Jamie was spending a few days of his holidays w.in us at Alder- lea. away from the mounting re- sponsibilities of his home and much enjoying the change which was giving him leisure to indulge in those items of it which are us- lually dear to such lads. with granddaughter and her :father he was able to share sleigh rides along the fields at the sea- sonal haulings and it was one of these that the younger farmer took time out to set traps with him on a certain wily lieast's trail. It was he too, doubtless recalling those things which intrigued his cum fancy in the boyish years, who set up a target on a hillside against which the masculine mem- iliers of the family were able to practice their marksmanship with I. rifle.

No more dancing for Buzz - a long life if he were careful. if he took things easy and lived what the doctor called "a normal life" death within a few months if he kept Oil. Just before Christmas that year Mary Sue bore twins. Buzz, look- ing down at the tiny, crumpled, angry-red faces of his offspring, screwed up his face and said flat- ly. "I dont like 'em'." Celia, having been brought up by an adoring "old maid aunt," had not known how to play with other children. Pete and Honey were completely healthy. com- pletely uninhibited.

Now our first serious disagreement has arisen. I would like to take a job Saturday evenings at my pro- fession. which is nursing. and Neil, my liusband, objects. I claim a wife is entitled to one night a neck" for outside interests, otherwise she tends to become stagnant and a hopeless bore. I feel Neil can take care of the baby one night a week, that giving some lime to my profession will help people, and that the, money I earn will be helpful in obtaining some of the "extras" we could Neil claims that. since he works evenings and the week ends are the only time we can all be to- gether. I should prefer to be home then. VVho is right? 1. W. ANSWER: You presented a very fair and com- plete picture of botli sides of your problem. so it almost seems mean of me to come up with a de- cision in favor of your husband. My conclusion that you are better off home is based on Neil's working schedule. Since Saturday is the only night he can be home, for the sake of family unity you should take advantage of it to re- maln with him--not be off on a job. When your baby is older and can be left with a baby-sitter without qualms on your part, you will feel free to take on a nursing assignment. YOU NEEDNIT BECOME STAC-NANT The one argument of yours with which I disagree is the as- sumption that this onc night of working will prevent you from becom- ing stagnant. No wife and mother ever gets into that slump unless she wants to. Our daily lives are so replete with opportunities to observe, to learn. to assimilate, that no one need become dull. By all means meet new people; your little daughter will aid you there. The most fruitful means by which a young mother acquires friends is through sessions in the park or playground where the small Susies and Jimmles are being aired. If you live in a small town lack- lng these facilities, the super-market will usually provide the gather- ing place, but no matter what or where it is, every community has some converging point for baby carriages. Here the mothers gather to exchange not only notes on the latest formulas. or Junior's dental achievements. but also opinions on community projects. local politics and world affairs-much as their men do at various places of busi- ness. . Don't. ever look upon bomemaking as a boring business. If you tackle it with such an attitude. you'll miss the exhilaration of the most exciting job on earth. It has its dull moments. true. but the final achievement of a happy family well fed, well housed and in- telllgently reared is something to work for.

He wants to contiriue going with me without his parents knowing of it. Slmuld I agree. . ANSWER: A miss as possessive as you are at 15 is an oddity. Both you and your boy friend are still children. and in his mother's eyes he certainly isn't old enough to have the freedom you seem to enjoy. His parents are the natural arbiters of his time for' dating and are quite right in not permitting him out whenever he wants to go-especially on school nights. His mother was also right in trying to restrict visitors during his illness. Forcing yourself into a sick room was a foolproof method of incurring her dislike. Your intentions may be good, but your system is all wrong. Stop the clandestine dating. and wait until you're both a little older. The lad's mother may then forget how thoughtless you have been, and welcome you more warmly.

Barton. 51.0. vvVvVm THE DELIRIOUS PATIENT When a patient becomes de- lirious, the family may or my not, consider the condition to be ser- lous. In The American Journal of Psychiatry. Dr. M. Levin makes It D193 to Stop looking Upon delirium as something esoteric (for train- ed psychiatrists only). He believes that delirium is probably still the commonest of all mental symp- toms. it appears often in infec- tions and hence appears frequently in general hospiials. Every delir- ious patient is dlsorientated (con- fused), In addition. he is apt to be dull. sluggish. restless. inattentive fearful, excited and disturbed by iiightmare-like fancies and halluc- inations. "It is important to note that the symptoms may shift rap- idly and may even go away for a time so that clear or lucid inter- vals are common." symptoms are often worse at night, disturbing sleep. These symptoms of delirium are often, but not alwavs, due to 5 poisoning of the blood, clearing up when the condition causing the poisoning (toxemia) is corrected. Dr. Levin states that in the Wiifdlng 0!! and cure of infections by our physicians we may,expect to see more and more cases of de- lirium in older people. Another point brought out by Dr. Levin is that the idea that the abrupt withdrawal of drugs and especially alcohol brings on delir- ium or helps to cause delirium is not true. in delirium caused by drugs it is advisable to discontinue the. drug abruptly and completely. This will come as a surprise to addicts and some physicians 3150, It is also unwise to use in treat- ment any drug that in itself can cause delirium. Dr. Levin believes that the use of bromides and the barbiturates in delirium is fool. hardy and that paraldehyde (a quletlng drug) is the only drug to use in such cases. Other psychfa. trlsts may not agree with this view. In his book. "Fundamentals of Psychiatry." Dr. Edward A. St.reck- er. professor of psychiatry. Univer- slty of Pennsyvania School of Medicine. outlines the treatment of delirium. "In general. protection of the patient, food. rest, increased fluid intake and removal of toxins (poi- sons) and wastes, paraldehyde as above mentioned. high vitamin and high starch diet (the intra- venous use of 50 per cent glucose). Large quantities of orange Juice should be given." Delirious patients should be watched carefully and malingering (acting delirious) should be kept in mind. The malingerer, although he will throw himself around. will be careful not to hurt himself. MT. MELLICK WJ.
