Keep Your Promises! 
Jean Howard Recalls Bitter Experiences 
RECENT little verse in the “A. 
A.” touched a chord of- memory in 
my own experience. The lines ran: 
“Son’s pig—and daddy’s sow, 
Son’s calf—and daddy’s cow.” 
In my case it was “daughter’s” pig, 
calf, colt, etc. When the little runt 
pigs, too weak to fight for their share, 
or the orphans or those disowned were 
found, it was “Daughter, take care of 
that little animal, and if you raise it 
you may have it.” 
Oh! the joy of ownership to a child! 
How gladly I would arise during the 
night to warm milk for the little pork¬ 
ers ! And the rows of corn and beds of 
garden truck I needed for the crisp 
and much relished “pusley” and other 
greens so succulent to piggies’ taste; 
and the numerous trips to the woods 
for luscious acorns! How proud I was 
when the one-time scrawny runt 
claimed the admiration of the whole 
family by tipping the scales at several 
hundred pounds! 
And then—^the things that try a 
child’s faith and innocent confidence in 
all humanity! “Well, daughter, your 
pig is the biggest and fattest, so we 
will butcher it.” 
Broken Promises Mean Heartaches 
If parents could realize, even in part, 
a child’s feelings at such a time, there 
would be fewer heartaches and disap¬ 
pointments that leave scars for many 
long years. Ever since I had under¬ 
stood money, I had wanted my own 
bank account so I could write my own 
checks. But now—where were all 
those nice, useful things which were to 
have been purchased with the money 
brought by that big fat pet? Instead 
of going proudly to the local bank to 
deposit the returns it was a sorrowful 
trip to the woods (nature’s healer of 
heartaches), to be out of sight and 
sound when the killing took place. 
And the little calf—that my childish 
heart dreamed of as the foundation of 
a future herd,—^where was it? Driven 
to market with Dad’s and the proceeds 
lumped in with his for the purchase of 
new machinery. And at sight of my 
tears it was always “Never mind, 
daughter. I’ll give you another one 
some day, and you can do as you please 
with it.” 
And the orphan colt I raised “by 
hand” and loved as a dear chum that 
he was? It went the same way to swell 
the ache of a child’s trusting heart— 
and father’s bank account as well. Par¬ 
ents, do realize that your boy and your 
girl love to feel that they really own 
things thus given them—animals which 
would otherwise have died but for their 
care and attention! I can testify (and 
I do not stand alone) that the scars 
thus caused remain long in a childish 
heart, while faith is lost in those who 
should be nearest and dearest. 
Teach your children the art of spend¬ 
ing money thus earned in some useful 
way, and let them learn early to rely 
upon their own judgment —and upon 
your promisee! You will have finer, 
more self-reliant sons and daughters, 
and proud of the sympathy and co¬ 
operation by which their parents niade 
their success and character possible. 
THREE STYLES FOR DIFFERENT HOURS OF THE DAY 
A n out-and-out apron, an in-between house dress and a smart frock for 
more formal wear this week, suggest the proper apparel for any time of 
the day. Best of all, they are equally smart and not at all hard to make. 
Try them and see! 
If you are fussy about the 
kind of dress you wear 
about the house, you will 
like this attractive and 
practical style. It may be 
made as the popular cover¬ 
all which completely pro¬ 
tects the garment under¬ 
neath, or if you like, it is 
equally suitable as a house 
dress. Made of printed "per¬ 
cale at 15c. per yard, with 
binding for trimming at 
20c. a piece (6 yards in a 
piece) ; this garment would 
cost abo,ut 70c. Any ama¬ 
teur home dressmaker could 
make it in an afternoon. 
No. 1560 is cut in sizes 
36, 40, 44 and 48 inches 
bust measure. Size 36 re¬ 
quires SYs yards 36-inch 
material with 3 yards bind¬ 
ing. Price 12c. stamps or 
coin; (stamps preferred). 
A touch of daintiness in 
the embroidery motive, ap¬ 
plied to waist and pockets, 
sets this apron apart ^rom 
its more prosaic fellows as 
rather smart and pretty. Yet 
it is just as easy to make 
as a more commonplace 
one. Doesn’t the family 
which sees you so often in 
the kitchen deserve to see 
you wear a becoming, 
graceful style for your 
work-a-day clothes? 
No. 1435 cuts in sizes 
36, 40 and 44 Inches bust 
measure. Size 36 requires 
2% yards 36-inch material 
with 6 yards binding. Price 
12c. stamps or coin. 
Transfer pattern No. 
622 —In blue only— 12c. 
Of Chinese origin are the 
wide sleeves that narrow 
at the elbow of this smart, 
new frock, patterns for 
which are obtainable in 
sizes 16 years, 36 and 38 
inches bust measure. To 
make the dress with the 
pleated flounces in the 36- 
inch size will require IVs 
yards 40-lnch material. 
With gathered flounces, of 
course, less material Is re¬ 
quired. Pattern 12c. 
stamps or coin. The sleeves 
are cut in one with the side 
front and side back. The 
dress is made to close on 
the left shoulder. 
Crepe de Chine and satin- 
faced Canton crepe are good 
choices of material for No. 
1664.
