THERE Is A certain fearsome dignity about a thunderstorm thtvt awes the heart childhood at its bravest. To some children it brinps a wild terror: that resolves itself into hysterics, shivering fits, collapse. What is to be done about it? Every summer has its thunder and lightning, black clouds that are pierced through with swift lightning, and sudden winds that whistle and shout and roar and make havoc among the there arc many useful and absorbing tusks that may be done.

Do not pull down the shades and darken the house. That sets the stage for screams of fear at every thunder clap. Allow nobody to hide his head under a pillow, or go down cellar to hide in a dark closet or go to bed in sheer terror. Hold the children in a group with som good story, some good songs, som pleasant occupation.

It is not wise to keep saying, "Now don't be afraid. It won't hurt you." If you say anything about the storm make it a positiv statement about the beauty and the service of it and ignore the fear, some side. Hold your own thoughts bravely to the task in hand and the children will follow you. If yon happen to have a child. who grows pale at the first sign of a thunder shower be very gen tie.

Keen the child close to you and let iihn feel jour counitte hills and gardens. Nature in action An heroic and childhood is very timid in its presence. The first thing to do is to preserve your own poise. Behave as though thunder storms were nothing unusual. Point out the beauty of the great piles of purple cloud.

Remind the children how much goooVthe rain and the wind does. How refreshing the air will be when the storm passes. Courage begets courage. Prepare for the storm when you see it rising. Have the children help you close the windows and fasten loose shutters and doors.

Take in any furniture that is likely to be spoiled. Rescue the tiny chickens and make all safe within and without the house. Seat yourself comfortably at a distance from the windows and make sure you are not sitting in a draft. Then find some occupation for the children. Singing la a good way to change the thought from fear to security.

A good jolly song will bring happiness to most children. A quiet gii me like checkers or authors or lotto or dominos Is good.
