With the average child It is only a question of time before there is revolt against this sort of regime.

Meanwhile untold harm is done in tho relation of parent and child to each other. The confidence and cooperation which might have been established have been lost through a method which assumes that the child can only be made to do right because he ia afraid to do otherwise.

It was the cry of a child too wretchedly uncomfortable to go to sleep. Suddenly I was electrified by a woman's voice screaming shrilly, "You stop that or I'll come in and kill you!" The effect was instantaneous. There waa not even a subsiding whimper, just silence, A shocking incident, but, I reflected, different only in degree from what happens in thousands of homes where mothers are far leas tired and harassed than this one must have been. Everywhere still one hears children brought to time with the threat of a whipping, of exile in a dark cellar or of a policeman who will take them to jail. One three year old learned to trot along docilely by mother's side after she threatened to leave him in the street unless he did.

Threats are so often immediately effective, they require so little thought or self discipline, that it is no wonder that parents continue to use them even when they know better. Yet there is no doubt that the obe By ADELE GARRISON. aat "We wont asy a word." they murmured together. "But youU come back and tell ns, on way or th other, wont you, MumsT Junior added.

A a result of my friendship she got in the right crowd, etc. Now she is a great deal more popular than am and often has dates when I have none it all.

Don't you think it is up to her to get me included in invitations somehow? 1 think she has shown herself selfish and ungrateful. How can I get even with her? MAUD. What's the use of getting even with her? And what's the use of her making an effort to have you included in invitations which don't come natural ly? You haven't anything to gain from your present attitude. It was kind of you to introduce the newcomer to your friends but presumably you did this out of kindness of your heart, and not because you hoped that she would prove a valuable aid to you some day. As it happens she's turned out to be a greater success than yourself, but if you have any common sense, you won't attempt to make her popularity yours.

Don't imagine, that but for your help, the little newcomer would now be a lonely wall flower and you, a bright shining light If she's the stuff that popular girls are mad of, then she was bound to find friends and admirers. And if for one reason or another, you lack the qualities which make for social success, then the presence of the other girl could not materially affect your popularity one way or the other. Be a good sport about mis. It's much mora becoming to yoa or to any other girl to laugh off a situation ef this sort than to watch your rival with jealous, reproachful eyes.

There is no reason why your hero shouldn't return to his own homo town. After all he can't be expected to take up residence in a new city just because your beautiful blue eyes have proved too fascinating for him. You'd think him a little odd and irrational, wouldn't you, if he calmly gave up his life as it was, and insisted on remaining near you at what ever cost to his job.

Just figure this out more sensibly and you'll see how foolish your attitude is. Certainly write to him if you like him. There's no reason to assume that he's madly in love with you because he's asked you to write but a great many romances have grown out of friendly correspondence so you need not despair. Try to have more sense of humor about him and the whole situation, and you won't have room in your nun a lor so many grave doubts and fears. JEAN: Marry th old sweetheart, if you find you really love hira.

Never mind the gossips and the laughter of the town. You can't afford to throw away your life's happiness to suit a handful of people who consider the old sweetheart rather a comedown, in life. You wouldn't have been happy with the other man, however much prestige he might hsv brought you. You can't live happily on prestige and nothing else. Take your happiness where you find it snd be grateful for it.
