Life of Laundered Materials

"How long should the following articles
wear in daily use: Tablecloths napkins,
pillowcases. sheets. underwear, towels
nightgowns, blankets, madras window
curtins house dresses? These things
are washed at home A laundress comes
orce in awhile One person contends
these articles will last lifetime, or at
least 20 years. These mailman ideas
are causing great mental and physical
anguish to innocent persons. Both sides
agree to accept your verdict without
question. Those concerned and others
will be forever grateful to you for saw
ing their peace of mind.
"ANNABEL."
The answer may be compressed into
nutshell. If the articles you catalog are
few in number and are washed every
week-no matter how carefully-they
will wear out in year. If you have q
dozen of each and wash each one-third
as often they should wear well for sew
eral years, provided always they are OF
excellent quality at first second or
third rate grade of linen, muslin or wool
is short-lived in the hands of the most
carcwul laundress. Another condition OF
longevity is the comparative cleanliness
of the articles laundered. 1t is short
sighted economy that allows clothes and
household linens to get much soiled be-
fore they are washed. The saving In
laundry bills and labors is more than
offset by the wear and tear of hard rub
bing to dislodge dirt.

At the same time / still feel, and /
don't expect to change in my feeling,
that she had no right to act in the

seems to me to define pretty generally
the limits to which a mother can enter
the married life of her children. TO
speak, advise, discuss-but not to act
without their consent
Your mother is a reasonable wom-

sonableness of such a statement of her
share in our lives At any rate, 1 offer
the suggestion that we three talk this
over together and try to come to a
positive, constructive understanding of
each other.
There is left the difficult, delicate
matter of restoring Wanda as our
friend and guest. 1 have racked my
head in vain for a solution of 1t. Who
is to see her? What can any of us say
to her? feel entirely helpless in such
a situation, solvable, as it seems to me,
only by woman. VIII you help me
with your woman's understanding of

married life but all life seems to con-
sist for those who want to live fully
which to most of us means living COM
plexly. l know that you will respond
to the call for your share in the COM
promise.
And your mother and Wanda, too,
will have to contribute their share OF
compromise if they wish to remain
bound in our lives. For, see now, that
every positive human relation--friend-

marriage to some extent, and as such
demands the compromise that living

DAVID REPLIES

In IL kA%A SSAA%AS
My Dear Cora; am sorry you put up
an ultimatum to me: GO Immediately
to mother and apologize? I should be
ashamed of myself if 1 obeyed such an
order-any order Only a petulant
mother or schoolmarm would order a
child so-and 1 am not a child.
If 1 say anything to your mother to
lessen the hurt to her feelings 1t will
be because my own sense of right die
tates it. Even then I should have an
uneasy feeling that 1 may be obeying
you instead of my conscience. So please,
let us have no more ultimatums.
do, however, see in more under
standing light your mothers role in our
life-that she has a part in our lives
simply because she has a vital part in
your life, in your heart.
1t is another of those very complex
problems that go to make life such a
difficult art But as you have said, we
must either face life or run away from
| it--and 1 choose to face 1t. You have
taken on the difficult problem of Wan

mother as an important part of our
life.

ers or any mothers right to enter into
the affairs of her children's married
life. But one or two general consider
atoms occur to me.

suppose it would be too much to ex-

human aloofness when her daughter s

TT WAS James Russell Lowell who wrote,
BE noble and the nobleness that lies in
other mems hearts, sleeping but never dead,
will rise in majesty to meet thine own"
WE SOMETIMES wonder if words could
w be so written that those who read them
that were in the downward path could be
turned from life of wrong. We sometimes
wonder if words could be so written as to
touch the human heart universal and all
who lived within the sound would turn and
seek a life Of greater usefulness and i'm
portance than they had ever known.
TT WAS Bonaparte who said that on one
occasion few words spoken by another
had changed the current Of his life-and
thereby changed the history of the world.
THE FAILURE Of a life is pathetic thing
and nature in her ruthless moods, gives
all to one and nothing to another. This
mattered not in centuries ago when human
comfort was unknown and man had for
weapon rock and for covering a tigers
skin. In modern life failure SO often means
sickness, despair and death.
TT is our province and our power of being
the means of service to the hundreds and
the thousands that live within our reach.
We have the organization, the experience
and the unlimited resources which only
quarter Of century Of success can give.
