There is a tendency with some work

How About Mother2

Selma realizes perfectly that she is
selfish, which is a long step In the
right direction.
Her own selfshness worries her ter
rifically She understands that it's
making her unhappy, but she doesn't
know quite what to do about it.
After all, she says, she hasn't any
one to lavish unselfshness upon.
She can't go around being over
generous with her friends, She can't
make them presents all the time, over
whelm them with her attentions.
If only she could find some real abid-
ing interest outside Of herself she'd be
all right.
We'll, what about giving mother a
rush? Did 1t ever occur to you?
suppose not. All the girls In the world
get used TO their niothers-get used to
that constant giving, that constant UNI
selfishness, which Is part OF mother
love.
1t doesn't seem worth while to con-
centrate on any one who is happy Just
simply because you're alive and well.
But take 1t from me 1t is worth while.
Many years ago q selfish woman told
| me that she'd decided 1t was time her
mother had change and rest and
good deal Of the happiness that had
| been coming to her for some time.
And forthwith she began to give
mother her share in life. She liter
ally strove 10 make the older woman's
life happy.
In six months she had given her
| mother a new interest in life, had
| frightened up tired soul had trans
| formed an overWorked drudge into q
| real living woman who took pains with
| her clothes and paid attention to what
interesting people we're thinking and
| writing.
And the selfish woman herself-oh,
yes. she changed, too. She found that
| once she'd stopped thinking about her.
| self and her own petty affairs life
| opened up new channels OF expression
| for her in every direction.
There isn't soul in the world who
needs attention more than mother,
| probably.
That faithful, quiet, loving soul has
| pIodded on for years. taken Tor granted
| by her children, loved casually~~neg-
| leeted when convenient
OF course, she hasn't complained
of course, she hasn't even been I'M
happy~~but little attention VIII do
wonders for her.
Mind you, I'm not just referring TO
Selinas mother, I'm talking CT the
average mother all over the world,
There are million girls right thls
minute. fuSsing and bothering and
| worrying about themselves, VINO might
| wipe out their petty troubles In week
by taking an active interest In the hap
piness of the person who loves them
better than anything else In life.
IT'S simple remedy for selfishness.
girls It's simple remedy for unhap~
piness.
Just give mother her fling for a
while, Cut out endless thoughts about
yourself and do a little hard thinking
about some one who deserves A great
deal OF your time.
Don't make slave Of yourself. Don't
tie yourself 10 the maternal apron
strings But try to get some one else'a
point OF viey. Try to make that some
one else happy, intelligent, living soul
instead Of WORKOUT household serV~
ant~~and your reward will be as great
as her happiness.

Children who play on the beach and

broiling sun. have made my small
daughter little beach robe with a
hood. like that worn by Little Red Rid
ing Hood, which is exceedingly attrac-

and forms a cape-like collar. The coat
has sleeves, so that she is free to play
while wearing it. It is made of heavy
white Turkish toweling. The front is
enlbellished by a large sailboat cut out
of red oilcloth and stitched on one side.
A simple bathrobe pattern is used for
the coat, the hood is cut in two pieces,
and stitched together. and as for the
motif, any sort of design can be used,
cut out of any color of oilcloth.
