| «By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON . =3¢ our little child of a year or “two had only will and curiosity for us to worry about, mother, our trouhles. would end with a few
bumps, some spilled Jelly and a BE vase, or two. That would be
easy. But up jumps the devil! Mother Nature is not always a good old
dame conferring blessings with her f°
wand: she often acts like the thirteenth Sie who is determined to ‘put. plenty of thorns on the roses, and into every baby the ‘makings of. mischief. oo xi cannot help it if he has so many grains of jealousy in the Rx of his prescription. He: cannot help it, either, <1 he 'is when he thinks he is being laughed at. Neither can te do anything about his personal compound cone four parts selfishness. And here I have to' use again that inescapable word “complex”. For complex, natural complex, is not a twist as most think, ; but something that belongs right there in the mind. We mix our * terms, and speak only of suppressions and jons as “complexes.” Such, however, is not quite the truth. Self 1s a natural complex. ~ Control Must Be Built
Well, there is our baby, not a real baby any more, but old enough, as -we think, to have some sense. He is as full of spice as he is of sugar, and dashed with ‘a few bitters in all his mellowness. What about . behavior now? Does it look as though our little angel could be expected to act like an angel? Always? 1 am answering your question before you ask it. “Does not nature have an. antidote?” you may want to know. “Are there not such things as hold-backs and g natural sense of decency in evéry little child?” Yes, indeed. These things are all there. But, as I mentioned before, the driving forces are released first, and inhibitions don’t come to the rescue always when needed. Inhions need encouraging, and abit does the trick, tl Jack were to show up a savage, these things would come along in their own good way, in their own good time, but we have to rush these inhibitions a bit. And by routine "and regularity, kindness but firmness, hold selfishness in check just enough to improve our baby. Besides, it is kindest in the end to help him to control himself.
.Habit a Counter-Balance
* ‘The little child has to be shown the way, so that: later he won't have too much ‘to fight; and can go the rest of the way on his own momeéntum, alone. Again, habit is _ one staff that nature has given the parent to ‘help train the children, as a counterbalance between will ‘and desire, between self-in-dulgence and self-control. “.I mention all these things only to show ‘that small children are frequently blamed for being bad when they: are merely true to instinct. Good habit grows, when encouraged, and thus inhibitions . grow. The child has -adaptability and conformity in him, at some times more than others, but it is there as a starting point, anyway.

A boon to any wardrobe are. the “any season” frocks that brighten up your winter clothes group, are fresh and gay for spring and standbys for the summer. And such . dresses are these sketched here, made of a new acetate rayon fabric, loosely woven to have that smart homespun look. Right now when you're fairly sick of your winter wardrobe but hesitate to buy things you might be able to use for only a short time, “any season” frocks like these gladden your heart—and please your budget. The dresses in the sketch speak eloquently for themselves. They've
long! Since these popular priced frocks are already proving their worth, and are the ideal tonic for a dull wardrobe, they're even now selling like hotcakes—and make promise of being fashion favorites for both the spring and summer. These “good news” dresses of more than one New York shop come in as many and delightful colors as the spring flowers. You'll find it an easy and a pleasant job to choose one, twb (or a dozen!) models in this fascinating new material. : Especially luscious colors are banana, blue, gold, aqua, gold, natural, and pearl gray.
