AGH CHILDREN

HOUSEHOLD MS Boys and Girls Alike Should Learn to Help With Domestic Routine. MW-n .-i he seta mischief," especially whfrc small lingers are concerned. Kortu natHy tho prci-ent-day mothers are -rnl'avorir. to keep the children luy. either through directed play or "helpinK". And what a problem it of U n is when a child many times over in a day, ".Mother, what shall I do now?" to refuse to tind an occupation lor the small questioner, especially when he or she wishes to "help", would be against all the laws of latter-day child-training, and so, if mother has no real task to be done, fche must needs invent something. Not only girls should be allowed and taught to assist with household tasks; boys thoulO have a part in them too, and should be made to feel the responsibility and obligations of the home life and domestic routine, If they are to grow up into considerate husbands, sons and f.ithers. At an early age children are not sex-con-fceious, unless made so by that unfortunate division of tasks and games. This mistake i.s often made by mothers and fathers who are not aware that th- foremost child educators conEider it important for the boy, up to x certain age, to be made as familiar with sewing, cooking and domestic t-cienej ha the little girl. A division, of labor and occupation will neces sarily come later, but it should come naturally and be in no way forced. A boy should be taught to respect the work carried on daily by his mother ani sisters, and finally by his wife. There should be no contempt instilled Into his little mind for "girls' work". Fome of the most progressive schools ure giving boys and girls alike lesions in sewing and cooking. Teach Ilables to Cook. One patient and wise mother of a 3omestically inclined tot taught the little one so well that at four years of ae she could cook remarkably well and at seven could follow any ordinary recipe. Cookbooks compiled tspeelallv for children can bo obtained at any well-stocked hook store. It is surprising, too. how interesting an apparently monotonous task can he made if one atempt to answer all tho questions regarding it that are propounded by little helpers. One will tind that there is more to know about :ommon tasks than one dreamed. It ill benefit both mother and child If the mother will make it a rule to "look up" any point on which she is doubtful. A child's love of work should he Encouraged by loving acceptance of Its offers of services if one wishes that child to be-a willing worker later Dn, when its assistance will be or more material value. For this reason, too. the child should not be required to fatigue itself with any task; neither Should it be permitted to stop on account of a too early cry of being 'tired". Gentle persuasion, or bringing a new interest into the work by ;he help of a story regarding the task Itseif, or a history of the manufacture of the materials involved, will usuallv remedy this last failing. Children of cheerful, willing workers are usually of the cheerful, willing type. ?. strong is a little child's tendency to "imitate". Children IiOarn Fancy Work. It has now become no uncommon thhif- for vounir children to crossstitch ami outline beautifully, boys and Kirls alike. One interested mother in a community has a "thimble rlub" of little Kirls from four years up. meeting at her house once every two weeks, to m-nd old clothes to be given away. The variety of piiin sewing that those youngsters can do Ls remarkable. There are any number of things a email child can do about the house nn garden if it is desirous of helping. Kvcn a two-year-old can shell peas. Iattlo children can co errands up and down stairs or to the garden, run the ?gg beater, turn the cream whipper. dry the small dishes, spoons, forks and silver knives (the silver ones only because- they are blunt), turning water on or oft as needed, dusting, weeding the garden, watering the plants. The child should have a little watering can of its own. Tansies, sweet peas, nasturtiums and all Mowers which have to be picked dally to perfect their bloom wil furnish endless occupation for the small gardner. A rhtld of four can be taught to air the r.eds. especially in summer when the bed clothing is light in weight. And there are ever so many other tasks with which little fingers can be trusted.

The Ellsworth Store is First and "a Little in Front" as You may Easily and Well Note as You have doubtless Time and Again Noted for Place Ahead has long been Occupied by this Store. That it may Long Continue so is our Constant Aim and Endeavor. That's why the Ellsworth Folks are now in New York it takes Time and Study to Select Goods that are Different from the Common Run that are "a Little in Front O' the Next." Fashion Note "Everj'where the Influence of the Modern Schools of Art is Apparent. This Is True not only In the Work of Portrait and Other Painters, but also in the Dress of Fashionable Women." "This Tendency will result in New and Original Effects, founded on Modern Art Principles instead of a Rotation of Old Ideas, as has long been the case. Thun, the trend away from the Oriental Influence has already been Marked."
