HENLOPEN GRANGE

One of the best entertainments ever
given at Cedar Grove was staged on
Thursday evening, June Is tn, at the
close of school, with Mrs. Phifer, the
teacher, as director. Among the many
numbers, consisting of vocal and in
strumental music, readings, plays and
drills, was a charade entitled "The
Lost Child" whose cast, with one or
two exceptions, was composed Of chill
dren under ten years of age, some of
whose acting would have done credit
to many a foot-light favorite. A hoop
drill by several Grecian-clad young
girls was a symphony of motion. We
wish to express our appreciation of
the young people of Angola who, by
request, gave a burlesque entitled
Teacher May I Go Homer" The wit
and humor of the teacher" Charles
Ash, his pupils and the colOred jan
itor, kept the audience breathless
with laughter. No admission was
charged but ice cream and cake were
sold at the close. Proceeds, amounting
to sixteen dollars, will be used to pur-
chase furniture for the room.
During the severe electrical, storm
Sunday evening the large stables at
Harry Carpenters home, were struck
by lightning and, together with about
twenty tons of clover hay, were en-
tirely destroyed. All the stock and
farming implements were saved, but
a large number of chickens were con-
sumed. The farm, located on the road
from Lewes to Georgetown, is known
as the Jefferson Place, as it was own
ed, for many years, by the late Will
liam Jefferson, a we'll known hotel
man. Mr.. Carpenter has the sympathy
of the entire community. Onlya nomi-
nal insurance was carried on the
building and none on the contents.

Problems That Perplex
A Mothers Love.
Answered by
BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Dear Miss Fairfax: Please give me
some advice in the columns OF The
Omaha Bee, which we get, and read
your articles with interest every day.
I am a middle-aged woman and
had an only son, whom I was very
devoted to. He fell in love at an
early age and married against my
wish, and the girl, knowing I had
opposed the union so much, has tried
to turn my boy away from me.
have invited them to my home and
given big dinners for them on nu-
merous occasions. These are the only
times she will come to my home, and
she refuses to let him speak to me
or come to our home unless she Is
present to hear every word. / have
never said anything against her to
him since their maria ge-only spoke
good of her.
They live in the house with her
mother, and she is an only child.
Her mother does not like me and
feels herself better than I, although
she goes out of her home and works
by days work and allows this
daughter to attend roller skating
rinks. etc., unchaperoned, which |
would not think OF letting my daugh-
ter do. My heart yearns for my
boy. I do not wish him to neglect
his wife, but, oh, it hurts so to think
he has forsaken all the mother he
will ever have in this life.
He never comes, nor does he write
to me, as they live in a nearby town,
and my life is greatly saddened by
the attitude he has taken. I know
she has poisoned his mind against
me.
I have gone to their home and
they never invited me in, after en-
tertained them so many times to
dinner. Do you think If he really
loved and was true to me as a boy
should be he would allow his wife
and her mother to treat me that
way?
Please tell me what you think OF
1t, and is it best to just give him up

had such sorrowful, eventful life?
"A HEARTBROKENM MOTHER"


Your case is really a heart-break-
ing one. Your boy certainly ought
not to neglect or forget his mother.
There are mothers and daughters-in-
law who do not get along, but if the
girl has any human sympathy at all
she will urge the son to see some
thing of his mother, even though she
does not herself.
Your story brings me to the state
ment of a universal truth. We look
forward in life, not backward. The
generation coming on never fully
appreciates what the older genera
ton has done for it. But it, in turn,
does for the upspringing generation.
That doesn't mean a child should
not be sensible Of what he owes his
parents, but 1t sometimes softens our
sorrows over the ingratitude of young
people IL we realize that we are in
a cycle, and that the sacrifices are
passed forward, not backward. An
other truth which appears on your
case is that husband and wife cling
together if they love each other, even
discriminating against the parents
who brought them into the world.
The Bible says Thou shalt leave
father and mother and cleave unto
him." simply meaning that the mar
riage bond is stronger than the bond
Of child to parent. 1t seems cruel,
doesn't it? But it is the normal
thing. A mothers love for her child
probably surpasses all other loves.
but the child pours his greatest af-
fection more largely into his chill
dren than backward to his parent.
The love of children for their par
ents has been so cultivated in many
instances that my statements may
be doubted, but am speaking OF in
stinctive regard.
To go back to your case, there
isnt much you can do except exhibit
patience, forbearance and sympathy
for both your son and his wife. II
you ever have an opportunity. talk
to your son.. He and his wife are
both doing wrong and only the
greatest of love on your part can
span the breach. A child in their
home would do much toward recon-
