Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 know
ladv who is sickIy. A woman living
near her and her children and chill
dren that go with hers, make SO much
trouble for. thisflady and her cnlid.
They run in her yard and when she
tells them to stay out they call her
and her child all kincs of foul names
and do other things, yell out on the
street that she better get married and
go all over telling people unkind

her house. Is there no law to stop
this? A FRIEND.
Your friend should report the mat
ter to the police, unless she can find a
better way to settle the matter. Peo-
pie have no right running thru her
yard or acting like rowdieS on the
street Also, unless the barking dog
is kept in its place, the law will see
that it is Killed.
I think, however. that if she tries
to improve conditions by returning
Children are very responsive to kind
treatment, and piece of candy or
a cookie would go farther in making
the children obedient than the threat
of a policeman. Doubtless the wo-
mans sickness has made her excit-
able, and when she has spoken to the
children she has used a voice which
has antagon.zed them and filled them
with spirit to tease. Tell her to melt
their dislike for her by calling them
sweet names and bribing them with
goodies. When she is feeling at her
best it would pay to invite the chill
dren in to play with her own child or
to enjoy little tea party Of weak
tea and jelly sandwiches.
She can also gain the good will of
her neighbor by speaking pleasantly.
