the quiet grace of an older woman who
has tasted deeply of life. Tell them
this-ny best advice about children
is have 'enn, love EN-, and leave 'eni
alone.
Mrs Lowndes does not believe mar
riage is natural state. No, people
confuse marriage with mating Mating
is natural, but staying with man
years after the first glamour has
faded is not natural.
ITO make marriage last through
lifetime, a man or woman needs all
the help heaven and human decency
and sense of values can give. I think
the French idea actually works out
best. IF parents are intelligent and nn-
selfish, they usually can select hus-
band for their daughter and a wife for
their son who will fit best into the
marriage span, partner who brings
them qualities most needed to carry
the unnatural state of being married
into a higher and more permanent
human companionship.
And of course, there must be
children. Please tell your readers for
me-and / am old enough to have
some experienced Judgment that
these women who are waiting until it
is convenient to have babies, viii find
that it is never convenient. And in
the end they will only be cheating
themselves"

Flower BORDERS
Improve Gardens

That path leading up to the house
would look lovelier with q flower
border. How about a combination of
dwarf scarlet sage edged with blue
ageratum, or perhaps scarlet sage
edged with coleus7
OF course, only the Larger and wider
borders should be planted with two
or more kinds of flowers of similar
or different heights. When the heights
differ, the taller ones should be given
central rows, while the dwarfs should
form the edge.
What flowers are best2 A matter of
taste, but David Burpee has few
ideas. TRY these combinations petunia

put ehlosia, fire feather with sweet

For the very narrow border it is
wiser to use only one kind of plant.

tinuously until frost" Mr.. Burpee adj

Treat Children
AS Grownups :
SAYS Grandmother
BY MRS. PENRosE LYLY

Whenever hear of bad children, I
can never believe it's not the parents
fault. Intelligent parents don't have
bad children, except once in mil
lion"
Such is the opinion of Marie Belloe
Lowndes. Safely past the meridian
of her life, grandmother, a noted
author of book (and this should be-
wilder you) in which horror is the
popular theme, sister of the interna-
tionally known essayist, Hilaire BelIoe,
and wife of a London newspaperman,
fully and with calm and appraising
eyes.
Yes, think life is a balanced ra-
tion," she says "a bad youth usually
gives one good old age, long periods
of trouble seem to be followed by days
of pleasant calm, sorrow and happi-
ness, tragedy and romance--they all
get mixed up over the course of years
and the result is balanced ration
which seems to keep the soul fairly
healthy.
You ask me what + would say to
young mothers. Well, first, don't talk
rubbish to your children. Reason witt,
a child when possible. And don't, above
all things, say to him I'm your mother,
therefore I am right. Treat those
little children much as you would treat
grownups. They are reasoning human
beings, even though they are small.
They respond TO decent and under
standing treatment.
Marie Belloc Lowndes smiles with
