_Noi “Nice" Enough r

Mother Frowns On Daughter's Association With Those Nol- ln Blue Book

. , i" ,.i,.-. -_,~. -__ DEARMISS DIX: My problem is my mother. who is deathly afraid khat I will go with someone who isnot "nice" enough for me. "Nice," in Mother's vocabulary, means socially important. No matter how fine the boy and girl in question are, if they do not come up to Mother's stand- , _ g ards, they are taboo for me. i- There is a certain boy I would like very much to (ate. His parents are fine, hard-working people, but they are not up to Mother's ideals. The boy is very popular at school. He goes with the very best crowd and everyone else thinks he is grand, but Mama says he is not. She has never even met him. Yet she says he is not "nice". and is not, willing for me to have any- ~ thing- to do with him. And she takes the same attitude hvith many of my other friends. It is very embarrassing to me. I understand that she thinks she is doing it all for my good, Ion't you consider that she has gone a little too far‘! ' J. O. P.

but

ANSWER: It is stretching things pretty farin s democracy where we are all officially free and equal for a mother not to be willing for her schoolgirl daughter to associate with anyone whose name isn't in Rhé Blue Book. Of course, it is a mother's hounden duty to keep a {watchful eye on her little ewe lamb and see that she doesn't flock with Rho hlack sheep, hut that is just about as far as Mother should go in Bicking out little Mary's associates. ‘

SNOBBISHNESS DOESN'T PAY

As a matter of fact, it is practically impossible for a mother to keep her daughters from knowing anyone who isn't. in the Social Register. because we are such a shifting population, with values that change so often that those who are at the top of the social pot one day may be at the bottom of it the next. Sn it doesn't. pay to he snobbish. You are too apt to meet someone who is going upstairs whpn you are com- ing down. ' ‘

"Many a mother who has kept her daughter from marrying a poor boy from the other side of the tracks has seen him rise to fame and fortune and his wife‘ riding in limousines. while her daughter is a tired and worn old maid slaving behind a counter.

DEAR MISS DIX: Speaking of girls being trained for domesticity it would help if the lads also were educated on running a household’? if marriage is a partner- aiiip, why shouldn't husbands also do their bit’!

Suppose a wife doesn't know very much about cooking-is that a itrugedy? Can't both the husband and wife chip in and do the cooking. instead of the wife doing all the wrestling with the pots and pans? 1 speak from experience as my three brothers and I have all been trained as cooks.

UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE

A magazine article tells of a teen- age boy who was able to do a. diffi- cult mathematical problem in his head. This took two mathematical professors 30 minutes to complete. using pencil and paper.

Our natural opinion was that this boy was unusually brilliant. yet his I. Q. (intelligence quotient) was much below average-An fact. he was almost. an idiot. We learn from this that there are different kinds of intelligence, not different de- grees as we have perhaps always tihought.

An editorial in the "Journal of iihe American Medical Journal" en- titled “Understanding People" calls attention to the address delivered by Roger J. Williams to the Ameri- can Association for the Advance- ment ot science. It was pointed out that the scientific investigations of the next century of our civiliz- ation will not be along present lines, but will be devoted to the science of understanding people — how they are alike and how they differ from one another.

"If we were all the same and had the same likes and dislikes, there would be no need for free- dom. We would all fall readily into the same pattern of life. and diffi- culties would never arise." It ls be- cause we each have our own lndlvi. duality that we ivant to do wihat we want to do.

We all inherit certain distinctive characteristics — shaipe of body, hand, feet. legs, various glands. We differ from one another because we inherit certain qualities or charac- teristics and because of the differ- ences in our surroundings.

There‘ is no question but. that while animals also have differences, the individuality in man is more highly developed than in animals.

Another difference in human beings i: the matter of allergy. Some are sensitive to one substance and others are not sensitive or al- lergic to this but to other SUib- stances. Also, we often see how the srrne drug affects different indi- viduals in various ways.

I-f we icnew ourselves better and knew others better so that we could properly appreciate the differences between us. we then could properly understand our fellow men. It is believed that the sohool of the fut- ure will devote muoh time helping

students in the earliest grades to become better acquainted with themselves.

Wihen laundering quilts do not hang them on the clothesline by means of clothespins as this 1s likely to pull the inside part of the quilt apart. Hang the quilt across two lines and it will dry quicker and keep its shape.

Cocoa

To prevent cocoa iirom lumping. when making, mix a little sugar with it before pouring on the hot water or milk. A pinch of salt added greatly improves th'e flavor.

Cleaning the Sink

Pour a strong solution of hot water and salt through your sink and drain at least once a week. and this will keep it free of grease and

Eillen ’s ‘_ Diary.

By an laland Farmer's Wife

March is here. Month of variable winds and changing skies, and yet owning much charm. All at once, perhaps after a snowfall, we notice that the sunlight is definitely stronger. and the blue which a sunny day lets above a hilltop is deeper and smiling and while we stop to admire it, or to catch a nice promise in the light breeze that wanders. the ripple of thawing streamlets makes nice music in our ears. as they hasten streamward bearing off a Winter which has been. and leaving instead the de- light that is Spring. There is no better season on a farm than Spring. There may be as good, but not to the like of James and many a one, though in all there is much that is so easy to commend. So March in spite of the short-comings is eagerly welcomed.

It arrived at Alderlea, neither like a lamb nor a lion, but in a brooding, sullen spirit which in- clined those of us who watched its coming to expect the worst. Snow is falling thickly now and a wind which of late has known no other direction than north, nor'cast, was again heaping drifts higher about the yards. We struggled through this second storm of the week, when we came a few minutes ago, James and I from the house across the lane.

O O On such a night as this one when grand-daughter herself is sno\v- bound, we like to come there to see hcr at play in the happy period which precedes her retiring. it is entertaining to watch her, and also to join in her interests.

(By Uncle Joe)

THE GUIDING LIGHT

‘This tale is supposed to have hap- pener‘. about one hundred years ago. and recently was brought to the attention of the writer by s. rela- tive of the person who saw the Guiding Light.

The names‘ of two brothers pear in this story, and they are not fictitious names, either. The brothers, Robert and Dunc-in Matheson, lived in Queen's County: Robert living at Bonshaw. and Duncan was a resident of South Melville.

Shortly after sundown on a cer- (Rlll night in October, Robert hitched up the old gray mare and set out to visit his brother, who was sick. The night being pica- sanlly warm for the time of year, Robert permitted the mare to amblc along at her own stride while he enjoyed the wayside scenery, which stood out clearly under. the light of a newly risen full moon.

As the buggy rattled along over the rough stony road, its lone occu- pant caught. the g/lanccs of horses. sheep and cattle as they paused in their grazing to lift inquiring eyes in thc direction of the noisy vch- icle» From the near-by bushes came the eerie hoot of an owl, while from the depths of the forest the barking of wild foxes punctuated the still- ness oi‘ the night air.

O O O

Suddenly the wind lifted its volca- and set the half-dead leaves a-shivering on their branches. Then a large dark cloud drifted out of nowhere, placed itself directly in the path of the moon and quickly obscured that planet from view. In the space of minutes the whole scene presented an entirely new picture.

Nu longer could Robert Matheson see thc fertile plains with their domestic animals quietly feeding by the roadside; no longer could he see the little brook that threaded its way across country; no longer could he see thc faithful animal

8p-

the pitch-black highway.

But still the rustling of the autumn leaves and the sighlng of the wind in the tree tops could be hcarri. The dismal hooting of a pack of owls grew_ louder and loutlrr. while the bcasis of the for- est. cried eerily as if some dread- ful txcnt were about to happen. Evc-n (he driver himself felt strangely uneasy. a feeling which he could not put into words, though he was a man of courage who had faced more than one hec- tic arivcnturc.

Robert Matheson was just in the act of lighting his pipe. the reins lying idly across the dashboard, when the mare shied dangerously neat (hr.- gutter, causing the buggy to lurch so that its occupant near- ly “a: thrown out.

Quukly he recovered the loose reins, brought thc frightened beast to its proper place on the road and gave thc contrary animal a few cuts of the whip just to remind it that he still was in control of the situa- tlon—or was he?

I O i

Some distance behind, a light blinked its eye and then all was dark ns before. Puzlled, the driv- er sat rigid and cxpcciant. Events had taken on such a new twist that anything might. happen at any mo- n‘l"i1l—¥1l1d happen it did.

Now the light blinked its eye a ‘ time, snd—wonder of won- dcrsr-lt was right in'front of Carrie's nose. The mare snorted and tossed her head high in .the air, WiIiiC her hind feet lashed out viciously. striking the front axles of the carriage with such violence. almost. as to cause it to break dnsvn.

By the time Robert got things ,undcr control. the light was burn- lng as brightly as a lantern and moving slowly ahead, right in‘ the center of the road.

As suddenly as it had sprung up. the wind died down: the whisper- ing leaves whispered no longer. Even thc owls and _the wild sni- mals became strangely silent; and gradually the blackness melted into a soft semi-twilight. And silently Robert Matheson rode the buggy. his mind full of strange thoughts.

led the way. and when the driver turned off from the Green Road it still was in the van. On and on they travelled till the lane leading to the brother's home was reached. the mysterious light always leading the way.

When within a few hundred yards of Duncan Mathesons house, the light left the lane and entered a bedroom window on the lower floor, facing the road. Robert followed its course with a steady, unerring eye. There never would be any mistaking that final act of the mys- terious beacon.

When he drove into the farm- yard he was greeted by one of the family, who informed him that his brother had passed away about half an hour before his arrival.
