Tom and Joe and Molly.
BY MIMI.

1t seems to me that Idaho, Hazel
| offers the best solution to my problem
about Tom and Joe and Molly.
| You will remember that Molly
| wants to know what to do about Tom
| to whom she's been more Or less en-
gagged for the past two years, and
who is thousands of miles away from
| her a. present.
She's found out that she loves Joe
an old flame, much better than her
| distant fiance--and she fears that
news of this will cause Tom to turn
back to old ways of dissipation which
he abandoned because of her.
Hazel has some sound, common
| sense views. and l quote them here:
Nolly's conviction that Tom will
go right to the bow-wows when she
| gives him the air is probably found.
ed on % per cent fact and IS per cent
| on her vanity.
Most women have a habit Of over
| estimating their effect on men. I'm
doubleday, Molly has done something
to turn Toms head in the right di-
rection.
But all that reform of his was just
the natural impulse of boy in love,
with marriage in mind, who sees that
he's got to buckle down and cut out
the gay times if he wants to make a
decent living.
All right; he cut them out and is
on the way to making a success in
the world
Is it possible that he's going to
chuck his brand-new job and his
chances of happiness in business be-
cause a golden-haired Sheba on the
other side of the continent decides she
doesn't love him anV moro
If Tom had the strength Of mind
to overcome his little weaknesses, he's
surely got enough nerve to hang on
to his new status in life, no matter
what his girl friend decides to do to
hun.
Women get so in the habit of think
ing Of their great influence on men
priding themselves on the tremendous
steps the men have taken since good
advice and loving sympathy were
handed them-that they don't notice
when that influence becomes less i'm.
portant and the mems own characters
begin to sustain them and keep them
firmly in the right path.
For all Molly knows, Tom may be
just as securely planted on the mar
row road to success as any one in the
world
Her encouragement and influence
may have started him thereon, but
the boys own strength of character
will very likely finish the job alone
There may not be the slightest need
for Mollys sweet assurances of love
to keep Tom where he Is now.
SO that it seems a fairly safe bet
for her to let him know where he
stands. It's not going to be very easy
on him, but it would be a lot harder
if she went ahead with the spirit of
Il martyr and married him just to be
a good girl.
AS long as she's really keen on Joe,
she must let the other man go. And
since she's got to do it sooner or later
she might just as we'll go ahead
with it.
Toms momentary disappointment
will be less keen now than it might be
when after several years of working
and saving for marriage he discovers
that there isn't going to be any mar
riage at ALL
Give Tom the credit for having a
little strength of his own to stand on,
and let him know the worst, Molly.

From early times, there seems to
| have been feeling that when child
reached his seventh birthday a def
mite milestone had been reached. In
Roman law the period of "infantla
proximus'-near infancy - extended
from the time a child could speak until
he was Z. From on until puberty ex-
tended a period known as "pubertatl
proximus." In English families defi
mite era was begun when a boy reach
ed Z because the day after this event
he began the study OF Latin-ano
there are some English families where
the rule still holds.
It is at this age-sometimes earlier
and occasionally not until 1O-that
children usually form strong attach
ments for other children. Under favor
able conditions boy or girl of this
age will become the fast friend of
some adult and the influence Of such a
friendship may be very potent for
good. Lacking congenial children or
adults in whom to center this craving
for friendship, q child will often be-
come enormously attached to a dog or
cat. Useful as these animal friend
ships are at this time there is some
thing pathetic about them II they take
the place Of the normal human attach
ment.
Children Of this age are sometimes
excessively sensitive, especially when
leased or peered at by other children
The English pot Cowper. who was
delicate lad, never quite recovered
from the depression he felt from teas
ing of older boys at school. One OF
these DULLES inundated him SO
much that he did not dare lift his
he EnnnQ
ing him and he later said that ne
''knew this boy better by his shoe
buckles than any other part OF his
dress"
One thing every parent should real
lie is that the boy or girl should have
the companionship Of other conSenlal
children. Jealousy sometimes results
from these strong attachments ana
this must be handled with tact.
It ia said that by the time child
ia z he is able to differentiate between
work and play. Another thing that
ought to be gratifying to the over
worked mother Is that a normal child
of is sufficiently advanced to be
able to tie a bow knot. AT least he
ought to be able to do up his own
shoes. He ought also to be able to copy
a diamond fairly well from a copy and
to repeat five figures correctly.
Most children of are still learning
to read. Rare children read 1iuently
at this age. At this age Harriet Mar
