ADVICE TO MOTHERS
Sometimes interruptions that seem to delay and obstruct the home-maker's work are more important than the work itself, says a writer in the "Christtian Science Monitor." If a little boy has made a discovery which seems wonderful to him, the wise mother will stop work and receive his confidence with understanding because to retain a child's trust to keep open the channel between them is more important than dishes or dusting. Sometimes a little girl is greatly puzzled over some careless remark or her natural fearlessness is in danger of damage by some unfortunate circumstance. When she wants an explanation or reassurance before she can go back to her work or play happily the mother will realise the need and gladly give her attention to the child, no matter what "household duty is interrupted or put aside. A day full 'of interruptions and setbacks, nevertheless, may be a day of creative achievement.
