HOW TO SHOW PICTURES TO CHILDREN
made harder when the mother describes an altogether new picture, and the children listen intently in order to identify it among a mixed collection of picture postals and prints brought forth at the close of the description. Mothers will also find that a bedtime picture may occasionally be substituted for a bed-time story, the picture being vividly described, not actually seen. The love of pictures, like the love of books and music, binds parents and children together in delightful intimacy, and will permeate all the home intercourse.
