by the fashions of the day.
Just now it is the fashion for women to be highly proficient at business or sport during the day time and alluringly feminine from. sunset to dawo,
A hundred years ago men drank themselves under the table every evening because it was the fashion.
In these days, however, fashion dic- tates that men should be sober, level-headed business men during the day, and "tired business men" when they leave their offices, and
so they are.
Children are very different crea- tures. They remain exactly the same from one generation to the next, no matter how modes and inaaners may change.
Children of to-day have the same characters as the children of a hun- dred or two hundred years' ago. They grow up differently simply because the fashions of bringing up young people have altered since those days.
:
Disinterested Cruelty. The modern child is just as sol- fish and callous as any other child. It has to be taught how to be un- selfish and considerate to other prople. In fact, the modern child is not original in any way; it only shows affection for the person who takes care of it.
For instance, the children who are brought ap by their mothers show affection for them, while those who have "annnies" love their "nannies" but have very little use for their mothers,

No Imagination." As a matter of fact, very young children have no imagination. They are not brave in the least degree.
they do not visualise the danger They are merely foolhardy because
they are running. But once & child has been hurt, it takes care hat to get hurt in the same way again. There is, I believe, a pro- verb to the effect that a bart child dreads the fire.
The trouble with the modern mo ther is that she will not face facts about her own children. She tries to fool herself into thinking that they have all sorts of charming characteristics which in point of fact no child possesses naturally, und can only be acquired as a re- sult of careful training.
Disinterested cruelty is a trait found almost exclusively in small boys, and it is only cured when they go to school and slightly lar gen boys treat them with the same disinterested cruelty that they themselves showed to insects and animals. It is, in other words, knocked out of them.
The average small boy's character is such that it can only be dealt with adequately by other small boys.
The only virtue that children pos- Beas naturally is that of truthful ness, and even that can be carried to a point bordering on callous- ness I can remember (as a small child) my mother coming into the room and announcing that she had in children is a most unplea-been nearly run over in the street, zant one known technically as What would you have done," she "disinterested, cruelty."

It is only in recent years that we have begun to realise that the play of the little child is the most serious part of its life, and that the harmonious development of
body and mind depends to a large extent on the play of the, earlier years.

all animals play; the lower types of the child can be gathered by studying the play of animals. Not have to fend for themselves from birth.
The higher animals, such as the lion and the familiar cat, pass through a period of youth and are during this time the instincts which looked after by their parents, and
are known as the self preserving and the race preserving instincts, and which are shared by man, make their appearance.
They are not, however, ready for use, but are trained by play, each species having its own special type of play suited for its needs.
Thus the kitten's wild lead after a moving object, whether, a reel or a comrade's tail, is just what is needed to train for the mouse hunt of the mature cat, while the "king of the castle" game of the lamb in spring is just what is needed to develop surefootedness,
When we apply these facts of animal play to help us with the study of the play of children we find a very interesting parallel be- tween the two. The same instincts of curiosity, imitation, experi- mentation which are found in the kitten or the puppy mark the play of the baby, and obviously are trained in the same way, and, what is most important to realise, it is only by means of his play that the child can get this training and develop properly.
It is only by feeling and test- ing and, trying that the nervous system can develop and the physi- cal and mental powers be trained, and for each sense organ and nerve centre there must be this training. The experimental play of all

IS YOUR HUSBAND SYMPATHETIC?
Fractically every day of the week you can pick up a paper reporting a will, or a speech, containing a glowing eulogy by a husband. Why is it that you never see similar sea- timents expressed by wives 1
There must be some reason for this apparent lack of appreciation. I it because husbands don't de serve it Can it be that men fail in the very qualities they so will- ingly commend in their wives!
The cynic will say that the mar riage experiences of most women are such that any public reference to them, if true, would be unprint, able; but I don't believe this is so in dineteen cases out of twenty.
Women, as a whole, are natur- ally more introspective than men- with them the inner side of marri- age is usually the most important, and few are bonest with themselves when they pretend to the outside world that this is not so.
To. most wives happy marriage hinges upon a husband's ability to realise this fact, and the founda- tion of nearly all true companion- ship for them is built on this im- measurable gift of second sight.
Such intimacies as these are not for public consumption, and would be, in any case, difficult to describe. Bo perhaps this is why even wives make no mention of it in their wilis.
But let us be cynical for a mo mient.
.
Perhaps husbands don't really mean, all the fatuous things they say. when they write their wills. Maybe their tributes are insincere- just an artful means of getting a bit of posthumous credit from the general public...
Whatever truth thire may be in ferently about these things, and this, women undoubtedly feel dif most of them still shrink from pub- lic avowals of an emotional kind.
