Riot Leaves Old Mansion Unscpthed

Mott Home Located in Heart of New York’s Harlem Area. BY HELEN WORDEN Ttnjfs Special Writer N r EW YORK, March 21.—With the dignity of a Victorian great lady the ancient red and, brown mansard-roofed Jordan L. Mott residence at 130th-st and sthav has resolutely ignored the Harlem race riots which surged to the south and west of its wrought iron gates early yesterday morning and Tuesday night. Sniping and looting Porto Rican and Negro mobs have no part in its scheme of life. Windows had been washed yesterday. Steps scrubbed and doorbells shined. Tender young shoots from daffodil and hyacinth bulbs added fresh green to the big garden. Tiny yellow crocuses blossomed at the roots of budding maples and from the branches of a tree a robin sang. Grocer Complains Mingling with the song of the robin was the shattering sound of breaking glass. B. Solomon was sweeping the sidewalk in front of his grocery at 2100 sth-av. “Yes,” he said, “my windows w'ere smashed early this morning and the mob stole $l5O worth of food!" “No,” said 'Miss Margaret Alexander. W'ho has been many years with Mrs. Charles Fraser Mac Lean, owner of the Mott mansion, “Mrs. Mac Lean was not disturbed by the rioting. She said she slept very well last night!” She was taking a nap. however when I rang the door bell. “She rests a little after luncheon, each day,” explained Miss Alexander. “She lay down earlier this afternoon, because the women of our Sabbath Alliance are coming at 3:30. She vcants to be nice and bright for them!” • Fine Homes Recalled The Jordan L. 'Mott house Is a landmark of old Harlem, and the Motts and the Mac Leans, members,, of New York’s first families. • Mrs. Mac Lean remembers her neighborhood when all the streets were lined with fine houses. • Today she is in the heart of the black belt. Young Liberators, communists of the district parade the district. “Perhaps you’ll come for luncheon next week,” Miss Alexander said, “and talk with Mrs. Mac Lean about old Harlem!” Tw r o policemen stationed on the corner and B. Solomon’s broken window's were all that gave evidence of the race riots yesterday. “But this ain’t nothing," said Smith Williams, Negro taxi driver. “Lenox and 129th-st am a wreck!” NARRATORS SET BENEFIT PARTY The Narrators will sponsor their first charity bridge party at the Banner-Whitehill auditorium Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Kenneth L. Dotterer is general chairman; Mrs. F. M. McKinstray, 'chairman of arrangements, assisted by Mrs. John E. Hall and Mrs. Paul Duckwall.

Manners and Morals

What Is the situation which irks you most? Put your problem In a letter to Jane Jordan today and read her comments in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—l have a wonderful husband and two lovely children. I guess I should be happy but my husband’s mother is entirely dependeat. We have had her with

us for seven years. All I ask is that she visit her daughter from time to time to relieve me of the strain of having her always. Whenever I suggest this to the daughter there is a row and she tells me it inconveniences her too much to have her mother with her. I am

thinking of taking my children and leaving as this is getting on my nerves. My husband is unreasonable in this respect, too. Would you ihrow everything to the winds and leave, or stick it out and ruin my chances of happiness and the children’s? DISCOURAGED Answer—ln my opinion you would be an exceptionally foolish woman to leave a satisfactory husband and uproot a couple of blameless children simply because you dislike your husband’s mother around the house. At some time or other everybody gets desperately fed up on the situations in his life and toys with the idea of walking out on the whole business. The annoying thing about this method is that you simply walk into another irksome combination, for there is no panacea for the ills of life and no place to go where injustices will not pop up. Into every life there comes, sooner or later, a situation in which no rearrangement is possible. This is particularly true of family relationships. Cowards run. The weak develop defense neuroses. The hardy simply put up with

things as they are and make the most of what is left to enjoy. Os course your sister-in-law-should do her share. But you can’t force her to do so. Os course your husband should appreciate your feeling, but he is bound by emotional ties of long standing, not to speak of a strong sense of duty. Your husband can not find it very pleasant to be torn between you, his sister and his mother. And what a life for the old lady who is unable to help any of it! You are not the sole sufferer in the web of circumstance. Both your husband and his mother must have their moments of longing to walk out. too. But they can not. Can you? Dear Jane Jordan—l am 16 years old and a junior in high school. Since September I have been interested in a fellow' of 23. My parents do not approve of my going out with him. I think of him all the time and I must see him and go out with him. Am I too young? And if not. how am I going to see him? Please try to help me? . BUNNY Answer—lt would be a pretty smart thing for you to try to interest yourself in many boys your own age instead of picking one so much older. If you will be guided by your parents in this matter, you may come to see the wisdom of their suggestion later on. Dear Jane Jordan—l never had a chance w'hen going to school to do the things I longed to do. When I was 18 I fell in love with a young man and married him. A girl could not be more proud of or more in love with her husband than I. am. He has a good job and we have a nice little apartment and we are really happy. But here is what puzzles me. I always wanted to be a good musician; so he bought me a new' piano just like I’ve always wanted and I have been taking lessons. I am getting along fine and everybody seems amazed at how quickly I am learning. My husband is crazy about children and w’ould love to have one of

B. Chapman w-as in charge of the program. his own; so would I. Should I forget about what I want to be and become a mother or what? A WIFE Answer—l don’t see what there is about motherhood which would keep you from being a musician. Os course if you have a whole houseful and have to do your own work, you wouldn’t have any time to practice. But if you can afford to have a little help, why couldn’t you go on with your lessons, all the better for having a baby. I imagine that both you and your husband would feel considerably cheated if you refrained from having children because you preferred to study music.
