Since Time will not remain with me,
But keeps on plunging on his way,
The only thing that can see
For me to do each passing day
Is Just with all my strength of limb
To try to keep abreast Of him:
To choose my goal. and then pursue II,
e And at the end just beat him to it,"

in the divorce court only one case has
come to his attention where a mother
in-law has been at the bottom of the
trouble OF a marital couple. Contrary
TO the cynic, the world IS getting bet.
ter Yesterday the slogan was:
Look for the mother-in-law In the
case"
But the twentieth century mother-in-
law IL different. For she has prOfited
from the experience Of her predecessor.
She has learned that any two people
living together must solve THEIR
OWN problems. and that pescemakers.
especially In the form OF mothers-in-
law. never hear any good OF them
selves.
The truth is that the peacemaker. even
though well meaning. usually gets the
worst OF 1t. 1t is somehow against
human nature for folk to forgive those
who settle rhe,r troubles. They may
seem grateful at the time. But as
time goes on they don't like to feel that
| somebody else Is responsible for the
working out OF their own problems.
