So well they ‘are not willing to vleave mother and her cooking. The two girls mar- ried soon after leaving college and they chose fine sensible, well-educated young men, but was it easy to get them out of the house? I Ihould say not. They never would have gone if I had not kept moving into smaller and smaller apartments. " they can't come home because there is no room for them they have bottled down to n. salutary routine of cooking and housekeeping and babv-rearlns- Now the problem fa the boy. m» is now 20. Won't go to school. Won't work. Hates the slightest physical or mental exertion. Sits at home and does nothing but play solitaire and read newspapers and de. tectivo stories and smoke. How can I get him on his way out of rm nest in a manner beneficial to him? t 1-1, B_ Answer: Get the boy a Job and tell him that henceforth he is his own m - ticket, and that if he want-a to eat he will have to work. Then go y, live for the time being in one room in a hotel so there wl!l be no place for him. Evidently he is one of the; birds that. will never leave the warm home nest ofghls own accord. He will not only have to be pushed out ofit, but you will have to destroy the nest so he cannot return to it. There la 1w problem that parents have to me that is more diflicult thanthat of what to do with their lazy, purposeless children who-settle down on mother and father to be supported and who refuse to main the slightest eflort to provide for themselves. It is a. problem so com. pllcated with a false idea of parental duty and so mixed up with maudlin affection that most fathers and mothers lack the nerve and backbone to solve it 1n the only rational way. Which is by turning the ydungsters out, on their own and locking the door behind them. But few parents have the hnrdihood m apply such a drastic remedy, although they know itis the only cure. They can't bear to think that Mamie may be having to cook her a poor meal over n gas Jet or Sammie may have no nice comfortable bed to sleep in, so they let Mamie and Sammie sit around idle year after year with nothing m do but to plgy golf or pool or follow some sort of temperamental occupation which brings in no pay envelope. N1 of us know dozens of cases like these. We know plenty of homes in which there are husky young men and women with Plenty of lnteuig. once and plenty of energy in amusing themselves, who positively [Qfugg to leave the home nest long years after they should have been out of it and about their own business. Sometimes they stay until thy are old bird; themselves and father and mother have to scratch around and feed them as long as they live and die wondering what will become of poor mind“. aged Sally and Jimmy. ' This tenderness on the parents’ part that encourages normally neg. thy and sensible youngsters in a. perpetual babyhood does as much l1; _. as any other one thing in the world. It ruins its thousands of men n," women who should be braced up instead of coddlcd and who oniy some , ‘ling necessity to make them do their duty in the world. it is the knowledge that there is always home-to stay in and three squue meals a. day that is responsible for nine-tenths of the no-accouut loafers that encumber the earth. It is the boys and girls who know that they can always g0 back liolue and be taken care of who a.re ‘the qultters and shirkers, who throw up a Job the minute it. gets to be hard sledding nnd there are disagreeable bosses to be contended with. The boys and girls who have no one but themselves to depend on, nowhere to go but the room their labor pays for, nothing to eat but what they earn, are the oncs who stick to their work and put their hearts and backs in it until they win out. to success. So the parents who are afflicted with parasitic children who refuse to take an education or hold on any job, do their youngsters the greatest kindness they can possibly perform when they follow the example of the birds and push them out of the home nest and make them try their owl Winll- DOROTHY DIX. I I I I I I Dear Miss Dix-I have been married twice and am middle-aged. but look younger than I am and have always gone with those younger than myself. One of these young people is my sister's husband. I am var! much in love with him and he with ma and he wants to marry me. Ml sister knows nothing of this affair. Shall I consider her feelings or shulll seize my first real happiness while I urn still young? S. o. i -. Answer: . I do not know how you could expect to be happy after you had dfllll such a dastardly deed as to take your sister's husband away from her. li is a cruel and heartless enough thing to break up any woman's home, hill the deed seems particularly unforgivnblo when it la. your ulster’; homl you wreck and whose life you shatter. ' Even savages have a sense of family loyalty and recognize that thfl owe something to the blood tie. You have been married twice and twice divorced. Surely those el- perienceo should have taught you something about marriage and mell- You have been dull indeed if you have not observed that a young mull" who is so weak that he lets a middle-aged woman tave him away from his wife is poor husband material. He is easily tempted and any womnll who wants him can have him by using a few flatter-lea and cajoleries. H! ils a poor matrimonial bet and you would lose hlm as easily as you W011 him. Again you must have observed that the puddle-aged woman W!" thinks that she still looks like a flapper befools only herself. ‘Nor is hi! lot a happy one if she marries a man much younger than herself been“! she has to keep up a synthetic girlhood that is about the most weal-int thing on earth.

So my advice to you fa to forget your middle-aged infatuation i“ this boy and instead of philanderlng with him send him back to do h" duty to his wifc.
