A Broken Home A Little Talk on Child Guidance. case of Esther gives food for thought. When she was five years old her mother and father were divorced and Esther went to live with her mother. At school she suffered considerably from feelings of social inferiority due to her mother's personal misfortune.

She succeeded, however, not only in making a good adjustment at school, but also, later on, in work. Her own marriage has been successful. she felt keenly her need of faThroughout her growing years ther. But her mother wAS woman of courage Esther had the advantage of growing up in an atmosphere free of the unacknowledged fears and unhealthy undercurrents of emotion which weakens the child's confidence in himself and his appetite for life. We hear a great deal about the handicaps of children who live in broken by death or divorce.

Certainly no one will deny that the child who is forced to grow up in a broken home suffers a profound spiritual privation, yet it is one which is calamitous only when the child must spend his formative years with those who are not able to face their failures and assimilate their griefs. Those hardships which parents are able to accept with fortitude and poise will work no harm in the lives of their children -indeed, they may be a source of strength. It is in the griefs which they cannot accept and in the failures which they cannot face that the poison is found which warps the child's life and twists his values. A broken home is unfortunate, but it need not be tragic. Song MAKE my shroud but no one knows, So shimmering fine it is and fair, With stitches set in even rows.

A Daily Thought Our times of greatest pleasure are when we have won some high peak of difficulty, trodden under foot some evil, and felt day by day so sure a growth of moral strength within us that we cannot conceive of an end of Brooke. From the Bottom of the Payroll BY THE OFFICE GIRL. other day I had my lunch in one of the hotels, and THE was surprised to see, in this day and age, two men whose manners correso ponded with those of Farmer Brown who used to talk about what "I sez" in a nassal tone of egoism. They piled things on their knives up above the hilt, and then poked it down their throats in much manner of the knife swallower. "They held their bread flat on the of their hands, spread it with great slaps of the knife, then ate butter side down.

But with all their odd manners, they couldn't compete with the funny sights I saw today in one of our exclusive tearooms. Women and were there, sophistocated and blase, with stunning clothes, trifling conversation, and cigarets. But they weren't smoking for pleasure; they were showing off. One stout woman, with a rope of pearl beads suddenly dropping like a waterfall from her square chest, was working hard. She took a deep and liberal drag and shot the smoke in one long funnel halfway across the room.

She took small puffs that immediately spurted out in a tiny little cloud, and she no sooner blew out one than she started another. Such a constitution as she must have! At a table on the other side of the room were two modern sophisticates they just appeared that way. One languished all over the table. Apparently she has been told that to inhale, one breathes in the smoke.

She has misunderstood. As she placed the cigaret in mouth, she took a deep breath, her nostrils dilated, she held the smoke in her mouth a minute, then blew it slowly out, starting fixedly into space. Her girl friend across the table was very Grecian. She divided her smoke into two periods, blowing part out right away, and holding the rest a minute. As the smoke came out, she turned her head slowly to one side and half closed her eyelids.

They were all looking at me with pitying smile because they thought I disapproved and was shocked. Otherwise, why should stare? After this the men may eat the way they please.

Beggar Dodges Income Tax. Trouble between a professional beggar and the income-tax authorities has brought out the comfortable incomes being enjoyed by the gentry in England. The beggar in question is a woman who has been writing letters pleading starvation and asking for funds. Investigation showed that her annual income is $2,100, and that she occupies a house the rental of which is only $140. The income tax authorities are trying to get her to pay up.

Another woman whose begging letters said her husband dying from cancer and that, they. were penniless, was living with happy, healthy mate in their own home and enjoying a income from the woman's "literary" efforts. four Match sellers make from $15 to $20 a week without parting with 8 single match, and weeping chair menders gather $25 a week while doing scarcely any mending.
