USE TACT WITH CHILDREN
I By DOROTHY the World's ULighcst Paid Woni.in Writer
tCopj right, 1?20. by The Wheeler.
Syndicate, Inc. I
There is no one so stiipid as r.ot to
realize that it is tart that lubricates
the wheels of copiety, and m&a it
possible for us to lnc on pleasant i
terms with our fellow creatures.
Without the exercise of diplomncy, '
nations could not maintain tndr cn-1
tente cordial Wl.hout tho use of
policy, lawyers an. I doctors vvouli
lose their clienta and patients, and
merchants their customers. iNono of
us have dealings, it we "an help our
selves, with those why art blunt and.
rough, and who thrust unpalatable
home truths down our unwilling j
throats.
We turn from them to those- who'
arc 6uavc and gracious, and who
sugar-coat so tastily whatever pill
thi administer to us that we gulp it
down easily and ask lor more
Recognizing thus the value of di
plomacy in the outside world It is a!
matter for perpetual wonder that so
few people think it worth while to
install this friction-saving devico in
to their family circles. Somehow
they seem to think that while tact
is the proper dish to set before com
pany, n is loo good for dally home
consumption.
t i. BR ISS KM KLES
Thus you rarely see a husband and
wife who uae the slightest policy In
dealing With each other's littlo pecul
iarities. They never put on their kid
gloves when they come to handle a
delicate domestic situation. Rather
they get out th-ii hia.-s knuckles, and
go for each other's weak spots with
the sure knowledge that experience
has given as to where the other is
most vulnerable, and where a blow,
will hurt most.
As fcr children perish the thought'
that parents should condescend to use
any tact in coping with them, or take
tho trouble of getting around the
anglea of little Johnny and Mary's dis-,
position instead of bumping Into
them, with results that are unpleas
ant to all concerned.
Somebody has said that there is a I
delicate way around every difficulty.
Certainly it Is the circuitous routo that:
leads most surely lo a child's con-1
sciousness. and one "do" la worth I
more than a thousand ' don'ts" to anyj
boy or girl.
For tnis reason no child should ever
be corrected In public If John cats
Wish his knite. or Mary spots tho1
tablecloth, don't call their attention
to their lapse in good manners before

cal moment comes when you are'
alone, and John and Mary ure in a

their offenses, and in sheer gratitude,

There is no better way lo empha-j
size a child's faults than b foreover
rretttng at them. Tell John a hun
dred times a day that you don't know
what will become of him because he
is so careless, and ho will begin to
take a pride in scattering things
about, and make a cult of careless
ness. Be forever a I Mary for being so
awkward, and .-he will become so sdf
conscious she will bo forever fallhiK
over her own feet, and so buttei -fingered
she will drop everything she
touches. Sigh continually over Jam 's
terrible temper and Jane will become
convinced she ha some sort of divine
commission to be temperamental and
indulge in rages.
On the other ha. id, you can d'plo
maUcally represent to Joh-i that as
clever a boy aj ne is must realize thai
ho can never achieve his ambitions in
life unless he becomes an expert In
detail, and you will make of lilm a
stickler for order Instead of criti
cizing Mai)', flatter her ana thus you
will give her the self -confidence that
will make her sure of hers.il' and sne
will bear herself like a goddess.
DRUNK ON M.BU
Make Jane .nee that a woman drunk
on anger is every whit as disgusting a
sight, as one drunk on liquor anil she
will get her temper under control
oh, there ure many ways of managing
children, but going at them with a
bludgeon Isn't one of them.
There are many parents who ac
tually call down the course of failure
on their children by destroying their
faith In themselves To Impress on a
girl that she Is homely . Is to give her
a Shrinking and self-depracatory air
that makes her carry herself 2a per
cent olf of her looks instead of 26 per
cent uboc her looks, as the self-complacent
beauty doe. To inculcate in
a boy the idea that he Is dull and
lar ks energy. Is to slay his courage and
Initiative before he ever has a go at
life, and make him sittlc noun among
the second -raters without trying for u
first place
We should never forget that chil
dren, like prow n-up.s, unconsciously
live up to their blue china, and try
to be what vheir parents expect them
to be.
therefore, we should say "do" to a
Child instead of don't " We should
Beize on whatever is best in him and
develop that, and balance will grow
to meet It
If you want a child lo do any one
thing well nalse it for its efforts In
that line. 1 know a mother whose
sons are noted tor the,r exquisite man
ners, and she confided to me Ihe se
cret of her success in raising gentle
men instead of boors. When they
were littlo chaps she said, "I never
missed the opportunity to pay them

they stood in a lady s presence, or
opened a door for one, or used the
right forks. 1 made them think 1

Ohceupoh a time when L'ncle Wig

at the same time going to the five
and .seven cent store to get a paper
of hat pins for Nurse Jane fc ussy
Wuzzy, the tabbit gentleman heard
some voices talking behind a Jollypop
bush, you know, is the bush off which
the candy men get sticks on which
jthey fasten ice eram cones.
I "Hum! I wonder who is talking
there?" said Unci: Wlggily. I had
best take a look, for It may be 6ome
bad friends of mine who would nibble
my souse."
So the bunny rabbit gentleman
listened again and he heard one voice
say.
" h. but mother' I'm afraid'"
Afraid of what ' silly chap." went
on tho second voice. L'on't you see
me do it easily- Why won t you try "'
'That doesn't sound very danger
ous," thought Nncle Wlggily. "I'll take
a look."
So he looked and he saw a mother
hqptoad and her llitle boy on a sandy
place under the lullypop bush. The
mother toad was Juniph.g mound but
the little boj toad was sQuatting In a
neap atld keeping very still.
'Good morning, Mrs Hopper Toad ",
said l'ncle Wlggily. "What seems lo be!
the trouble this morning.'"
"Oh. 1 can t get little Hoppi to hop." I
said Mrs. Toad. "This in his first hop-,
ping lesson, but he's afraid even to
tako a tin., jump, though he sees me
lake big one. without getting hurt."
"What s the matter, lloppi . .ink I
l'ncle W lggily. Why don't ;ou hop a

"Oh, "cause -I'm afraid if 1 do I'll
come down so hrd" on the solid
J ground that I'll break mv -kin. or bend;
my toenails or something like thai'"
grunted little Hoppl
"Why dont you get him a sofa
, cushion to land on for the first few
hops?" asked the bunny uncle.
I have." said Mrs. Toad. ' I've tried
everything, I've made him a cushion
out of some of Jiminle Wlbblcwohbie's

I goodness knows a hoptoad boy will

show that it Is very easy, and then 1
want you to give a good hop."
l'ncle Wlggily gave one of his best
jumps and landed on the soft bed of
green moss under a tree
"Now, Hoppi!" called the bunnv
gentleman. It s your turn'"
"Oh, I'm afraid!" grunted the little
hoptoad boy. "I'm afraid I'll come

Tommy looked thoughtful. Well,
I declare," he said finully. ' I believe
1 shall do it There's another reason,
also, why I should like to try. You
see. I'm a cobbler by trade, but my

Tommv was going to try it right away,
