The yVidowed Man or Woman Who Goeato Live

With; the Children Upsets the Domestic Hap-

‘ piness of the Family and Loses the Peaceful Independence Which is the Rightful - Heritage of the Old

Every day I get letters from old men and women telling me that they have lost their wives or their husbands and that their children want them to break up their homes and come and live with them, and asking me whether they shall do it or not.

To which I unhesitatingly reply N0. NO. A thousand times NO. Don't do it. . Stay in your own place. Bing to to your own home as to your last rock of refuge, the last bit of pews and happiness that is left you in this world. Don't break up your home and go to live with your children unless it is an ab- solute ﬁnancial ecessit , unless you are dependent upon them and there la no other way in which they can possibly provide for your support.

Whcnpfliother or father is widowed, it seems the - p ‘ natural and appropriate thing to their dutiful and aﬂcctlonme children to urge than: to break up their homes and come and live with them. They can't bear to think of mother alone in that blg house, so lonely and forlorn, with father gone. Besides, she has worked so hard all chess years, rising a family and coo" _ and scrubbing and cleaning and dusting, that ll. is time aha rsatedlacmo, and they want. her to come and live with them and just fold her hands and do nothing the balance of her life. l

Aafor father, how on earth could l-lc manage to get along alone without motheras-bd no one to look after him and see that he got the proper food and up his throat when he went out and took the medicine for his rheumatism? Itfmakes his children's heart bleed to think how desciate and neglected he would be with nobody but a hired housekeeper to take cal-e of him. so they insist upon his selling the old place and coming to live with them.

. But thii gesture of welcome, inada by the children inail good will and tendeibeii and sympathy, almost invariably ends in disaster to all conoemed, and particularly does it end in disaster to the old. And this u‘ not because there is anything wrong with either the children or the parents, but simply human nature is what it is.

To begin with, the lnduotlo of father or mother into their children's home lnenaces the peace of the home because it inevitably starts friction. The man and woman who have ruled their own home for forty years can never play second fiddle in anybody else's home, especially their children's.

They feel they have a perfect right. to boss Mary's home, or John's home. too, and Mom's husband and John's wife resent this, and Mary and Tom and John and Susan have words about it that lead to the divorce courts oftcnel‘ than to any other road, as statistics amply show. .

‘Ihcn there is the never-ending strife between father or mother and the children, tho bitter conﬂict between the old generation and the new. The traditional picture of grandfather or grandmother showed a placid and ser- ene old~man or woman with their gra ndchildren sitting reverently at their feet listening to words of wisdom.

In reality the grandparents and the grandchildren are in a" perpetual ﬁght. ormdma is always criticizing everything about the girls from their lipstick ‘and rouge to the length of their skirts and saying that no respectable girl used ism and showed her legs in her day and what on earth their mother iahthinklng about. to let them run around at nights the say they do, she doesn't know, and they needn't say that she didn't warn them when they comets tome-bad end. , - .

{Thafresultppis a merry little family war that the old unintentionally pre- clplthtc. , Flfhey are not to blame, because they can't- help doing as they do. igtlloy have the vanity of age and that makes all old people think that thtir nmopirlibns are infallible andt hat wisdom will perish wlththem. And for anotphcrthing they can't stun-l by and see those they love going, as they think. vodestructionwlthout lifting a lland to try to save them.

Y ‘ . nut if the old complicate life for their children when they go to live wltn- them, thsylruin it for themselves. For when they give up th sir own homes, tbiy ilvs up their ' * , ndence, they give llp their identity, they give up their place in the sun. In their own homes they were rulers and could order thlngt as they liked. in their children's home they are guests who must c-ol -

forth ‘their-tastes and habits to other people's.

p t 1n their old homo towns they were people of importance with their olvn friends. but when they go to live with their children they are only Mary or dohrfs‘ mother or father. And they are only there on sufferance. Nothing lg more pitiful than the loneliness of old people who have been uprooted from all of their associations and transplanted to some distant place where there is not one person tn whom they can say "Do you remember," and who nova no companionship except that of strange young people with whom they have acthupig ‘in common.

DRIVING AS A GAME

has discovered.

“How slowly will this car run?"

The question in itself was startling. but coming from a neighbor lad oi l8 who, as l watched him drive past the house seemed interested only in speed, it. seemed doubly out of the ordinary-

“How slow can you make it I0 l" high speed without having it, buck all over the road?" he elaborated the question while I was tryiﬂs t0 W" cover myself.

"I don't know." I admitted, "I 119V" tried. Whatever made you think of that question?" _

“Oh, it's a game we're allplayine these days. That's the trouble with

you older people-you think what you .

call the ‘younger generation’ 1s in- terested only ln seeing how fast tnmsc will go." '

“Don't lecture me," I cut in, "as a matter of fact, I'm one of the young- er generation's most staunch defend- ers. Let's get on with this game. I'd like i0 learn ll."

"Well, it's simple enough." remark- ed my instructor. "All you have to do is see how slow the car will run in high gear and then see if you can pick it up to a speed of about 20 miles an hour without making it jerk or buck." ‘

And then, by way o! an after- thought- '

"It shows you whether you're s. bum driver or not."

With that thought running around my head, I tried to see how slowly I could travel in high gear. I look my foot of! the accelerator, got my left foot on the clutch pedal and let the car come down to a lower speed.

We still were traveling‘ along about l2 miles an hour when my companion broke out with

"That's all wrong."

"What's all wrong?" I asked pet- ulantly. "l haven't, even started yet."

"Sure you have. We're down to l2 miles an hour and you are still out in the middle o! the road. When you slow down you ought to be over near the curb. That guy behind 5m doesn't want to play the same game. He's in a hurry."

If somewhat vigorously spoken, the words were true and they reﬂected the fact that some of these young drivers actually do more thinking than their elders. So, learning this rule, I pulled over to the curb and started again.

"You're still wrong." he commented.

This time, I was actually irritated.

“What's wrong this tlnle?" I asked.

"Well, you're riding the clutch. Th“ "Wins You're afraid and are. ready to throw out the clutch and shift gears and we're still moving B10118 at l0 miles an hour.’ This car'll pull along all right at _n. lot lower speed but you see you've never really tried it." '

Dutifully, I took my foot away from ‘

the clutch and let the car coma down to three miles an hour. I could not get. over the idea, though, that I would need to shift gears, ps0 kept the foot moving nervously in the direction of the clutch. We had gone but a short distance at this walking speed when I automatically shifted into second gears and start/ed to pick up speed.

"Why didn't you pick up again in high?" I was asked.

“I didn't want to slip the clutch," I replied. ,

"You wouldn't have had to if you'd been as good a driver as you ought to be and could be with n little practice. It really makes you a good driver, this business of learning to handle the controls delicately. Besides, ll, really ls a lot of fun, but most people make driving a business."

I'm practicing in my spare mom- ents, to show that I agreh.
