DOROTHY DIX SAYS- Bringing Up Daughter

atl but ii iect Ellrllesolllf Wlieilgeli

Most Mothers strive to give their daughters an education. but dew mothers make any effort to teach their Ballya and Mamies how to live. They seem to think that a knowledge of how to conduct. them- selves and make the most of their opportunities will come by Nature- qs Dogberry thought reading and writing did, so they dont bother to ~try to teach their girls anything except \vhat used to be called ‘Book larning."

iliotbere Stress Training Fer

Never was there a greater mistake, for while the occasional girl genius rates the higher educa- tion, what the average girl needs is to be taught how to make the most of herself and the life she is destined to lead, and that basic fact most mothers entirely ignore. You would assume from Mother's attitude towards her daughters that they were all going to marry millionaires who would coddle and spoil them, so there was no use in Sally and Mamie learning how to do any practical work, or acquiring any technique for getting along with a tempera- mental husband. r m m L h h“ . om Oi.‘ 8 messes B C!‘ C ' n majrtseemmsii bald tlllelllalllvlesllabut it is only too true that the ‘yen us? it; egarents are visited on their children and the cherished Qlllﬁghtci-s have to pay a cruel price for their mothers never having ‘has? iihixllagollulg most of the marriages that end in divorce are the result- of mothers never having taught their daughters how u, be wive; They never have drilled Mamie and Susie in the tech- nique of rubbing their husbands‘ fur the right WB-Y- TllBY dlllll» "B" know how to cook.

y HUSBANDS DISCONTBNTED ‘l And so when the young husband ceases to be a. great lover and becomes just a. provider, and when he sits clown to meals that would give an ostrich stomachsuicers and sees his salary going ‘into the garbage can, the domesticﬂbrapjls start that end in the wreck of another heme. ' u

Any-God help them-the marriages that break so many hear.s because Mother never has taught her beloved daughter anything about men or how to pick out a. husband, or even to analyze her own feelings! 1 get hundreds of letters from girls who tell me that they think that they are in love, but they are not certain. Or that they are going to marry a drunkard, or a roue, of a necr-do-Wﬂll. bu?» W110 says he will reform.

Forewarned is forcarmed, and many a marriage that has dragged "an unsophisticated girl down into the gutter with a drunken husband would have been prevented if only her mother had taught her, from her cradle up, to look with scorn on weaklings and derelicts.

And the poor, little, ignorant, foolish girl-children who stumble into the pit before they are old enough and wise enough to realize their danger. what sorrow, what shame for them and their families

COUNSELS MATURE WOMEN TO GIVE UP GIR-LISH WAYS

The woman of 80 or ovbrwho is still clinging to her girlisrs ways should say "goodbye" to the follow- ing immediately:

Referring to herself and her contemporaries as “girls? Bragging that she can't find her way around a kitchen.

Wearing shorts to do her mar- keting.

Using the "helpless little me” routine.

Going in for the “careless” look in dress or hair style.

Talking about herself all the time, and excepting other people to find the subject fascinating. Thinking it cute to be always late for appointments.

Thinking that an expressiunless face denotes a. certain degree of sophistication.

Being coy with men.

Picking her dress styles from the teen-age magazines.

Putting on make-up in public. Looking at other women as though they are rivals, rather than potential friends or at least sisters under the slain.

Refusing to accept responsibility. Rushing around and being al- ways in a dither instead of culti- vating a calm, poised manner.

DTA KNOW HIM? HES A HUSBAND

He eats his morning meal silent.- ly, with a newspaper in front of his face.

He brands all gossip as absurd.

but always hears a choice bit through to the end before striking that noble attitude. He never says, “Where did I put so-and-so, I wonder?" when he is hunting for a lost article. It's al- ways, "Where did you put this or that?"

I-Ie hates to eat out.

He‘has a condescending attitude toward any project undertaken by a bunch of women.

He can't be nagged or argued out

WAY TO ACHIEVE YOUTHFUL WALK

Many a woman who is success- ful in hiding her age every other way advertises it by the way she walks.

Usually such s walk is active from the knees down. This walk is choppy. steps are mincing, legs are busy and feet are noisy.

A swinging stride from the hip sockets which keeps legs moving rhythmically and redistributes Weight evenly from foot to foot looks more youthful because it helps to create the impression of a dynamic walk.

The way to achieve this longer- legged strides is to swing into it. Without shoes that ensure an easy- swinging walk, however, you'll be right back in your inlncing steps.

Shoes worn for easy, graceful walking should be large enough for toe-spread. low-heeled enough for ground grip.

With the advent of exaggerated- ly high heels more and more wom- en are carrying their stilted slip- pers in their handbags and are making s. switch from ground- grlpping wedgles to dress-up shoes when the day's travels afoot are ended.

Ellen's Diary jg a Hill lbﬂnl‘! ‘Will

James and his other half were in the city today. Not that he was wt all anxious to make the trip for as he said: “If I stay hbme, Ellen, I might have a half-dozen rows of turnips hood —and I'm thinking if we don't get a move on, they'll

' soon be ahead of us, as it is." In-

deed it was only the fact that ex- tras in the way of blades for the knives of the mower as weii as guards to replace those more worn, were needed before the haying. that drew him thither. Otherwise he would have been well content to whet a hoe to a keen edge and go to the field with our younger farmer. And so adding their wants to a» family shopping list we set out approaching mid-morning for the bus stop at the corner store. At present our car is having some repairs and adjustments done and is "ln garage." If it hadibeen in the yard it is doubtful if is would have been pressed into service, since James would be sure to pre- fer to walk the distance. ' l O I At starting we had plenty of time to stroll there at a leisurely pace though as we continued to meet those with whom we must chat the minutes contrived to slip away fast. before we had even reached the top of the hill. There were those at the sawing at the mill and Mr. S. in the field on the slope, at the time inspecting the catch of turnips in the rows tliere. Some complaints ace to be heard about the plants being slow in ap- peering though at the moment farmers in the vicinity can not de- termine the cause of the delay. James would have willingly been over the fence in no time. ‘down on his knees searching for it, finding a grub or s. seed that had not ger- minated and then forgetful oi our former mission been off briskly to our own field in order to verify any suspicions that he entertained. However he suffered himself to remain on the roadway and pres- ently we ascended the hill on our outward way. I O

Not iniisomely at all, and yet with accelerated heart-beats and as James commented “with a differ- ent spring in your step, Ellen, than when you're going back to some work in the fleldi" At the same time he advised me: "It's best to take it. easy on the first lap, Ei- len —a.ny haste should come to- ward the end of a journey you know!" Very lovely it was on this road of ours this morning — if James noticed the ruts from the recent heavy rains. the sun ther. setting cool shadows on the road- way, upon which we trod. Near us sleek herds of cattle moved K1199- deep in lush pastures and beyond in a delightful scene beautiful be- yond description, fields red-brown and green in pretty contrast and groves and woodlands stretched a- way to near and farther horizons.
