The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-06-15

When school is over for the
first week or two the children are
as busy as one-armed drummers
With their first taste Of liberty
they find plenty to do. All the
things they haven't found time for
they now go at head over heels.
When they are not busy they are
at least mentally content in the
first flush of freedom.
And then things lose their edge.
Gradually life flatetns out again
and becomes more or less of
vacuum. Laziness sets in and
laziness begets distemper. Quar-
rels are in order and. their moth
ers begin to look at the calendar
and compute the number of weeks
until school begins again.
Let's Find the Reasons
Now let us see what things
contribute to summer quarreling.
First of all idleness. Play, real
play, is not idleness. When chill
dren play there are of course dis
putes. I don't give a nickel for
child who doesn't get into a
good healthy dispute once in
awhile, even to losing his temper
and seeking somebody on the jaw
if need be. There is a lot to be
said about this reaction of char
acter on character, but not here
to-day. We must stick to the sub
ject in hand.
The second cause of i'll temper,
the chronic crouch, is getting up
too late, stringing down one by
one to an upset breakfast table
and eating cold left-overs. sad
fruit, and SO on. A. regular get
ting UP hour, for all at the same
time, starts the day right in vaca-
ton time as we'll as in school time.

1. No. and they never will.
Loves young dream" as Ludwig
Lewson has profoundly said, lis
always faith in permanence and
a dream of immortalityi it is a
faith that this rapture will endure.
And this faith OF youth is, whether
youth konws 1t or not, faith In the
race. faith in his group, and in the
values which his ancestors have
created for him to enlarge and
clense and perpetuate." The very
essence of love is faith that others
may have failed. but we shall not;
a faith that our love is different"
Young loves thinks and believes
that love will live foreyer--and the
most respondent thing in human
nature is that 1t 50 often does.

Third, an unplanned day. Drift
ing gives anyone the filters. Proof
of the tragedy OF unfulfilled time
has been demonstrated by our un-
employed men. ITO be busy" has
been even louder cry than ito
make money"
The mind that has no goal,
nothing for it to get its teeth into,
so to speak, turns back on itself
for relief and all sorts Of things
happen. Queer things, too. I
wish 1 could explain here some
of the psychology of idleness. But
one matter I may mention briefly.
The mind has to be busy. When
it falls back on its own emotions
for exercise. What emotions give
the mind the most relief? Self
pity is one. rage or resentment is
another. Odd as it seems both
rage and resentment are very en-
joyable emotions.
And Too Many Chores
Fourth, the other extreme Of
filling a child's time completely
with home tasks that don't inter-
est him and giving him no time
off for himself. Interest in other
peoples work cannot give salts
faction to child for a very long
period. He must have certain
hours for himself.
Let us summarize. Idleness; fr-
regularity of hours, an implanted
day; no time to himself. These
things contribute to quarrels and
sulky tempers.
When a child knows what to
expect and at what time to expect
1t, he is twice the person he would
be as a drifter. 1t is true of every
one, adults as we'll as children.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-06-15

Of us. Many men. easily see them
selves as cheating In business ana
also as kind, church-going, God
fearing, loving fathers at home,
without feeling any twinkle of con-
science. They are not so much con-
scious hypocrites- people rarely
areas that they have never seen
the absurd Inconsistency between
these two selves they are carrying
through life. They are just like the
boy who tries to be a good little
boy at home and also tough little
guy with the gang. And so men
who are crooked in business and
straight outside do not see that
what they lack is consistent, uni-
fied, logical character that IS doml-

ROBERTS PICNIC

This has been great day for lit
tie four-year-old Robert Johnson,
from the moment when his mother
and he set out in the family car to
collect the children he had invited
to his picnic, to that other moment
when he was brought downstairs in
his pyjamas, rosy from his bath,
sleepy-eyed, and still clutching a
daisy wreath, to say goodnight to
the doctor.
I had had the honor of being
one of Roberts guests, and after
wards, at his insistence, had re-
turned home with the family.
When 1 drove'my car into the daisy
field which was the scene of the
picnic that afternoon. the "eats"
were over. Everything had been
picked up and paper burned in the
careful johnson way, and l NOTICED
with approval that sand had been
shoveled on to the ashes of the fire.
Everyone appeared to be busily
making daisy chains, and Mrs
Johnson was adorned with the chill
dren's offerings until she looked
like a May Queen. Robert brought
me a wreath he had just finished,
remarking, Mother said we could
pick daisies&' Don't You always
pick wild flowers" I asked him,
but he just shook his head and
ran off.
Mrs johnson smiled at me. Pm
trying to teach the children to en-
joy seeing wild flowers grow with
out picking them" she said. "Of
course four years old is rather
young to take an altruistic point
of view, so Robert and / agree on
certain flowers that may be picked
because there are so many OF
them or because the farmers don't
like them"
"A very good idea" replied,
ed it?" Eyes, indeed; with real en-
thusiasm. Even impulsive Claire
dances round a trillium or tiger
lily now without touching it. And

If she finds other people picking

her little friends to her point of
view," / remarked, 1--WE might save
some of the beautiful wild flowers
that seem doomed to die out"
AS we talked we were strolling
down to the lake shore, and sud-
denly there was chorus of chill
dren's voices behind us, Look out
for poison ivy!" I had been quite
conscious of the nearness of the
dangerous three-leaved creeper that
grows in such profusion in our
neighborhood, but l called back,
Where is it? Show 1t to me-"
Three little people came running
and pointed it out to me with We
hement gestures. Naughty,
naughty ivy!" said the youngest of
the party, mite of three, Nancy

youngsters already knew how to
recognize poison ivy. Every sum-

adults occasionally serious and

Big Brother Bill johnson was a
victim last year, and l suspected
that he had redeemed his promise
to teach the younger children
what he had learned too late. Rob-
ert slipped his hand into mine, and
said. 'sDon't be afraid. Mother will
wash your hands when we get
home; she washes mine-hard."
Mrs Johnson explained that since
Bills bad experience, she had been
taking the precaution of seeing that
the children all gave their hands a
thorough washing with hot water
and soap when they came in from
the woods-just to be on the safe

She was glad that she had bought
the smart white vest for the old
black dress. Not that it mattered
to her what any man but Jack
thought. But still it was nice to
know that other. eyes didn't turn
from you too quickly. If your stock

more likely to keep it's margin

self. This man was about 27

Sue noticed that her father had
forgotten to give her married name
Not Intentionally forgotten. He
really hadn't thought about it.
She smiled and started to talk
to the man. He was nice, she de-
cided. His eyes had a funny way
of crinkling when he laughed. Jack
wouldn't like him.
The tea and sandwiches were
disposed of quickly.

Merryman said. but we have
dinner rather early, Mr. Fairchild.

wiches were few and thin"
While the two men went into
the laboratory that Mr. Merryman
had established in his basement,
Sue helped her mother finish the
dinner preparations. She hummed
a little song under her breath. 1t
was good to be at home. She felt
young and unworried. She didn't
have to think about bills and the
cleaning woman and the lattice
work for the kitchen porch. She
wished Jack could come to dinner,
too. She went to the telephone
and called him.
Jack" she said when she heard
his voice.
"oh yes. Sue. Did you get my
message, dear"
Yes, Jack. We changed our
plans, though, and I'm at home for
dinner-my parents home, mean.
Do you think you can get away"
I'D love to! I'd give a dollar
for some of your mothers biscuits.
Is she having them tonight
They're in the oven and she's
made a caramel pie, too-the kind
that you like"
Jack gave little moan. "oh
Sue, you're tempting me too much.
Tell her not to dare let everybody
eat up the pie! I'll get some when
a come after you. But l guess l
can't miss the conference, Sue.
1t means new feather in your
bonnet If we win our case"
Sue turned away, feeling little
excited. 1t had been weeks since
she and Jack had eaten at her
home. She noticed that Mr. Fair
childs was watching her from the
door.

ute, and just dashing from horse
show or races to dinners or bene-
At garden parties to opening of
night clubs to keep everybody on

The Tuxedo Horse Show, after
pincking the hottest day imaginable
was a tremendous success-every-
body there to see Mrs George B.

was a pretty figure@in an entire

gauntlet gloves and sailor hat ali
tailored from the prettiest print
ed silk.
A Picture of Smartness
For crisp, fresh looking cos
tunes, Mrs James Russell Lowell
was strong contender, one day,
with immaculate organdy scarf
| and tie atop her silk suit, white
orchids on her shoulders and a dia-
mond pin in her little fez.
The wedding of Dorothea Ona-
tivia and Jouett Ross Todd brought
| everybody lucky enough to be in
vited out in their best bib and
| tucker. She was such lovely
bride in cleaning satin and a veil
of Duchess lace and tulle, carry
ing Gala lilies. She had IL brides
maids, all done UP in yellow or
ganza, very summary, and her
matron of honor. her sister, Mrs
Francis Bacon Gilbert, and her lit
tie neice, Clara, both wore del
phinium blue organza. All of her
attendants wore picture hats of
matching horsehair braid and
carried huge bouquets of field
daisies and delphiniums.
Mrs Vanderbilt Exquisite
| Speaking of delphinium blue re-
minds me of the lovely gown Mrs
Virginia Fair Vanderbilt wore to
the Newspaper Women's dinner
dance at the Casino-an exquisite,
summary chiffon in that shade.
And she wore a fox cape that
would make your mouth water, ii
her black and white pearl ring
! hadn't done so already.
Mrs S. Stanwood Menken was
another who looked particularly
distinguished at this party at the
Casino.
At the opening of the Waldorf
Astoria roof, Mrs Richard T. Will
son was the only one present with
foresight enough to have carried
q fan. 1t was a lovely piece, made
of lace and exquisite ivory sticks
New Dinner Gown Intriguing
The chiffon, long-sleeved dinner
gown is very new and popular
this summer. They come backless
though they look demure enough
from the front. And they're usual
ly of mousseline de sole or cob
webby lace or figured chiffon. Miss
Patricia Martin has a lovely one
of a new wisteria shade that is.
superb with her coloring. She
looks extra nice, with an Alice in
Wonderland jeweled comb.
Sports things in white are the
1 favorites. The newest are the di-
vided skirts, or slit skirts that
make veritable short-legged wide

as Mrs Walter Phelps Jacob.

VARIETY in PRINTS


Summer prints in Stehli silks
give a wide variety for individual
expression. No longer do stylists
say automatically you must wear
large fiorals or small conventional
prints, light backgrounds or dark
backgrounds. This summer you
may wear almost any sort OF print
you like and most of them are
lovely. There are the gay fiorals in
dull red and white on dark blue
ground which are smart trimmed
with red and white flowers to
match those in the print and top
ped with three-quarter length

suit for tea has a jacket and skirt
