And now we even have the President of these United States coui- p|ainiug that the White House ill city is not all that it is cracked up to be: that q rural White House. perhaps near a purling brook or a tish-laden lake. would be q superior article.

 II is as clear as sunlight on mountain top that the President would like 10 be someW here where there would not be eternal t1sta- lions by congressional gentry. gov ernment officials, office holders. and the like. What the President needs is more time to himself. Perhaps he can scarcely read two paragraphs of anything before being disturbed by some frenzied caller who has mo- montous affair of office seeking to propound.
 There is something wrong in the Presidents reasoning, however, that rural White House near Wash ,ngton' would suffice to allow the chief eXcutive to escape the heat of the capital during the summer We never heard of 3 pIace near Wa shington' that was any cooler than the city except for the ab- sence of hot payementS.

AS suggested before. the entire attitude
and sphere Of opportunity for the young
woman Is so different from that Of the
woman OF a couple of decades ago that
the problem Is virtually new one. To
be sure, the advent OF children upon

years OF married life Of the Young

TACT. such complication removes one
OF the partners from the income pro-
ductng side. At the same time, II the
children are deferred for a season until
the new family is on its feet financially.
or II the parents of the newlyweds are
able to carry that risk with all the rest,
the ultimate outcome is no worse than
a postponement of the marriage until
