THE DON'T HABIT One of the easiest habits for mothers to form and one of the hardest for them to get rid of is this detestable "don't" habit. I wonder if you realize, dear mothers, how many times a day you say don't to Tommy and Polly. yourselt tomorrow, when you are about your work or sitting down for a half hour's sorely needed rest and count the number of times you exclaim, "Oh, children, don't do that!" We all do it. We forbid them to run in the house, we reprove them for taking a book down from the case to look at, we complain that they ask tpo many questions, we restrict them of their liberty and their pursuit of happiness until I think it is a marvel that they ever learn to have any self confidence or self reliance. I took my book out into the park the other day, and sat there reading while mothers wheeled their babies up and dowrr in their baby carriages or sat on the benches while the older children played about them.

After a while I became interested in two mothers who sat together on a bench near the one I had chosen. They were talking to each other, keeping halfa eye, meantime, on two tod dlers in the path. One of the little fellows stooped down and began to scrape the dirt with his hands. "Oh, I Willie, you bad boy!" one of the women exclaimed. "Get right up out of that dirt!" The other youngster was trying to climb on one of the benches and Just then his mother looked around and espied him.

"Get right down, Robert," was her command. "You will fall and hurt yourself." Everything those poor babies did in the hour and a half that I sat there was called off in just that way. They could not run up and down the path for fear they would fall and soil their clothes', they could not play with a stick they picked up in the grass because it was "a nasty stick" and might hurt them. If they sat down in the grass, the mothers promptly jumped up and pulled them to their feet. Just what benefit those women thought their children were to get from that kind of an outing I cannot see.

But isn't it monstrous to take healthy, whole some, normal children out into God's free air, where they should run and jump and drink all they can. of it into their tender little lungs, and then forbid them to do the very things for which one would suppose they were brought there? It takes self control, every day and all the time, not to say don't. We forget that children are not grown up that they are not yet civilized human beings, but are still in the ancestral savage period of their development, at about the same stage as were those men of the stone age whose bones scientists are finding in the, caves of Europe. Those old fel lows loved to grovel in the dirt, and throw stones, and thump the other fellows on the back, just as your boy does and to almost the same extent your girl and mine do today. The race had to outgrow those delights.

and our children will, too. in time. but they have to go through that THE THE OLD HOMESTEAD Thoughts take you back to the big shade trees and the old spring with its cooling water. Keep cool and remain in town! You can do it! Wear one of our "HotWeather Comfort" Tan and Gray Summer Cloth Suits They're sensibly popular this Summer! And why not?
