THE ATLANTA SEMT-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1913. I almost always enjoy the Levies' Home Journel, but the August number has several things in it that are worth the price for a year. I have been called strict and cranky because. I have tried to show some of the mothers where the free and easy ways of life lead. Nobody enjoys so ciety, neighbors and freedom from stiff ness any mor ethan I do, but to see a man catch a girl, or two girls around the waist and the three breast the waves is a little too much. The first etep from modesty is taken and the downward path is easier than many mothers think. The pictures in the last issue of the magazine are not imagi nary. They might be taken as fair samples of swimming places nearer our hum#s than Atlantic City, or Rockaway, or wherever they did come from. Its a pity, but its true that there must al ways be policemen to make people de cent. Only a short time ago I was In a park with Mary Elizabeth and some others and we saw a young man and a girl strolling along the path with their arms around each other. They thought nobody knew them and that made it all right. As a matter of fact it had nothing to do with it Three little boys came along and hooted and jeered to thedr hearts content Two little girls passed and turned their eyes the other way. On the minds of the five children was left a stain. And, to me, the mothers of the girl and man were largely responsible. Do you think they taught their children the fundamental truths as carefully as they should have done? Did they commence early enough? Certainly there are exceptions to all rules. There may be black sheep in .almost every flock, but when one hears a mother say to her little daugh ter, "Kiss Jamie, he is your little sweetheart,” she then and there sows the seed 'of immorality. The children get the idea that there may be very easy manners between so-called sweet hearts, and as they grow up the silken cord of dalliance becomes a heavy chain of bad habits. In this same August number is a fine article by a plain country woman. Would that the world had a million exactly like her. She truly says that grown folks have no idea of childhood. The mother especially is building more than the one edifice of hef* own child’s character. Somebody asked a noted educator at what age should a child’s mind be taken in hand. “Ten generations before he is born,” was the emphatic answer. Char acteristics crop out and dispositions be gin to show traits of ancestors long ago forgotten. One is a coward who fears to face evil tendencies and tries to shift the blame on other shoulders by saying, “There is no use to try to change Harry. He is his Uncle Joseph over again.” Seeing the tendency is like smelling emoke hunt the flame ere it gets beyond you and getting it under control. I know a mother whose boy six years old gives way to paroxysms of rage. He tears his sleeve or handkerchief with his teeth, lies on the floor and kicks his heels against it, or beats his fists until they are blue. “Would you whip him?” you ask. I don’t know what I would have done when that temper first showed itself. A very small thing might then have stopped it. I think many a child is not judiciously handled at the beginning. Now I would take him to a really thoughtful doctor and see if it is an organic trouble of any sort, and then' when the tantrum, as they call it, comes I would know how to handle him. For mere temper I would turn the hose on him—a dash of cold water is good for fighting dogs and bad children. I knew a boy six years old who had tantrums thatturned out to be epilepsy. The question was never set tled in my mind how much the teasing a certain uncle gave him, to see him rage, had to do with the development of the disease. We so often shirk duties because we know that the same thing must be done over and over, “line upon line, precept upon precept.” and the ex amples must not be contradictions. The idea of shielding children from hard work is just what it should be, but one’s love should not tempt one to gratify every whim the child has. An idle brain is occupied by Satan we are told. So the better plan, it seems to me, is for the little tot’s brain to be filled with beautiful thoughts, and its little hands and feet be put Into loving service. It is not the work itself, if not too heavy, that is wrong. It is the way the mind’s eye looks at it. It is the choice of occupations to’show what is hard work and wiiat is really merely WOMAN TOOK FRIEND’S ADVICE And Found Health in Lydia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Windcir; Kansas. — * ‘’I had a displace ment which caused bladder trouble and I was so miserable I didn’t know what pleasant exercise. I heard two old la dies, both in their “seventies,” trying to convice each other about their favorite occupations. One_has fine chickens and does all the work herself, the other has a Jersey and contends that her work is not half as hard or unpleasant as the chickens. Its all in the way one looks at it. Do you remember that splentfid book, ‘The Crown of Wild Olive?” Ruskin says, “And depend upon it, all work must be done at last, not in a disorder ly, scrambling, doggish way, but in an orderly, soldierly human way—a lawful way.” Men are enlisted for the labor that kills—the labor of war; they are count ed, trained, fed, dressed and praised for that. Let them be enlisted also for the labor that feeds; let them be counted, trained, fed, dressed, praised for that. Teach the plow exercise as carefully as you do the sword exercise.” Teaen your children that one cannot have all that the eyes see or the heart craves, that labor, honest endeavor, even if salted wtih tears; must be the price paid for the things, that count. That the real gentleman or lady does not ac cept money or gifts, except oi) rare occa sions, that the things that seemingly come easily often have a price that calls for self respeett’s loss and a spoiled fu ture. Teach your little child to say, “No thank you,” when strangers want to give them money or fruit. Many a downward road would be blocked if such had been the hhbit of some that now are lost to their homes and themselves. “She’s so little, wait until she gets older to teach self denial,” I heard lately. Not a week later a neighbor asked, the moth er to please keep that little girl at home, as she was teaching her son to steal. Don’t imagine that all the command ments or precepts you may try to drill into your child will nullify your exam ple. The story you tell the conductor about its age, or the miscount in things brought from the grocer's cannot escape the clear eyes of childhood. So let your path really be as straight as the one you would like for yqur children to think you are walking. “Don’t talk big. and act little,” was the advice an old darky gave her young master. Don’t— but what’s the use to say more? Let’s all of us do our very best and, in that way help the world. Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. THE EVENING STORY (Copyright, 1913, by W. Werner.) It is almost the very minute of clos- show with him and Fred and me?” ing time and Hilda was flurried by the two insistent customers who de manded attention At the same time. IT HAD BEEN HARD ENOUGH LIV ING ON HER SALARY. Hilda was sitting wearily in the ramshackle rocker. At Edith’s ques tion she began to cry. “Go to a the atre?” she sobbed. “In a forty-nine- cent shirt waist and a patched black skirt? I wish I was dead! And I’ll never get that $18!” Edith’s eyes blurred in sympathy. “I wish—” There was a knock at the door and she said: “Come in.” Hilda did not look up. She supposed that it was the girl who had the next room. She was a pretty gay little thing, whose excellent salary as sten ographer in a bank made their own seem less. “Alf!” cried Eidith gayly. “When did you get hack in town? And how’s the folks out in Nebraska?” “Fine,” he answered. Hilda was furious. With -her red eyes and mussed hair! She acknowl edged the introduction without raising her eyes. Alf delivered a cake and some jelly that Edith’s aunt had sent her: And then he said abrubtly: “I got hold of something the night I left here that 1 don’t know how to get rid of. So I came around to see if you could tell me. »I was in an awful rush, and my last collar button broke. 1 Hilda looked up and recognized him. “Then it was you!” she cried. “And it was you!” he replied in turn. He pulled out the pearl pin with a laugh. “I never looked at the pack age till I was on the train. Just shoved it Into my pocket. And then, to save my life, I couldn’t remember what store I had been in. You know all thos department stores in a row look alike to a fellow. I’ve been to two this aft ernoon and no one seemed to remember. A SONG fN A CORNFIELD. A song in a cornfield. Where corn begins to fall. Where reapers are reaping— Reaping one, reaping all.

Then a thin young fellow in a low visored cap had rushed up for collar buttons. He didn’t care what kind nor price so long as he got them quickly. The other salesgirls* already had tossed black sateen aprons to the shelves behind the counter and were filing to the time clock. The cashier in the booth above was anxious to get away. She hastily wrapped up the two small articles, tossed them and the change to Hilda and scooted. Hilda passed them over to the impatient cus tomers, who hurried out. Two minutes later, when she was hurrying out herself, she had a sud den fear that the package handed to the man had not been flat, as though It held a card of collar buttons. She shivered, but it was too late then to make sure. And she tried to persuade herself that she merely was imagin ing trouble, a habit that she had ac quired lately. She ate dinner in the small cafe near her rooming house with out much appetite. It was not a pleas ant cafq, but it was near by and cheap, two items that counted heavily when a girl was tired out at night and only able to spend a certain sum for a meal, no matter what her appetite or fancy. Afterward she mended stockings and waists in the small room that she shared with a girl who worked at a telephone exchange. Edith worked nights and slept days, so the arrange ment was convenient for both. But this night Edith was not work ing. She had a day shift for a while. She was a tall, rather flashy girl. Hil da, of a demurer type, liked her and disapproved of her. “I was going to a dance tonight,” Ed ith yawned. “But Alf—he’s a ninth cousin—was called out of town. You could have gone along.” Hilda shook her head. She liked Ed ith. but she didn’t like the style of young men whom Edith affected. Most ly loud, with a free and easy address tnat made her uncomfortable. Besides she had no clothes that by any ingenu ity could be made suitable for a dance. Black serge skirts and plain shirt waists were all that her salary yield ed, and even those took careful plan ning. In the morning she awoke with a vague sense of something uncomforta ble hanging over her, but she did not remember until she had punched the : ... time clock and picked up the check- , ion of a national Catholic Women s book.

Un der the urgent appeal of the Egyptians, offering them anything they had if Israel would but leave before all of the Egyptians had been killed, they spoiled the Egyptians, taking jewels of gold and silver, embroideries, rich vestments, and everything- that a highly developed ^civilization might have in its posses sion. They were hurried off so by the Egyptians that they had no time to complete their baking, so they gathered up the unleavened dough in their knead ing troughs, placed them on their backs, and started for the three days’ jour ney into the wilderness where they might sacrifice to Jehovah their God. It did not take Pharoah any longer than that to realize that from a po litical point of view he had acted very unwisely. His advisers only accentu ated this thought, for they reminded him what a valuable asset these numer ous slaves were, particularly in his building operations. Accordingly he summoned his army, put them in line of march, and pursued after the Israel ites. They had at least three days’ start of him; but it would not take him long to overcome that handicap; for they were more numerous and must march more slowly, while his men. mounted and without such impediments, ccul<l travel twice as rapidly. Let us join the departing Israelites for the time. There is abounding Joy amongst them. They have been libera ted from the bondage of Egypt; no more bricks to make, no more tasks to be performed, nor any more beatings by overbearing overseers if the tasks are not completed by the close of the day. Fathers and mothers, young men and maidens, boys and girls, old people —in one and all is the spirit of re joicing. They are in an exultant mood. Besides all this they are in possession of more wealth than they had ever hoped to have owned. There was one among them whose joy was greater than all of the others, but it made him quiet and calm. Mo ses was beginning to realize that for which he had made a sacrifice of what men count everything. Forty years or more before, he had been offered the kingdom of Egypt. He had declined the offer and had chosen the lot of these people, for he had an overpowering con viction that God had miraculously spared his life and given him the un usual advantages that were his for a definite purpose—that he might lead the people into the land of promise. His hopes had been crushed, and he had almost despaired of ever attaining his great desire until recently, when he had the strange vision in the bush. And now that he is realizing his life dream, he is filled with joy. He doesn’t say much, his heart is too full; but he is happy and quiet. In one part of the column is a strange thing. It is an Egyptian sar cophagus containing the remains of Jo seph. Nearly 400 years before, when he died, he extracted a promise of his children that when God led them out of Egypt and back to the land He had given to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and to their seed after them, they would take his remains with them and let them rest in his native sod. This was the sublime act of faith on his part, the greatest evidence of his belief in God’s carrying out His promises. During all that time they had been a constant wit ness to the succeeding generations, and an inspirer of hope to them that they might possibly realize the promises in their lives. By their presence now in the line of march they bore testimony to the faith of the people in the prom ises of God and expressed Israel's as surance that He would bring them safely in to the land of their fathers. That sarcophagus was the tangible ex pression of their faith in God and their hope in His promises. Itwas a motley crowd. There was no orderliness about it. Men, women, chil dren, goats, sheep, cattle, all mixed to gether. There were 600,000 men, which means that there were between 2,000,- 000 and 3,000,000 people in all. (A re cent writer, Dr. Hoskins, had estimated the total number at only 100,000, basing his theory on two things—the similar ity of the Hebrew word for “thousand” and “clan,” and his own observations, after following the route of the exodus, that a larger company than this could not have been maintained because of •the present water supply. There are better reasons for retaining the other number.) Practically all of them had been slaves all of their lives, and had never been out of a very limited area. Can you imagine how such a crowd would a*ct under the circumstances? Stop and think it over. You can enter some* what into the problem Moses had con fronting him. But there was something stranger than all else in*this line of march. At the very head of it was a cloud, more brilliant than any ever seen in the sky that moved before them in the daytime, and rested at night. Moreover at night Its brilliancy increased so that they were constantly in the light. The lum inosity of the cloud was not that of reflection; it came from within. It was the manifestation of the Divine Pres ence leading them and illuminating their way. ISRAEL'S DISTRESS. The cloud led them in a direction north by east from Rameses to Succoth, from Succoth to Etham. This was along the route that led from Egypt through Pal estine to Assyria by way of the Philis tines. But now a strange thing occurred; the Lord told Moses to direct them to turn to the south and east and encamp by the sea The cloud led them in that direction until they came to the sea coast. Here they camped with the sea in front of them, and oh either side precipitous mountains. It was in this position that they heard rumors that troubled them greatly. Pharaoh and his warriors were pursuing them and soon they realized that the rumors were true, for they could see the dust of his chariots and hear the noise of the onward march of the army. They were encumbered with children, cat tle and luggage. The women, at least some of them, would be panicky. It was desirable that those who were not should a situation.

Their only avenue of expression was complaint. Their exuberant joy had com pletely changed. They were filled with fear. In their great fear they cried out to Jehovah—but He had heard them be fore they called. They turned against Moses. Why did you ever bring us out of Egypt? Are there not graves in Egypt, and there are none in this wilderness. If we have to die, we had rather be buried decently in Egypt than have our bones bleach In the winderness.

A DAY’S OUTING. Dear Miss Thomas: I know that you are al ways pleased to learn that your words have helped brighten a life. Many a Chat has seemed written for mv especial benefit Yes terday, as I was getting dinner, and wondering what on earth I could do to tempt the children to eat, I suddenly thought of your love of na ture and how many times you have almost begged the parents among your readers to give themselves and their children outings. The thought was like an inspiration; I immediately “scrapped up” a dinner and at the table told the family of my idea. Even staid old Jesse was pleased and we flew around and sliced bread, stirred up a quick enk?, boiled eggs and put things together In no time. Then we fed Hie chickens, milked the cow. nut the dog’s hread where he could get it. and climbed into our Surry and went four miles from home. We had lemons and sugar and the cool spring water made fine lemonade. The moon was Just right - and we let the children run and race to their heart’s content. I forgot to say that I phoned my nearest neigh bor and ll’iit family joined us. This gave pleasure to all of us and helped the children learn a lesson in giving pleasure to others. It was 9 o’clock when we got home, the children were “dead tired”, the babies fast asleep, but there was not a cross wort and this morning every one had a pleasant memory, and some thing funny to tell. Our plan is to get off at least once a week, until school starts in September. There wasn’t a cent spent that wouldn’t have been spent for the ordinarw meals, or between meals, and everything tasted good. Don’t think your fam used in my sandwiches. The children—in fact, all of us had such a good time that I felt as if I must thank you. We said Inst night that all we lacked was having you with us. Can’t you come to see us one of these days?

The famous expression, “See Naples and die,” Is founded on a play on words. The saying, “All quiet on the Potomac,” Is known only in the United States. “See Naples and die” is international. But it does not mean what it appears to mean. In the Bay of Naples there Is an island called Morreai, which, in Italian, means something connected with death. The original saying was “See Naples and Morreai,” but in a spirit of levity the English trans lated the saying, “See Naples and die.” i coldly ordered Hilda. “Indeed, not!” storriieo the woman. “I bought that to wear last night. Now, I want the money.” “Very well,” said Herrimon. He took her around to the chief cashier and made out a slip of credit entitling her to the money. Then he returned to Hilda, who stammeringly tried to ex plain how she had made the mistake. But there was really no explanation. She stammmered into abashed silence ueioi’e his scornful eyes. “We can’t afford to lose over em ployes’ unmitigated carelessness,” he said, coldly. “We expect you to make up the $18, unless the other customer returns the pin, which is very improb able. You better go up to the main office and arrange the matter.” The other girls listened in awed sym pathy. Strictly speaking, it was care lessness, but each one had a dread vision of the same mistake occurring to herself. One could never tell what would happen. In the main office they allowed Hilda a month to make up the cost of the pin. She came down dazed. It had been hard enough liying on her salary. This would be almost impossible. “Maybe the fellow that got it will come back,” the other girls tried to comfort her. “Maybe,” she agreed drearily, but she had a grim conviction that he would not. She remembered him fairly well. He was young, with shrewd black eyes and a thin olive face. And he had smiled pleasantly when he asked her to hurry. She would know him again. He did not coihe back. Hilda’s face, always delicate and white, grew drawn. Edith would have loaned her the money in a minute, but Edith had had tonsoli- tis, had been out of work for two weeks, and had a doctor to pay. Hilda’s parents were dead. She had been the only child. There was no one to whom she could go. Herrimon glared at her whenever he passed. A Slack month of the year was coming, when there would be a general laying off. She was pretty sure that her name was slated. “I wish I could help you,” Edith mourned every night. “Gee! It’s tough to be poor. But believe me, I plant a dollar a week after this, instead of letting it trickle. There’s that last dress I bought for that dance. And then Alf didn’t take me. I could have had that $8. Say, Hilda, Alf wants to meet you. He likes your style. I told him you had gray-blue eyes and black hair. And he got a glimpse of you one night as you passed us on the street. When he comes back will you go to a nite organization.
