Although children may love 'their mother very perfectly as children, "they need a deal of train;ng as to the practical way of showing their love and also of taking their right - fel part in the work of the home. We have all known households where the week of keeping the house - held machinery running sntoethiy all • devolved upon the mother Ise the '•fancily. There might be sons and • daughters in the home but they seemed to take no responsibility of ..doing anything. Schoolgirls and schoolboys, they seemed to thinl'c that their whole duty was done when they ;got up their school week and as for the holiday time, why, holiday time Was holiday time and that meant they were entitled to enjoy it to the full without responsibility. They never seemed to think that Mother, who also worked all -the long year through at keeping the house and. looking. after their welfare, might like a little holiday, too. Holiday time to many a mother means extra work, as the young people like to have friends visiting them or -to go visiting, and that means extra work in entertaining or extra work in getting, her own brood ;wady to go visiting. Often in the case of a mother the owning of a summer home to which she can go and take her family Means little but extra work for the reason that the n•atving in and out of such a summer residence and the work of entertaining the many friends of her family who seem to expect invite. tions, entails more real effort on the part of the nl eller than would theworld to teach this lesson. regular routine in her town house.

If mothers nlsald take a little time to train the tiny tats to really help her site would be repaid one hundred fold in the days to come 'by having not rnly a trained but a willing help- er when the help would be so much appreciated.

But if you will take the trouble to notice the way families get along you will find, I think without exception, that the ohildren who are taught - to take their part in the duties of the home, take on some small responsibilities,. to live by certain rules, are mums happier and more easily amused and entertained than the children, in homes where they are pampered and allowed to do whatever they like.

What is to become of young mothers, with little babies, if they are forced to remain in the scorching heat of the city day after day. If you feel you cannot accept the re- sponsibility of housing a child, could you take a young mother with her baby and start them oil; on the high- road to health? They'd be eternally grateful to you. A 'hostess who did this very thing wrote to the Neighborhood Workers Association last week overjoyed at the improvement shown in her guests. "The baby's cheeks began to fatten out after the first week,' she wrote, "and 1 ant keeping then longer than two weeks to give them a chance to get really strong." Hostesses have, been marvelously kind. One had a little boy of 11..0n - the clay he was to. be 'sent home his mother was taken to the hospital. He has no' father.
