Protecting Child From Hard Knocks Tends to Halt Character Building BY MARTHA LEE WHAT are the limitations of a parent’s jurisdiction over the child? Are there any at all? In a number of recent letters these questions in various forms and for sundry reasons, have been brought to my attention. A child should be advised and influenced and directed by parents as long as a parent can possibly hold sway over that child for the reason that, innately, a parent will do absolutely
the best possible thing for his own flesh and blood. He will Avant that child to avoid the mistakes he himself has made in his life. He will want that child to have the advantages that were denied him as a boy. He will desire the cream of the earth for his own son or daughter. That is only natural. It is to be expected from a loving parent. But how many times are parents absolutely blinded to the things that are best for their child, b T , their desire to shield and protect them; by their desire to absorb the shocks of life themselves rather than allow their children to suffer any discomfiture any exposure to the hardships of life that have been directly responsible to the forming of their own characters? Parents of this sort, regardless of how much they are in good faith about all of this, are doing their child a grave injustice. They are thwarting the development of their characters in the most subtle, deadly way. Children deserve the knocks of life. They want them. Their souls cry out for battles to fight, that will give them a chance to test the “stuff” they- are made of. I have a letter from a young woman who has been sheltered and pampered all her life. She is now 23 years old and wants to marry. Her parents, who have lavished upon her the luxuries of life, a splendid and expensive education, every chance in the world to be associated with the wealthy families of the town, are blocking her every effort to marry the man she loves. Here is the letter: Dear Miss Lee: I am 23 years old. My family is wealthy and has, childhood civen me everythin*? that any Eirl ?ould desire. A good education, a iiumhet of luxuries. Social advantages above the average. And what have I done. 1 have fallen in love with a p °° r J?® l },' hirrf narents refuse to allow me to marry rum. iisrA f?ctlv n c d ompaUb?c. r iike the same things and SSwSmWI mi Marianne, my poor child, you have a problem.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ a a their letters
Dear Mom— Your sweet and motherly letter came last week, and I intended to write long before this, but somehow, I don't seem to ha>e anything very cheerful to write about. Tne whole truth of the matter is that Alan and I are just about as unhappy as two people can be At least I am. * _ . „„ Truly, I don’t know why I hate, let this “get” me so. We’ve quarreled often, and had swell fights : And when the smoke of battle | cleared away, we forgot our ammosities and everything was jake. But this is one of those 'deep, silent quarrels, that seems to grow darker ,nd more sinister all the while. And believe it or not, it has met at the weeping point. Now you ■ 'now 1 was never a sob sister, and I have never wept much, except for effect, not from conviction. Believes Love Dead I’m perfectly sure Alan does not care for me at all any more—and the future looks just too dismal and black for anything. You know 1 told you how he went out riding with Helen the other evening, and how we quarreled.I stayed up until two, waiting for him to return, perfectly furious at first, and then gradually feeling sort of lumpy in my throat. When he did come in, I was quite unable to give him the fine lecture I had prepared. I was too teary to talk. He was quite silent §nd morose, and scarcely said a word to me. I lay awake nearly all night, but he slept as calmly as though he had not given me such a wretched evening. Perhaps I ought to have said something about Ms. Shelton, but somehow I couldn’t. Alan was like a forbidding stranger, instead of my easy-going husband. From that time to this, we have maintained a sort of armed neutrality. Before others, we keep up a semblance of chatter and interest in each other and as soon as we are alone, we drop these masks and become silent and cold. Different from Fighting I know how to fight—and how to take what someone sends me, but I am just worn down by this sort of treatment. The only consolation I have is Mr. Shelton, who is really turning out to be very sympathetic and nice. He says he knows now what he has always suspected, that in spite of my bravado, I am hopelessly in love with my husband. I’m not sure. Truly, I don’t ißiow but what I hate Alan. Sometimes I am sure I do. As for Helen, she is making hay while the sun does not shine upon me, but certainly she is not making Alan very happy. Rather than being in hot pursuit of her, I should say he avoids her. He spends most of his time playing bridge with a group of men or reading. This certainly was a gorgeous idea of his to have a nice calm summer on the shore. If I come trailing home some of these days, don’t be surprised. I’m just about ready to do something desperate. And before I do, I want to see you, and have some of your dear motherly advice that I have so often scorned. Don’t be unprepared. Miserably, MARYE.
union might mean? Can’t you talk with them, show them how they are denying you the great adventure for which you have been educated? You have an obligation to them, of course, but if influence and common logic fail, I should advise you to go ahead. You are old enough to understand what it will mean. Think everything over carefully, talk it over with your fiance, and if you both decide, after considering everything, that it will be worth the hardships, go ahead, and bless you for your courage.

BY HENRI BENDEL For NEA Service NEW YORK, July 20.—The authenticity of prints is impressed on us anew in the smartest, latest daytime frocks. There are printed linens, piques, rough silks and novelty weaves in cotton for the tennis court. The golf links also see their quota of ingeniously fashioned printed outfits. But the porch costumes for country club wear are the ones that realize how summery and in tune with the flowers, the birds and the trees the right kind of printed chiffons and other diaphanous silks can be. By porch costumes I mean the lovely frocks women wear when they play the late morning game of bridge, the costumes they wear

THE INDIAHAPOLIS TIMES
when lunching in a shady corner, and the tea costumes for afternoon wear which rival the dressy loveliness of garden party frocks of another era. Any kind of summer dress should suggest as much coolness as possible. That is one reason why prints are so popular. For, in their design of out-door things and in their colors which may choose refreshing shades that suggest the woods and gardens, they are typically summer. Polka dots remain smart, in spite of a tremendous vogue for them among costumes that are inexpensive- and far from exclusive. For thax reason, the polka dotted frock that achieves chic and 'distinction deserves more credit, really, than one fashioned from a material of original and unique design. All Like Dots Since women universally like polka dots and since they are almost universally becoming, every couturier includes a few of this type. I show one today of polka dotted foulard for morning and lunch wear that is unusual in its treatment of color and dots. It is a study in brown and beige, with the pleated skirt a dark brown svith beige polka dots and the blous’ a beige background with pale cream wards slightly longer skirts. The dots. The skirt has all-around box pleats and shows the tendency tooverblouse has a belt at natural waistline to mould it to the figure and a kerchief neck of cream foulard. Inserts of this cream foulard give an unusual touch to the deepturned back cuffs. With a Reboux hat of brown rarnee straw, brown purse and beige footwear, this is one of the season’s smartest models. Frocks of Blue Chiffon For tea time, Patou fashions a cool looking, fluttery chiffon frock with a kerchief neck and a petallike skirt that droops and dips in uneven lengths, concentrating its greatest fullness and greatest length on the left side, anew stvle note. The chiffon is a cool, effective pattern in blue, shading to deep purple. The foundation of chiffon is princess and the lines of the frock are distinctly moulded. The natural waistline is accented by a wide girdle that has no bows nor buckles to detract from the slender line it gives. Topping this creation of loveliness is a simple leghorn hat in natural color, trimmed with a wreath all around its crown of field flowers in the same shades as the printed flowers in the dress. Committee Meeting The administrative committee of the Indianapolis Little Theatre Society will meet Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. William Henry Coburn, Riverside Park Dr. Fortieth Anniversary The Women’s Relief Corps of Muncie celebrated its fortieth anniversary Thursday with a program of music and reminiscences.

Camp Fire High Honor for Twelve The highest rank awarded to Camp Fire Girls, that of torch-bear-er, was conferred upon two leaders and ten girls Thursday evening at the-closing ceremonial of the third, period at Camp Alahi of the organization. The following girls, all members of one group at Zionsville, were honored: Catherine Fray, Harriett Cruse, Jewel Shelburne, Marjorie Bundy, Martha Pitzer, Mildred Mills, Beatrice Beelar, Ruth Halstead, Edith Mills, Bessie Mae Beelar. Miss Pauline Martin, Guardian of Wendat Group at Zionsville, and Miss Alice Frey, leader of Tatapochen group Under the leadership of Miss Frey eight of the girls have worked for the past six months on the major requirement for the rank which consists in organizing and conducting a group of younger girls, a Blue Bird group. The Blue Birds are the junior Camp Fire Girls, 6 to 11. Weekly meetings of the group were planned and carried out by the girls under the direction of Miss Frey. Two girls, Edith Mills and Jewel Shelburne, took their rank in music which required work in accompanying, giving free lessons and composing an original piece. The latter was sent to National Camp Fire Headquarters for final judging. As well as fulfilling the requirements in their chosen craft for rank, these girls have won at least sixtythree other honors chosen from all groups of the seven crafts, which are, Home, Health, Camp, Hand, Nature, business and citizenship. While at camp some of the girls have completed work in camp craft and nature by making nature notebooks of leaf and flower collections; identifying and describing trees and birds; making fire by friction; constructing and using outdoor cooking devices; building three kinds of fires, and learning parts of the Indian sign language. Members of this group with their guardian and the help of the camp staff have worked out a program for next winter which will help these girls to fulfill the torch bearer's desire—" That light which has been given to me, I desire to pass undimmed to others.” The Board of Directors of the Indianapolis Council of Camp Fire Girls were special guests at dinner and the ceremonial Thursday evening.
