It Means' planning yohr work so that each day you may have_a play- time,. a storytime with -those children of yours, " , The stories and the inauguration 'of your games forever be engrossed on the golden screen of their monior- on the golden semen of their memor- ies. But, ohl those hee.etaches and 'ed,edresses and suits of theirse-they are bitter thoughts for children. No pleasant hours of play or sunshine are there for either of you. to remember. Oh, no, you simply couldn't work all day Tike a slaye and' "Come smiling throtigh" like a newly washed window. Where is there a girl who has- not at some tirne other climbed fences and apple trees much; or Slid down banisters, that Mother did not vow, "She'll. be a perfect Tomboy?" Then when coast -time mane, mother -was sure of it , Where is :there a boy who, has not at some' time seemed so superlatively lackadaisical, with no apparent inter,,: est in anything worth -while, -that Mother did not vow---"He'll.never get past the fifth grade, it he gets that far"? Where is there a child who' has not at some time or other in his or her career chewed a piece of gum so long that it should have been pensioned? Perhaps we 'would get a stick of guin at name We wolild chew it after lunch —then park it under the desk until school was dismissed. We would chew going,home from school, from then till slipper time, After supper,when we went about our lessons „for the next day, we would. still be chewing it. Finally, would come that awful mo - Ment when mother 'Would say, "Don't you think you've 'chewed that gum just about long enough?" Then we would have to throw it into the stove and let the fire hold a post mortem of it. Everyone of us have done those same juvenile tricks. Perhaps we hate to admit it, but nevertheless, we are all guilty. It sounds as if we,had a poor upbringing; it sounds as if there had. been a lack of sophistication in our homes. But it is those episodes and simultaneous ones that go to make childhood the treaeured part of life that it is. Childheod is the hout for play. Longfellow knew it; Virhittier lniew it; Mark Twain was sure of it. Their writings are filled to overbrimming by the mirth of children out in God's "great, wide, beautiful, wonderful world." Even when their bodies had lost their flexibility and suppleness of youth; their days of , neuralgia and rheumatism were upon them—they could still leolc upon the old halcyon days when they, too, -wore, children. Where are "dem . yourig uns" of yours?
