story. It is also a most instructive
story, with‘n lesson-ip it for mothers,
nurses and Teachers everywhere, no
matter whether the children are handi
capped by heredity, sickness or en

children In wholesome surroundings.
Miss I‘ugsley says next:

T \\Jhen the, furn.ttu.re was made, the
pillows, blankets, bedding and curtains
all had to be planned. This indeed had
\W ecu 11ar joy for me. T
had long needed anew sugar-coating
my special pills. It was such a
food * thing for those little -paralyzed
hands to sew! Any work or exercise
which stimulated the shrunken mus
cles to attend their old co-ordination
was so valuable. Wl.th what words of
encouragement I had T suggested plant
ing peg-hoard flower gardens and then
urged the child, basket In hand, to pick
a bunch of flowers for me from the
1 same gardens because I knew that by
the simple concentrated effort he was
i doing more for hlipself in those few
minutes than applied massage could do
. for him in an hour. How many times
had f played “Peas porridge hot" and

too much at a time, yet we were gain

It appears, however, that It is not
safe to count on fooling all the chil

Miss Pugsley said to Pauline:
‘‘Pauline, your house is really quite
disgraceful. You have had only three
curtains up for weeks, and visitdrs are
coming to see you all the time. Now
tomorrow, the first filing start on your

At the Putney regatta iu Knglaiu
recently the police had to protect the
oarsmen of the rival crews, from en
thusiastic girls who“ stormed the.ir
dressing room afTer tlie race, asking
for -autographs. A big policeman, how
ever.; politely barbed tlie Way and told
the girls the crew was forbidden to
give any autographs this year. It Is
understood the new rule, was made to
prevent the men from being “pestered"
