I am frantic to step out, When we stay at home I don't believe wc exchange two words, not that We are angry, but he is the moody type and enjoys quiet. New the opportunity presents itself to go with another man. I want to play square, but if I have to make my own dates to get dances, why should I be married? I FRANTIC HONEST WIFE ANSWER: What did you get married for? If you consider dancing the chief felicity in life, you should have got a job as a taxi dancer and not signed up for a life {contract as a wife. Llyuis always cripples the person it attacks. Fur from it. Each year,- lthotisnnds of people may have l‘.l §zn such mild form that they never] ‘recognize it. “The disease seems lrarcly to hit anyone so severely ,tliat he becomes paralyzed. Even when paralysis does happen. it doesn't mean that he will be left crippled or handicapped." Forty to 6O per cent of the child- ren or adults who are attacked‘ by polio so that the disease can he recognized, will recover completely or almost completely without any; evidence of paralysis. Another 25 to 30 per cent will recover with only a mild degree of paralysis. There will be so little left of the paralysis symptoms that they can carry on ordinary activities and live pretty much as they had planned t 0. "Only 15 to 25 per cent will be left more or less severely handi- capped — unable to use some musc- les. But rehabilitation and special devices can do wonders with them." The pamphlet illustrates the six early symptcrris and signs by which polio may be recognized. They are illustrations of children suffering vrith seven different symptoms; headache. lore throat. nausea. slight fever. fatigue or tiredness. lisziessness. pain or stiffness in muscles. I believe it would be a good iri- vest-ment for parents and teachers to send twenty cents (Z00) to Pub- lic Affairs Committee, Inc, fl east 38th Street. New York l6, N.

He says this does not matter to him as he neither likes nor wants children, but it matters greiitlyi to mo because he is an only’ son, the last of a fine line that has had many members of outstanding abilit_v~\vriters, preachers, orators, jurists, way back to Colonial days. I have begged him to give this woman up, but it has only caused a coldness between us which breaks my heart as we have always been so close to each other. My dearest wish for years has been to see him happily married and to hold my grandson in my arms before I dic. Am I wrong in opposing this match? What attitude shall I take toward the girl? ‘ A WORRIED MOTHER ANSWER: It is easy to see why you feel it almost a'sacred duty for your son to pass on the torch of life that has glowed so brightly in your family, but after you had once expressed your feelings about it to your son, that should have ended the matter, and you should accept his point, of view without further argumcnL I do not think that parents are justified in trying to break off their children's love affairs except in the case of bad morals or rotten character or drunkenness or shiftlessness, something fundamental that would be bound to wreck any marriage. It is the individual boy or girl who has to live with the one he or she marries, and it is more important that he or she should be pleased than that the parents are. Moreover, husbands and wives are a matter of taste and the very qualities that would appeal to son or daughter might be the very oncs that would get. on the nerves of father and mother. Evidently this is the case in this instance. You love children You long to have your grandchildren about your knee. Your son lack‘; the paternal instinct and doesn't want to be bothered with them Many men feel that way about children. lflliiny who hnvc- children reggm and are jealous of them. They vvnrt th~ ----.,":n of their wives In o way they want the babying and coddling bestowed on men; that their wives would give the children if tiiey nail any. They want their wives to keep young and pretty and be always ready to 5m out with them, and want the money to spend on themselves that ohifi dren would cost. As for the way you should treat your son's wife, ihcre is only one Forget your disappointment about the babies and Make a virtue of nc-ccssitv, and as be cordial to her.

Appreciative eyes gather in clandclions catching the new gold of the year in a shelter- ed nook. buticrcups graceful by a brook-side, daisies silvering a hay field, wild roses bright and gay along a forgotten hedge row. These please tlic cyc of the be- holder, and lift thought to a loft- icr plane. o o o ’ While with James, our thoughts and words centre on the crops. the herds and flocks in ihe meadows we pass. and the intriguing situa- tions of the farm buildings. on an outing which chances to take us a distance and into strange scenes, we find eyes lingering as wcll on the lawns and yards, which have a way of displaying some of the characteristics of their owners. We admire much those that are neat and orderly. bounded or oth- erwise adorned with flowers anti shrubs. and trees. enhancing the surroundings and making of the place an attractive home. I O U It is inspiring as well, to come upon plants blossoming in less imposing and unexpected places. a wisp of’ a lawn gay with bloom in front of a tiny cottage. proclaim- ing at once the pride of ownership in the dwelling and the love and content that dwells therein. a o o We remember now that on a re- ccnt outing we were disappoint- cci when passing a snug dwelling to find no blossom on lawn or yard to wave us arid the other passers- by a greeting, and we wondered "now what sort of a woman lives there?" And then against a win- dow we caught a flash of magnif- icent bloom, pink and scarlet ger- aniums against the panes. Arid we knew at once she was a nice lady. likely one who had been begging for a fence to protect any outdoor plantings and must possess her- self in patience until next year or a next, grants her farmer time and inclination to further her hopes and dreams. O I O "Flowers", I woman confided to us iri the long ago, carressing a handful of bloom from an old gar- den, "l love them! “But", she low- ered her voice u though she fear- ed to hear the adminion herself of one lbs loved, "he doesn't like me to buy as much u a package of reed — says its wasting the money that should go towards other things. But ii package or two wouldn't make much difference, Ellen", she nid wistfully. “Not to the budget", we milled, but rc- membcred what a vast difference it would make to her, in contrib- uting to her happiness and con- .. tent. too ‘Tlowers. Ellen", l pretty young matron once remarked u we stooped to admire a bed lovely with tagetes, and voilets that are miniatures of pansles. and ribbon- grass and southernwood and sweet ha)’. and calendulas that have a nice way of reseeding, and many another old plant and flower in a beautiful assemblage. "1 hate thm! Yes". she repeated with surpris- ing eznphasis. "I hate them! I can't tell you why. but I've always been like that -- l have no use for the thingsl" It wu no great Iurpriu to find that her married life was n despair from beginning to end, heaped with many a disappoint- rnent in friends and family. Not that we would have a liking of flowers a requisite of l happy married life, and yet we believe that she who can find no beauty in the heart of a rose. will find little joy in apetai-‘skin babe.
