WHICH COMES FIRST?

Why should there be any first? It
should be together. One should
not claim more of mothers time
than the ether, now that son has
age, when it was his privilege to be
somewhat of an autocrat.
1t was the war which drew so
many mothers and sons more closely
together. When the boys were home
on leave they felt that mother must
be treated to some little outing, and
while father was just as glad to see
him as he was, he was not always
included in the invitations. Since
the boys have been +demobed," many
of these little attentions to moth er
have been kept up, which is just
right. Many boys who are not en-
gagged would prefer to take mother
out 1t speaks well for any boy to
be proud to show his mother all
manner of little courtesies, but just
here let US put in a word for
father, too. For the sake of COM
mon politeness, if nothing else, in
clude him in the invitations some
times, or if not, at least ask him if it
suits his convenience.
Not long since, a father asked his
wife ITO go to the pictures with him,
and the mothers rep:y was: 81 am
sorry, but I have promised to go to
concert with Tom this evening"
Hubby reminded her that it was
the second time that week she had
PLEADED previous engagement with
Tom when he had asked her to go
out with him.
ST shall not be sorry when Tom
gets a girl of his own to go out
with him in the evenings; then may
be I can have mine,'' said he.
There is a special duty for mothers
to perform along this line. She
should not let her duty toward her
childrenN outweigh the duty toward
her husband. After all, he has work
! ed lust as hard for them; he wants
| to give them the comforts of life; he
| it is who struggles to give them a
good education, and sad to relate, is
often 1oked upon as an animated
.tbank account and must play ''sec-
| ond fiddle" always. Give father &
| chance, and let him at least feel that
you consider him one of the family
| circle and not just outside.

: ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
MARRYING in Haste.
BY Beatrice Fairfax

clarifying III f1dSCcs
Dear Miss Fairfax: About a year
ago L was secretly married to a man
hVe years my senior.
Immediately after my father started
court proceedings and finally succeed
ing in Settings our marriage annulled
on the ground that 1 was under age.
My father threatened to disown me if
1 had anything further to do with this
young man.
Now, Miss Fairfax, I do love him,
and he loves me, as he has proven on
many occasions. We have met regu-
larIy and realize that we cannot-live
without each other. His income now
is large enough to support me, and as
am 8 years of age now we again
plan to get married. 1 love him
dearly, and also love my parents, but
if I marry him 1 would lose NV pa
rents. My mother said she would die
of broken heart if 1 would ever con-
template such a marriage. 1 simply
know that 1 cannot live without him.
What would you advise me to-ae?
Heartbroken.
OF course Is often declares that it
cannot live without someone only to
find at 20, and perhaps again at .21
or 22, that an entirely different ideal
attracts and appeals. So it seems sad
to think that your parents must again
suffer on your account, as they no
doubt suffered when you ran away
and their little girl suddenly develop
ed into a married woman. On the
other hand, youth must be served
and parents often adjust themselves
to the inevitable and learn to accept
and even to find happiness in the
marriage they once found so contrary
to all their desires. Can't you wait
awhile and make sure of your own
feelings? Perhaps you are just in
love with him. A step such you
plan to take reuires thought-and
time to prove it's justification.
