James and 1 found it hard to believe that his reign has been eleven years in all, even when we considered the slow passing c! the war years. "Why it seems no time at all" James said “since we heard of King Edward's abdwa- tion, though there have been many changes since then, when a person stops to think of them. We were threshing that day. Do you remini- ber, Eillen? Strange that we were so late with our threshing that year.

Evaluating Children Parents Sea Youngsters’ Talents As They Would Llka Thain _ One of the most pathetic things in life is that so few parents seem able to put the correct valuation on their children's talents and abil- ities. Especially dcrmothers see their youngsters as they would like them to be. not as they are. For Mother never hatches out an ugly duckling. All of her brood are white swans. PéOVlCIBIlCP, for doubtless this hallucination has sav- e the life of many a squalllng infant that looked more like a cross between a cream cheese and a boiled lobster than it did like a world-beater. It was only that our mothers saw us glorified, not as we were. that made them think that we were worth the trouble and worry of rearing.
