If a mother wishes her child to become really, adult in mind and character as well as body, she will start to prepare him for it when he is very young.
I do not know the figures but I am willing to wager that 80 or 90
| per cent of us are not adult at all.
If we were we would be happy, no matter what came along. As it is, in our country particularly, we act like children when misfor- tune overtakes us. We have never learned either resourcefulness acceptance.
or
Instead we have fastened our minds on "wishes" and if they don't come true we are miserable. If they do come true, we don't ap- preclate them, and instantly trans- fer our wishes toward something else. Like spoiled children never do achieve contentment. Like spoiled children we grow bit. ter when they don't.
Poor Children Grow Strong-
WE
It is true that the children of the poor, in spite of under-privi- lege and handicaps of every sort, usually arrive at maturity with Kreater self-dependence and forcu of character than those who aro: overly protected. Perhaps this lack of attention and comfort may bring them to manhood or wom- anhood with other unfavourable traits-that depends on the home --but that they are more 'mature as a class cannot be disputed.
What then are the things that a mother may avoid if she wants her son, or daughter, to develop into a forceful and reliant person later on?
She will begin quite early not to, wait on him hand and foot. Chil- dren must learn to do things for themselves without grumbling. If they have to put up with a certain amount of discomfort let them. This does not mean neglect, but it does mean to encourage the state! of mind that does not whine or grow resentful when attention denied.
is
Pity Spolls the Child She will set certain duties and responsibilities for them, daily tasks that train them to accept work as a matter of course. think bought toys contribute to laziness. They are grand and nec essary things but in the old days when the boy who wanted a wagon or a sled had to make it or do without, the character lesson la ob- vious,
She will not encourage any child ever to feel sorry for himself, even though there is every reason why he should. The child who standa disappointment well, and who takes trouble like a sport, will not be weeping on the world's shoul der when he grows up.
She will be kind, encouraging, happy and understanding, but she will not become either a door-mat or a pillow, She will put a-staff. in his hand, the staff of courage, and show him the way. She won't go ahead to part the brambles. She will walk beside him und they! can go the rough path together.
It is a stiff upper lip and back- bone that make the adult. Cod- dling docs the opposite. It in the overly-sheltered child who becomes helpless and complaining when mature.

If you are caught where you have to give bridal presents
. how about some lingerie?
No bride has the money these days to buy.all the luxurious- undies she craves. And you can't give any woman a more acceptable gift than hand-made French underwear.
The best thing about fine lingerie is the handsome way it Ata. Slips are shaped just right and the straps are placed to stay put on your shoulders, Gowns come out in princess lines, with fullness through the skirts. And the little panties are tailored to lie flat about the hips."
The best lingerie has both exquisite lace and fine hand- embroidery. When the embroidery is done in the exact design of the lace, then you know that it's super-fine,
A salmon coloured fine crepe nightie has Alencon lace making a deep V yoke and shoulder arm boles. Then em- broidery enriches the gown, done in the floral design of the lace. There is a little sash that ties on one side and the gown just misses the floor.
There is a little inatching matince (fancy for bed jacket) which has the lace applied to make a tiny standup back collar and revers, and all around the sleeves and outer edges, too,
A handsome white slip is very heavily trimmed in lace that makes practically all the part that shows under organdy or other sheer blouses. It is a beautifully fitting garment, with the lace running trickily around it like a botero. A second slip has less, Ince adorning it, but the lace and embroidery matches the delicate green of the slip, a new colour for summer under-
wear.
Panties to match the white slip button up the back, fitting perfectly around the bottom and hips. There in Alencon lact and fine embroidery around the bottom of them, and in Paris manner, the bride, getting them has her initials done in fine handwork on the left side, just above the lace.
