I HE habit of threatening is .a bad element in the training of chil dren; unless threats are meant, the mother has nothing to gain in using them, and she loses much of the respect of her child. In a remarkably, short time he learns that the mother's threats are 'mere words, that they mean 'nothing; so he. continues tof do exactly as he pleases in spite of them,-while the mother sighs and wonders why , her child is so disobedient .v t . , . I heard recently of a mother who told her Utile girl to change' her shoes feelore going to drive. The child fretted 'and whined, and while she did not Sjositively refuse, neither did she. make any effort toward obeying the mother's Tequest After ten or fifteen minutes of unpleasant skirmishing between mother -and child came the threat, "Very well, then; you- shall not 'go to drive with me ismless your shoes are changed." ;' v "': At this the little girl -made. a sudden run for. tho hall, .then slowly edging Jher way sidewise down the stairs, kept calling hack, "I'm going to get in the acaniage, I'm going to get invthe carriage." She kept this up until she reached Jte door, then darted out and did get into the. carriage. --. The mother mean ?wnfle was helplessly exclaiming: "What is there to be dione with such a dis,-oh-edient child. I know I ought to bring her right back and' insist upon" her aidnding me, and really she should, have a good spanking; t but If I attempt to liring her back she will scream and kick, so I suppose.l must give in s rather 4han have a scene." ' - ' ", ; ' When the mother . swent out, this-prematurely wise little girl greeted her isrith the sweetest smile and thesei words : . .You did not mean a word of what 3xra said, did you,.mothef? I knew'it" And with a knowing twinkle in : her ye she added, "If you really want me to I'll, change my "shoe3 next time." The - another, who but a moment ago was distressed and mortified at the disobedience f her little girl, now laughed and thought her remarkably clever and so she was.
