cur part and not because he was born
with a bad temper.
Older children are much the same
way. When Jimmie has a cross day
he probably ate too much rich pud•
ding the night before, or maybe his
eyes have caused a slight headache.
Very young children are frequently
cross because the ears ache and they
cannot tell the mothers, but it will be
noticed that they keep rubbing the
head near the ear. Little backs some-
times ache as well as big ones, and
the child who is habitually cross needs
a good physical examination rather
than punishment. He may have mere-
ly developed ugliness of temper, it is
true, but quite often there is a rea-
son even for that which, when made
clear, may surprise tlll parents.
There has been so much said in the
last few years about the effect of the
mental activities on the physical well-
being that we have overlooked to some
extent the physical discomforts on the
mental well-being. • Many a naughty
child needs the doctor or the dentist
and he gets scolded instead. For that
matter, we grown-ups are not any too
easy to live with when we are not
feeling well, so why expect more of
the children? A simple physical ex-
amination may show that crossness is
not just due to old-fashioned original
sin.
IN MODERATE CIRCUMSTANCES
BUT HAS THEM ALL.
I do not like this spirieof antagon-
ism so often exhibited when the ques-
tion of household conveniences comes
up, so much stress being laid on the
man's abundant supply of tools, etc.
I find very often the wife is slow to
put in improvements when she her-
self has the money. A hearty co-
operation between husband and wife
is the better way. I have never yet
been obliged to ask for any kitchen
convenience. Our house is equipped
with:
1. Electricity. We have a power
washer, iron, and vacuum cleaner,
lights in all rooms, including closets
and dark corners.
2. Two electric water systems, one
for, hard watel, and one for soft.
These systems have no storage tanks
(except the cistern for soft water),
and were installed by my husband
himself, thus saving much expense.
The hard water is piped to the kit-
chen sink and the bath room, besides
three out -door hydrants for sprinkl-
ing lawns and cleaning porches and
windows'. It is also piped to the hen
house and barn. The soft water, hot
and cold, is piped to the bath room
and kitchen sink and the range res-
ervoir.
3. A large kitchen cupboard, eight
feet long and as high as the room.
. This cupboard is made in two parts
with a space of eighteen inches be-
tween. The lower cupboard is ten
inches wider than the -upper one, mak-
ince a large convenient shelf for set-
ting things, this shelf being covered
with aluminum. The lower part is
fitted with a covered tin bread box,
• above which is a bread board which
pushes in when not in use.
4. An enameled sink, severty-two

The Official Baby.
The arrival of a party of Swazi
chiefs in England reminds the London
Chronicle of the visit of a similar de-
putation in 1804 and its introducton to
Queen Victoria, which shook a little
eves her experienced equanimity.
"We come, 0 great mother," trans.
lated the interpreter, "to bring to thee
our babe. TOO him, 0 mother, tasethy
knees; told him to thy breast."
At that stage the queen wee becom-
ing Maimed, "But Where is the child?"
she cried. "1 don't see him."
"Here, 0 Maher," said the Swazi,

savage six feet tall and weighing dOrt-

"Nonsense. You wouldn't come here
and tell me that Mr. Merrington is
going to be arrested for the murder
of his wife unless you wanted me to
help you to put the rope round his
neck. Why, it's as good as warning
Mr. Merrington and giving him a
chance to escape."
"Oh, he can't escape," laughed Mr.
Crust, nor can you for that matter.

"Oh, this is horrible," said Merring-

thought you underetood--,"
"Yes, yes, but it's never been

"No, the ugly part—the business
side—of this cruel tragedy has been

Merrington shivered as though a
cold wind had passed through the
room, There was nothing beautiful
—nothing sacred about death when
the law began to touch it with its
dirty fingers. He felt as though some-
one had desecrated his wife's grave.

Mr. UU Crust's eyes wandered round
of youth. As a cook Mrs. Watson had
surpassed herself. The weather had
been fine, and there had been long ex-
peditions in the car. Sir Alexander
had been in high spirits, and had not
even grumbled about the roow at the
inn.
Ruth at last had time to think of
John Merrington. Her husband and
Lady Anne had left for London in the
car, and it was to return that same
day. Ruth was tired, and there was
a certain amount of reaction after the
bustle and excitement of the week-
end. She sat out on the balcony in
the sun. She seemed very lonely—
alone with the sea and the marshland.
And most certainly she was tired—so
tired that it would not be very diffi-
cult to pretend that she was ill, And
of course she would have to pretend
that she was ill. Her next sitting
had been fixed for to-tnorrow. She
would have to send a telegram to Mer-
rington---a telegram that would prob-
ably be the last communication she
would make to him.
"I shall have to be very ill," she
thought, "and then Alec will write or
send a wire."
Fletcher, who had not retained to
London, carne out on to the balcony
and asked for orders. Fletcher had
taken control of the household affairs.

THE automobile as a productive factor in
Canadian business has proved of greater
value than any other single invention. By
shortening distances and time, the automo-
bile brings buyer and seller together more
quickly, conveniently and economically than
any other means of transportation.
The automobile has increased man's earning
power many times over. And Chevrolet, the
lowest -priced quality car in the world pro-
vides
this efficient transportation at a. lower
price per mile than does any other car built.
Continuous daily service under difficult con-
ditions only proves the complete depend-
ability and stamina of this practical car.
In appearance Chevrolet does credit to any
business house or professional or private per-
son. In appointments and equipment it is as
complete as the moat discriminating owner
could wish.
