The members of our families whom
we love best are those who show a
perfect partiality for us. Those we
admire are the ones who admire us.
and, conversely, those we dislike are
those who are cold. and distant TO us.
and critical OF us. Therefore. any
bride or groom who wishes to draw
mother-in-law fangs, and cushion her
claws, has only to make up to the old
lady, and show that he or she de-
sires TO win her affection.
There should be n special chair in
the School For In-laws devoted ex-
elusively TO cultivating an artistic
line OF jolly to be applied TO mother
in-laws by brides and bridegrooms who
have qualified as efficiency experts IN
spreading the salve. The School For
In-Laws should also give its pupils a
brief course in natural history, show
ing that marriage does not auto
matically cause a woman TO cease be-
ing daughter because she has be-
come wife, or prevent a man from
remaining a son after he has added
wife TO himself. Neither does mar
riage put stop to tender family trees.
and change the love of men and
women for their parents into indif-
ference or hate, as so many in-laws
seem TO think that il should.
The College For In-Laws should Law
stress on the fact that there are no
half portions of virtue, and that th,.
woman whose jealousy demands that
her husband shall sacrifice the mother
who bore him to her whim, is so
lacking in loyalty that he will for
sake her for some other woman, and
that man who expects his wife TO turn
her back upon the love and tender
ness that has sheltered her all her
life, will find that some day she viii
leave him just as lightly, for she has
no gratitude or appreciation in her
composition.
The School For In-L.aws should also
have a chair of justice which should
teach brides and grooms TO play fair
with mother r-in-law, and not TO take
all she can give, and then welch
when 1t comes TO paying their debt
TO her. 1t isn't cricket to send hot
foot after mother-in-law when the
baby is sick. and the cook leaves. and
thereby save the price of a trained
nurse and a servant, and then go
around looking as if something has
disagreed with you and you had an
acute pain when she comes for her
annual pleasure visit.
And lastly, thousands upon thou
sands OF women, who have given To
some young snip of a girl or hoy
the one thing in the world that made
life worth living TO them and who
are left lonely and desoIate, would
rise up and bless the school for in
laws If 1t would teach their daughter
in-laws and son-in-laws to open the
doors OF their hearts TO them, and lei
them in.

WHICH ARE YOU, AN OUTLAW, ORA
PESTIFEROUS NAGGING IN-LAW
Dorothy Dix Advocates the Establishment
r
j dan Heart
Copyright 1921 bs the wheeler syndic ate. Inc.

A clergyman, who asserts that
seventy-flve per cent OF the wrecked
homes In the country are broken up
by the wifes mother or the husband s
mother, urges the establishment OF
schools In which mother-in- -laws could
be taught how to be in-laws instead OF
being outlaws as they are at present
Fine idea. Push It along. I'm
douotedly most mother-in-laws are
In sore need OF an education that Will
lift them up above the primitive
animal jealousy that makes them hate
their son-in-laws and their daughter
in-laws, sight unseen, because they
cannot endure that their children
should love anyone else better than
they do them. Also, mother-in-law
needs TO be grounded in the elemen-
tary principles of justice so that she
will not think that the man who is
married to her daughter should slave
himself TO death to provide her with
limousines and pearls, while she holds
that the girl VINO is married to her
son should do her own cooking and not
expect 20 have new hat oftener than
once in two years.
Furthermore, II would certainly
make for sweetness and light IL
mother-in-law could have II forcibly
impressed on her mind that every
young couple have a right 10 manage
their own affairs in their own way.
and have their quarrels without hav-
Ing mother to referee them. Nor. can
one deny that there will be a slump
in the divorce market when mother
in-laws learn how TO keep their
fingers out OF their children's pies.
and acquire a wisdom and grace that
Will enable them to make their visits
like angels-few and far between.
But in the in-law muddle the
mother-in-laws are not the only sin
ners. There are also present the
and son-in-iaws. and
If il Is advisable for mother-in-laws 10
be taught the ethics Of the in-law
career. why is IL not equally adyis-
able for the son-in-laws and the
da aughter-in-laws to be likewise in
structed in how TO conduct themselves
properly in the station OF life to which
they are calling themselves?
Surely a school for in-laws, in
which they would be taught the
duties and amenities of in-lawhood
ness, so to speak, would fill long-felt
want, and save many a heartache.
many a barrel of wasted tears, and
many a sordid family squabble.
The kindergarten class in the college
Tor in-laws should begin by instruct
ing the tender mind Of the young bride
and groom in the folly of entering
their new relationship with chips on
their shoulders. 1t is bromide 10
say that life is a mirror that gives
US back our own reflection. But il
Is true. And 1t is especially true OF
family life.

Answer: You were right in not

these marks are extremely obstinate

should remove them with a soft eraser.
