thin ones have been used during th
summer, or if the heavier ones happen to have become soiled and th need washing now, it is reassuring to know that there is a right, and
easy, way to.clean them at home. Wash one at a time on a day when there is good “drying weather.” Shake the blanket well, to remove loose dust: Next rub the binding, which always shows more soil, with a brush and mild, lukewarm suds. Then it is time to place the blanket in your household washer. Have it ready, filled with soft, lukewarm water, work up a rich suds with plenty of mild soap, keep ‘the ‘washer running and drop in the blanket. Wash it no more han three minutes. Brief washing should be enough, since no blanket should be allowed to become more ‘than a little soiled. But if longer washing is needed, 1ift out the blanket carefully, drain the water, work up another tub of good suds and repeat, again no more than three minutes. Rinse two or times in water of the same ‘temperature. Put the blanket through’ the extractor or a very loosely adjusted wringer.

Children Should Change Lives Of Parents
By RUTH MILLETT “WE AREN'T going to let a child make any difference in our lives,” is a popular boast among young parents-to-be.
JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a young man of almost 20, For two years I have been in love with a girl of almost 15. Four years and nine months separate us. She has the usual puppy love cases with boys in her class at school. I really don’t believe that she hates
' me but I have found out in round about ways that she thinks I am
100 old for her. At our ages she may be right; I do not know. However, this does not diminish my love for her. I have had one year of college and I am now working in an office. I ask your advice but please dq not tell me, as others have, that I should go with other girls and forget her. I have tried that. For the entire two years that I have loved her I have gone with other girls at least once a week. 1 have had only three dates with her because she doesn’t like to go with me. How can I win her love? Is there any danger that I would just be another of her puppy loves if I won her, young as she is? —E. D. , » » ” ” ” ”» » Answer—This means that at the age of 17 you fell in love with a girl of 12. Have you ever wondered why you were attracted to one so markedly younger when other boys were competing for girls of their own age? Could it be that you are more or less afraid of your equals and it seems easier for you to win a child? On the surface it looks more difficult since the difference in your ages constitutes a handicap to courtship. But this very fact gives you an excuse not to push the issue in too aggressive a manner. It keeps the girl at a distance and you may feel safer in admiring a somewhat remote ideal. At any rate it prevents you from plunging into the swim with your crowd. To be sure you have dated other girls but in such a half-hearted manner that you did not even want to succeed. In other words, you'd rather dream about a conquest than make one and the girl's immaturity makes your inactivity plausible to others and yourself. This may sound somewhat involved to you but it is worth your consideration. I believe that a boy with a sound ego would pass up cradle candidates, no matter how cute, and take the risk of striving for more difficult game on his own level. He would set an obtainable goal and go after it. As it is the 15-year-old looks up to you as an older man and is a little afraid of your society, all of which makes you feel bigger and stronger and more masculine. But you should not need this type of reassurance. You should have more faith in your own powers. I just wonder if fear of older girls isn’t back of your choice. JANE JORDAN.

Of course, the child DOES make a difference, in spite of their determination not to let it. But it is too bad for young folks to go into parenthood with that attitude, anyway -— even though they can’t completely hold to it. For what is the use of a couple having children, taking on all that responsibility and burdening themselves financialiy for years to come — if they don’t intend for the children to make ‘any dif ference in their lives? No, if they are going to selves in for at least 20 years active parenthood, they should do so because they feel that children | will make a great and worthwhile difference in their lives. Parents with that attitude make better and happier homes for their children. They get far more from family life than do parents who feel that the less children change the pattern of their lives, the more successful they are as parents. :
FOR THE HAPPY families are {those which put family life first. | They are the ones where the welfare and comfort of every member of the family is considered before a house is built, a car is bought, or a pattern for social life set. If they are a musical family, they
