Heat flashes or waves of heat appear to Eass over tho body, cause tho face to o very red and often bring on head ache, dizziness and a senso of suffo cation. Another annoying symptom which comes at this time Is an Inability to recall names, dates or other small facts. Thisis liable to make a woman lose contidence in herself.

Cook Book It1 FREE 130 William St., Now York ChudTrainingatHome THE FAVORITE CHILD By FRANCES A. GRAY TT WAS the one unmarried member of our little group who quite Inno cently started tho discussion. Some thing had been said about Ilortense and her children and Grace remarked, "Isn't little Jack Uortense's favorite child?" The' Sentimental Mother was shocked. "My dear," she exclaimed re proachfully, "no mother worthy of the unnio loves one child more than an other! It's Impossible for a mother to have a favorite among her chil dren." Hut the Practical Mother, ns usunl, brushed nslde mere superficialities. "Nonsense I" she retorted. "It is Impos sible that any woman who hns more than one or two children should not have a favorite, even If she never ad mits the fact to herself. Within one family the children will often differ very widely in natural disposition, temperament In every possible trait. If a mother has several children It Is almost certain that there will he one among them who Is naturally more congenial to her than the others." She paused, nnd then added with her surprising frankness, for she is one who openly admits whnt other people are apt to conceal and deny even to themselves, "Now my little girl is too much like me for uij to get nlong harmoniously. She Is quick nnd high strung too, and, frankly, she often gets on my nerves. Hut little Frank is exactly like his father very calm and placid and easygoing, and I'm really much more fond of him." "Middle" Children Neglected. There Is something undeninbly true In the point of view of tho Practical Mother. It is possible that In one of her children a mother may find a more congenial nnd responsive nature than In any of the others. Hut the ques tion is not whether it is natural for her to feel such a preference, but whether she is Justified In letting It THE KINDERGARTEN DE VELOPS CHARACTER. At the recent meeting of tho department of superintendence of the National Education as soclntlon, Superintendent II. S. Weet of Rochester, New York, said : "Education for citizenship In this country makes a peculiar demand for the development of character qualities. If an ap proach to the American ideal means anything It iiienns a , growth In our appreciation of tho fact that liberty is the right to do us we ought nnd not ns wo may wish. Wo believe in the kindergarten primarily' be causc of Its possibilities for be ginning nnd effectively continu ing just this appreciation. Child instincts are domlnnnt nt the age of four. To the kindergarten Is entrusted the great responsi bility nnd the most delicate task of so balancing self-expression nnd self-repression as to develop n human personality that Is at the same time self-sulllclent and yet helpful and co-operative." affect her attitude toward her children so that the fact becomes noticeable to other people and even to the children themselves. In large families, wo frequently seo parents who give a certain prestlgo nnd power to the eldest, permitting him to dlctntc to the whole family. Evan more frequently we see parents, but especially mothers, who favor the youngest child, granting him greater consideration though expecting less from him thnn from the others; in short, petting him all through her life time. "Middle children" aro seldom tho recipients of extra favors unless In tho case of an only girl or an only boy In a family of tho opposite sex. I recall ono little incident of a step father of ono girl and five boys which I thought quite touching. He had a beautiful book which they all wanted very much but which they refused to own together. Naturally, he was un certain to whom he should give the book, but finally, handing It to the third hoy, he said, "I'm sorry I haven't a book for each one of you, but I think I'll give this to you, Harry. You aren't the oldest and you aren't tho youngest nnd you aren't the only girl, so you don't get many extras." Then, patting him on the shoulder, he added with a smile, "Besides, I was a middle child, myself." Partiality Should Be Avoided. Parents should watch very carefully to avoid partiality, for if they do not, tho moment Is sure to como when the children will discover it. As soon as any bucIi partiality becomes evident, the favored child Is apt to become "spoiled," und tho seeds of thnt ugly quality of Jealousy arc sown In his sisters and brothers. ' A child's nature should be allowed to unfold in the sunny atmosphere of love and trust. Iiy studying his needs, parents can holp to bring out the best in him, thus forestalling that coldness and lack of sympathy which we regret to seo between parents and those adult children whoso attitude toward life is embittered because, when they were young and affectionate, they were subjected to the chilling effect of tho consciousness that n little sister or brother always Uood first In their pprcnt'C " - Taste is a matter of tobacco quality We state It as our honest belief that the tobaccos used In Chesterfield "are of finer quality (and hence of better taste) than In any other cigarette at the price.

"I like being adored," she said, "even though I dislike the person who adores me." "You can express thnt more simply by saying, 'I'm a lllrt,'" snld Philip. "But It's such an ugly word. Be sides, everyone likes being ndorcd; everyone is a lllrt in thnt sense. It's only the people who never aro adored who call It lllrtlng. They would like to be adored, but as they can't, they call the rest of us rude nnmes. But It's no use going about trying to bo ndored becauso nobody has tho least Idea as to how to set about It. It's not the least use being kind nnd hon est and amlnble, for that only makes you mildly popular, while the most disagreeable people get worshiped. And it isn't any good being beautiful. I dare say beauty hurries people up, because there is obviously something rather attractive about it, but it's not a bit of good by itself. Perhaps bruins have got something to do with it, or Is there n sixth sense which directs it all?" From "Lovers nnd Friends," by B. F. Benson. Hail Men With "Pep."
