Ruling in Child Case Questioned Few Mothers Likely Will Uphold Vanderbilt Suit Decision. BV EVELYN SI.ELEY Tm |prri*l HriUf New YORK. Nov. 21—1 doubt that many mothers mere warmed by the court decision that little Gloria Vanderbilt shall remain in the custody of her aunt rather than return to her mother. Mrs. Harry' Payne Whitney hid h r r elation; Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt went to bed 111. Judge Carew's decision, as he aaid, Gertrude stcmishly. "was designed for what It was designed for,” but I think most mothers doubt that It means Glorias ultimate happiness. In the first place, most mothers ha%e a sort of mystic belief—which they can not intellectually defend — that, no matter what occurs, a child belongs to her mother. There is a strong emotional, instinctive bond which it is dangerous to break. Bit. more than that, many mothers will question whether the' court proved beyond the shadow of i a doubt that Gloria Vanderbilt was a poor mother. It was testified, mainly by servants, that she drank at times and once gave some gm to little Gloria; that she played about with several young men; that her Continental peregrinations moved little Gloria from place to place, giving! her no real home, no continued i schooling, no roots.

Exposed to Liquor I don't know any mother anywhere who thinks that gm is good for a child or who would want her child to drink it. But I know a r mber of modem crildren who at some time or other have had a sip of some guest's cocktail. Apparently that little sip did not hurt them, nor are any of them grow mg up into miniature drunkIf a child wanders into her mother s cocktail party and. just for thf fun of it. asks for a sip out of someone's glass, isn't it possible it s wiser to let her have it than to have it withheld as a grownup's forbidden delight that she will thereafter covet? She is almost certain to dislike the taste of liquor, anvway. We are not Gloria Vanderbilts, but we have friends with children who do not always want to go and piav in the garden while the cocktails are going around. Sometimes they want to share the party. The son tble mothers we know merely give the child a cocktail for her own lemonade or ginger ale, with which Is delighted. But either course, chosen thoughtfu.ly for the child's social developm< nt, would sound badly in the cold legal terminology of court. As to Mrs. Vanderbilt's men friends it Is too much to expect that a beautiful young widow should have no men around at all. And a child would see no harm in their presence unless it were so construed. Ills of Moving Questionable The pro-Whitney faction leaned heavily on the fact that Mrs. Vanderbilt moved about from place to place. What they portrayed as a major menace probably hurt Gloria not at all. Most children love moving. It is exciting and interesting. It is educational, and it makes them adaptable—trains them to adjust themselves to new environments, new situations, new children. The children of theater folk are always on the move. They live in trunks and take their schooling where they may, or are left at schol by themselves. They seem to torn out all right. It is not the physical moving days that have disturbed little Gloria, I think, or that will continue to disturb her. But emotional moving days are more than a child should be asked to stand.

A Woman’s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGLSON

SOMEHOW or other we have acquired the habit of going gingerly round a social problem w hile we sedulously avoid its core. This saves us a great deal of unpleasant readjustment but almost never improves conditions. A case in point is the administration s home improvement project which, on the surface, appears such an excellent idea, although w ithout half trying, we should be able to see, evades the true issue, our reason for needing it. That reason is taxation. The small home owner has not been able to put a nickel into his place for years because it takes all he can rake and scrape, after living expenses are met, to pay the taxes. Now he’s urged to borrow more money to fix up his house, so that its value will be increased which, in many cases, ultimately raises his taxes again. Thus the poor creature is attacked on all fronts, for unless business improves quickly or a million politicians die off, he’ll probably have to move out anyway. The very statement you hear on every side, “It’s cheaper to rent than to buy,” tells its own dreadful story. A definite reaction against the taxing of small homes is certain and the sooner it comes the better. In the past men have made huge fortunes, quite legitimately, to be sure, and all in the name of civic

progress, by building houses and apartments for rent or quick sale. We called that prosperity. But the number of men who have planned and built homes, places to live in themselves, have grown fewer each year. No other book has moved our emotions like Edward Everett Hale's “A Man Without a Country,” yet, in the truest sense of the phrase, the man without a home is a man without a country. The two words are synonymous because the very essence of one's love for native land flowers from the attachment one feels for that little part of it which is home. In my opinion, we can’t raise many generations who lack home ties and expect to endure as a great nation.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Do too need help wilh ronr problem*? Pot them in a letter to Jane Jordan who will study your case and answer your questions in this column. Dear Jane Jordan —I am a married woman, 28 years old. Three yea vs ago I met a man who has treated me with kindness and made

it possible for me to look on the world as a beautiful place to live in. Previous to meeting him I felt I had only one thing to live for, my boy, who now is away at school. He is receiving a wonderful education made possible by this same man. My husband knows where and when I met

this man. He does not object to my seeing him. At present I am working as I have my mother to care for. I have learned that the other man is married also and has two children. Should I or should I not discontinue this friendship which has grown into a deep and everlasting love? He says he loves me and never will give me up. He says that if we do what we think is the right thing everything will come out all right for us. This situation calls for action as I am desperate as to what to do. I do not want to hurt anybody. I shall welcome any advice, I assure you. VERY UNHAPPY. Answer—l have no advice to give. Your letter only proves the point I have made again and again —that the marriage of three is not a workable arrangement. You ire trying to cling to two husbands. Your lover is trying to cling to two wives. In our civilization such a situation is fraught with dynamite. But I can not help you rearrange your situation into twosomes instead of threesomes. In many modern marriages the partners bend over backward to give each other freedom which the unconscious really does not want.

The marriage of two, while extremely imperfect, is the outcome of the best wisdom of the race. All efforts to improve on it by annexing a third party have been fruitless. Take your case, for example. Instead of honoring your husband for what to some viewpoints is a tolerant attitude, you regard him as deficient in masculinity because he can not guard his own against intruders. You put a higher value on your dishonest relationship than on your honest arrangement with your husband. I say honest because you have not deceived him. You still deceive society. I take it that you intended to keep your lover in a secondary position, but you find that he occupies the primary place after all. The mechanics of rearrangement is up to you and the people whom such arrangement would affect. a a a Dear Jane Jordon—l have known a boy for three years. Last year he said he loved me and showed it in his actions. We have gone many places together. Last summer he did not see me as often as usual and finally dropped off to once a week. He never comes over in the evening any more. I am considered good looking and good company. I do not go in for petting, and neither does he. I have great faith in you and hope you can tell me what I have have done and what I can do to win him back. X. Y. Z. Answer—l don’t know what you have done to make him lose interest. Probably nothing. He just wants a change. If you are smart you will make an effort to get him back, but consider the advantages of change for yourself. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—ln last week’s Times someone sent a letter to you signed Babs and Betty. My name is Betty and my girl friend's name is Babs, but we did not send in that letter. Every one is panning us about it and we can’t seem to clear ourselves. I wonder if you will be a pal
