Q. Should the parents of a child reprimand him if he misbehaves at. the table when guests are present?

A. No; either the father 0i‘ mother should quietly take the child away. He should not be scold- ed or punished in the presence of guests. but neither should the mis- behavior be ignored.

Q. It. it all right to use the type- writer for writing a note to a. hosi- ess. than-king hei- for a week-end?

l a Tale or The Selkirk ' Settlers

(By I‘. W. MacArthur)

“Though your sire was my mor- tal enemy, laddie. I'm no holding any srudze '8ainst ye, ‘Twero no fault 0' yours, Hector MacDonald; no fault at. all."

The speaker was Old Niel, a Shepherd who had seen many years in the service of Ayr's wealthiest sheep rancher "and

was a person of some importance in his own community.

Just what had caused the feud between Old Niel and Peter Mau- Donald, i-Iectoi"s mother could not say. All she knew was that the shepherd's coolness toward her vanished with the death of her husband. She knew, too, that her only child, Hector, simply idol- ized the old man of the hills and

that these two got together at every opportunity. Perhaps the faithful shepherd

dogs, Buff and Rex. and the sight of the lambs playing on the hills. had something to do with the youth's desire to be with Old Nicl.‘ As for the shepherd, him- self, he showed or pretended to show great affection for the son of the man hc had despised in life iind maybe hated in death. Thus it came about that once every fortnight Old 'Niel would arrive at the widow's cottage to escort young Hector to his abode for the week-end.

Some two years after the death of Hectofs father, the boy's moth- er died and he went to live with his bachelor uncle. As time pass- ed the shepherd's love for the orphan appeared to grow apace, and between them existed a deep friendship such f1! seldom is seen between age and youth.

Young Hector liked to ape his old friend by stretching himself full length upon the ground while together they would watch the young lamps cutting up capers like a group of naughty children. Sometimes the lambs actually ran races; at other times they plagued

their mothers by climbing onto their backs and then tumhliiii: over their heads in sheer dcli"lit,

Again they would face each other in mock battle while the wise old ewes bloated their approval or chewed their cuds in silence. One day, while the youth was occupied thus, the old shepherd came and sat down beside him. Then. taking a ring from his fin- gerflhe passed it to the lad, say- mg:

“My gift to ye, laddie. See that ye care for it, and when ye are old enough to wear it ‘twill bring ye a‘ the luck in the world. That ring, laddie, once belonged to Scotland's greatest wizard—Micli- aol was the name-and he had magic that nane since have ever

A. These ornaments should not be washed. Dust carefully, and fol- low by wiping with a. cloth moisten- ed in pamffin oil. Polish with a chamols.

Mr. tennis Chapman. a sociolog- ist at. Liverpool University, has sought to repair this omission in a paper recently published in the Architects’ Journal. ~

llis "field SLil‘\’ " into the behav- iour of typical working and middle class families who are neither rich nor very poor confirms the novel- istis iiiiprcssloiz- that the popular al- titude to furnishing the licme is primarily emotional.

Young coup- les setting up llflne tend to de- vote a third or a half of their out- lay i0 the bedroom, a good deal less io the dining or living room. and \'Cl'y little to the kitchen. The nursery and the parlour are fur- nushcd later.

The parlour. however, plays an important part in the family's sub- sequent life - as a repository fo:

MORE ABOUT HOME CARE 0F PATIENTS UNDER HOSPITAL SUPERVISION

Some months ago I wrote about the results obtained by home care of old or chronic cases under the supervision of the stag of Monie- fiore Hospital. New York, as re- ported in “Survey" by Dr. E. M. Biuestone. Director of the Hospital.

“There are some patients who must remain in the hospital be- cause of the nature of their ill- ness and their physical condition. On the other hand there are other patients who, after thorough ex- amination of a few days or a week. during which time the exact cause of the ailment is learned, could do quite as well at home. Instead of occupying a bed in s. hospital ward. he would, in a great. majority o! cases. be much happier and get well sooner under the care of loved ones and a visiting hospital physician."

The results were excellent in lo far as the piitlents‘ recovery was concerned, and home care costs just one-fourth iiie cost of maintaining the same patient in hospital. This was during 1947.

Now hc-me care under the super- vision of Bellevue Hospital, New York, during i948 is reported in the "Journal of the American Medical Association" by Drs. David
