The “Put-It-Away” Habit 
Remember the Birds at Christmas Time > Too! 
C HILDREN learn to love work quite as well 
as play if the mother uses tact and wisdom 
in assigning the first personal tasks. But a 
child learns gradually. It will be useless to 
pick up baby’s toys for two or three years and 
then suddenly some day announce to him that 
he must do it himself. Not only will he rebel 
at the discipline of the task, but he will be 
really bothered about how to go about it and 
just where everything belongs. 
A better method is to start as soon as Bobbie 
can get around on his feet by himself. Pick up 
the toy dog and say, “Now let’s put Fuzzy- 
FOR NEW OR MAKE-OVER 
HPHE long-line silhouette 
of the present season is 
used effectively in No. 1935, 
a slenderizing model which 
almost any age could wear. 
It is smart in the new jersey 
or twill, in soft satin or 
crepe de chine, and here’s 
just a suggestion—if you’ve 
grown a little stouter since 
last year—get out that 
serge or silk dress that’s a 
bit too tight and ,see if you 
can’t cut it over, with a 
little plaid or figured silk 
added, into a very modern 
and becoming gown. 
No. 1935 comes in sizes 
36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 inches 
bust measure. For size 
36, 3 34, yards contrasting.

wuzzy in the corner of the box here. That’s his 
home.” Bobbie is bound to be interested. The 
next day when playtime is over suggest that 
Bobbie take Fuzzy-wuzzy home all alone. He 
will be as proud as anything to do this little 
task. So for several weeks let this bit of work 
grow into a habit. Then add one other toy. 
Bobbie can by this time carry one under each 
arm, which also is a big achievement in his eyes. 
The point is, stick to one thing—teach just 
one task until it is no trouble for the child to 
do it. Later he can haul several toys in his 
little red wagon. 
So from caring for toys he can learn to hang 
up his coat. Be sure there is a hook low down 
and easily accessible. He should learn to put 
all his clothes away, and thus become a real 
helper, for as every mother will admit, picking 
up the children’s clothing from places where it 
has been strewn, demands many hours of time 
in the course of the year. 
There isn’t a doubt but that very small 
children can be trained to do many tasks suc¬ 
cessfully—often surprising a casual observer 
who happens to drop in during their perform¬ 
ance but who has not been a witness to the 
gradual development. However, two impor¬ 
tant points must be remembered: the tasks 
must be taught one at a time and they must 
be made a part of the daily routine. It is use¬ 
less to have baby pick up the toy dog two days 
a week and mother do it the rest .of the time. 
“Keep everlastingly at it! ” 
THE BIRDS’ CHRISTMAS TREE 
O NE of the happiest recollections of my 
childhood is not the big fir tree resplendent 
in tinsel, candy and fruits, but the forlorn 
little fir tree which stood in the rear of the 
yard. That was the real Christmas tree! 
Every year while Dad and Mother trimmed 
the big tree, we youngsters would pull on our 
mittens and caps and go out to trim it for the 
birds. 
■ i We tied on bits of bread with gaily colored 
strips of worsted; tiny balls of fat 01 suet; a 
few pieces of Mother’s Christmas cake and 
even an apple. And oh, what fun it was, out 
there in the frosty air with the breath of snow 
in it; the chatter of the birds as they viewed 
us impatiently and the shouts of the neigh¬ 
bors’ children as they helped us in our task! 
Somehow as I look back, the memory of the 
birds’ Christmas tree grows more and more 
cherished and I wonder more mothers do not 
give their children the opportunity to remem- 
! ber the birds at holiday time. 
Of course, in the Christmas rush and bustle, 
| it will be difficult to bother with cutting up 
i bits of bread, fruit and suet; it will take time 
to rummage through boxes for bits of worsted; 
but some day your children will look back as 
I look now and their tenderest memory will be 
of the little mother whose tired hands cut the 
bread and cake and suet for the birds’ Christ¬ 
mas tree. And they will be gladThey had that 
kind of a mother.— I. R. Hegel. 
USES FOR DISCARDED INNER 
TUBES 
A PAIR of stout shears, a few minutes’ work, 
and lo, I have an abundance of small 
round rubber mats cut from our discarded 
automobile inner tubes! Placed beneath 
more decorative mats or doilies, they protect 
absolutely our mantels, tables and dressers 
from the ugly rings that come sooner or later 
from flower vases. They may be of any de¬ 
sired size or shape. 
These tubes also furnish us with all the 
rubber bands of varying widths that we can 
use, altho these must be cut from the unbroken 
or least worn parts of the tube. A grocery- 
man uses them to fasten up many small 
packages, and small boys love to trade with 
him. 
And when our new hose was found to be 
without proper washers it took but a bit of 
work to cut a number of them from the scraps 
left from my mats. A little girl or an invalid 
can turn out a quantity of these handy things 
from an otherwise useless tube. — Lee McCrae.

hobbled away. 
When I turned to look at George, it was to 
find him regarding me with a very strange 
expression. 
“Sir,” said he ponderously, “did you sleep 
in th’ ’aunted cottage last night?” 
“Yes, though, as I have tried to explain, it 
is haunted by nothing more alarming than 
a Scots Piper.” 
“Sir,” said George, in the same slow, heavy 
way, “I could n’t go a-nigh the place myself— 
’specially arter dark—I’d be—ah! I’d be afeard 
to! L I did go once, and then not alone, and I ran 
FOR SLIM OR STOUT 
A N ideal style for 
everyday wear that 
must also be a trifle 
dressy is No. 1960, 
which by the simple 
side drapery and in¬ 
serted vest offers op¬ 
portunity for brighten¬ 
ing an otherwise severe 
line. The crossed 
fronts and alternative 
of tight-fitting or open 
sleeves makes the model 
becoming to either a 
slim or a stout figure. 
No. 1960 cuts in sizes 
36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 
inches bust measure. 
Size 36 takes 3$4 yards 
40-inch material with 
14 yard contrasting.

away. Sir, if so be as you’m in the same mind 
about it—I should like to—to shake your 
hand.” 
So there, across the anvil which was to link 
our lives together thenceforth. Black George 
and I clasped hands, looking into each other’s 
eyes. 
“ George,” said I at last, “ I’ve had no break¬ 
fast.” 
“Nor I!” said George. 
“Then come, and let us eat,” and I turned 
to the door. 
“Why, so we will—but not at ‘The Bull’ — 
she be theer. Come to my cottage—it be 
close by.” 
“With all my heart!” said I, “and my name 
is Peter.” 
“What do you say to ’am amj eggs—Peter? ” 
“Ham and eggs will be most excellent!" 
said I.
