HINTS FOR MOTHERS.

Don’t expect good manners In children If they are treated by their elders in an unmannerly manner. Do not be surprised if children are snappish and quarrelsome if you set them the example by being so to them. Don’t frighten children Into being obedient by threats which you have no lnteution-.nL carrying- oat Your future difficulties Tn managing your children are enormously increased by this unwise, but not uncommon practice. Don’t take fidgety children with you when you go to pay calls. It is too great a tax on the forbearance of your friends, and it has led to the severing of acquaintances. Don’t—because It Is easier to do things yourself than teach the children and gl:'. :;row up with slovenly habits. Don’t forget them; if you do not make companions of yonr children in their youth you can’t expect them to be your friends when they grow up. —Exchange.
