Don't Be an Ostrich.
What would the home folk say if
they knew some of the things you
do in the city where you now live?
ou think the place is so large that
you will not be found out.
lhat sounds pretty harsh, but it is
the truth,, else you would not dare
to take the chances in your behavior
which characterize your present life.
Do you not feel ashamed and re
pentant at times? -
But do you think far enough ahead
to realize that the habits you are
forming will cling to you throughout
your life?
Jt would take a mighty effort for
you to break yourself now lrom
things you nave learned a'nd are do-,
ing in the city.
You think you can stop any time,
but habit is stronger than you think.
You think you are free from watch
ful eyes and gossiping tongues. '
Many a better person than you are
has been I ruined by talcs which,
though untrne, are circulated about
them. . - , - ,
Don't be an ostrich. "
The world is far smaller than you
imagine.

Parents' Problems
What can be done to help a child
who now tells falsehoods to be truth
ful? I should try to show a fibbing
child how everything good is based
upon truth and trust. I should show
why we love truth and hate the op
posite. I should interest him in the
idea of ancient knighthood, and ex
plain what word of honor meant
to the heroes of the Round Table,
who would rather have died than break
their word to one another. Then I
should put the child upon his word of
honor to be a true knight. And if
he broke his word I should show
him he had lost his honor among
truthful children, and shame him by
refusing to trust him for a little
while even in little things. . should
hope he would, become ashamed and
desirons once .more to earn the name
of my "true knight "'

starting to park a suit case with his
cveninff clothes.
" What do you mean, dearest?"
Jler pretty eyes were big with
wonder.
"We are goinsr to hear some grand
uproar, darling. I'm taking my soup-and-fish
costume into town with me
and will change at the office. Then
you can meet me at the train which
reaches the city about six. We'll
have dinner at some hotel, and finish
in; time to hear Mr. Wagner's jazz
band playing at the Metropolitan."
"Why, .Jack. . . You. never told
mc a word about it before I"
"I wanted to surprise you, dear.
Isn't it splendid? We haven't been
tolrear any classical music for cen
turies and it will perk us up a bit.
I'm tired of low-brow stuff, anyway.!'
Jill tried to look pleased.
"Well. I( guess it's all right,' but,
for week's 'I've wanted to .ec.. three
different musical comedies,'!.' .and
now grand opera instead."
Jack stiffened. , .
"Very well, then I ran c,hangc the
tickets," he began. "
"You'll do nothing oftthc sort,
dearest," and Jill put her so;t hand
on his cheek, to pat it lovingly.
"You're a thoughtful dear", and I'll
be right on time at the train gate."
And so they finally landed in their
scats in time to hear the opening
overture.
Jack felt stiff and uncomfortable.'
