DON’T CONDEMN YOUTH TODAY, REMEMBER KING EDWARD

British Monarch Didn’t Have His Fling Until He Was Middle Aged, All Because of a Strict Mother Who Bossed Him Until He Was 34 Years Old. By Martha Lee Do the antics of “flaming youth” disturb you? Are you fearful for the young folks of today and wonder “what they're coming to?” There’s this to consider: Young folks having the things that belong to them—jnusic, laughter, a certain freedom, aren’t likely to “kick over the traces” later.

Here’s the story'of King Edward VII of England to prove it. He was Queen Victoria’s son, you know, and as merry a monarch as you could mention. At one time, London echoed with stories of his all-night parties and flirtations. This middleaged gayety is explained by conditions of Edward’s early life. Asa child, he was never allowed any freedom. The strong-minded. Queen Victoria Insisted that he obey her in even personal habits. When he was 34 years old she wrote him, “Be In bed by 10 o’clock.” She guided the way he should wear his pockets, the s way he should walk etc., —and that when he was a bearded, middle-aged man. That was the explanation of his belated gayety, his “wildness.” He had his boyhood when other men had settled down to the seriousness of middle age life. Perhaps there’s consolation in this, parents. Your "flaming youth” will at least flame at the right time of life. Difficult Young Folks Dear Martha Lee: I wish you would advise mo. I have been married only three years, although lam 52 years old. I married a man who had throe children, and I thought l could pot along all rifrht with them, but they almost set mo wild and I do not see how I can stand to live in my husband’s house with them. It’s not that they are really bad children, but they are on tho go all the time or tfve the house full of young: folks until Tate at niKhL It’s jazz songs and Charlestoniner and now dances that look almost indecent to me. I want to do mv duty, now that I ye married their father, but, it is a terrible job I have gotten myself in. Please vJ d \i se r nie ’ MRS. D. M. v. Don’t be discouraged, Mrs. D. M. C. Almost all the young folks act that way nowadays, and really it’s not as serious as you may feel. If you formerly were not thrown with children, it is, of course, a real test and trial to you to get into a household of up-to-date youngsters. But consider. You have a great opportunity .there. You can exact a tremendous influence for good, but be careful and do not let them feel that you are condemning them. Try to understand their point of view and

TOO MANY WOMEN ARE TR YING PEN By Mrs. Walter Ferguson Kathleen Norris, popular novelist, whose success in the literary field lias been so Inspiring, declares that any woman, provided she have determination and patience, may be a successful writer, no matter how restricted her life. All of which is more or less true, but it is dangerous propaganda to put out to the women these days. For if we have not now entirely too many people expressing their opinions In print, with what are we surfeited? Women long to write because It Is the easiest mode of self expression, and the likeliest way to make money at the same time. It can be done at home. It can deal with any subject from the raising of cabbages to the strange way of a man with a maid. It is fascinating and alluring and holds endless possibilities for the future. It can begin in the dirt and end in the stars. Its hope is everlasting. ( It has an especial appeal to women. It makes them feel artistic and peculiarly above the multitudes who do not live by the pen, and it can turn the brightest person into tho biggest fool in the shortest period of time. And don’t you sometimes feel that if about 90 per cent of all writers were shut up in walled towers for the next ten years we might catch our breath and find out just what it is they are trying to tell us? The deluge of novels! These Interminable magazine stories going through the monthly journals to the lame inevitable end! Are our brains •qual to the strain of remembering the terrible dilemma our heroine faced in the last installment and in getting the characters ah fixed in their proper places when the next issue comes? / almost without reading them, do we not already know what is going to happen? In a continued story, in a movie scenario, can’t your mind go loaping, like a rabbit, ahead of the printed word and visualize the termination of every one of them? Are not the plots worked to death?' After all, Is there really anything left to say? No doubt Mr9. Norris means well, but in giving such rash advice may one be pardoned for suspecting that her motive may have been —just another subject to write about herself? No, if only everybody, except the tragic few who have something new and important to say, stopped writing what a dearth of literary output there would be, and what a splendid opportunity to catch up with our back reading!

He’s Backing Out Dr-ar Martha Lee: Are all men alike? I am beginning to think ro. I have been going with a man for over a year until Oet 22. Then I found out he had been going with other giris. He told me ho went to basketball (tames etc. Instead, he would go to dances and parties and take other Kiris Wo were supposed to Ket married in June. He bouirht me a diamond ring and now he has Bent men friends of his around lo see me to try to Ket the rini;. I love him very much, and I would like to have some advice. F. E. S. Too liad. F. E. S., but it certainly looks like there is nothing to do but to work out of the memory of the young man. He has evidently grown tired of the romance. You can congratulate yourself that you found out he was a deceiver before ybu married him. Let your pride come to your rescue. This seems hard now, I know, but for a man of his evident caliber, yotr-need have small regrets, and you'll see this before a great while. Only Met Once Dear Martha Lee: A few years Ago., (luring my travels. I met a very charming Birl in (inn of the southern States. I was much impressed with her beauty and intellßienoe. I have only seen her the one time, but we have become very intimate throiiKh correspondence and have become engaged. We arc to be married in the next six months. While she seems to be a wonderful girl she constantly has dates, and tells me so in her letters. I have quit having dates myself since I gave her an engagement ring. As I have seen her only onee. the second time I see her will be When we meet to get married. Seems odd. doesn’t it? What do you think? FRANK E. Unless there are very strong reasons against it, I should take an early train for that southern State dnd meet and talk with this girl before the wedding day. You certainly are doing a very risky thing in trusting so much to your one favorable impression. Perhaps she won't seem the same to you when you meet her again. One's standards and ideals are often revolutionized by the passing of a few years.

Saint and Sinner By ANNE AUSTIN

To Faith it seemed that that gay gay rehearsal of the wedding, within St. Peter’s beautiful, austere, echoing immensity, on the even of Cherry’s wedding day, was as binding as an actual cerembny could bq. It was bitterly cold outside, and since there were no services at St. Peter’s that day, the church was like a vast, iced vault. Frances Warren and Selma Pruitt, who had sweetly acknowledged Cherry’s rather impudent but sincere notes of apology for the scene she had created in their presence, were bundled in fur coats. “You're going to have a fur coat hy Christmas,” Bob, there in the capacity of usher, along with Bill Warren and George Pruitt, whispered to Faith, as she withdrew from the center of the clamorous group after the rehearsal. ‘‘lsn't it heartbreaking to see how proud Mr. Cluny looks?” Faith countered, though the sudden sweep of color into her pale cheeks had answered him mutely. “He tries to walk so—so jauntily, as if he were trying to prove he isn't really old — just in his prime. ' I’m afraid that strenuous trip to Europe is going to be too much for him. Cherry will want to do everything and see everything, from riding in a Venetian gondola to climbing the Alps, nnd he looks as if a sudden gust of this November wind would carry him away; Oh. Bob, I hope she’ll be kind to him! It's breaking my heart to see him so proud and happy and so determined to be the gay young dog!” ’’Let's run away and have an hour to ourselves,” Bob'd fingers closed tightly around her arm, ardently, possessively. “I’m starving for you. darling. Cherry has kept you so frantically busy that I haven't had a real kiss for days.” “I’ll have to tell her I’m going,” Faith whispered. When she edged quietly Into the clamorous group about Cherry nnd the elderly bridegroom, she heard her sister saying, in a high, nervous, excited voice: “Yes. I’m all packed. Every last one of my seven trunks was checked today right to New York. Ralph did it himself, the darling.” Her golden

eyes were lifted fleetingly but with somethin?? like shy tenderness to the silver-haired old man who bent so possessively, so yearningly over her. “Two blessed thrilling weeks in New York, and then—Europe! I’m so excited I can’t sleep. All of you come over to the house now. Faith has made enough Thanskgiving pies for a dozen families and Ralph has given mother a case of the most marvelous sherry. Good for her, you know, but she won’t be piggy about it.” “I think you ought to go right home and go to Faith tugged gently at the sleeve of the mink coat. “Bob and I are going for a little drive. I'll be homo in an hour, to give you a bromide, if you aren't already sleeping." “I don’t want to sleep!” Cherry laughed shrilly. “I can get plenty of sleep when I’m a settled old married woman, but this last night—the very last night when I’ll be Miss Cherry Lane, 1 want to dance all night. Come on, boys and girls! I've been learning to do the 'Black Bottom’ and I can Charleston any one of you under the table.” A quick flush splotched the thin, waxen checks of the old man she was going to marry. Faith, her heart throbbing with pity, saw his hand tremble on Cherry's shoulder. “You’ll do no such thing. Cherry Lane!” Faith laughed. ‘‘Mother's all worn out with excitement as it is, and I'm not going to let her be kept awake all night hy jazz music and dancing. Mr. Cluny, you'll take her right home, won’t you, and give her strict orders to go to bed? You must begin to assert your authority over her. I’ve found her a handful, myself.” The gayety was wiped instantly from Cherry's vivid, lovely little face. '“Oh, nil right. Faith bosses me to death,” she wailed plaintively.

“You’ll be nice to me than Faith Is, won’t you?” Ralph Cluny put an arm stiffly about Cherry’s shoulders, and Faith was horribly embarrassed to see the quick tears of age film his pale gray eyes. “I’ll be good to you, my dear child. I’ll do everything in the world to make you happy.” When the wedding party had dispersed, Cherry obediently allowing herself to be escorted home alone by her bridegroom, Faith found that her heart was too heavy for the relief either of words or tears. Bob Hathaway, driving his new sedan swiftly and almost silently through the wind-swept streets, now lightly powdered with the first snow of the
