Every parent follows' with grea interest each step of, development in their children, 'Baby's first smile, his first, step, the first time he lisps "mamma" er "papa" ad'e memories i every mother's and father's life whic time cannot efface. When the child first enters school, this interest in his development as turally follows. But, if the chil enters this new period of his life handicapped by defective vision, dis- astrous consequences are sure to fol- low, In his class work he is unable to see the work at the board clearly, and in his reading the words becoine jumbled. By his extra effort to see more plainly, he soon becomes tired; both mentally and physically. ! Inattention will be the first impres- sion the teacher will receive of him, and his fellow pupils evill soon con- sider him stupid, dull or lazy. As the child continues to be outclassed in his schoolroom and his playground activi- ties, a reaction detrimental to his pro- gress is evident,. He becomes discour- aged, sullen and ofttimes rebellious. On the teacher's list he is placed as a stupid child. His parents, if they do not place the blame of his lack of progress with the teacher, try to make amends for this condition by de- manding that he do more home study. This second course may cause even more trouble by creating a greater strain on the child. But in. it,alsolies the means for the solution of the problem. If this horne-work is care- fully supervised by one or the other of the parents, they are given the opportunity to study the child when he is working, and to discover, if pos- sible, the cause of the trouble. Because no member of the family has ever worn glasses is no reason to covesn up the -needs of the children. We would then urge every parent to con- , sider their children's eyes. If there Is any reason to suspect that they are having trouble with them, it is a great injustice to fail to have them attended to immediately. Neglect in this, as well as in other cases, is sure to bring disappointment and regret. A RING PARTY. Rings can be made the appropriate n motif of a party given in honor of a h friend's engagement. Writ the invitations on pretty paper cut out to represent Zings. Give the guests as souvenirs little tin rings bearing the names or Initials of the engaged couple. Gifts to the guest of honor should be articles such as cookie cut - tees, moulds, napkin rings or em- broidery hoops. Decorate the house with wreaths and serve refreshments, if possible, in the form of rings. Any number of things will suggest them- selves to the hostess: salads made of cucumber or tomato rings; beet pickles and French fried potatoes cut in rings; cups made of mashed pota- toes or cooked carrots and filled with creamed pea e seasoned and all brown- ed in the oven; macaroni ringlets or noodles served in various dishes; sandwiches cut ring-shape or rings of sliced meats; doughnuts; and ice cream in ring moulds. HOME MANNERS. We suppose there never was a mother who was not at some time or other embarrassed by, the actions of °nerd, her children away from home. Ye't. some mothers are continually em- barrassed in this menner and will say to the children after taking them home from a visit to relatives or friends, "What made you act that way? Have you no company man- ners?" To tell the truth, few children have any "company manners," if such an expression is allowable. They stet away from home very much as they are in the habit of acting at, home. ey have not reached that stage of development where they can smile and bow and say they are having a lovely time when they are bored to death and, want to go home. Children are usual- ly honest and outspoken, and it is hard to make them anything else. Also, if they are in the habit of reach- ing across the table for things at home they .are going to do it away from home and howl when their moth- ers grab them and pull them back into their chairs .none too gently. If they say "please" and "thank you" at home they will say it away from home, un- less overcome with stage fright; or they will run in front of people with- out even saying "excuse me," because. they have not had this little act of' courtesy trained into them. Children always' like to know. the why of things and they learn. little daily habits of courtesy better if they are told way they are asked to do them. Then little stories are made up or games which help drill the little habits into their consciousness. But above everything else, the example of A POPULAR MASQUERADE COSTUME. ' qqq - 4644.
