper and Inspirer. Though he was
eager to spend seven hours attending
law classes after a long and hard day's
work as elevated train engineer, he
could not have completed his course suc
cessfully if Mrs. Hylan had not written
out his dally lessons for him. which he
studied while running his train.
There are a great many women who
would not have given themselves that
trouble, no matter how high their hus
bands promised to climb. But when you
look at her the secret of the Hylan fam
ily's suWess Is plain. A glance will
tell you that Mra. Hylan never wasted
her forces In self-pity. She has a
genuine relish for the game of life, for
overcoming obstacles and laughing at
discouragement. 1 am sure "that her
mind was never filled with half-baked
aspirations and that she never spent one
moment thinking that she was unap
preciated at home.
You can visualize her in those years
when she was the wife not of New
York's mayor, but the helpmate of an
elevated trainman getting up early In
the morning to do all the work of the
house, with her little girl. Virginia, to
cafe for. While she went about her
household tasks, trying to stretch her
husband's monthly wage of $100 just
as far as she could, her fine, wholesome
spirit must have shone out of her eyes
upon John Hylan just as It does now
upon a wider world. '
There Is not a family that could not
get along happily and successfully If
every member would bear his or her
share of responsibility. Cooperation
works just as well in family life as t
does in business. When one member f
a family undertakes an unusually se
vere tax on his energies he needs the
devoted tssistanc of every other mem
ber of his family. Yet. how many women

Ing. they were obliged to copy tiresome '
law l.'uson every day for a period of
several years.
This tendency may explain why there

discontent and complaining are under ,

countless persons. There ara a great -
many men who would le achieving
much greater success were It not for
nagging troubles at home. ;
Commercial statistics tell us thst tha
majority of men going Into business ara
failures. It is the exceptional man who
makes a success. The recent demand .
for food conservation has revealed an
appalling waste and a too-prevalent use
of hlt-or-miss methods in home-making. .?
In the face of these two well-known
facts, is it any wonder that there is so ,
much wretchedness?
The wif who does not know how far
she can count on the efficiency of ber
husband, and the husband who cannot
rely on the sustained devotion of, his
wife, groan under heavy handicaps,
whatever their talents. You cannot do
good work when you never know "where
you stand."

The life of Mrs. Hylan offers another
suggestion to women. Lone years of
hard work and poverty did not crush .

so many women. She took them as a -matter

Whenever you see a man full of ,en
ergy and ambition, eager to make an
ever-increasing sufes or nis nuaineaa -

that he has the heartiest kind of en
couragement and cooperation at home.
Likewise, whenever you see a woman
thoroughly devoted to her home and
family and manifesting a keen interest
In all that transpires in the outside

pABRIC checks are not to be meddled
with any more than paper ones, and
handling them Is about as dangerous as
juggling a high explosive. The naive
and Inexperienced dressmaker can do
more damage with a check than with
any other kind of a material, but let the
gown artist take the same design and
she'll hit the bull's-eye of high success.

Palm Beach attire is getting consid
erable attention, but mainly from the
shopkeepers. Palm Beach stuff isn't
anything definite. It is composed of
summer fabrics, but it is winter style
made over with azippy touch shapped
on here, there or other places. We are
wondering just how the Florida season
will pan out. The Red Crosser. who
has been packing woolen blankets and
sweaters for months and whose heart
is as war torn as her fingernails, knows
that she was never In such crying need

Strength and spirit, or shall she go on
with the job? We fancy she will stick,
as every good worker should. But if
she does fly away with the southbound
flock It's not up to the critic to carp.
In looking over the Palm Beach exhi
bition we observe many cunning trench i
vest effects. These garments are pat-'
terned after the sleeveless sweater and
permit the application of gay patterns
and designs to be worn with white
blouses and white sklrta. Odd decora
tions for frocks are buttons, loops and
girdles builded from raffia and beads
carved from wood. Whether or no
these pretty ornaments are the result
of dress conservation we cannot say, but
It Is rather a poetical idea that th
designers are seeking the trees and
grasses of the forest, as Eve sought the
fig trees in solving the first great dress
problem. Fancy a smock of black velvet
bearing a loose girdle of twisted raffia.
It's a delightful notion, rather Ophelia
like, yes? Handbags and knitting bags
of raffia can go to any wild limit of
company and becomes a jacket
This idea appears on several or trie est
suit models that are thrown together for
the consideration of the Palm Beachers. ;
It is predicted that the one-piece velvet
or satin frock is to be perpetuated In ;
taffetas as the season wears on. The !
argument against taffeta is that It spots j
r-adliy ; the argument against satin Is !
that It is too snakety-slinklty. At any j
ate we shall be happy to have old taf- J

has been deleted from the dress films.
Perhaps It will come back. Hooray !
The novelists will be able to write real
stuff again.
Anyhow,the textile wizards say that

or-what is called the "low bust" corset
is the most In demand and safest to
wear, as It protects the abdomen and ; suit or manteau. Further along in the
waist wimuui pumiiii. iue uuoi
from its natural place. -
The brassiere may be worn to protect
the bust and at the same time give a
freedom of movement to the entire
figure. Some doctors will tell 'you that
the proper way to lace a corset Is to lie
flat on your back in the corset and then
pull it into place and lace it firmly.
This must be a front-laced corset, of
course. The proper-sized corset is of
the greatest importance. When it comes
too close together it is too lrge and
when the lacing Is too far apart the
corset is too small. The adjustment
must be perfect 'to.' insure health and
comfort.
When corsets are too long they push
the flesh up and when they are too short
they allow the flesh, to bulge out below.
Therefore, whatever you do, have, a good
fitting corset and then- order two of
them. By wearing them alternately you
away season these materials will be comblnea
with straw, but even so a fabric hat
belongs to every month.

The hair la drawn up tight to the head
after the last rinsing, and a perfunctory
drying. Then the frame is adjusted and
buckled around the head. The hair is
