Yesterday, mother small one came to the can of the farmers at Alderiea - one whose cominl had bun expected but whose arrival had caught the family unaware... Back in the meadow which slopes from the streamside to woodlands, pasturlrig at present the idle horses, some cattle and the sheep: a filly- foal was born to the Nell-mare. And who was it of us all that first spied it there? Was it one of the farmers whose EYE-5 NW9 N911 trained to search those acres often, since the pasturing began? Oh no. because the birth occurred while they were at dinner. It was the mailman then completing his round. so familiar is he with the scenes along his route that he can quickly spot any change frcm the ordinary.

"You've a new horse in the pas- mro, Ellen,” he reported. "and the wind is cool." What a hurrying there was then! And how grand- daughters eyes shone - and her father's! And the family including the wee lad was off in the truck to welcome the new-comer and to fetch the two home to the stable. Winsome it is and likeable in its very smallness -- and innocence. White-starred and stockinged and of a color that allows for some con- jecturlng at the moment. "Gran'- d-addy says it will be a chestnut shade like it's mother!" grand- daughter came in later to tell us "and gran'damy knows!"

The hauling-in of the hay com- menced today, from the far fields there. to a barn at the other farm. And because of the insistence of that work, this evening as the day wore away into a soft twilight and with many a desperate tug - and rueful laugh, the fsrmwives became better acquainted with the inci- dentals to the milking. Jeanie has small pound-age to lead or turn aside a bounding hungry calf and we admit we have come to an age when we are well content to take only a passive interest in these brisker affairs of our farming. "I'm not too sure that this is the calf that belongs to this cow," Jeanie parited. But. "certainly, it is!" we assured her urging its steps, with

an airy show of confidence we did ,

not feel. We own to a baffling the appearance of those small fry, so much that soon we found it difficult, as the chore progressed. to distinguish between the fed and unfed-.

too

, When we stopped to weigh mat- ters we became only deeper per- plexed. "Well. does that one appear to be full?" we titteredi to Jeanie, "then it follows, it must be one that has nursed already." The pail-fed presented less difficulty. "We've only these two to do -those others have I: ring of milk about their nosesi” If as James declares. "I could lose Ellen in our own back-fields - she'd never find her way home!" It was more disturbing, we find, to be cast away in a pen of calves of like color. Jeanie, most conscientious always in the discharge of any duty and inclined to take life seriously

"HOW COULD I have been so coroloul From now on It's Lifebuoy ”

Iriio Sllctloit” story ' By I. ll. Incas-Ion

Robert Raikoa is entitled to the honor of inaugurating the Sunday- schcol era. He was born in Glouces- ter. England. September 14, 1786. and succeeded his father as pro-

1

. prietor of the Gloucester Journal.

Having had occasion to visit the poorer sections of the city he be- came acquainted with the terrible conditions of children.

It was those visits that gave him the idea of a Sunday School where the poor children might be taught. I'.n1'lW. hohired four women to teach boys and girls between the ages of six and fourteen years, on Sunday afternoon, paying them a shilling a day. In less than three weeks the class had grown from a more down to three hundred chil- dren. Strange as it mayseem. the movement had little support from the press and in 1783 Raikes put an account of his work in his own paper, The Gentleman's Magazine.

I O O

This gave the upper class a first- hand plcture of what was being done. The Queen of England now granted the founder of Sunday Schools an interview. Scon after this the movement spread like a prairie fire and The Raikes Semi- Centenniel was celebrated sep- tember 4, 1891, the poet Montgom- ery writing two hymns for the oc- casion. The Centenary celebra- tion was observed in London in 1880 and delegates from every chris- tian land took part.

There were two features of the Raikes system which may seem strange in our generation. (1) The children were given secular instruc- tion; (2) The teachers were paid for their services.

Before the public-school system came into being the poor children had no place to learn reading, writing and arithmetic.

In America the presidents of the U. S. A., cabinet officers, governors, Judges and other high dignitaries felt honored to bear the name of Sunday School teachers. The pay of teachers was about two shillings a Sunday. The Sunday School Soc- iety expended about 4.33!) pounds in the following twenty-four years. But in 1811 payment for teachers ceased.

Dentists everywhere In study- ing the effects of sugar and sweets on the teeth, as it has been defin- itely shown that sugar left on and between the teeth is perhaps the commonest cause of their decay. The fact that the immediate rins- lng and brushing of the teeth after eating sugar or starch foods wul prevent decay of teeth is also known. It is for this reason, some months ago. I suggested that if parents rould make sure that their youngsters rinsed out the mouth and brushed the teeth after eating sugar or candy they would not have to forbid its use.

The growing active youngster needs plenty of sugar or other starch fcods, not so much to hdlp in his growth. but because sugar xives energy to play. Playing stim- ulates phyaical and mental develop-

at the chest, giving space for growth of ' lungs; the heart is strengthened because the huge masses of muscles in thighs de- mand a great amount of blcod aenoi down to them. In play practically all the muscles on the outside of the body are in use and so the heart and ' blood vessels are strengthened.

The thought. then. is that while it is true that starch foods left on the teeth cause decay because of the action of acid juices present in the mouth, nevertheless, as starch foods zive energy for play, it would be wise for parents to allow or en.

Wife Takes Breather

Husband Should Not Rosonf Mai'o's Brief Vacafio

It

DEAR M'I& DIX: .1 am 1 years old. Married and have we children, 3 and 4. I lost my job and had to send my wife and chil. dren home to her people. Since she has gone back home Iier friend: are taking her out. I don't go anywhere because I love her an: the babies too much, but when I ask her to give up her good times and stay at home with the babies she" laughed at me and told me to ' leave her alone; that she had been tied down for six years and that while life had the chance she was go- ing to enjoy herself. She said that when I got a job we would go back together again. Please advise me what to do. i J. V. X.

ANSWER: Do nothing. Let her have her llttlo , ' fling, which seems to be innocent enough. She is but home among the old friends of her girlhood and they are giving her I few parties. That is all the situation is when you look at it will clear eyes instead of through jealous ones.

HASEADEABDTIMI

In a way your wife's conduct is just a reaction from the strain of the last few hard yea.ra.. Think of what she has been through, hear ing two children only a year apart. Pretty hard on any woman. Ter rlbly hard when that woman is only a girl herself. with all of youth'i craving for pleasure. Now she is back home and mother is taking can of the babies to give her a rest. She can get a good night”: sleep She can slip some of her responsibilities. Her old friends are rally ing about her and giving her good times, and it seems so wonder ful to her to laugh and dance and forget for a little while the ghadnu that hangs over her that it is not strange that she tells you to let her alone when you try to stop her pleasure.

This doesn't mean that. she doesn't love you, or won't be glad N go back to you when you are able to support her. She will come bacl to you all the more eagerly and with all the more affection for you ll you are big enough and generous enough to see the situation as it ll and to trust her and make her feel that you are glad for any happi- ness that comes to her. Furthermore. she will come back to you re. freshed in body and spirit, as she would not be if she spent all of hei time pining for you and brooding over her misfortunes.

DEAR MISS DIX: A lot of us girls have been arguing about tht world sophistication. Will you please tell us Just what it means? JERRY

ANSWER: A.dictlonary definition of sophistication is "arguing cleverly but fallaciously about things." In other words, making a thing seem true or right that isn't true or right.

But the modern definition of the word. as you hear it used, ll knowing all the answers. We apply it to a person who is worldly wise, who has been about and seen a lot and heard about all there is to tell. The sophisticated individual is one who is at home in any situation: and who knows just what to do under any clrcumltuices; who always days the right thing at the right time and in the right place; who always has on just the proper clothes for the occasion: who has poise and tact: who is always at ease himself or herself and makes every one else feel ,nt ease.
