Tho critical timo of a woman's life

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

taste) than In any other

RISES IN DEFENSE OF FLIRT
According to English Author, Fickle
ness Is Simply Natural Desire
to Be Liked by All.
"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."
"Men with 'pep' rush in where an
gels fenr to tread." Even "In tho pip
ing times of peace" they cast "modest
stillness and humility" to the fourth
remove nnd "let their action Imitate
the tigers." They advance upon our
civilization liko nn nrmy with ban
ners. "Brashness" we used to call It,
with affectionate contempt and tender
pity; "pep" wo hall It now, nnd laud
it with loud'hosannas. Flenry Ford's
Dearborn Independent.
Remember Thou Our Good Deeds.
Remember me, D my God, concern
ing this, and wipe not out my good
deeds that I have done for the house
of my God. Nell. 13:14.
