JULY 29/1927

Keeping Up With Living Standards * BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Emily Newell Blair writes an article on “Why We Live Beyond Our Means.” In one way it is a misnomer, for what Mrs. Blair really wishes to explain is why we are tempted often to give up to every cent we’ve got. As she expresses it, “close to the ragged edge.” Her keen knowledge of human nature goes into a very comforting and understandable explanation of why it is that we try to keep up appearances. In substance Mrs. Blair says that our grandmothers lived in a period of large houses furnished' for the most part with solid Victorian furniture and heavy carpets in every room. Our parents continued to live in substantial houses, had hardwood floors, and even'boasted Oriental rugs. When our memories do not associate anything but a certain dignified convention and pride of living with two, or even three, generations gone, it is difficult to reduce our own standards of living to two or three rooms, furnished in mediocre fashion. no allowance for help, and little enough for food and clothes. All of it costing more than our parents or grandparents ever dreamed of paying for their substantial comforts l Add to the tradition of the genteel living that Mrs. Blair speaks of, the demand the times makes on our pocketbooks. Telephones! It is well-nigh impossible now to get along without one. Automobiles! Say as you like that they are entirely dispensable. They are dispensable, of course, in many cases, but as a matter of fact, with their advent have come conditions that make their use almost as imperative for private use as well as for business purposes. There are a hundred new inventions that are necessary for our comfort. We should be unhappy without them, and we should be conspicuous without them. We dislike being conspicuous, all of us, and as instinctively adapt our habits as the man who went to Rome. Then there is education, which was formerly a rather casual thing. Are we to be too heavily censored for not saving as our parents and grandparents saved? I agree with Mrs. Blair that we are not. , s Helen Hayes Is Honored by Shower Party Mrs. Emmett Gerdts, 1435 Orange St., entertained with a kitchen shower Thursday evening in honor of Miss Helen Hayes whose marriage to William Reiney will take place Sept. 11.

Child Supervision Can Be Initiative Destroyer BY MARTHA LEE In present day child rearing, there is likely to be too much supervised play, too much scientificfeeding, too much “expert” training. It is a grave injustice to a child to so guide and control his every action that he has no opportunity to develop initiative and to keep his individuality. This too supervised training, also reacts unfairly upon the mother. “Mothers who put themselves on a pedestal, or lose their own individuality in devoting twenty hours a day to their children, inevitably reap the consequences in an unloved or lonely old age.” This was the opinion stressed at a recent child guidance clinic at the Belden Ave., School of Domestic Arts and Sciences in Chicago. There is food for thought here.

Live by the Clock Dear Martha Lee: I should like to have vour opinion about my tty two grandchildren are being reared ••scientifically” which Is to say they eat, sleep and make every move by the clock. We are not allowed to kiss them as they might contract germs and it seems to me that every particle of naturalness is being taken out of them. I had as healthy and fine children as any one could want and I never saw the need of weighing. straining and carding on as my daughter-in-law does. Don t you think such ••scientific" training is rank foollshnCSS - COMMON SENSE. Certainly some young mothers do seem to carry their present day rearing into far fetched activities, but you have the consolation that it is better for your daughter-in-law to have the scientific bug too strongly than to be correspondingly neglectful of her little ones. It is rather difficult for women of another generation to adapt themselves to many of the modern "isms” and fads, but this young mother must do what seems best to her. She has that right in this instance. You no doubt desired that privilege when you were her age. Wants Her to Repay Dear Martha Lee: My family borrowed SSOO from my husband. This was a year ego and they have never paid It back. He thinks I should go to work to earn the money. They did not borrow It from me. but him. Do you think that I should? MARGARET. If it was his own judgment that caused him tp lend the money, I do not see that he should hold you reI sponsible simply because they are ! your relatives. Perhaps, though, you can influence them to pay him back, | if they are able to do so. How to Tell Him? ; Dear Martha Lee: I am twenty years I old and have been engaged for six months to a man who Is studying medicine. He won't be able to marry for at least two ''we have petted a lot since we've known each other, but now things are getting very serious. I hate to tell him that we must not make love any more. How can I explain this to him without making him feel that I have lost confldence^ui^hlm? Tell him just as you have told me. If that is your conviction, and 4e i loves you, he will no doubt respect 1 your conviction about the matter.
