OU'VE probably heard of people walking a mile for a Camel. Yesterday, around noon, Cecil Byrne walked over a mile for a camel and an elephant. He didn't take the creatures out for air because it

was such a springy day. Mr, Byrne was simply trying to remind Indianapolis that the Shrine Seas is i Sowa. wilh ning today, the circus ne the 13th of this month in the Murat.

Dinner passed and the husband still waited. He insisted on washing thé dishes and doing every chore -customarily done by his wife. Finally, Mrs. . Price couldn't stand this pampering any longer and suspiciously said to him, “George, you've done something wrong and are soft-soap-ing before telling me about it. What is it?” Noth'ng was answered. When Mrs. Price picked up her knit-

The Mature Parent—

Sensitivity

By MURIEL LAWRENCE FOr a long minute Mrs. Jones stands at the bathroom door. She notes the puddle under the dripping washcloth, the

damp towel flung on the hamper, the

talcum all over the mat. Then, making her voice amiable, she calls down the hall, don't intend to go out tonight leaving the bath-

room like this, do you?” There's no answer. Mrs, Jones walks to the open door of the bedroom where her daughter is absorbed in removing hair curlers. “I, asked you a question,” her mother tells her. “I asked if you planned to go to a movie tonight and leave me to tidy up this disgraceful bathroom?” ’ Jan does not look at her mother. “I'm in a hurry now,” she says. “If I get home in time, I'll fix it.” * & o

MRS. JONES looks at the averted face, the jaw line, the nose of which Jan's grandmother, aunts and uncle have so often said, “It's the child's best feature. What a mercy she has the ‘Jones nose’

instead of yours, Alice!”

And Mrs. Jones, her eyes on the child who so resembles her father’s family thinks, not a Jones just in looks, my dear. You're one by nature. Take, take, take—but never give anything in return. Just get other people to solve

your problems for you . . . : ® 4 ¢

WITH SUCH thoughts in her mind, she finds it impossible to maintain her careful pretense of good feeling toward her child. When she says, her voice harsh, “Date or no date, you'll not put a foot out of this house tonight until you clean up that bathroom,” Jan flings down her hair.

to Hated Traits

“I'm not a child,” Jan begins, her eyes blazing, “I'm old enough to go where I please and ,,." And Jan and her mother are off on one of their scenes. It is wrong for people of 16 to leave bath. rooms in disorder, It is irresponsible of them, It is also wrong for us to react to such irrespons sibility with violence. Though it is reasonable for Mrs. Jones to feel disappointment and annoyance at the bathroom’s condition, it is not reasonable for her to feel fury. Why does she feel it? Does she have any especially violent emotions toward the trait of irresponsibility? * % o

SHE DOES, indeed. For years, Mrs. Jones has been furious with her in-laws’ irresponsible habit of borrowing money from her husband. Jan’s physical resemblance to her father’s people made her mother unduly sensitive to any trace of the hated trait in her. As a result, Jan was never permitted normal carelessness as a little girl. To Mrs. Jones, a lost hair-ribbon could never be just that; like the untidy bathroom, it bee came a symbol of injustices put on her by other people’s shortcomings.

>. 9 IT IS NOT at all unusual for us to criticize children for traits they seem to share with people whom we dislike. If I have had a bad time with someone who les, I can develop a crusading zeal against evasiveness that makes life very tough for the little son who refuses to admit that he sneaked the last lollipop in the candy bottle. If a youngster's mistake fills us with unusual fear or anger, it's not a bad idea to ask ourselves if we're reacting from the undigested emotions we still feel for someone he reminds us of.

Were Mrs. Jones not propelled by special feelings for irresponsibility, she would have stood at the door of the bathroom and called down the hall, “This bathroom’s awful, darling. Do something about it before you leave.” And that would have been that.
