London June 5.-The ~mother-in-
law joke is no longer warranted by
present-day facts.
Greater freedom and Independence
among the young people have made
the powers, or the dangers, or the
mother-in-law thing Of the past.
A London magistrate, with long
training in handling domestic troubles,
gives the mother-in-Iaw q clean bill Of
health Following which various titled
and prominent women have joined him
in praise Of the modern mother-in-law.
In these free and easy days when
young people brook no interference OF
any kind, the mother-in-law stands
aside says Lady Sydenham. She fol-
lows the stream of people who let
everything slide and allows the young
generation to gain their own sxper-
fence unchecked and unguarded.
Il have lived with my mother-in-
law for years Lady Beecham testi-
ffes. and my own experience is that
two women In such relationship will
have no difficulty in getting along to-
gether."
The beautiful side of life is given
less prominence than the cynical and
the soriid,s says Lady Ashfield
Hence. while we hear much of the
failings Of the mother-in-law, we hear
little or nothing of her sympathy and
the way she enables newly married
couples to escape many pitfalls"
