Don't Use Endearing Names When You're Cross or Angry

And in the course of a day this,true meaning may come from an ugly, angry heari even more often Ihon from a tender, lovely heart.

Then what may happen to the quality of endearment in the name? Auy name once associated only with affection can thus lose all its former loveliness. Don't you believe" we should reserve all endearing names for moments when they will be used and understood us such?

Similar Psychology

There is a similar psychology re- vealed In whatever $50 many mothers write and say about their unsuccessful efforts at dealing with some problems of the child's be-

haviour, expressed in such ways as these: "I've tried reasoning, ex- plaining, approving. rewarding, bribing, conxing, cajoling, shaming. ridiculing, spanking, threatening, sending to bed, sitting in chair- nearly everything I have ever heard about, but all in vain."

As you can see, Gome of these ways appeal through pleasure, some through pain: some through ビー wards, some through punishments. But as several of them were em- ployed about the same problem, sometimes one right after the other in relation to the selfshme incident, they all tended to take on the na- ture of pain.

Kharf and Hanid, and Teddy, the Stuffed Bear, and Mary-June the rag-doll, ali asked General Tin what he meant,

"Well," sald General Tin, resting his musket on the floor .so it wouldn't be so heavy, "I once had a friend who grew on an apple tree." "A friend who grow on an apple tree!" Hanld exclaimed in astonish- ment..
