Changes in Family Life, But There is Still

Love and Ties That ind the Members Together

A group of ‘eminent sociologists are trying ic find out what Ls causing the breaking up of family life as it used to exist. They say that the old- i fashioned home, in which devoted parents and dutiful children, lovin! brothers and sisters formed a close-knit iam- ily circie is 8s extinct as the dodo. That if

and mother and children gathered about the = lamp to spend a happy evening together you could sell it to any museum for a curiosity. l And they want to know why this is thus. i

Many explanations may be offered for the decline and fall-off of home life. One a that a home feeling has necessarily to bi- built about one‘s abiding place, and when we gave up living permanently in houses and began migrating from ﬂat to flat we broke the tie that bound us to any one spot.

I} ‘ old home for a couple of years we couldn't g0 back to 1y, if we wanted to,

, because it has been torn down and a garage or filing station erected where i once our infant feet trod. ,

It isnt the fault of the young that they are not sentimental about home. On the contrary, they are actually maudlin over the subject, as i5 Pmved by the fact that almost the ﬁrst thing the new rich buy is some- body elses ancestral home, and that almost any old place that locks as 1f it dated back to the Rutherford B. Hayes Administration will fetch twice what it is worth.

Another reason for the decline in family life is that there is so much more gayety now than there was formerly. 1n {no gogd old days a fannly stayed at home in the evenings and listened to somebody read aloud or Play on the melodeon because there wns nowiiere to get and nothing else to do. There were no cheap amusements. No automobile chrmiped at, the ‘ curb eager for a spin over a good mad. No roadhouses, no movies, no taxi klances, no hotdog stands, none of the thousahd-and-one inexpensive

diversions that tempt old and young, rich and poor, away from home, which, after all, if we are honest €il011gh to admit, n’ does ga dull and monotonous and on the nerves‘ of even the most domestic,

But after a.l, isn't this wailing over the breaking up oi the fajnily p, little premature grief? For the catastrophe hasn't happened yet. The famiy circle may have lost its original shape and become a little bent and lopsided, but it hasn't been broken. Blood ls still thicker ma“ “ma; Brothers and sisters have stood shoulder to shoulder during the depression and divided their last penny with each other. Buys and, girls who coll their parents "the old man" and ‘the old woiiiail“, and ﬂout their author- ity and mock their opinions, sacrifice their desires for love and marriage and homes of their own in order to support their fathers and mothers,

And parents never turn a deaf ear to their children's cry for help.

No matter how bent the back it can always lake ; on the burden of the son or daughter inltrouble. And so the elol-mj mm. 1 il_v ilc still holds, no matter how widely a, family scatters.

‘ Furthermore, we mustremember before we get out the tear jug. lhn; while family life can be the most beautiful thing in the world, it can also be the most hideous and cruel. There were homes that were prisons and in which every joy and hope and ambition was crushed out of the inmates. There were parents who were grinding tyrants and who ruined the lives l of their children by forcing them to do things they were not ﬁtted to do, laud ivlio doomed tlicm to loneliness and heartbreak by preventing them from marrying those they loved. To bemoan the passing of such homes (lilCi to bewail the breaking up of such families is an incongruous as it would be to grieve over the fall of the‘ Bastille or the abolisliment of slav- , cry. . Not nljioiiies are places of peace and rest. Not all parents are wise ,iint! tender and just.

WHAT'S NEWS IN FURNITURE.

Modem and eighteenth century styles share the popular approval in furniture this season. Early American, French, colonial and early English are also in the pic- Lure.

Mahogany is the rriost fashionable wood’ for it is the traditional wood of the Chippendalle-Hepplewhite- Sheraton-Adam quartet. Walnut comes next. And as to finishes, the furniture market seems to have broken out into a rash of "blonds" creations.
