Mary Brett was ono of those rare
souls who practiced hospitality as alt
integral part of real religion. She
had always been careful to entertain

In fact, I wonder if we ever can con-
scientiously stop keeping an eye on
_ them, even after they cast their first'
vote. So if Johnnie or Mary are to be'
kept up to the stark, we must weigh
m 'them every month or so, and pleasure'
I them at least twice a year. Measur-
ing evervono every birthday is not
-• only an exciting event, it is instrue

Common sense and judgment must
be used in making our deductions
from these weighing and measuring
tests, We all ]snow there are children
who seem undersized, but are perfect-
ly well, while often the large boy or
girl who grows "by leaps and bounds"
ie really the one who heeds medical
attention. Too rapid giie�w•th is as
harmful as too slow. If theundersized
child seems perfectly well, sleeps well,
eats well, is not nervous or whining,
is not troubled with adenoids or any
of the other ailments which afflict so
many children, there is no reason to
be alarmed if he does remain under-
sized. But if he is fretful or ,cross,
tires easily, sleeps badly, is captious
about his food and all out of sorts,
consult a doctor.

T watched the birds. They screamed
and fluttered their sooty black wings,
Suddenly a number plunged into the
water. I saw then struggling and
flapping; then the men pulled them
up by stout strings, caught then under
their arms, and jerked the fish from
their moutdls. I saw a gleam of silver
as they tossed the fish into a basket.
The commotion aiming the birds sub-

Baby's Play Box.
I have never had as much real good
froin any other article in my home
as from the plain grocery box forty
inches long by twenty-five wide, and
eighteen inches or a little more in
heighteehat was converted into a play
box for Baby. A soft pad was made
just large enough to fit the bottom in
order that it could be taken out and
cleaned easily, Pieces of an old quilt
were tacked over the tipper edges,
making them soft, and the inside was
cal•eflally lined with an old flannel
blanket, the edges being brought down
to cover the padding ate, the top. This
did away with danger from slivers and
there were no tacks et the top to
seratch a little hand or chin.
When baby was old enough to
creep I could go down cellar or up-
stairs without fear of: his attempting;
to follow me, for I dropped bin in the:
play box for safe keeping. With baby,
in his box I could go to the chicken
coop or garden without worrying lostI
he climb and fall, or burn himself on
the stove, He never pulled off a table-
cloth or tipped over a pail of boiling
water; he never pulled the cat's tail
in my absence and found hate sharp'

vane I could drop him in his play box
and sit down to visit for a few min -
