Spell for
The Family
Break Home Tension
With Period of
Freedom.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

A CONSIDERABLE number of the
difficulties parents have with chill
dren, and teachers with pupils. can
be traced to the tensions they create
themselves. Nervous tension that Gre
ates fear, anxiety, irritability and tenn
per in the mind of the adult seeps
through to the children. They feel
what is going on ih the minds of those
about them, and their conduct is at-
fected by that feeling.
Parents do not know this. A highly
nervous mother, tense in every mus
Gle. her voice sharp, her movements
abrupt and restless. goes to the school
and says. II wish you'd do something
about Carl. He is getting on my nerves
so that I'm ready to fly out of the
window. He fuses and fidgetS, he
talks back, he cries when scold him.
What can be done with him?"
The question should be, What can
be done for him?" And the answer
might be, Send him away for a va
cation or send his mother away for
a rest" The boy feels the tension
that is working in his mother. He is
uneasy under her constant reproacheS,
her constant follow-up. He is never
certain about her feelings or her ac-
tions, and consequently he takes on
tensions in his turn. If his tired
mother could have a rest, away from
the family for time, the boy would
soon recover his normal good health
and behavior.
II is not always mother who is the
tense one. Other members of the FAM
lily are afflicted with the same trou-
BILE These are trying days for every
body, especially for those of us who
have to earn our living. Nerves are
strained and f1dgety. Doubts and wor-
ries beset us. Unless we find some way
of relieving these tensions we carry
them home and pass them along to
the rest of the family until the whole
group is as brittle as spun glass.
We cannot all go on vacation. We
cannot break up family and send
each to a quiet place to restore his
soul. But We must try to find release
in some pleasant way and help our
selves to establish better atmosphere
in our homes.
1t is good to get out of the house
hn IIctIo1 routine
away from the familiar duties and
the familiar things of home. Most peo-
pie have cars, and the roads are good.
Why not pick up the troubles and
take them out to the open country
and leave them there on the bosom
of Old Mother Earth herself? 1t is
the best of all cures for family ten
sionS.
Let those who like to fish, fish;
those who like to climb, go to it. The
one who wants to stay by himself and
study the depths of the high blue
sky needs to do just that and ought
to be encouraged to it, What makes
living in families so hard at times is
the feeling that one must share in all
that the others are doing or be dis"
loyal That is strain on any ones
nerves. 1t is trying to be some one
else, and there is nothing more pain
full than that.
Get away. Lose each other for the
hour or the day. Throw away the feel
ing of family responsibility for the
brief period of freedom. The whole
family will come back refreshed,
frightened, and far more affectionate.
The tensions will be lesSened and the
problems so much simpler than one
dreamed possible. And the children
will be good"

~ EAR MISS DIX Il am
young girl and my mother
disapproves Of my going dt
~ with a married man. Why
shouldn't l if l want to? find mar
ried men much more attractive than
boys. Also. they give me a better time
because they have more money to
spend. I think my mother is old
fashioned in her ideas and l do not
pay any attention to anything she
says. PEARL.
Answer-The time will come, Pearl.
when you will wish you had listened to
your mothers advice when she coun-
seled you against going out with mar
ried men. Maybe she is old-fashioned
but so are the Ten Commandments,
and no girl has ever been sorry who
followed her mothers admonitions
and who took the Ten Commandments
for her code of conduct. There is
something in one of them that will
just fit your case. 1t is about covet-
ing your neighbor's husband. Better
look it up. 1t will be good reading for
you.
X X
THERE are any number of good
reasons why girl should not 60
out with married men. The one that
should appeal mostly to her conscience
is that when she does so she is doing
a deadly wrong to a sister woman.
She Is taking a husband away from
his wife: she is robbing children of
their father and wrecking a home,
and if there is any crime blacker than
that, I don't know what it is.
OF course. the girls alibi is that the
man who philanders with her isn't
true to his wife, anyway, and if he
wasn't making love to her and spend
ing his money on her he would be
kissing some other girl and buying
her pretties. But what the man does
is no excuse for the girls part in The
sordid transaction. She doesn't have
to be an accessory to his crime.
Many girls go around with married
men because they think it shows how
fascinating they are to be able to
take man away from his wife, but
that is where they make their big
mistake. 1t is no trick at all for a
pretty, slim, gay young girl to wheedle
a middle-aged man from wife who
is fat and griZzled, and has got tired
and Sobered down bearing children
and helping him make his fortune.

And the Silliest of girls must know
that if she goes with married men sin
gle men will pass her up. She will be
cut of their class. for cne thing. and, for
another. the world always believes the
worst of an affair between girl and
a married man, and not many young
men want a married mans leavings.
Every girl who goes out with married
men does something that she prays
no other girl will do to her when she

Follow your favorite recipe for
raised rolls, but substitute tomato
juice for the water. The result is
healthful food, combining vitaminS,
minerals and carbohydrates. These
rolls, when broken, are a delicate,
blush pink.
'"The purpose of eating is not only
to satisfy the stomach, but also to
please the eye and to start conversa-
ton. A new and unexpected food will

FURTHERMORE, for a girl to go
about with married men is poor
business for her and is the surest cut
she can take to the Spinster's Retreat.
Maybe she gets more presents from
the married man than the boy friend
could give her, and is taken to more
expensive places to dine and dance for
a little while. but the married man
doesn't carry wedding ring loose in
his pocket He may tell the girl how
unhappy he is at home. but he goes
back to it after the frolic is over. He
may claim that his wife doesn't un-
derstand him, but he hasn't the faint
est notion of divorcing her. 1t is
amazing how husbands cling to the
wives to whom they are unfaithful.
So what? Occasionally a girl sue
ceeds in making a man divorce his
wife and marry her. but not often,
and she seldom builds house of hap
piness on the ruins of the home she
has wrecked. Sometimes the girl falls
so much in love with the married man
who cannot and will not marry her
that she ruins her own life by be-
coming a "back-street wife" or else
she becomes sour and cynical with
the knowledge that she has wasted
all of her youth and beauty and en-
thusiasm on a man to whom she
was one of many playthings, and who
threw her away when he got tired OF
her.
