MOTHER URGES DAUGHTER ~ TO STOP BEARING CHILDREN

Motherhood Calls For More Intelligence And Courage Than Do Other Careers

DEAR MISS DIX-I am a you married worn-an and tho mother of

n. dear little baby. I would be pe cctly happy if it were not for the

teachings of my mother that keep me mentally upset. My mother is

an artist. and lives upon such a high spiritual plan-e that things that are

not of an artistic type irritate and bore her. She is dreadfully disap- intcd and hurt because 1 chose to "Just get marrl " instead oi‘ follow- g some ambitious career,

She has taught me that it is s crime to bring a child into the world to suffer, and begs me not to be responsible for another life. But I can- nm, See that it 15 wrong to want to be a mother when my aim is for the

. . . children's welfare. My mother is lovely and I want to respect and obey her. but as a woman I desire to think the right thoughts and do the right deeds. Can you relieve me of any doubt on the subject? MARGARET.

ANSWER-Your mother in entirel wro in her point of view and you are right. T e grea est

career that any woman can follow, the one in i_ _, which she can most fully express herself and in which her achievement can be of most value to the world, is that of wife and mother. It is the career for which Nature intended her, and it is the one in which she is most successful and reaps the greatest reward in happiness.

Also, it is the career that calls for more in- telligence, more talent, more tact and diplomacy. more courage and grit, a higher morale than any other. For the wife and mother must be a. Pooh Bah who is master of all professions and arts and crafts. She must be Llawyer and a doctor, a preacher and a disciplinarian, a cook and a

aclier, a. seamstress and a commissary general, and Heaven knows what else. in order to pull oi! an even average job of wife and mother.

"What! Did he?" Judith stared inoreduously, then burst out laugh- ing. "You marry Otis Frame? 0f course you refused?" _

“Naturally. But keep in mind that Otis would like to get control of Fleetwood, I'm sure that's why he proposed. And maybe he's egging Sidney on to marry you because he knows you own half the farm."

"That's not sol" Judith blazed. "Sidney wouldn't be influenced b Otis-he hates him! I don't know why, but there's something between them. something Sidney won't talk about. Anyway, his wanting to marry me has nothing to do with Otis. He says he would have left home when he finished college if it hadn't been for me. l-le loves me, Anne-he loves me, I tell ycui" Her voice rose shrllly.

Anne, disturbed by the intensity of her sister's outburst, said sooth- lngly. "Well. perhaps you're right. Anyway, let's not talk about it any more now. Linda will be here before ion . Why don't you go and rest a whi e?"

Judith, without a. word, turned and disappeared into a. bedroom.

Gathering up the luncheon dishes, Anne carried them into the kitchen. Asshe washed them, her thoughts were troubled. She was determined to do all in iler power to keep Judith from marrying Sid- ney. Judith, with her beauty, could make a. brilliant marriage. Later, when hleetwocd was making money, she could travel, have an opportun- ity to meet men who nad something real to oller, Sidney had a certain charm, but he was weak and pm"- poseless -— would never amount to anything.

Anne's eyes widened. "How can you say that when he's engaged to Pamela Gordon?"

Linda made an impatient ges- ture. "All she's got is a. pretty face and fawnlike eyes. If you save the sign, Evan would break away from her. Nowadays, engagements don't glelatn much. Good men are worth a

“But I st l love Evan," Anne said ixllllétly. "I didn't realize it fully un- t I heard he was ensflged.“

With warm weather here there is a tendency to cut calories be- yond the safety point.

Remember to round out meals. the government's nutrition services warn. The increasingly p.enti.fu1 vltamine and minei-aLrlch vege- tables and fruits must be suppe- mented by enough energy-produc- lng fOcd5 to prevent vitality sag- glng between one meal and another. This can be done b acdin! a serv- ing of tato sala lo that entic. ing plae cf crisp greens and to- mato, accompanying perhaps a. 5e1- lied veal loaf. Then, too rasp- berry and watermelon salad. mas- querading as dessert, would be more staying if teamed with a tray of graham wafers spread with cream cheese or butler, which are even richer in energy than the starchy foods.

In hot weather breakfasts are apt to be too light. Remember, say the nutritionists, that school-age Johnny and Sail will probably bin-n up more caorles in holiday time, so see that a whollngrain cereal is introduced in scnie form for them as well as for the o'her busy members of me family. ‘This may be done by serving rolled oats, muffins and honey, or u. ready-tc-eat cereal.
