Show ways way to keep neat my children were becoming dreadfully careless about leaving their things around said an original mother and tho the older members of tile the family any too tidy so I 1 made up my mind that I 1 going to be a pickup pick up drudge for the rest of tho the household I 1 set up a big fine box a box with an oblong hole in the top into which I 1 put every single thing hat colt coat toy pipe no matter what that I 1 found lying around in the way and to get his or her property the owner had to pay a penny 1 if it was waa one of 0 the children ten teh cents in case of the older ones As tile the children have only an allowance ot of ten cents a week each they naturally want to pay it ft out in fines so they began to bo be careful gradually tho the whole family mended their ways and now my fine box is generally empty and the kouse house Is ax as tidy as aa you please |
