The Rights of Parents
They Have Rights and Children Have
Rights; There Should be
Compromise.
by Beatrice Fairfax.

H1HE great majority Of parents
may be divided into two classes:
Those ruinOusly indulgent, and
those who never remember the DAYS
Of their youth. and are selfish and
tyrannicaI
The parents have their rights: The
rights to quiet hours, undisturbed
evenings and OCCASIONAL possession of
rights: The right TO dance and sing
and be surrounded by its kind; the
right to a home as that word is in
terpreted by youth.
These rights invariably clash, and
instead Of arbltrating, the more mod
ern parents go to the wall They be-
come to the end of their days a sort
of parental doormat on which is
printed the word Welcome" for all the
gay, noisy companions of their chill
dren. but which is turned with the
blank side up when their own friends
appear Naturally they cannot well
come their own friends for the reason
that the children occupy the parlOr
overflow into the dining room. and
drive their parents to their rooms.
When the parents are less modern
the result Of this clashing Of rights is
even more disastrous: for youth is
robbed OF its joys, and the girls and
boys are unnaturaly ubdued-quiet
troubled little men and women. know
ing a mtrth that is no more spontane-
Gus than the mechanical laugh Of a
mechanical doll.
1 nave a letter from girl whose
parents are plainly not modern. She
says she is IS: her sister is % She
makes a good salary: so does her sis
ter. Her parents are in comfortable
circumstances. yet they have no home
where they can invite company, that
which should be the parlor being given
over to the transaction of the fathers
business affairs.
If IL were necessary" writes the
girl, q would not complain: but my
father doesn't need the money, and we
are growing up and want to have
company, as all girls do. and he will
not let US have a room where we can
see them"
Here is a clashing Of rights that will
drive these girls to the streets to meet
the young men they are forbidden to
ask to their homes They want the
right OF yOuth-the supreme right of
yOuth-and that is to love and to be
loved. also to court and to be courted
and to marry. No man, If he is worth

safe place in the world for this &C
quaintance to develop into love is in
the girls own parlOr.

blame the girl
For the sake Of the children parents
should not permit themselves to be !

And 1t is for the sake Of the chill /
dren that every one on earth wants to /!

frage for the District were delivered last

scribed what she called the shortcomings

cause of the so-called Objectionable ele-
ment Of the colored man and woman is
based on triviality. Judson King ex-

To The Editor of The Star:


The delightful article on THE Roman

Thomas Nelson Page, 1 had previously
read in the September number of Serb
ner. and had the pleasure of rereading
IL in Wednesdays Star. The charm of
style of DR.. Pages writings and his re-
sourcefulness with facts always make
his books and articles worth reading As
certain assertions in his book on the
life of Robert E. Lee have been open
TO doubt and even strongly contraverted
so. with due respect to the opinion of
DIR. Page, in so far as his article refers to
the originator of the plan of the city of
Washington. it must be said that the
conclusions that have been reached by
DIR. Page-namely, that the chief credit
for the plan of Washington must not be
solely given to Maj. L'Enfant''-could
not have been derived from consulting
and comparing original historic manu-
scripts. but have been rather shaped by
the opinions and writings of some who
never had the advantage and opportunity
of examining Maj L'Enfant's own col
lection of letters from Gen. Washington.
