And besides The other's ci,•xnteuan-e re'a2tee in used to have lots of them, and he told all these, there were to be— These two causes should be treated •he very different ways. Take the case of the imaginative child. When one really thinks about it, what is more natural than that such a child should be afraid of the darkness? The unknown has its fears for most of us, and for the emagina tive most of all. And to a child, bow many things in this strange world in which it finds' itself are unknown. It has to explore everything. itself and it never knows what will be the next. surprise., The darkness must neces- sarily be mysterious to it, What may come out of the darkness to its bed- side? Some strange, dreadful mon- ster like the scarecrow that fright- ened it is in the field, or perhaps that great spider that frightened Miss Mufeett so much—it seemed to do it on purpose—or the three bears might come all round the bed, for they came all round Little .Goldie Locks' bed; it said so in the story. Such thoughts are quite natural; and even more terrifying ideas than these oc- cur to the imaginative child, for it is quite capable to drawing on that im- agination until it actually sees these things and to add to the horror, by hearing the scarecrow speak, or the bear's claws scratching on the floor; 'the furniture of the roam will take the shape of strange creatures who stand silently round 'watching unceas- ingly; in fact, there is no end to such night terrors when they once begin. Now how can all this be ended? The best thing a mother can do is to welcome that imagination in the child as her ally: Let her. try to plant in the child's mind the seeds of lave and trust. Teach the little one to see the good in everything. Don't let it fear or despise ugliness and deformity, but pity it. Let it understand that such things as fire and water and darkness are beautiful and useful and our friends; that animals are here to be loved and to love us, and that if they scratch and bite it es generally be- cause they have been badly treated, even lions and tigers da not kill for cruelty but for food,. Along such lines the child's imagination willtake the right attitude to things, and wonders will have been' accomplished. For the carne reason choose a child's reading from the first along these lines—no fairy stories of cruelty and horrors.' Such stories are too common—but beautiful fairy stories of pretty fairies and good spirits and lovely deeds. And above all, teach it to love nature. The case of the child who has been frightened is different, Though what i deprecat..ry smile.

And they should be a help to ie economy to obey them. family life,: unfortunately for the housekeeper, punishment for the breaking of these rules does not al- ways fall on those who break them. Too often it is the housekeeper or the servants who get the- punishment.. Nevertheless, it is possible to 'formu- late a set of household rules, and to drill one's family to obey them. Per- haps without actual punishment they can be made to believe that the most comforable way of living Is to ob- serve the rules set down by the house- keeper. And to the housekeeper these rules can be made a means of saving time and energy and nerve force. Think over every rule you announce before you speak of it. For a foolish rule; lilte a foolish law; breeds disre- spect on the part of those who. are asked to observe it. There can be.Aust rules about promptness at meals, about individual duties for each member of the house- hold, about opening wn'dows, about, closing screen doors, about caring for the clothes and many other things, And each. of these rules can be . so worded that it will seem reasonable, and at the same time so thought, out that it will bring relief to.the one on whom the burden of housekeeping co: . i' ua:v �, Oi . ;,;r leas well rC_'na a ".fills A tremendous number of accidents result from the breaking of rules. ;sometimes the rules are not laws, laid down in black and white and en- forced by law, but they are rules, just the same. Many motor accidents come because of speeding, driving on the wrong aide of the road, disobeying traffic regulations 1n the' city streets. Many accidents to pedestrians occur because they don't stay on. the side- walks, and when they must cross the streets they don't do so at the cross - hags.
