It is not the purPose of this article to teach you to entertain your child, but rather to tell you how to teach your child. to entertain ;himself. His older brothers and sisters are at school and it is often a problem to find some clean and healthy anamse- ments for the little toe.' I do not agree with many mothers who think their child should be taught to be a paragon of neatness and clean- liness. While the rudiments of order an tidiness must be Impressed on the plastic iniiids of our children, we, can not expect them to be contented and happy if never allowed to indulge in any of the amusements dear to the hearts of the little folks, such as blowing soap bubbles or cutting pa- pers. Of course, it makes mothers more work but it -does not make a disagreeable litter to sweep up and either amusement is clean. They both help to develop the child's imagina tion and love of creation, that is a natural trait in any normal child. We sai-e 411. the scraps of wrapping paper and now that:•the older chil- dren are in school, our little tot spends many 'happy hours making scrap books:' He cuts the paper the right size and with twine .and darning needle, sews the sheets together.

If the child is inclined toward a liking for books lie should be given every opportunity to develop along this line. It is the early training that forms a good foundation for his school training. He will spend 2-nany busy hours making himself acquainted with the characters of his picture book that will help in forming hisearly impres- sions. - Half a dozen potatoes and a hand- ful of burned matches may be employ Anoth ing have ie two poi of „curtains, for each window down- stairs.
