Takes Ruth's Part

Dear Cynthia do not think the
criticism of the And So They Were

Cynthia column the other evening was
very fair. In the first place, maybe the
writer Hazel Deyo Bachelor. takes the
part of Ruth and not the part OF Scott.
And Ruth does not believe in going
away from home 20 earn $25 week
and at the same time let her husband
waste $50 in the malieshift meals she
gives him. Ruth seems very willing to
stay at home. 1t is Scott who seems
to have the "high-falutin" ideas, But
don't blame Ruth II she gets them
into her head soon, for in the end mar
ried women usually try to become what
their husbands want them to, If a man
admires the type of girl who goes out TO
work and accomplishes things and holds
her up to his wife. then he surely ought

MANY Of us are inclined to rear
AVA selfish children; that is, in spite of
ourselves we build a world around a
child that seems constructed especially
for him. In an article In one of the
magazines this month Anna Katharine
Green, noted writer Of detective
stories. sounds a warning cry against
the practice Of letting the world live
for the child. The article appears in
the American Magazine.
"All Of the crimes committed to
gain money-theft, embezzlement and
forgery--all Of these are rooted In
selhshness. in greed for ones SELF"
writes this famous woman.
SO are the crimes people commit
to be freed from some obligation or
duty they are too selfish to meet -
It is self, self, self all the way through.
II mothers and fathers would analyze
crime as I have it would be a ter
rible warning to them not to bring I'D
their children to think that the,. de-
sires and their feelings are the su.

opportunity to get under the skin of

The root of crime is selfishness.

survey of men and women we can
divide them into two groups-those
