Many mothers write these notes for
the children themselves, because. in
the long run, it is lot easier than
battling the young one who wants to
play with his gift instead of writing
about it. But this is one of the times
when the line of least resistance is
definitely bad, in that the effects of
such submission will be felt in the
ehild's character forever.

Dorothy Dix Says

~ EAR MISS DIX Il have a
son who is big, strong and
handsome; smart, a college
graduate, who holds a fine
teaching position. He earned his ed
ucation himself and his clothes after
he was 20. He Is proud of his connec-
tions, his educated and influential
friends and likes to bring them home
to meet his family. But he breaks my
heart by saying now to me. his
mother, that he owes me no obligation
and brazenly asks: What did you ever
do for me?" A MOTHER.
Answer: That is hard question for
you to answer because If any mother
made a list of the things she has done
for her child not all the ledgers in the
world would hold it, 1t would show an
Indebtedness so great that he could not
hope to pay it off in dozen lifetimes.
WHEN your son asks you what you
have done for him you might
say to him: Il went down into the val
ley of the shadow of death and en-
dured the agony that is the symbol of
supreme suffering to bring you into
the world. Perhaps you may say that
the gift Of life is no great gift, but
such as it is, it is the one thing that
you hold dearest and with which you
would not part for any price that might
be offered you.
You can say to him: II gave you

average person possesses to deny him.
Sometimes the question is simplified
as to whether the boss shall eat candy

Whatever the method, Pups and

he expected the little fellow to have
f1rst-class care. Don't let the whole
family maui him about. Too much
handling is bad. The person he
chooses for his boss should show him
his bed and establish friendly rela-
tions by Offering a little raw ham,
burger or warm milk. He must have
few square feet of personal property.
From this point Of vantage he can
gaze at the world. Don't plan to give
him away because he howled last
night. He'll likely stage a repeat per-
formance tonight. Feed him before
he goes to bed. Then shut him up in
his box. but be very sure that he's
warm and comfortable. There may
not be any safety pins to worry over,
but he must be warm and snug. He'll
stop bowling when he gets use to
things.

BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I am going to
meet a friend who Is returning
from abroad. My being at the boat
will be a surprise to her, as I only
just learned that no one was to be
there. I have really very little money
at the moment, which she does not
know. All this is prelude to asking
whether, If we lunch in town before
going home to the suburbs, am safe
in taking it for granted that she will
expect to pay her own check.
Answer-It seems to me that If you
asked, do you want to go straight
home or could we lunch somewhere?"
there would be a chance that she
might interpret your question as an
invitation to lunch with you. So.
under the circumstances. 1t would
probably be safer to say frankly. Are
you going to lunch in town; if you are,
will you make it an inexpensive place
SO can go with you?"

ment. My position at the table is at
the hosts right. They have only one
maid and consequently most of the
carving is done at the table by the
host, and plates are usually passed up
the table from one to the other. The
host always passes the first plate to me
and I never know whether I am sup
posed to keep it or pass it. I feel
that perhaps I'm being discourteous
in not keeping it.
Answer-If he simply hands the
first plate to you. you should pass it
on up the table because you are not
really guest but living in the family
On the other hand, if he asks you.
do you like light meat or dark?" or
in any way serves you in answer to the
question he puts to you. you keep the
plate and pass the next one.

DEAR MRS. POST: 1t is my per-
sonal opinion that inasmuch as
the cream sauce with which certain
vegetables are served is just as good
as the vegetables themselves, it is
sensible to eat this with a spoon. How
ever, my wife disagrees with me and
says that spoon Is never used to eat
vegetables. I'm sure you of all people
would least like to know the silly
claims my wife makes In the name Of
etiquette.
Answer am afraid you will have
to do without spoon for your vege-
tables, unless you don't mind a nursery
rating in table manners. Seriously. if
you choose to use spoon in your own
house, you have every right to do so
even though, according to the rules
Of etiquette, it is not correct

have the farthest distance to go. Two
or three at time are plenty. In that
way each letter will be bright and in
dividual and the bored writer will not
descend to such unnerving trivia as
1T was just what I wanted How
did you guess that was just what I
wanted" II just wanted to thank you
for the beautiful present, it was so
nice of you to send it to me, thank
you again, wishing you a happy New
Year." etc.
INSIST that the letters be carefully
written and worded spontaneously.
If the child really likes his gift he
should be encouraged to put his feel
ing into words. If he doesn't like it
land such awful situations do occur
then the matter must be tactfully
handled and the youngster initiated
into the gentle art of writing an ade-
quate acknowledgment without saying
anything! He needn't dwell too much
on the object itself-he can always
stress the thought and trouble which
went into its purchase and he can
remark on the general jollity of his
Christmas and how lucky he feels
himself to be.
Often making copies will save tears,
note paper and ink spots. 1t may add
to the length of the time taken away
from the playthings. but it certainly
insures better results. For very young
writer's it is well to rule the final note
paper lightly in pencil. The marks
may be erased before the sheet Is
slipped into the envelope.
If you can, set aside one hour each
day until all the 'thank-you' notes
are written and mailed. The child
won't like it, an neither will you,
but it will do him lot of good and.
incidentally, give your patience and
self-control workout. Together you
and your youngster will be tying closer
the bonds of friendship with all those
who have taken the trouble to ex-
press their affection for you and for
him-and surely friendship is one Of
the greatest insurances for a success
full life that there can be!
Don't deny your youngster that in
surance! Don't let him grow up to be
an inarticulate grabber!

Christmas, 1T was sweet Of you, old
dear, to think of us. but we really can't

But that wouldn't be nice. Yet the
horrible fact remains that there are

Sometimes you can arrange things
so that for the first call from each rel

takes scheming and sometimes bit Of
duplicity. But II you like to make
