' Martha Lee Say• MOTHER FINDS KEEPING UP WITH CHILDREN HARD

Most mothers have an easier time rearing their children than they do keeping up with them, or, what is better still, one jump -ahead of them.

Mary always has been an exemplary child. Then suddenly Mary is almost a young woman, with all sorts of new ideas. Mother is at a The Tangle LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO THE LITTLE MARQUISE, CARE OF THE SECRET DRAWER, CONTINUED Just now, little Marquise. I do not seem to care if Jack is Jrue to hie or not. He seems a stranger. My brain and heart are numb. I can’t even remember how he looks. Perhaps after a while my heart will ache again and my brain will try to understand, out now I am just a kind of a log in the mill-race of life which is still for a moment because It has rolled up against something which holds it. The mad' waters of consciousness are beginning to swirl about me. however, - and perhaps in a little while I'll go racing along again, becoming more and more battered until at last some day I will be thrown upon the shore of despair—old and useless. Oh. little Majnuise, how I wish you could send me some communication from that land where you are now. I don’t think I am unique among women. Others of my sex have passed jthrough what I am passing through now, otherwise our newspapers and divorce courts would not be filled -with the sensational protests of embittered women. Ts I were free, if 1 had no children for whom I was responsible. I would go away, and as the fashionable novel of today, has it, “I would live my own life.’’ Now, I think I would live It jlist as John has been living his—-oh, I am not quite sure if that be true or not, .hut I am so nurt that I want to hurt John as much as he has hurt me. Here I am, though, with a young baby in my arms, whose father is John Alcjen Prescott. Every, chord of my life is bdUnd to my husband. My father has made him the custodian of my mother's and my property. Pad evidently thought that we were to be together until death parted us. I don’t see hoWi can get out from under. I haven’t the courage or the strength of character to end it all. I told Ruth, little Marquise, because 1 knew that she had been through this experience with Harry Ellington. I asked her what I should do. I knew that she took a long while before she decided -to divorce her first husband, even when she wqs in love with Walter Burke There is no man on earth that I care for, little Marquise—not even my husband at present—and I waited with bated breath to hear what Ruth would advise hie to do. She said she could not advise me. She told me I must follow my own impulse—my own reasoning. I am not able to think, little Marfjuise. I do not even feel very much. I am only able to live from day to day. Your unhappy LESLIE. (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) TOMORROW Telegrams from John Alden Prescott to Leslie Prescott.

THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF THE U. S. 393 SEVENTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, N. Y. Incorporated under the Lame of the State of New York "% The scope of Life Insurance has been so broadened within recent years that there are now no financial values dependent upon the continuance of human life that it cannot protect. Permanent future support for the family can be furnished by insurance payable in the form of a monthly income. The earnings of professional and salaried men can be projected into the future. Mortgaged homes can be protected. The education of children can be provided for. Inheritance taxes can be paid. The interests of corporations and partnerships can be safeguarded. The product of the money-making power of successful men can be insured. Employers can provide for the widows and orphan children,of their employes. And men and women can make ample provision for their own support in after life. Inquiries addressed directly to the Home Office of the Equitable about any feature of its business will receive prompt attention. The Equitable distributes its funds throughout the United States in conservative investments;, including loans on homes and farm loans. .

lods. She Isn’t accustomed to the freedom of Mary with her boy friends. The daughter at times seems to throw common sense to tfte four winds. The same way with Jim, her son. He is growing away from her. What shall she do? She becomes either a flapper mother, to keep up with her children, the tem parent demanding obedience, or the gentle, but bewildered mother lost in the mazes of modern youth. The ideal mother is her children's pal from babyhood, so that they know, even when they begin to have new thoughts, that mother will listen sympathetically. But she does not stoop to the level of the mother. She retains her dignity. She does not act or pretend she feels as her children -do. She merely lets them know her ears are always open for their confidence, and she wants to give them sympathy, advice, mustard plasters, whatever else, it may be that they need. Out of Hand Dear Mias Lee: I am the mother of two jrirle, IS and 17 years old. They are iust at the are when they are thinking: of boys.. and I nnd it hard to control them. They want to po to dances all the time, and I will not let them. I. am afraid they may meet boys outside our home, as l know grirls do some times, but they are too young to have company. They seem to be getting more distant toward me every day. I am an oldfashioned mother and I do not understand these young people. What can I do? WORRIED MOTHER. You can study them, so you will understand. You may' as well face the facts. Your children are growing up. They are different from the young women of your girlhood, just as you were different from thoSF of your mother’s. Your job is to keep up with them, in spirit. Read their books. Make friends with their friends. There’s no use trying to keep them away from boys. Doing so \yill only give them wrong impressions, Instead, throw your home open as e. place where they can bring their friends and have a good time. Guide them in their friendships and in* their good times. Let them go to dances, of the right sort, sometimes. Keeping up wi'h your children is as important as bringing them up, and It’s harder. Parental Objections Dear Martha Lee: I am a girl of 10 and am interested in a boy of 19. My mother will not allow me tq go with boys, but X' do just the same, and you know a boy has no respect for a girl who meets him on tha street comer. I went with this boy. but wb quit. 1. What shall I do about mothers. 2. Am I too young to go* with boys, or with btm? 3. How can I bring him back? ' JIMMIE. 1. I don’t know. Your mother knows you; I do not. The fact that you disobeyed your mother £hd did the very foolish thing of meeting boys on street corners indicates that she may be justified in thinking you are too young to go with boys. Ordinarily, I would suggest in a similar case that the girl try to persuade her mother to allow her to have boy friends at home if the mother objected to her going out with boys. 2. The age at which girls mature varies, so it is impossible to say, without knowing a girl, whether she is too young to go with boys. , 3. By acting in such a way Jie will know you have more sense and self-respect than your past actions indicate.
