This piece p" marketing, with its attendant pmcern to James— and naturally Lo his woman-kind, was carried out. lvlthout incident to distress the head of the house or mar the occa- yon, for anyone. “They just might not pass inspection, Ellen" James paid, as we watched the truck which bore them outward from the quiet of Alderlee thi!

The only shade of annoyance appeared early when the sun had scarcely sent its beams carthward and I was still follc-ufing James confidently along a, lovely path in dreamland. Then it was that the truck manned by the men from the house on the hill, lumbered loudly up the driveway rather rudely interrupting my nicest fan- cles and causing James to lrme me at rt bound. 'l‘here was then the usual hustle that attends the loading of potatoes here, and num- erous cups of coffee or tea were dispensed through the morning to take away the chill of this April day. "Wash?"

Tee Many Mothers Neglect Welfare 0f Children With Their “llen'ts"

by taking young folks lnto our home, from infants e. few months old to grown boys lust out. of high school. I encourage the friendship of young people and the res it is that we are never without some of our kids‘ being around.

Many parents complain that their children are i never at home. When this happens, it is because 1 the parents did not. make home life so pleasant I that the children wanted to stay there and to ‘ bring their friends with them. I know from my , own experience that youngsters want to be at] home just as much as their parents want. them there, but parents are not at. home any more, no the children wander. .

folks in this old world. and we wouldn't. have so much juvenile de- linquency if parents would make them feel that they are welcome at home and do something to entertain and amuse them.

AUNME BY PROXY

ANSWER: I am with you a. hundred per cent, Auntie, on your theory that children would like to stay at. home if their parents made their homes attractive, instead of being the dullest spots they know and , from which they instinctively flee.

NBGLIGENT MOTHER.

There are plenty of women who are never at home when their children come from school. I have known mothers to actually lock the doors so the children couldn't get into the house, even when it was raining, and they had to go to Tommy's or Sally's for shelter, I have known mothers who never let their children play in the house because they mussed up things; who never let. their youngsters eat between meals; and whose watch word was DON'T. .

It ls homes like these ‘that send children to find their amusements and companionship on the streets. Children are naturally home-loving. They like their own things, their own surroundings and parents who are co-operatlve and who think up interesting things for them to do, and they would rather stay at home if only they were made welcome in t.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have a daughter, l9 years old, who was on- gaged to a fine young man five years her senior. They wanted to be married and. had all of their arrangements made, but. I just couldn't. ‘bear to have her leave, so I begged and pleaded with her to break with him. She refused to do so and in desperation I told her that. if she married him I would commit suicide.

0f course, I didn't intend to do it, but I scared her so that she did break off her engagement. But it has made both her and the young mun very unhappy because he thinks that she has played fast and loose with him. I am afraid she will lose him entirely. and I didn't want her to do that because he is quite well-off and could give her o beau- tiful home.

What can I do about it, for I feel that I have ruined my daugh- ter's life?

POSSBSSIVE

ANSWER: The only honest thing you can do is to go to the young man and tell him exactly what you have done. If he believes you. he may forgive you and go back to your daughter. But you have certain- ly succeeded in rubbing the bloom off the rose,

Possessive mothers, who can't’. bear to give up their children or lei them have any life of their own, are among the most heartless crim- lnals in the world, for they do not hesitate to sacrifice their children to themselves. All of us know dreary old bachelors whose mothers have kept them tied to their apron strings so tightly that they have never even had a girl friend. or any of the pleasures and comradeshlp that bplong to their time of life. l

And we know many and many a poor old maid whom Mother kept from marrying when she was pretty and young and who has spent her life supporting Mother, instead of having a good husband to sup. port er.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Should the members of a fnmlly givcl

showers to a girl who is about to be married? DOUFITUL.

ANSWER: No. It ls exceedingly bed taste because it looks too

pity. I hope the fates will spare

ONLY THINK THEY ADMIIIE COMPLETELY HONEST GIRL

A young New York artist, in o recent tirade against the "modern girl," laid men want honesty in a. woman “first and foremost."

That may be what they think they want. But a complclcLv hon- est woman would never gel. a man to the altar. much less hold on to him afterward, says n woman col- umnist. ‘

Women are such practical, cal- culating creatures that 1t they were completely nenest with men about their motives and reactions it would scare the men to death.

A girl takes s long look in hi‘ mirror one day and decides it le time for her to get a husband. From the moment that decision is made, every man she meet: la po- tential husband material. ‘\

With e. calculating eye she picks the man she wants and then sets out to make him fall in love with her. If she were honest with the mun at this point. about her in- tentions and her reasons for want- ing to get married, he would run s mile.

And so it goes-from the first meeting to the silver wedding sn- nrversary and beyond. Women don't give men honesty, because they are intuitively wl-se enough to know that isn't what men want from women. And they know that. if they don't give men what they want, the men will find other women who will.

Men want a woman to let. them hold on to an idealized picture of her. They want women who can make themselves look better than they are_ They want a woman Io be a "woman," not an individual- but a, woman who reacts l-n tLe vuays a woman is supposed lo r-t-

What the artist really meant la that men want. s girl to give the impression of‘ being completely honest. They want her to be a good actress to make her play net- ing seem real.

But they aren't yet ready hr honesty in women, not in 1947. Any woman who doubts this might just try being completely honest with a man for a. week -lf she can afford to lose him.
