We rode out to grandmother’s bouse in a sleigb, with the ground all covered with snow.. . When we entered her huge kitchen, what a heavenly smell of spice, of roast turkey and pumpkin pie. . . and other goodies so nice. . . .The big. old-fashioned kitchen stove made the kitchen cozy and warm. . . It felt so good to come into the house, out of the cold and the storm. . . The table groaned with good things to eat, as we sat around the table and ate. . . And I remember grandmother’s face, radiant and sweet, as she stood waiting for us, out at the garden gate.” N LIBERMAN ot BrooWyn, N. Y., thinks I am wrong He*thTnk,"th^ri‘ wrong.” that’he U wrong "'ell, note that I didn’t say you must always agree with a man, though I did say for you not 16 say “No you’re wrong.” It i, the phrasing that IS important. Dr. Lieberman says—and I am sure that you will agree with him, as I do—that there is an art m saying no, and this art is based on the mdest law of human relationships—respect for the other fellow. "^en someone comes to me with an idea.” says Dr. Lieberman, “I ask him to spill it, and as soon as possible I agree with some minor P™P“>Uon- Then I ask him to come n C.m.rf. back after a few days or a week, when we both will have had time to think over the matter.

Minnie H. Bnmer ot Philippi, W. Va.: ’T remember when children bought their shoes and school supplies at ^e country store with walnut kernels, chest nuts and mayapple roots. Said supplies consisted of slates, pen cils, pen, ink, writing paper and a few yards of print for aprons. rutut't NOTMiwo ^ LtKC STAVriNfr SCHOOL WITH A CLtAH 6LM91 Books were the greatest problem. They had to be bought with money. Each book would be handed down from child to child bs they moved up from grade to grade. We all wore wool stockings and in the winter we wore shawls instead of coats.” From Mrs. Alice Addington Harri son of Gotebo, Okla.: ‘T remem ber when a girl chum and I made dresses of black lawn costing five cents a yard. We put baby ribbons on each ruffle. The ribbon cost five cents for 20 yards. Altogether, the dresses cost us less than a dollar apiece to make.
