Mothers, Don’t Let Flock of Relatives Interfere With Rearing Children BY MARTHA LEE CHILDREN often cause trouble between two related families. Aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents think because of the tie of kinship, the child becomes their property. Its rearing, its education and its training seems to be theirs to direct. Any mother resents this because she realizes that a child should be trained in one way. She understands that when Aunt Sally, perhaps, was rearing her children, modern child science

had just begun, hence Aunt Sally can not possibly know what is the best thing for the child. Aunt Sally however thinks because she had five children that she absolutely knows everything that will benefit her little nephew or niece. The only tactful solution for a problem of this sort is for the mother to start when the child is a baby by using her own judgment in its care. Let the relatives advise but forget their advice as soon as they give it. The hint will soon be taken and much later trouble will be avoided in these well-meaning, though sometimes bothersome kin. Too many cooks spoil the broth, mothers, and by having several persons telling a child to do this or that, the child will soon mind no one. Remember, sometimes the? orders will conflict and there are grounds for any family quarrel. Dear Miss Lee: Please do not judee all daughters-in-law by a Jew. Mv in-laws are terribly disagreeable. I went to visit them last winter and because I refused to let all of them punish mv child. 6. they all were uncivil to both my daughter and me. All children are mischievious. Os course they must overcome this spirit, but I do not believe in permitting seven or eight persons to try their theories of child rearing on her. I tried to get along w'ith my husband's people but they were determined to rule my little girl so I insisted upon our leaving even though they encouraged my husband to stay. What do you think of my side of the Story? A READER. Dear Reader: You are entirely right in leaving your in-laws. They ruin the disciplining of a child by either being too severe with it or by spoiling it beyond endurance. The v/ise mother understands that a child is much better at home, where everything is done the same way every day. Changes upset the disposition and the health of any child. Evidently your husband’s family believed your child was undisciplined and so they all attempted to try their theories on her. An outsider sometimes will see a child in a truer light than the mother, whose great love will blind her ability to see its faults. Perhaps, Reader, your child has been spoiled and its disposition has suffered far more than you realize. However, you can overcome Its faults without any outside advice, so just continue to stay away from your relatives. Dear Miss Lee: I am is end like a boy who lives down the street from me. We have all our dates together end now he wants me to wear his fraternity pin. Would It be all right for me to do this? He says .if X do not accept it he will know that I really do not like him atid will start going with other girls. However, if X do tvear it, none of the other bovs will notice me and if I find I do not love this bov there will be no one else for me to go out with. What should I do? LONESOME. Dear Lonesome: Any girl 16 is far too young to make all her engagements with one young man because this is her time of life to have good times and to find what sort of a young man she wants for a husband. Most girls enjoy the thrill of possessing a fraternity pin and I can easily see how you would like to wear this boy's. Perhaps you can arrange it with him to wear it and at the same time have other dates. It has been done, you know. You are selfish in not wanting him to enjoy the society of other girls. “What is sauce for the goose” works both ways. The best thing for you both to do is to retainyour friendship, but start going out with other young persons your age. Announce Engagement When Miss Hazel and Miss Eleanor Young. 958 Middle Dr , Woodruff Place, entertained informally Saturday afternoon for their sister, Mrs. Ina McGinnis, Chicago, the engagement of Miss Hazel Young to Stephen F. Elms, Pittsburgh, Pa., was announced. The wedding will take place in the summer.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ o tt a THEIR LETTERS

BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES Dear Marye: Please don’t be too sure that you’re thinking only of the good of your children when you say you’ll wait until they won’t give you any extra work to do before you decide to have them. Your view sounds kind of selfish to jne, but of course I grew up in an age when mothers loved to take care of their babies and never would have entertained the thought of turning them over to a nurse to bring up. Very rich women raised their children by proxy, I know, but there weren't so many who could afford this luxury. Maybe they did not have so much to do keeping up with society that they had to have help, but you are not in the Sunday rotogravures you know, Marye dear, and you don’t have to sacrifice the nicest thing in a woman’s life in order to run around to bridge games and dinners and dances. Children might like nice looking parents, as you say, but they like young parents who can understand them too. What boy under twenty wants a “dad” to be old enough to be his grandfather? And if you believe that a young daughter wants the companionship of a mother who is so old she can't remember what it feels like to be a girl you are very much mistaken. And somehow, strange as it seems, people who have the burden of bringing up children get along just as well, if not bettor, than some of you who don’t have to think twice about what you should do with your money. I dare say you wouldn’t be buying imported dresses if the baby needed anew coat or bonnet. Things like clothes and keeping up with wealthier friends don't mean so much when you have something better to spend money on. Some frivolous women never can think of anything else, of course, but in most cases children are a great influence for thrift; and the sooner you acquire that influence the better it will be for you. There isn’t much incentive in saving money just for yourselves.

People haven’t the imagination, ordinarily, to see themselves in the old age stage. Perhaps it’s a good thing that nature has deprived us of that facllty so that we might keep young in our hearts and have no fear of decrepity or the proverbial rainy day. But nature meant us to have children so that we should anchor ourselves for them, at least, if not for our very own selves. I’m afraid the way you childless wives are increasing that our institutions of the future will be homes for poor folks. With love and hope. MO”.
