Daily Talks By Mary Pick ford
NEG HBORS.

ing sympathy on one side and
never-failing appreciation and kind
illness OF spirit on the other. That
ill-assorted intimacy that one often
sees among neighbors was entirely
missing.
The lesson was easy to see. Neigh
borliness does not mean a rush in
TO undue intimacy nor the bestOwal
of favOrs in a patronizing way, but
just the performance of simple du-
ties in a sympathetic way, as from
one human being 10 another. Too
many people rush into friendships
with people whom they do not know
and. afterwards, hurt the feelings
OF those people by a withdrawal
from such friendships. 1t is al
ways better 10 choose the middle
course with neighbors; kindness
does not encourage intimacy. II
one neighbor remembers TO keep to
a middle course, the other Will
also maintain that course, and they
Will contribute TO the mutual hap
piness of both as long as they live
side by side.
Sometimes. however, a neighbor
proves TO be a friend after ones
own heart, and a tie very close and
dear can spring up between two
families who live near one an
other.
Speaking Of neighborliness re
minds me of an incident that ! saw
in Boston. 1t was the kind Of thing
that one meets in the west and
south, but in the New England
states, where social distinctions are
more difficult TO maintain, one does
not very often meet with the kind
of neighborliness that l observed
A strange family were moving in
TO a suburb of Boston, and when
they arrived, all tired out. in the
confusion of a furniture heaped
house, some neighbors across the
street met them and informed them
that dinner was awaiting them in
the neighbor's home. When the
afternoon meal was over the new
corners no longer felt like strangers
in a strang place. Neighbors had
brought the sunshine Of real well
come into their dooryard.

The Housewives Economy Calendar

even though the homemade sort
cost somewhat more just for the
bare materials than the finished
garments do of the ready-made sort,
they are so much more durable that
they are we'll worth making. Well,
in order really 10 test this state
ment we should have TO start two
garments off at the same time and
let them run a race. Next time you
buy any stOre-made things date
them indellibly on a seam and COM
pare them with some made-tO-or-
der ones. You will probably see that
there is not so much advantage in
favor OF the homemade sort as you
expected there would be.
If the woman who wishes to make
her own things were honest and
really knew the situation, she would
tell you that she made her own
things because she could have finer,
better-made garments when she did
so, for obviously most hOmem made
garments are fashioned of better
fabric than those ready made.
Nowadays there are a dozen and
one ways that even busy mothers
can add a little money to their in
comes There is part-time work in
the stores-truly patriotic; there is
part time clerical work for the wom-
an who has had office training;
there are gardening and farming
and baby tending for bettertod do
folk. In fact, there is a shortage of
labor generally, and there is some
thing for everyone with two hands
to do So if the housewife really
cannot sew well, she would prob
ably find il more economical and
more satisfactory all around 10
spend a little time earning money in
some way and then buying her
things all made, or getting an expert
needlewoman TO make them for her.

Somehow L never quite came
home 10 me what il meant 10 be a
neighbor until 1 heard an elderly
lady say: II always want 10 get
acquainted with my next-door
neighbors. no matter who they are.
because. through nor knowing
them, 1 might sometimes be de-
prived of the opportunity of doing
them kindness"
Doesn't that make the word
neighbor" wear a new meaning TO
YOU? II aid 10 me. Most Of US
rather shrink from making acquain-
tances with neishbors who are not
in our social class or who are not
congenial, or who cannot contribute
something to our own enjoyment in
life. L began TO look into this new
version Of neighbor to see how the
plan worked.
The woman who uttered this
lovely remark occupied a place of
social dignity. She was not a So
ciety woman, although Of society.
Her neighbOrs were rather COM
mon people, the kind who would be
apt TO presume upon an olive branch
held out by a superior. Yet 1 found
nothing Of the kind existed. There
was a clearly defined social barrier
between the houses, and yet the
kindly interest manifested by the
woman of social rank was such that
the other woman never for a mo-
ment felt her inferiority, and in
any emergency would certainly have
first called on her neighbor for
help.
The kind Of help, too. l witnessed.
When sickness came to the neigh
boris home, daily gifts of broths
and delicacies found their way 10
the less fortunate household the
good neighbor sat up at night with
the sick one, TO relieve tired moth
er, and when, one day, white
Grape hung from the door bell, the
good neighbOr was there TO assist;
her flowers lay ready, and her com
fort sustained. Yet, after all that.
the two families took up their lives
again in the usual way. There was
never any intrusion on either side;
each went its way, with neverfail-

DOES MAKING YOUR OWN PAY?
Some women air the conviction
that the housewife-or any other
woman, for that matter-who does
not do some of the sewing 10 make
her own clothes is neglecting a
sacred duty. These critical ones seem
To regard the mother who never
took a stitch in her life toward the
making of her baby's clothes as an
unnatural and almost inhuman
mother; and as for the woman who
actually does not know how 10 sew
well, she is absolutely unwoman-
ly, TO say the least.
That is our old prejudice. But
we are coming TO the realization
have very little TO do with the per-
Torrance of certain stated tasks,
and there are times when a woman
is perfectly justified in not sewing at
all. There are times when even the
usual run of housewife is better off
