MOTHER complained to mo recently that her zon, aged nine, had no spirit and no confidence. Jenn, his sister, aged 24, will attempt things that John turns from in horror," she added. Apparently John Hired in constant terror of some accident and could not be coaxed to attempt anything on his own initiative.

I explained that Jean knew no fear because she had not you learnt what fear meant, whereas John had had more experience.

The mother ngreed that, when he was much younger, she was always warning him about running into danger. Like, many over-careful parents, she had broken her child's nerve and sense of independence by too much warning, instead of teaching him to take suitable pre-

cautions

Our nim sizould be to train our chil- dren to be independent; fact, we should take up the atitude of the mother bird who struggles to teach her fedgelings to fly on their own, knowing that by the end of the summer thes will have to have leamed to fend for themselves.

Upsetting Thunder

My boy, aged Ave, gets very nervy, long before a thunderstorm. Some- tinies this lcade to a violent bilious, allack, but more often he is irritable and excited.

THERE is nothing exotic about the new fashions, yet new day clothes have certala 'dis- tinguishing finishing touches,

For instance, subdued golour- ed wools for the new suits are noticeably fussy in their trim- mings. Attractive duits, whose bodices are trimmed with strips of sable, or strips of seal, are the kind of dressy fashions worn with velvet toques.

New tweeds which are on the other hand, rather startlingly brilliant are comparatively quiet in cut. They are simple, aimbst severe in line. Ă new dress made of rough-surfaced mahogany wool looks pretty with a yellow jacket and yellow felt hat.

Other People's Knitting

TE you are an unsuccessful knitter. despite many efforts, combined with a fondness for bright, soft wools, then you will be deishiled to find you can get very charming ready-made styles both mid-made and machine-worked.

A plaid stitch in a plain colour is seen in a pretty sports shirt şiyle.

Into other simple designs diagonal patterns are worked and the expert joins many pieces so in the pat- tern charming but complicated.

So cleverly are the pieces joined that you cannot find the seams unicas-you- look very closely into the back of the work.

A new broad-ribbed jumper hos high revers, deep waist-welt, and on patch pockets showing the ribbing frunning diagonally, a button is cro- 'cheted in the centre of each pocket.
