Answer the letters that interest vou When vou have no Question of your own. The more letters we receive, the more interesting the column. Note—Helene and her husband (a doctor) have been married hap- * pily for years. Each occupies a separate apartment and live like lovers instead of according to the traditional pattern. Helene sometimes feels that they should have children, but her husband says there are too many people in the world already. Her letter was printed a few days ago and here are the replies. Dear Jane Jordan: To Helene—Do you really want my opinion of your marriage? I think both of you are cowards for not accepting life as vou find it or as God intended it. What earthly use is your life it it isn't to bring children in the world to love and to teach to be real men and women? I'm young and single, but my one idea la to prepare my life for real motherhood. I have overcome ray temptations with that view in mind. I cant imagine a real mother shirking responsibility. Can you? TWENTY-ONE. s Dear Twenty-One— At 21 it is normal and natural for you to feel as you do. The goal you have set for yourself is honorable and admirable and you are right to work toward it as earnestly as you can. Your only mistake lies in supposing that what is right for you is right for everybody else, too. You MARGARET WARNER GUEST AT BRIDGE Miss Margaret Warner, whose Carriage to Prank E.

must not deny others their right to a happy life because their concept of it differs from yours. ‘‘Do not call the turtle bad because she is something else.” Mark Twain has said that the holding of moral absolutes and their imposition on others is the cause of most of the suffering in the world. If the human race always had accepted life as it found it, we still would be living in Protests the dark ages. If „ ... no one had the Result in courage to protest Progress when he did not find life to his liking, there would have been no progress. There are so many interpretations as to what God intended that it is somewhat difficult to choose from them. For example, if monogamy is a divine intention, what are we to think of Solomon’s wives? Many people have led remarkably productive lives without benefit of children; so you scarcely can say that living is no earthly use without them. As for parenthood, it is the oldest profession in the world, and according to John Watson, the behaviorist, it’s a failure. Parents do not succeed in teaching their children to be real men and women. They are such remarkable bunglers at their tas* that it’s almost a lucky accident when Parents children turn out _ , , all right. Declared This is pretty Bunglers strong medicine for a young girl full of tender hopes and aspirations. I do not mean to discourage you in your objective, but to stimulate you to think. Get married and have your babies, by all means, but do learn something about child psychology first, and don't think that the mere physical fact of motherhood automatically endows you with all the wisdom you will need. The old dictum of "Mother knows best,” has fallen by the wayside. * ft a , wr J° ? el K ne T You , are a Wlse woman and your husband a wiser man. He, because ?, e knew what was best for you ana carried It out; and you. because you are courageous. It does take courage to be different, doesn't it. Helene? Eo to you ‘wo 1 say. if you trespass on no one's i v ? u are . happy, and your love still is the best thing that ever came to you. you should and can be proud A WELL WISHER. ft ft ft Dear Jane Jordan—My first reaction to Helene s letter was that her marriage was exactly the kind I should like. Howe\f ■ if - 1 had t 0 sacrifice the daughter w'hom I love so dearly for such a man, there would be absolutely no room for him in my scheme of life. Only in middle age, when one needs a last fling at romance, when one craves the sweetness of much courting without being bound by too many chains, would such a arrangement be really satisfactory. A READER. ft ft tt Dear Tow Head—l will mail a letter to you, general delivery, within the next day or two. Look for it. MARY ITeNRY TO BE GUEST AT SHOWER Miss Mary Henry, whose marriage to Edward J.
