CHILDREN
ONE OF MY o
spondents has asked me about leaving a child at home ~u the evening. The child in this case is a : old boy. Ci hon ‘not afraid and normal in every respect. Is it all right to leave him once in a long while at home in the eve - ning, for a couple of hours, to play the radio, to study or perhaps to have \in g friend or two for company? ‘When I am asked to solve a problem like this, I have to scratch my head. You see, I, too, am a mother, and my natural tendency is to take no chances. Yet, my own common sense tells me that ‘Woman make mistakes, often, on the side of complete safety. I shall have to start a forum on it and show both sides. We shall call this boy Sam. I don’t know his name, sa 8 = ® ® 8» living, Sam will dramatize himself, most likely, and be .anything - from Jesse James to. Don Ameche. I am not told whether this lad - is blessed (or otherwise) with histrionic qualities .or not, or whether he can change in a twinkling from a sea captain to an entombed * - miner, Probably ‘can. - This has some bearing on his conduct, Tou see, when he = alone. The spirit may move him to move the . ouse., However, let say that everything is safe on that score and all the swords and pistols are put away. And let us assume t the . -neighborhood is safe, also. The neighbors are-only 20 feet away, or maybe less than that, if Sam’s parents liye in an apartment. This out of the road, we can go on. on’t think it too great a risk to leave Sam for an hour or twe he he early evening. He should not be alone after nine or 9:30 at the very latest. : Tie. a » ss = =

It has been dark since 5, say, and the children have been alone since school let out. Yes, if it does not Beegine a ha it, I think Sam will be O. K.

‘JANE JORDAN
' DEAR JANE JORDAN—I have been married three years and we’
live with my mother-in-law. My husband lost his job a few months. after we were married. He does not look for work and won't let me. Otherwise he is good to me. Should I go back home? We have no children, and this is not my idea of married life. fo = DISGUSTED.
| Answer—Would it improve your situation any to go back to your
parents? I think you will find that your status at home has changed.
You're no- longer a young'girl* entitled to support while she is looking for a husband, but a married woman who has made a failure, No matter how sympathetic your Dafents may be, things Just aren't the same. i For one thing your position in your: group ‘of friends is different. Your ‘former hoy friends can’t call on you because you're married.
You can't go out with the gang. - With the young married crowd,
you're an extra woman not free to make new contacts. You'd be just about as lonely at home as you are now. Wherever you Stay, work is the best solution to your problem, | Doubtless it hurts your husband's pride to have his wife work. Nevertheless, if he won't try, what else can you do? Perhaps if you over-ruled his objections and looked for a. job.it would arouse him to go and do likewise. If a man can’t earn a living and his wife | has the courage to gét out and earn something, what can he do ahout it except prove himself to be as capable. -

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am writing you about the woman with
four children who does her own work and wants some recreation and ‘release. Heaven knows 1 can’t blame hér for wanting a change. I
have help and only three small children but sometimes I think I
-am in a zoo! One of my friends has six children, and ‘every four months she uns away to return in three or four. da, s, refreshed and ready to begin again. Caring for ‘a house is good, stiff work. Caring for small children, too, is sumpin’. It's the nerve strain more than the back strain! In the “good old days” of large families, most households had an old aunt or a homeless cousin or a grandmother to help mother. Hasn't this poor woman someone like that who would be glad to have her board and room in exchange for helping? Even a neighbor girl called in once a week could be the means of a peaceful few ours. s This woman merits some freedom, for frazzled mothers make snappish children and it creates a vicious circle. When I grew impatient at the hospital after the birth of my last baby, the doctor said, “You'd better make the most of your rest. It's the last you'll get for years!”
Let me reassure your correspondent. She's not an unnatural
&
get a relative or meighbor to sit with the children once in a while
before she. is too exhausted to have any recreation. Here's all my
sympathy and hope. FROM ONE MOTHER TO ANOTHER.
_Answer—The trouble with our correspondent is that she lives in the country where neighbors are few and far betw and transportation with a car is difficult. I imagine that the homeless aunt or cousin of yesteryear has a snappy office job and works about a tenth as hard as the mother of four who does all her own work. JANE JORDAN.

There has been widespread recognition of the “cause” that motivates all activity within: the settle~ ment’s rambling walls, set down in the midst of ‘the human misery of Chicago's tenement district. But Miss Carr emphasizes that. Hull House brings more to the less fortunate than mere food, and happiness, entertainment and education. “It thrives on the spirit of Jane Addams,” -she explains. “It is a spirit incomparable in its love of people for their own sake, in its tolerance, self-forgetfulness and instruction in genuine human concepts.” Today it is the spirit of Miss

Miss Cart expects the celebration in May to be as much a dedication to the next 50 years as an appraisal of the last 50 years at Hull House. The Hull House equipment is valued at nearly $2,000,000 and the attendance at settlement activities last year was 400,000 persons. 5 House Is Melting Pot

THE BEAUTY EXPERTS ‘have ‘at long last decided to take seri--ously the grooming.:problems of very young girls. There's to be no more of the casual attitude toward what to do with hair when the braids must go; how to eliminate blemishés; what to do about adolescent posture which causes a protruding stomach or, in the case of the thin child, a hollow-chested look. One important beauty salon has a special sub-deb “which specializes in the hair

If the braids are thin, the hair fine and silky, a loose permanen{ ‘wave is put in the ends and, after the hair has been set and dried, these are brushed softly downward over the finger. Center parts are for round, full faces, the sub-deb salon points out. Side parts are best for long, thin faces. Bangs often tend to make the long face appear to be shorter. Topknots of curls and other arrangements which make for height just above the forehead are not for the long-faced. ». The chief point stressed, how=ever, is the importance of retaining individuality. The 15-year-old should have her hair dressed to dramatize her own best features, regardless of what others he a class are doing with their a
