WHERE'S MOTHER?

OD can't be always everywhere, and so in- vented Mothers." Thus

gald Bir Edwin Arnold,

and most of us are fortunate enough to have known at some time that "Homo Is Whore Mother la." It's a grand cry, that shout of "Where's Mother?" There 1 something Important to be told,

that she must share at once;

who will not fall.

one who will know Just what to do

in any emer-

gency. But, alas, it is n cry that carries a warning if it is heard too often, for we must not keep the children in leading-strings over long if they are to be taught the all-important lesson of independ-

chce.

Therefore the wise mother will take up the altitude of "I'm here close at hand, but only here to help you to help yourself." Often it requires a great deal of courage and self-restraint to take such a stand, but the children will thank us for doing au inter on.

I receive many testere on the sub- ject, and I am putting the of the queries and replies before you to-day." 'na the problem is, I am sure, full of interest to all parents.

My baby girl has recently begun to scream whenever I leave her alone for a few minutes, and it is dificult to quieten her.-Heartbroken.

HOW

Give way in this matter; let her become accustomed to others and let, her father take her out sometimes when you are busy, as he suggests,

Even if there are tears at first do not heed them; just disappear for the time being and baby will soon settle down to her new friends.

Son's Confidant

My son of teen used to tell me everything, but now he is very silent and goes about with Inda of whom I am not sure that 1 approve.—File.

YOUR son has reached an age when male companionship is a necessity to him, and he would be quite abnormal If he avoided the Irlendship of lads of his own age.

Prombly ie fact that you do not approve of his going off in this way has made him feel nwkward over the whole altuation, and that would naturally tend to dry up any easy relationship between you.

If you follow my advice you will make the meetings casler for him, cutting sandwiches perhaps and providing cer- tain funds for cheap train fares for himself and a couple of friends so that

Self-Help

My six-year-old daughter makes 110 efort to dress herself, but depends upon me all the time—June Badį.

GATHER that the fault lies in the fact that you havo always been ready to feed and dress her,

You have not been acting in her interest. however. Give up the time between tea mid bed-time now to teaching her to dress herself and offer a small prize once she is able to do 30.

Have simple clothes for her with the front of petticoats, knickers and frocks. marked with a cross in red cotton zo that she can distinguish it readily, and let all fastenings be as uncompli caled na possible.

She should learn the order in which

the garments come on one of the first evenings. Hare patience with her if Her Angers are “all thumbs at arst. but be resolute about refusing to dress her any longer,

already making himself, miserable at the prospect, I fear that you have perhaps stressed the parting in recent conversations. You will have to be firmer now if he is to go away, other wise he will really suffer, for the first fow weeks at all events. Refuse to notice tears, but quietly describe the Interest attached to the new life.

up the wine stand of being "daughter in her mother's house but mistress in her own." and no one can blame her in this attitude, for it is dic- tated by common sense.

If you have trained her well in housecraft she will be putting it all to good use now, but at the same time It is for her to study the particular tastes of her husband and the circum- stances of her own home life.

By insisting that your way is the only right way you will be losing ground with these young people, so I advise you to be more forbearing in your attitude and less given to critic- Is from now on,

Food for Toddler

I have been told that brains are good for toddlers in place of meat. How are they cooked?

BUY a set of sheep's brains from

your butcher, price 4d, to Gd. Pour boiling water over them, then peel off the outer skin and any other waste. Bimmer in a little slightly salted milk until cooked (no redness about them). Strain, beat up with a fork and serve with a little mashed potato or with toast. For slightly older toddlers brains fried in. butler make a tasty breakfast dish. Cooked Recording to

elther method they make excellent fare,

It's American

THE excellent idea of serving hot

tonated sandwiches at a snack meal came from America. Try one with a fish filling.

Flake some cooked dried haddock. add a little melted butter or mar. garine, pepper, then stir in a teaspoon- ful of chopped parsley with a little lemon fulce.
