Age Revered Today Only Upon Merit White Hair Ceases to Be Sole Basis for Respect. BY GRETTA PALMER Times Speeial Writer NEW YORK. May 15.—Whistler's mother may be just the type for our postage stamps. But if the dear Toman were alive today linsey-woolsey shawl and all. she might find the going pretty hard The day when a mother's white hairs commanded the duti-

ful respect of her sons and daughters seems to have come to a violent end. "Boys Beat Rob Grandmother Shq Never Let Us Play.’ They Tell Police After Spree With H r r Money” ran a headline this w e e e k. Two Bronx youngsters, so the story said, were accused by their 62-year-old

grandmother of belaboring her with a rolling pin, stuffing a towel in her mouth and tying her to a bedpost. "The trouble was,” said one of the culprits, "that grandma wouldn't even let us out of the house.” In the same paper, which might be called the “Down-with-Mother's-riav" edition, appears the story of why one Dr. Mark Stemfels of Washington Heights had his mother arrested on a disorderly conduct charge. "I felt that my mother was not disposed to let me live m.v own life,” he explained. "I think she ought to realize that a married son ought not to be dictated to. It's got to stop!” The elderly women in these two rases may have acted in a highhanded manner of which modern psychologists would strongly disapprove. But it is well to remember that they are elderly women. Attitude Changes When they attempt, to run the lives of their young they are acting just the way their own parents did without arousing a squeak of protest. It must give them quite a jolt to find that they are regarded as tyrannical today. If you have had to answer your elders’ most uncongenial suggestions with a polite “Yes. Mamma,” when you were young you may look forward, not unnaturally, to getting your innings when you are elderly yourself. You imagine that the mere fact that you are their mother will make your children bow to your desires. And what a terrible surprise you get! For the world has moved since grandma was a girl—moved several degrees closer to the philosophy of individuality. The younger generation has been brought up to believe that parents owe deep duties to their children but that the children have no obligations to respect their parents unless that respect has been earned. Youth in Saddle Now Tine almost. Chinese reverence for old age which flourished in the days of prim Victoria has passed away. Youth is in the saddle now, and the prizes of the modern world are awarded to those qualities of reckless adventure at which youth is best . The mother of today may long to retire to her chimney corner with her knitting and her spectacles. But she finds that if she does she will sit there alone. The age in which we live deals rather cruelly with those who have neither drive nor aggressiveness nor the complexion of "sweet sixteen.” It is a period when the middle aged feel forced to take up the activities of the young in order to have any part in life at all. And so there is a certain pathos in the announcement that Arthur Murray is celebrating Mother's day by introducing anew dance—the "Mother's Waltz.” “Under the late dancing styles.' he says, "the elders couldn't very well dance and enjoy it. The dances were of too fast a pace. Now. however, our elders are being lured back to an old pleasure.” I wonder. I wonder if they do not sometimes think wistfully of the serenity they had anticipated in their old age. when they hoped they might relax a bit. instead of being asked to dress and dance and diet in the manner of a second youth which they do not honestly desire Mothers to Be Feted Mothers of members of the Alphf Latreian Club will be honored at f meeting at 2:30 tomorrow at tht home of Mrs. Karl Nessler. 4101 North Pennsylvania street. Dr. Join G. Benson, superintendent of th< Methodist hospital, will be speaker Assistant hostesses will be Mes dames William Horne. Hiram Keehi and Hcnrv Churchman.

A Woman’s Viewpoint = By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON =====

THE one person who always will bear watching is the woman who broadcasts her devotion to her husband. The minute we begin to defend ourselves in this way, we begin to need defense. Only the gentleman deep :n his cups ever talks about how much he loves his wife. Quite the most, and perhaps the only, edifying thing about a tipsy man is the manner in which he tells you what a noble little woman he has married. He sheds crocodile tears over his own unworthiness and is neither disconcerted nor hushed when you heartily agree with him. Women, however, who are cold sober and never have been in any other state, will shout their marital devotion to any and all audiences. They regale you with a full story of the billings and cooings that goon in the family nest. You will be wise to suspect them for they are almost invariably dissemblers. In any event, a good conversational manual for wives ought to

sell well and relieve the rigors of the social season. There are two topics it would taboo, I thinkdiets and husbands. Surely we assume a too deep interest from our public when we imagine everybody is concerned over our avoirdupois and delignted over our domestic bliss. What possible excitement does anybody else feel over how fat or thin we are. and although the company may be vastly entertained by our plans for keeping a husband under control, the husband. I feel sure, would not enjoy hearing himself dissected for the edification of tea guests. Now I am as fond of a good dish of gossip as the next woman. Show me a person who isn't and I'll show you a first-class liar. I don't mind hearing mothers talk about their babies, or mqn talk about their business, but I hope I -diall live to see the day when I can meet one woman who diets without talking about it and when I may enter into the millennium in which good wives will be dignified
