’ Silence Best Method for ' Ending Fear

/ /lalk Makes Imaginary Dangers Real, Expert Says.

we FARE

By OLIVER ROBERTS BARTON Jackie starts up the stairs to ped. He is. all undressed and has “ust kissed daddy good-night. You *nake a move to go with him, but daddy says, “Let him go up alone. de knqws the way and you are sired. Can’t he pull up the covers aimself?” You decide to try it, just to. see vhat ‘happens. So you agree, and 70 out to the hall with him. A dght is burning by the stairs to show: him the way. He gets to the :50p while you watch, and then sud-~lenly-he turns and comes hurrying sown. “It’s all dark up there,” Ae-says; “I'm afraid.” It isn't very dark, but Jackie has ~0- pass a shadowed corner as well :a8- two. darkened bedrooms with open - doors. - It is the first time, hat Jackie has failed you in his Jife. - You never dreamed that he was a “fraidy cat.” Both of you are shocked and eved and ex‘plain that there is nothing to hurt = and to try it again.

. Explanations. Only Confirm

8 But the more you talk the more Jackie balks. He can’t explain that a black balloon of imagination is crowding his heart into his -throat, so" he begins to chatter about big bad things, making them up: as he goes, to explain what he knows he can’t explain. Maybe there is more talk. Kindly enough, but positive. That finishes it. With all this stuff taking shape in his mind that was not there before, now he knows. Negatives mean little to a small child. There

is something to be afraid of, he

convinces himself. Silence is golden in all handling of fear. In this case the best way is to. change the subject. Take Jackie up ‘as usual and tell him a funny story. Be gay and pretend that you did not notice anything out of the ordinary. +Go up with him, tuck him in, and leave w light in the hall this first night. Leave his door open half way. Each night. close the door just a little more and reduce the light. When he can rest happily with his own door closed, after, say,.a week Oor.so, you might try again to see if he will go upstairs alone. Have lights on in all the bedrooms this time, and both halls. Lower them each night as before. The day will come when all he needs is enough to guide him to his own room. ~ No doubt you are saying this is loflg drawn-out experimentation. And so it is. But I give it to show how to wipe out unfortunate impréssions. = Most youngsters are afraid of the dark, and they get used to being afraid. But in some cases, it remains to dog them and make life almost unbearable. The ‘method of going back to the beginnings and manufacturing a new courage is wiser than talk, force, or shaming. .

For all its simplicity, this dress is distinctly individual, thanks to the button-trimming on the raglan sleeves, the braid that outlines the yoke, the shaped belt and the pockets. This clever design is easy and quick to make. The pattern and & detailed sew chart show you exactly how to proceed. Pattern 8107 is designed in sizes 14, 16, 18, 20, 40 and 42. Size 16 calls for 4% yards of 39-inch material, with 6% yards of braid for rimming, Si : To obtain a pattern and step-by-step sewing instructions inclose 15 cents in coin together with the
