Prefers Romantic Adventures to Introductions.

Anyhow I abhor introductions.

You put your case with almost
irresistible plausibility. I'll meet
you half way at least, and agree
that there probably is less ro-

adventures with mysterious veiled
strangers, and conventional intro
ductions were unknown.
Taste For Romantic Adventure.
And, of course, the girls in
whom you find an "unexplainable
appeal" would be perfectly safe
in tolerating your unsanctioned
advances, because you are, l take
it, an irreproachable young man

DOmineering Mothers Do
Children Harm
By Mrs. Wilson W. dro ow.

an EAR MRS. WOODROW:
am twenty-four
years old and live
with my mother, who is a widow.
/ am her only child and she can
not understand why I am not per-
fectly happy. We have a nice
home and my mother is we'll off,
but we do not always agree. One
cause for this is that there is a
young man that mother thinks the
world of and is anxious for me to
marry. He is the one Of all the
young men / know that ! like
least, and it is strange that Of all
the girls he knows he likes me
the best.

"But / don't want to marry, not
for a while, anyway, and things
wouldn't be any different If did,
for mother plans that, married or
single, shall always live at home
with her. You may think / have
a strange reason for being un-
happy and discontented, but, Mrs.
Woodrow, although / love nv

couldn't go on living this way, Just
following her plans and never being
allowed to make any Of my own.
She still treats me as if / was a

sidered bright and clever at

"I want to do something worth
while. l have always been crazy
to be a nurse, but she won't hear
OF 1t. What shall l do? Is 1t my
duty to go on this way and give in
to her about everything? r. E."
It Is never anyone's duty to be
a slave to another persons whims.
do not wonder that you are un-
happy and discontented. In fact,
should think it strange II you were
not Your letter might stand as a
lesson to mothers. This mother,
with the very best intentions in
the world, is doing not only very
foolish thing but a very wrong
thing. She is trying to live her
daughters life for her, and that
cannot be done.
This mother is, no doubt, very
delightful person, with many fine
traits Of character, but, neverthe-
less, her affection for her daughter
is a jealous and tyrannical one. II
she were to see anyone loaded
with chains and then led to a
treadmill for life she would be
horrifed and would probably shed
tears over mans inhumanity to
man, and yet the chains and the
treadmill only symbolic the life

should think that this girl
might sit down and argue ouf her
own case something like this:
In many respects my mother
has been a kind and loving one,
and / hope l appreciate her care
and thought for me. But / am
twenty-four years old, capable Of
thinking and acting for myself. l
am leading an aimless, unsatisfac-
tory life. / surely cannot make
my mother happy by being con-
stantly discontented and out Of
spirits. / have tried to do as she
wishes, but cannot continue to be
an idler and a drifter and keep my
self-respect. Ny gifts, such as
they are, were given me to use.
! am sorry that / cannot realize
my mothers ambitions for me, but
there are too many real jobs wait
ing, too many helping hands
needed in the world today for me
to keen on loafng. / hope with all
my heart that she will give me the
benefit of her advice and counsel;
but in any event I've got to step
lively and keep moving to stay
abreast of the best that is being
thought and done in the world
today.
A Narrow Escape.
Suppose this girl who has writ
ten me were to continue to drift
this way for a number of years
longer, Just from sheer inertia and
because she has not the courage
to take her life into her own
hands and make the best Of it;
and then suppose her mother were
to die. What would be the fate Of
that girl? She would almost GER
tainly be a lonely, disappointed
woman, without enough initiative
to manage her own affairs because
she had so long permitted herself
to be bossed, directed, dictated to
by another with a stronger will
than her own.
This mother, and others like her,
are not thinking Of their daugh-
ters' welfare, but of their own con-
venience. The sentiment we occa-
sionally read or hear, 81 shall live
my life over again in that Of my
children" is far from a noble one.
II a person cannot live his life on
his own feet he Is not fit to die
tate another's course OF action, and
not even then, for by the time one
has learned to stand alone he no
longer cares to boss others
The most poYerty-stricken per-
son in the world is the man or
woman who has reached middle
age and has not a number OF we'll
built-up mental interests, which
they can enjoy, quite independent
Of the society of others. All OF the
"vamps," believe me, are not In
the movies.
