.' Family Should Show “ Its Appreciation
By RUTH MILLETT NEA Staff Writer “WHY 18 IT that the chil. dren of a working mother never seem to be as appreciative of what she does for their welfare by earning a pay check as are the children of a stay-at-home mother whose only contribution is in the field of homemaking?” asks a working mother. She adds: “My own daughter is 14 and she always seems impressed with the mothers of ® her friends, who keep the cookie jar filled with homemade cookies, make their dresses for them, etc. I work because if we lived on my husband’s pay check we couldn't afford a house in a good neighborhood, and couldn't dress our daughter as well as the other children in her room at school. Yet my daughter doesn't seem to realize that I am working for her just as much as the mothers who don’t have jobs work for their children.” A working mother must face the fact that unless she sets her children straight they probe ably won't feel that she is doing as much for them as a stay-at-home mother would. » ” ad
THE FATHER should do this, but most fathers don’t. It's easy for a man to Jralie “ homemaking line, doesn't damage his own ego. A father can say to a daughter, “You've certainly got a smart mother to make you such a pretty dress.” But he isn't likely to say, “You've certainly got a smart mother to earn you & new pair of shoes.” So unless the working mother tells the children herself that she is working for their welfare, that fact may escape them for a good many years. Putting across the idea without letting the father down is, of course, a ticklish problem, But it can be done, And it should be done. For as more and more married women assumé part of the burden of earning the family living it be comes increasingly important that the children in such famflies have reapect for the mother's job. If they don't, they are bound to feel neglected and to regard their mother as something of a failure, That is not only unfair to the working mother, but bad for * her children, 8o the working mother's pay checks must be acknowledged by the family as just as important to the famfly's welfare as the stay-at-home mother’s more traditional * contribution to the family's happiness.

By CLAIRE COX United Press Staff Corresvondent NEW YORK, May 31-A record field of more than 300 blueblooded bellés have gone into summer training in night clubs and dress shops for the annual running of New York's society sweepstakes. The girls are champing at the bit to run their pretty legs off for the glamorous grand prize— the title of No. 1 debutante of the year, and tests, cold cream indorsements and dates with playboys that come with it.
The Debutante Derby, run on a course from Park Ave, to Fifth Ave, with pauses for refreshment at the Little Club, the Stork Club, 21 and all the other stylish nighteries, officlally begins with the pop of a champagne cork about Sept. 1. But the girls already have started grooming themselves in satin, mink and ermine racing colors and many have set the dates for their sumptuous debut.
Becomes Big Industry
Debut parties, with all their attendant teas, cocktail parties, dinner parties and other festivities, rapidly are becoming a $1 million industry in New York alone, according to Ted Howard, who regards himself as the “Old Ben Jones” of the blue book crowd. Mr. Howard is a dark and handsome public relations man who credits himself with discovering beautiful Joanne Con-
nelley, the dressmaker’'s daughter who became last year's

Pretty soon the girl is famous, and sort of automatically becomes the No. 1 deb by the acclamation of society columnists and night club editors.

Mr. Howard is betting alf’his caviar this year on a petite blond named Mary Jane Lansburgh, whose father made his cabbage in the dog food business and owns a stable of race horses. He's getting her all groomed up for the sweepstakes with a new method of deb training.

This time his potential No, 1 deb is going find something to do besides go to night clubs. She will be seen also at race tracks, supervising her own stable of ponies. 8he will enter college and study while the other girls are racing from bar to bar, Mr. Howard said.
‘‘She’s going to start off in a very quiet way with a birthday party at a big hotel,” he said. “Then she goes to Gloucester, Mass, to head a procession for the blessing of the Portuguese fleet. We'll plan the rest when she comes back, but it's going to be dignified.”
In most cases, Mr. Howard added, mothers supervise their daughter's efforts to be the top deb, but he doesn't believe mama knows best.
“If mother is going to spend all that money to get her girl into circulation, why shouldn't she spend a little more and launch her daughter right, unless she's a homely girl. The homely ones get lost in the shuffle no matter what happena.”
