Capital Capers—

Washington Sees A Magnificent Display Of Very Bad Manners

By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON, Apr. 28 — How to Survive Though Living in Washington should be the subject of an-official document. This theme has particular force this week as the capital is recovering from . the invasions of Gen. MacArthur, the | Daughters of the American Revolution and various other visitors. One helpful solution would be the virtual elimination of & social life, a plan which has been adopted by pretty Rosemary Smathers, wife of the new Senator from Florida. Mrs. weary and worn after her husband's hectic campaign against former Sen. Claude Pepper last year, attempted to take up the social routine as before, and found herself in a state of anemia and utter exhaustion. Her doctor gave her very simple instructions: “Stop going to parties.” Mrs. Smathers says she followed them. Feels wonderful now, and the Senator is perfectly happy too. He'd rather spend the extra time working, anyway, Mrs. Smathers has two sons, seven and nine. She takes care of the children entirely by herself, is always home

- governess, and a Negro maid.

The life of a Senator's wife is most difficult for those younger women who have young children to cope with on top of everything else. It is hard enough, but not nearly so bad, for the older ladies whose children are grown. D. C. 'Etiquet’ THE MOST magnificent display of bad manners ever observed in a town where there are many examples occurred at a dinner party last week at which the Secretary of State Dean Acheson spoke. At one table were sitting Republican Senators Bourke B. Hickenlooper of Iowa, of Washington and Herman Welker of Idaho. As Mr. Acheson was intro- | duced, the roomful of guests ! rose in polite tribute to the | office if not the man. The above mentioned Senators did | not rise. And during the speech, being what. they obviously | thought was too amusing for | words, Messrs. Cain and Welker puffed at corncob "pipes of the

The Mature Parent—

Welcome Child Back Home When Punishment's Over

By MURIEL LAWRENCE i THERE WAS NO DOUBT about it—8-year-old Harry Brown could not learn from punishment. His mother had tried them all: The dignified silence treatment, the chair-sitting sessions, bed-without-supper routines, the dessert

denials.

Harry would say, “Yes I'm sorry I was a bad boy,” —and

then go out and be bad again three days later.

Gers ssEsR IRE IRR RRs

. One afternoon, Mrs. Brown | crossed the American parents’ 38th Parallel. After irry had

defied his father's orders not to touch his new tool box and smashed its lock, his mother administered a good, old - fashioned spanking. 1 It was a shattering experience. She was still trembling when she placed the roast on the table before her. husband and called her child to dinner. As Harry sat down, Mrs. Brown said: “Before your father cuts your meat, tell him you are sorry you were disobedient.”

When Harry had said it, Mrs. Brown began: “What do you think, Harold, of a child who deliberately defies a good mother and father. To hurt the people who love you—that’'s what I can never understand. What is going to happen to a boy who won't obey his parents Suffering, that's what. When I think of the millions of little

{ not have good homes. . ..

”»

And so on. We have said it ourselves a thousand times. We should have made the first

time the last time.

Harry could not possibly learn from a new punishment. He was kept too busy defending himself against his mother's post-mortems on the last one.

His Feelings WHEN A CHILD has heen

punished, punishment should be

over. IL.et me repeat. When your child has paid his penalty for doing wrong, he should be restored to his place in your affections. Right away. If he is sorry he has done wrong, that's his business. His feelings about what has happened are his affair. If we mind our own business, he may confide his business to us on his own accord. Don't let's fool ourselves. Our post-mortem lectures, our overeagerness for the promises to be good, are attempts to get our youngsters to reassure us our discipline has been successful. If we have done what we helieve is right, we shouldn't need arivone’'s reassurance,

The child who does wrong has ’

separated himself from those he loves. He is alone. When he is punished, he is removed a little farther; he is more-lonely. He cannot tell us that. His welcome home should be a welcome, That's our best guarantee he won't go too far away

again.

sort Gen. MacArthur immortalized. This is the kind of behavior which leads people to conclude that the words ‘“politicilan” and “gentleman” cannot ever be applied to the same man.

Loves a Crisis

PINK CACTUS and Gen. MacArthur were the principal topics of conversation at an elegant luncheon given by Mrs. Joseph [E. Davies recently. Though “elegant” is an inadequate word to describe any of Mrs. Davies’ opulent opera-

tions, the pink cactus and enormous Easter lilies were part of the floral decor. And

the ladies talked of nothing else but MacArthur, and were about equally divided.

They included Mme Munthe de Morgenstierne, wife of the Norwegian ambassador and dean of the diplomatic corps; Mme. Wellington Koo, wife of the Nationalist ambassador; Mrs. John Snyder, wife of the

Daisy Harriman, our former minister to Norway, and Mrs. Morris Cafritz, wife of the Washington real estate king. Mrs. Cafritz’s contribution had the usual flavor she gives to burning topics of the day. She would not say whether she was pro or anti MacArthur, “I just love a crisis,” she burbled happily. “Don’t you just love a crisis?” .

‘Exaggerated’

A MOST fascinating document in the folklore of American politicians reposes in Asheville, N. C. It was written by Texas Tom, the Connally — that is, the senior Senator from the great principality or I'exas, and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The Pack Memorial Library in Asheville was getting together an exhibit of Carl Sand-burgiana-—manuscripts, letters, documents by and about the great American poet, who now lives on the outskirts of Asheville. Among the notables from

whom the library requested statements was Sen. Connally. Like Us?

This was his reply: “My dear sir: The entire nation mourns the recent passing of our beloved poet, Carl Sandburg, who illuminated for us the rich heritage of our American Past and the living spirit of freedom

which sets our people apart in the world. “While no words of mine can add lustre to his immortal fame, I am glad to join with your people of Asheville in paying personal tribute to your late neighbor and friend.”

Mr. Sandburg roared with

laughter when he read this gem.
