Dear Eva of It gives me great pleasure to find your letters in The cofemns of the Globe. I am not a member, but have been a constant reader for many years, and rest assured that I understand and admire you. I picture you In my mind as a loving wife and mother, one competent to manage home and children by example, not by whip and switch. I have a horror for homes where children are whipped. It Is the mother that needs the whipping or training first.

I would like to be a glAnt with a switch in my hand to frighten some mother when she starts to whip her child, her own offspring. tire, dear Eva, for I know your letters are helpful and doing lots of good. May you collect courage from everything that is good, and may you continue to favor us with your sensible letters. Otheiia. Dear wish to thank you for your kind welcome and 1 Intended to write before, but 1 aa you know by this time.

1 wanted to say that your letter to Worry Cow was just right and 1 felt very much hurt when I read her letter to you. Of course, we all have our own opinions, but this le what I think about my boy. There a. mother who reads the Globe or any other paper who thinks any more of her child than 1 do of mine, but love will not conquer all the time. I went to the country when he was 4 months old.

I was In the city during the winter, and one of the neighbors called to see the new baby. The first thing she said when she saw him was that baby has laughing you think when mischief shows In a eyes at 4 months that It will take something more severe than love to conquer him when he is a little older? He was years old Dec he is as bright and as full of mischief as he can hold, and what he know about fun and frolic his grandfather puts him up to and helps him out all he can. You see, 1 know where some, if not all, of his mischief comes from. I see, or rather, read, that your baby tfe in pants. To outsiders the baby is one, but not to you, for I judge you myself, for it will take more than the clothes to change my baby.

Dear Just a been a reader of the dear old Globe a great many years, but never had courage to write before, but as so many new mothers have received a welcome lately, thought perhaps I might, and as you are mv favorite of all the Globe mothers thought perhaps you would give me a What a dear family you have. I read your letetrs about them as though they were friends of mine.

Please write more about that 12-year- old girl of yours and how you dress her. Am greatly interested In her as I have one the same age. Does she like to help you? Mine does not very well. I love all babies and like to read about them, but I wish some of the mothers with older ones would write about them. have a little boy just about the age of Teddy's, I have often thought 1 would write and tell her about him, hut never have.

Dear am so sorry your health is so poor, I have a friend who is a great deal as you seem to be, and she does have such bad days. Since this weather has come, we have had to give up our long walks and take little ones, but having to stay in the house so much, I got more sewing done. The children are out of school for two weeks now and plan rung to get lots of sewing done.

I do hope you will be better soon, and be able to enjoy some pleasant walks next summer. Hope you will write again to the Old Woman. Dear Nurse A. M.

reading your very interesting letter, cannot resist wilting to you. You have sentiments exactly, also the sisters who wrote two weeks ago. I have no use for mothers that allow the dear little ones to run the house. Poor things! I always pity them, to think there is no one to teach them their duty to mother aud to everyone as, of course, if they are not taught, how are they to know. I am one of a family of 12 and we were never allowed to rule anyone.

Mother and father used to speak and that was enough. yes, we used to get whipped, that is to say, slapped, as no whip was used, but sometimes a strap, although I never remember having it used on me. Once remember the slipper. Now I have two very dear sons, both in high school and bigger than mama and they been whipped as occasion demanded many times. Sometimes I think now, more than was necessary at the time, but they still love me dearly as everyone sees that come in contact with us.

It really amused me to read the sister's letter that thought you lost their love If you whipped them. 1 wish she could see my dear boys. If I have a lot of work to do, or am not feeling well, they will put their arms around my neck and kiss me and say, "Now, mama, promise me faithfully before I go to school that you will not work too Of course I promise, and then the last word at the door Is, "Now, mama, Then a kiss when they come home. Often when washing dishes and they wiping, again comes that arm and a kiss, and you love me, which you can be assured I return. Sometimes for fun I answer; then more kisses and more hugs, until I think my neck is most broken, and I want to get dishes done, so say, dear, I and then I am let alone for awhile.

They are always looking out for interest. Some may say that it is baby ways, as I had my sister-in-law say once, but think she was jealous because her boy did not do it to her, although she had been a devoted mother to him, never whipped him, and everything was all right that he done, picked all the best and biggest pieces at table, no matter whether company or not, arms out so he had to have room for three persons at table, which his mother always kept for him, smacked his lips so that sometimes I have felt as if I must rush from the table, and never think of anyone bub self. Another one I know that has always been brought up by love and kind words spits In peoples' faces while talking to his mother and his poor Sunday school teacher I pity from my heart. He is a terror, set fire to shed a few days ago because he wanted matches, and, of course, had to be given to him, and 1 could go on for a long time about this young gentleman brought up by love- as some call It. Had a caller the other week and she wanted her little son to come with her, but he did not want to (age 5), so he set up a yell at the door.

I went to the door to see who was being hurt, so the lady came in, but boy would not. About half an hour later he rang the bell, I let him in, but every time he wanted to say anything his mama would stop and lot him have his say, and, of course, I had to. She asked me what my views were in regard to in the south of Europe do not shape stockings as we do. Their method Is a much more economical one and if one becomes used to It a much easier one. The chief advantage lies in the fact that the heql, toe and sole of.

the foot are knit in one piece separate from the leg and united to them afterward in a soft and even over-and- over stitch. When the heel and sole or toe wear out and are past darning, the remainder of a stocking knit by the ordinary method is of little value, though it is often in sound condition. The peasant woman who knits her stocking in two pieces as we have described merely rips off the wornout sole, heel and toe, which are in one piece, and sews in another in place of the old ono. By this means the leg and main part of the stocking usually wears out two or three soles, heels and toes, which are easily knit. The illustration shows the shape of the two pieces when stockings nre knit in this way.

Expert knitters can easily shape them with little or no experimenting from the picture. Stillwater. A NEW YEAR'S 01 FT. bringing up children, as I had such nice i. wr i i I about that question, believe in whipping boys.

hether I belleVbd in whipping or love, said I have very strong ideas if deserved but I love as well as whip. It is ridiculous to think that there Is a distinction between whipping and love, just as though I do not love my boys because I whipped them when they deserved it. Come and aak them, dear sisters. Now, sisters, ao rule the children if you want them to be unselfish and good men and women and have everyone praise them both before and behind your back. Love to all.

Nervous Nellie. Dear Worry always taken an interest in you, as you name made me think of myself. Don't let that dear little son act so at the table, and don't think for a minute such things are outgrown, as have a nephew that was the same and is row 19 years old and is still the same. I tell you, dear sister, it makes them selfish and never think of anyone's feelings. Put your foot right down and mean what you say.

I remember a little incident when my boys were small. A playmate wanted them to go somewhere where I did not to have them go, and he said: Go and tease your mama to let you go, and one of them said, "My mama be teased. They did not feel badly. They knew mama knew best. Now they are 16 and years old and never want to go any place where there is bad company, and always feel bad If they know any of their schoolmates are going wrong.

I tell you it pays to make them mind when young. Cannot be too young. Of course it hurts some to have to punish our dear little ones, but it hurts God to punish us for our wrong doings. It Is our duty to the world at large to bring up our children so they Will not annoy anyone. Write to me.

Nervous Nellie. I have laughed at Master cute iittie ways on the oars. Love dearly to see children full of life like he used to be, that never annoys anyone. You have such a wise head 1 know you would never spoil a dear little child even if you had to punish him to make him mind. What a pretty dining room you have.

Write to me. Nervous Nellie, Dear Mother of letter for myself all the way from Chicago? That was indeed a pleasant surprise. I had no Idea our little writings traveled so far, I have tried to recall that Wednesday night, for I must The gradually increasing number of postcards of all descriptions is becoming so great that there is a constant demand for a holder. A pretty little holder is made of gray linen shaped except the upper ones. To the two edges are sewed two pieces of ribbon, which are brought together and bowed.

I have a very-warm spot in my heart for Chicago. One of mv dearest girlhood friends lives there. She is loyal to her old acquaintances in the east and pays them a visit occasionally.

She has tried the hardest way to get me to visit her in Chicago, but as yet I haven't been able to see my way clear. If I should go there some time and stroll around where the club is holding its meeting, would you let me in if I knocked for admittance? But shall children be whipped or shall they not be the Some mothers who whip their children evidently get excellent results, others get results that aro quite the opposite. Some children (and I have seen letters from now grown to this eol- umn), are grateful to their mothers for having whipped them, and some children (they, too, have written to this column), aro 'anything but grateful, and there you are. It Is a vexed problem, one regarding which opinion will always be more or less divided. I presume the chiefs disposition has a great deal to do with it; in fact, I know but what it has everything to do with It.

A proud, high-spirited, sensitive child will always rebel. A child with an easy-going disposition I presume would be more Indifferent. I wrote from my own experience and the observations I have been able to make. I should dislike intensely, when a child, to have been struck. I think particularly vindictive, but very much afraid I wouidn forgive in a hurry the one who had, whipped me.

When a young womari my work brought me in contact with girls between the ages of 10 and 15 vears, and, as you know, that period is the most trying one in the lives of children, for they are fish nor fowl nor good red I can truthfully say I have found the majority children to be amenable to kindness. If a girl evinced a disposition to be unruly, Instead of scolding her or punishing her for her faults, I always tried to win her by praising some little virtue she possessed. I have only one pet and that is that a drop of honey will gather more flies than a barrel of vinegar. Recently I heard a woman say: not going to whip Dorothy any more. been spanking her ever since she was a baby and I'm convinced that it doing her a panicle of good.

Her conduct a bit, and, In addition, it is making her Then she told me that Dorothy (who, by the way, is four years old an)d a little companion were playing in the back yard that morning, and Dorothy gave the little gir! a hard slap because she wouidn play ae she her to. When her mother scolded her for slapping the little girl she said, sorry I slapped Ethel. never do it again. only slap my Her mama said, You siap your kitty, either. You slap anyone because it And Dorothy said, you slap me and if wrong why do you do I have another friend who has two children, a boy and a girl 2.

The little girl is everything that could be desired, but the I can only describe him by saying he a boy in every sense of the word. He has a habit of throwing everything that nailed down out of the his purse, her keys, articles of wearing apparel, etc. I begin to tell you the number of times the little fellow has been whipped on that account. A few weeks ago his mother bought a pair of very expensive shoes for herself, and, as usual, the little boy threw them out of the window the very day she bought them. His mother miss them until the next day, and after hunting the whole house over without success, she thought they might be out in the yard.

When the woman next door asked her what she was looking for and was told pair of she said she had seen a pair lying in the yard in the morning, but as they were all wet and mud-stained (It had rained hard during the night), she thought it was an old pair that the woman had discarded, but was a little bit surprised that the woman should have thrown them in such a conspicuous place. She also said that a little while after she saw a ragman who had come into the yard pick up the shoes and put them in his bag. You can imagine how clis- pteased the little mother was. She took him across her knee and his pay" in fine style. Of course he screamed at the top of his voice while the spanking was going on, and five minutes after he was playing on a musical instrument that his father had brought home the night before.

He had forgotten all about the severe spanking. His mother said that opened her eyes, and she saw she was only wasting her time and strength. Now, when he is naughty, she undresses him and puts him to bed, and he hate It! He is an exceedingly active child, wants to run and ft end tA 14 VO tO ST ft In plav ail the to have to stay in bed' is really the worst punishment that could be inflicted upon him. His mother relish the idea of dressing and undressing him, but she says his Improvement has been so wonderful that she is going to persist. Spanking is.

of course, the least reprehensible of ail forms of corporal puh- lsbment, but I have frequently heard people say that a spanking cannot Injure a ohild. Now, that so, A delicate child can be Injured permanently from spanking administered with too heavy a hand. I am still of the opinion that a child can be punished much more effectively by denying it some on which It has set its heart (not sending it to bed without its supper, however, cruel), or if it is a very active child, one who loves to play out of doors, making it stay In the house, or, as my friend is doing, putting the child to bed. My mother used to punish me by making me stay in the house, and as I dearly loved to run and play, ft was the worst possible punishment that could have been imposed upon me. My mother knew It, too; why she used to aim at my nerable spot.

The very thought of having to stay Indoors, while with wistful eyes I looked out at my companions playing and running about, was enough to make me behave. And when I say denying the child something it loves, I mean that the mother should relent five minutes later and give the child whatever she has denied it. I have seen mothers do that, and I have always wanted to give them a little shake. That is simply a waste of time. If one of my little ones offends wilfully and I tell her that as a punishment sheshall have no dessert, it makes no difference how sad or hurt she looks, she has to do without it.

me just as much to have to refuse, tout I am always quite firm. However, as I said before. It is a difficult problem to know how best to punish children, and one that doubtless Mother Eve sat up nights trying to solve, the way her daughters of the present day are doing. Sweet Elysium. Wife and do not take your little girl from school.

If you do she is sure to become morbid and selfish and therefore unhappy. If you really believe her affliction is from i teach her that he must have some great and good work for Her to ao. Tell her that many noble lives have been lived with heavier crosses than hers to bear. Try to influence her in every way you can to forget herself and so develop her character that people will love her so much as not to notice her blemish. When you long to gather her in your arms and let her sob out her hurts remember that If you do, it will be so much harder for her to rise above It.

She can be a force in the world in spite of this trouble, and it is your duty and should be your privilege to point it out to her and so help in great plan of overruling eveil for good. If you let her hide away and brood over herself you take away the only hope life has for her. Susan Nipper. Dear N. most cordially to the column.

I sense, from your letter, that you are highly developed as a human being. You say, have wished to tell mothers the grand secret of good children. It is love and wisdom, infinite love, which forgives seventy times seven. Your thoughts plant seeds in the mind. Your fears that they will do a thing, mentally suggests to them to do it.

I do not believe in whipping, nagging or scolding. Look within impatience and fault-finding and make yourself so sweet that the children will come to you and learn." Truly the secret of good, is love, and the secret of discipline is wisdom. Combine the two and we have the ultimate. Write again. Eva of Chelsea.

Sis. Dear Mother of Three have become very much interested In you, as I have three boys also. However, unlike you, I laid away my fourth little son last August at the age of five months. Although I am kept pretty busy there is a vacancy in the home never to be filled. I sincerely sympathize with all the mothers who have lost their babies.

We have none to spare, no matter how many there aro. The ages of my other three are 5 and 3 years. 1 have taken the Globe for years (in fact, ever since I can remember, as my parents always read it). I would be lost without it. If this letter is accepted I shall certainly call again.

My little girl of four always had croup, and after doing everything I knew of this is what I used, and they had no croup all last winter.

I think I saw a letter from you, but so long ago I am not sure. I keep the mothers and their families clear In my mind. Have you any chiluren? I ought to write several letters, so each wilt be short. Quite Contrary. Dear Lawrence want to thank you for the little ray of comfort the lines you sent in gave me.

My baby has passed beyond my ken, and I am nearly heart-broken. I had my darling just four short months, and then to give him up! It seems at times as though I could not live and bear it. Perhaps he was too sweet and pure for earth. I believe that God knows best; but It Is so hard, so hard! I have four other children, and I love them; but the other little face is needed to complete the circle. My husband says loved the baby too well, and that was why he was taken; but I cannot think that God will take them from us just because we love them.

Jasmine, won't you write me a few lines? I feel that you could help me. Mrs Rodney and Drop Cakes, I want you both to know that my heart went out in sympathy to you when I read that your precious little babies were gone. I have followed everyone in the column through joy and sorrow, and feel like one of you, forgetting that I am a newcomer. Sweet Elysium, write. often.

I think it is so nice for them when they can go. Your ideas (and too) are so nearly like my own that I would almost think I had written the letters myself.

Do, not (personally) believe in any dresses except one nice one. The litlte tucked slips are plenty fancy enough for me.

Add just a couple outing flannel (blue and pink) wrappers to that outfit and you will find it K. Make all the things yourself. There is that joy in preparing the dainty little things that gives the mother that happy feeling and does so much to cheer the long dreary days, (which to some are inevitable.)

Take a good-sizod pinch of red rose petals, put in a cup and pour over it enough boiling water to fill the cup about one- third full. Let stand 30 or 40 minutes, then strain and sweeten with pure honey. Wash the mouth with it, and If he swallows a little it will not harm him in the least.

How do you manage with all your work and sewing? I have a lovely boy, most 3 years old. He has light, curly hair and very white skin, and I always wash his face with castile soap. always to Louisa. Dear was glad to see your nice long letter to me, and shall trv your advice, as I have got to do something, as I have an evening to myself. How old was your baby when you weaned him? I shall write again and lot you know how I succeed.

Do you or any other sister think that Hilen is too young to give a drink of milk to, or a cracker to chew on? She will be 10 months old Nov 21. Love to all.

Old High Rock, I have never written to this column before, but am always interested. We have the Globe seven times a week and I read every word in the column, especially the talk about babies, as I have two of my own, Kenneth, 20 months, and Ruth, 7 weeks. She is just as fat and cunning. She is lying on the sofa making her little hands fly in the air. Mama.

Dear Lady you have two children most grown up- 1 had pictured you without any. I have my picture enlarged and you know what a comfort it is. A hundred times a day you will find me standing in front of that picture, and it is not quite so lonely now'. It is so lifellko that it seems as though she was not quite so far away. I did say will be but I am at times I forgot It.

too, have a nice home, and best of hubbies. It needed only my baby. In fact, only a short time before she was taken from me I was thinking one day how happy I was and how good God was to me. I thought then it was too good to last, for it is not permitted to be so happy on this earth, and I was not wrong. But, Lady Jacqueline, I will be very anxious to hear from you, so do not keep us in suspense long.

Thank you for kind wishes, and if they come true will let you know. Heart-Broken Sinner. Dear Rangeley, you for your kind words, and you write more and tell me about your baby girl? Have you others? Or was that your first and only one, like mine was? 1, too, have that same I had done different! But the good Lord knows. I thought I was feeding her right, and of all the care 1 took so she would not have that dreaded cholera: but his will was stronger than mine, for she had it just the same. Write again to Heart-Broken Sinue.

To the sister who wanted something to cure baby had a very bad case or It when she was but a few days old, and our doctor told me to get some sumach berries and steep them. Take about a teaspoon of the berries to cup of boiling water and let them steep; then strain and wash baby's mouth several times a day with a little piece of old linen or very soft cloth, but use the same cloth twice. You can get the sumach berries at the drug store. This is my first letter, although I have been a silent reader of this department for a long time. Hoping this will help the baby, I will sign myself Honeysuckle, Dear you for your letter about dressing baby.

I have added the extra flannel petticoat and waist, and feel better satisfied now, for I reallv thought he wearing quite enough clothing, especially now that he is on his feet so much. Ho walks all around, holding on to things for support, but cannot stand alone yei. Vassar. Dear Quite Three of them. No wonder you are kept busy.

But I just envy you, those grandmas near enough to come In to help when necessary. I have nobody that I could call upon for the slightest service (excepting a former hired girl who is and lives near us.) within 100 miles. I came here just before baby was born, and have not been able to return any calls yet, so that my ac- te limited, far. Never mind, it will be different with us whert the babies are grown tip a little, won't It? Vassar, Dear -I was glad to get a. little letter from you, even if it was a mild criticism, but please imagine Vassar as a wrapxier-clad, eurl- iapered creature, who neglects: her big )oy wholly for the little one, for Indeed that is not true.

I dm a long way from any good shopping center, and know what In fashions a hit for this year, but I man age to keep dainty and frebh in my wardrobe, if it up to date, and I'm quite certain that hubby an idea but that my things arc the latest style. Indeed, he is wort for, and I love to look nice for him, so 1t is really quite a trial to give up frills and furbelows, for I clearly love "slch things." But with all my work to do, excepting washing, ironing and scrubbing, And no time for sewing, and the mother of a young baby cannot always wear what she would unless she mind having it for ahe cannot but choose ufe take baby when lie needs her. I am sure that you, too, are a lover of pretty clothes, so please do sympathize with me, but don scold me any more. Vassar, Dear Mrs a help you are to l.liis column, with your useful suggestions and valuable advioet, I wish all parents could read and pront by your recent letter hi regard to school life of children, i know something ot this question from tbo teacher's side, for my husband is a high school principal and Irequently has to discipline scholars from the lower grades, The children who come from homes of culture and: refinement are not at all difficult to deal with, because the teacher is sure of the intelligent understanding of the case, and the hearty cooperation of the parents, while, on the other hand, the child whose parents are ignornat and ill-bred nearly always upheld in his misbehavior, and punishment is iourily resented, often with threats, and nearly always with complaints to the committee. Isn't, lb true that the hardest thing in the world to deal with is ignorance? Vassar.

Dorothy was glad to road your letter on healthful diet recently, for 1. too, am a believer in careful choosing of food and drink. We have only two meals a day, and have found that to bo tho best thing for us; never a sick headache or case of indigestion since wo began this system three years ago. Wo eat a very hearty breakfast, generally fruit, liglit cereal, eggs poached or scrambled, toast, fried potatoes generally, and a cereal coffee. We have um- never later than 5 o'clock, wit.lt soup, meat, vegetables, bread and butter and sauce or fruit.

No puddings, pies or coke, and hot bread only a week, when I make parker house rolls. We could eat and digest almost anything, but vre aro perfectly healthy and wish to remain so, therefore rich and unwholesome things are excluded from our table. Vassar. COOK BOOK OF 1390.

Say the directions: a stiff bed of paste about thickness of your thumb, color it green, comb it out and it will look like a meadow of green grass. Take your swan and gild him over with gold; then have a kind of loose, flying cloak of a vermilion color within and painted with arms without; then set the swan upon this bed, cover some part of him with the cloak, stick about, him small banners upon little sticks, the banners painted with the arms most to the persons seated at the But in spite of the popularity of the swan for great occasions, it wan peacock which, in the romantic language of the age of chivalry, was food of lovers and the meat of He appeared on the festal board with his gorgeous feathered skin skewered around his roasted body.

There, at a coat of about the humble sprat is served up in 20 different ways, and only freemen of the ancient city and the local magnates are allowed to join the feast. Sprats in aspic-jeliy opened the feast, followed by sprat soup, thick and clear, sprats grilled and deviled, sprats fried with jvhlte wine sauce, sprats kippored, SDrats soused, sprats a la clever arrangements of filleted wound round the body of each sprat. Thei-e were a dozen other sprat courses, all totally different, winding up with a savory of served on little mounds of bacon.

That town claims to be the finest in Britain to grow the populan vegetable, though many others the claim.

There are 72 beef dishes, from every kind of ox that walks the earth, and the feast costs $1000. Not only beef, beef soup, beef and scores of other beef dishes appear one by one--taking over two East Indian buffalo tongue, yak flesh preserved, from the Tibetan mountains, and the dried trek-ox flesh of South Africa, served.
