Only Child Unfortunate Because Destined Never to Know Understanding BY MARTHA LEE I I HAVE a letter today that is as good an argument as any for not having “only” children. I have always contended that an only child is the most hapless creature in the world. Most people figure that an only child has a decided advantage over a youngster from a large family. Think how much more money can be spent on his education, his upbringing, his clothes and comforts!

Yes, but also think how all this tends to make him and self-centered and conceited ; hoAv all these attentions and advantages work, more than anything, to a decided disadvantage in the end. The child becomes used to petting and pampering and having his own way. Usually, because he is handled with “gloves on” by his parents and his doting aunties and his adoring grandparents, he is heartless in his treatment of others. He is apt to he sarcastic and cruelly thoughtless. None of the advantages you could hame can offset these things. For after all, no one is worth “a tinker’s dam” to the world who is not kind and forgiving and understanding. When you have been taught to see things only from one perspective you cannot be kind and forgiving and most surely never, never understanding. Those with whom you come in contact suffer because of this. No matter how hard you try to be nice about things you simply can not be like the others. You are the strange children, the unfortunate children, you are one and “onlys." , Just blame it all on your folks. Who probably meant well, regardless of the results. Here is the letter that caused this outburst: Dear Miss Lee: I am in e peculiar position. Seven months ago X was married to an only son of a well-to-do family. During these seven months I have been very unhappy on account of the wav mv “in-laws' treat me They shun me and Ignore me. whatever I do or sav. Mv mother-in-law is worse than my father-in-law. She will bawl me out for the slightest error When I am being treated this way my husband only laughs and says 1 deserve such treatment. I have begged my husband to take me awr„v from them and he says he wouldn't leave his mother for anyone. After all this, he still insists that he loves me. Miss Lee. I do love him. but It is breaking mv heart to live this way. I haven't any friends or relatives here. Mv parents live in Chicago. Do vou think it would be wrong If I went home until he comes to his senses. I am expecting a little one. Please help me. MARGARET JEAN. You poor little child. As is explained, I believe it is the fault of his training. His parents have doubtless spoiled him, and themselves have lost perspective in understanding. Can’t you have a talk with them? Assume, at least a dignity and quiet and reserve that will not allow the sneers to ruffle you. Think of yourself as superior to them and their remarks. Perhaps it would do you good to make a visit to your own home for a while. It certainly is a mistake to live with your "in-laws.” Try to make your husband see this and get into a place by yourselves.

Woman’s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER Here's anew Idea and a bit startling one, to boot. Dr. Henry Dwight Chapin, prominent child welfare worker, says small families among the more intellectual classes are not because of conscious limitation of families so much as that “a high development of brain and its abundant use tend to inhibit the faculty of procreation.” If this belief becomes popularly known, people will fear to have families, thus providing a ‘‘dead give-away” as to their lack of intelligence. a a a A Male Peeve A man of Brazil, Ind.. thought his wife had deserted him, went home, smashed up all the furniture, stacked it in the front yard and placarded it ‘‘a monument to a

Keeping Butter To keep butter firm in hot weather,- without the aid of ice, fill a large basin with water, put in as much salt as will dissolve, wrap the butter In grease-proof paper and put it in the water. This also prevents the butter from becoming rancid. Avoid opening the oven door widely or shutting it quickly while baking. A sudden draught is likely to spoil the pastry.

YOUR CHILD Vaccination Is Really Needed

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON The approach of school brings the annual crop of vaccinations. In every State the various boards of health demand that children show certificates of successful vaccination before they can be admitted to public schools. It has taken many years to convince some parents of the necessity of vaccination, but most people now realize that in being vaccinated their children are protected from a real and ever-threatening danger, and not needlessly subjected to an inoculation with nothing, but official redtape behind it. Smallpox is no respecter of persons. It spares neither rich nor poor, young nor old. It is one of the most terrible and loathsome of diseases. Vaccination has pretty well stamped out smallpox in this country, but were the eternal vigilance of health authorities to relax for one instant there is no doubt that it would be only a question of months until the disease had whole communities in its grip. We read constantly of the progress of science and its contributions toward the lengthened span of life. The age to which man may expect to live has been Increased by many years in the last few decades. Not by medicines and pills, nor even by the treatment of disease, but chiefly by the prevention of disease, smallpox among them. Diphtheria is another. Since the discovery of antitoxin we have learned to think of diphtheria as little more serious than tonsilitis, or any other sore throat. Only those who have battled with it before the days of antitoxin know its terrors. And so it is with vaccination. We do not fear what we do not know. The fact that w’e do not know smallpox is due entirely to the custom of vaccination. One French doctor in a recent address made the remark that a country was in the greatest danger from an epidemic of disease when it felt the safest, because it was likely to forget the precautions necessary to prevent that disease. Boards of health see to It that our vigilance or this score does not relax. They are saving us in spite of ourselves.
