DEAR MRS. ADAM: Both the good man and the devil seem to be in the child of 4. I get so many letters from mothers about chidiren of this age, To me, it is the most interesting age of all, because it is the time of rebirth, so to say, when the “baby” hegins to realize he is not an automaton but a person. He loses the habit of thinking he is a little tyke molded from plastic clay exactly as his mother wants him, and finds himself, instead, a creature that thinks, invents, feels and posSesses self-importance. The pre-school child seems to have almost the whole stage when it comes to child-handling. And rightly so, because what the child is before 6, and I would put it at 4 or 5, he will be for the rest of his life, more or less. » » » » 8 8
IT IS ACTUALLY TRUE that the child is father to the man and mother to the woman, Patterns are set, my dear, when the child is young, the iron malleable, and the treatment now given makes an impression that will last, Your Sammy is not in the least unusual. He is both “bad” and “good.” You cannot see the good, perhaps, but it is there, He will be impressed by your little talks and stories. He will be inclined to sympathy if you can dig it out. He will be very affectionate. You can reach him, if you are canny, through these attributes. He may want to give away valuable things, Unless it works a real hardship on you, permit him to be as generous as possible, He means to feed his growing ego. Better this than to go out and punch someone or destroy things. Destruction is often merely a bid for attention. He now demands much looking at, much praise, ‘much being the center of things. = 8 o o LJ ” INSTEAD OF MAKING him the center of wrangles and mistakes, of punishments and shaming, you may be able to reach his better side through ‘praise of things that he does rather well, Praise at this time is priceless. It makes him feel important through the right agencies rather than the wrong ones. He has to be disciplined. But in no case should his punishment cut too deeply into his pride. Don't hag too much. Keep him very, very busy. Yours sincerely, OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—My husband left me four months ago for another woman, leaving me with three children. She left a husband and two little girls. She came back three weeks ago, and last week he came home but says it is only temporary as he means to go to her some day. I love him very much in spite of what he has done to me and would do most anything to keep him. But he says he hates me and doesn't see how he ever can change. He won't talk #0 us only when he has to and of course that is very unpleasant. He says he came

all kinds of things. He always has been very jealous. DISCOURAGED.
Answer—Your husband says he hates you. Perhaps he does. It is an old human custom to hate those whom we have injured. The man has to justify himself in some way for his desertion; the most natural excuse is to claim that he hates you and loves another. But I wonder if it is true. His flight from reality didn't bring the satisfaction he expected. Both he and the woman who ran away <with him fouhd the ties of home &nd children to be stronger than they expected.

The temptation to gloat over their mistake is very great. It is hard not to say, “I told you so.” Your hushand’s ‘pride has taken a terrible tumble. He ran away to revenge himself on you for real or fancied slights, but you are the one who reaped the benefits of re=venge, for he had to come creeping back, a failure, In his humiliation he is obliged to defend himself by insisting that he is still in love. that he will not stay, that he came back for his daughter, that he hates his wife. You can help him by saving his pride whenever you can. We have a right to suspect that any strong emstion was whipped up to conceal its opposite. Hate is often just another word for wounded Jove. It is quite possible to feel love and hate for the same person. At the moment love is repressed and hatred uppermost. I do not know whether your husband will be able to repress his antagonism against you and release some of the affection he used to feel or not. All vou can do is to make him as comfortable as ‘possible and refrain from adding to his discomfort by criticism. Try to be cheerful and impersonal although he is gloomy and silent. Don't whack th: other woman so that he ‘is obliged to defend her. Don t speak of your love for him since this only increases the burden of his guilt, Your best bet is to assume a friendly attitude and to drop all discussion of the incident. I suggest that you co-operate ‘for the sake of the children until something can be worked out. When the emotions clustering around this situation have died down, you may find the man more
