Written Charges
Will Wipe Out
Black Mood.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

HE HIT me and kicked me down
the stairs and made my nose
bleed, and Tommy called me bad
names and he made me 90 back to
the room, and he soaked me one be-
hind the ear, and I wanted to wash
my face, and just because 1 happened
to step on his toe he soaked me
and"
wait a minute, wait a minute.
Who soaked you?"
He did. and he needn't say he
didn't, and when was going upstairs
he told me it was all my fault, and
when I get hold of him"
"Simmie, sit down. Now keep still.
Don't speak again until the hand on
the clock touches that four. See it?
Sit right there
After five minutes were up Simmie
started again, but his wrath swept
over him once more and again he
shouted charges that should have
placed somebody in Jail had they been
anywhere near what they sounded
to be.
"Ill tell you what you do, Simmie.
Wash your face and hands. clean, and
brush your hair. Then come back.
Right in there. Yes. I'll be right here
when you are ready"
1t took Simmie quite a while, but
when he came out Of the wash room
he was quieter. Now what is It.
Simmie?"
Il was coming downstairs and he
soaked me-" Again rage overlook
Simmie and his words tumbled over
each other, smothering any sense they
might have had
Here! Sit down. Write your story.
Don't tell me anything more Write
it. When you have written 1t clearly,
so you can read it to me, I'll listen.
Now go ahead"
1t took Simmie several days to get
that composition down on paper. Fin
ally he brought it to the desk. It was
short and clear. Tommy chased me
downstairs and poked him in the
ribs. He hit me back and Mr.. Clark
sent us both upstairs to our rooms.
I got very mad.
Yours truly,
"SIMMIE."

to ask people who have charges to

we have no energy left for rage.

Girls in Their Early Teens Are
A Big Problem to Parents.

bile. and make her realize that there
Will be time enough for her to 20 to
parties and have good times when
she Is five br six years older.
But the strong-arm method OF
ruling youngsters doesn't work in
these days of emancipated children.
To lock jamie in her room would only
mean that she would climb out of
the window. To forbid the boy friend
to come TO the house would Just send
her out to meet him on the street cor
ner. Nor does any one know any
formula for making a lovesick school,
girl think of her lessons instead of
some curly headed LAD who is the
temporary object of her affections.
Neither has any scientist discovered
how to put an old head on Young
shoulders. AS for convincing any
girl or boy that it is worth sacrificing
present pleasure for future gains. it
can't be done. They want what they
want when they want it.
So there the parents are who have
to deal with this problem Of the IL
or 13 year old girl who is still an igno-
rant, blundering helpless little child.
but who thinks she is woman of
the world and demands her privileges,
and how to solve it no one can tell
them. One can only say to be very
gentle with them. Drive with a light
rein and use the diplomacy of Machia-
velli himself in dealing with them.
And with luck you will get jamie safely
past the dangerous age.

Better Form
ToChang'e
Partners
Host Should Dance
With Every Girl
On His arty.
BY EMILY POST.

-DEAR MRS. POST: Is there any
set rule applying to the changing
OF partners when several couples 20
dancing together? For instance. there
are three couples, let's say. two of
whom know each other quite well. and
the third knowing only one of the
other couples. Whose responsibility
would 1t be to start the changing OF
partners? Six of us went dancing
the other evening and there was no
changing of partners throughout the
entire evening. Mother thought this
decidedly strange. which is why / am
writing for your opinion.
Answer: AS usual thing. people
dance as they choose. and the only
responsibility of the host is when a
Hrl is left sitting alone. He then must
go look after her. To me it seems
strange that the people you we're with
danced with the same partners all
evening, but I have heard that this
custom exists in certain communities.
Personally think it better fun as well
as better form to dance with many
partners-unless your own happens to
be the only good dancer in the room
or, to you, the only one in the world
H&
NEAR MRS. POST: I've had

about the good taste of giving COM
pliments. 1t is not overdone? My wife.
on the other hand, feels that it shows
appreciation.
Answer: If We didn't say some
thing sometimes about the becoming
ness of friends dress or the beauty
OF her new car, We would be thought
lacking in friendly interest as we'll as
in perception. But to go about paying
fulsome compliments to every one
without sincerity or discrimination is
one definition of bore.

4 turning fathers and mothers
I gray before their time is
~ what to do about their 12-
and-l3-year-o daughters who are
boy-crazy and think they are in love;
who want to have dates every night;
60 out to parties and automobile rides
and enjoy all the privileges Of grown
up young ladies.
OF course the adolescent girl has al
ways been a headache to her parents,
but heretofore the agony has not come
on 50 soon. Mother had a brief re-
spite between the time she ceased
walking jamie with the collie at night
and the time she began lying awake
at night wondering where jamie was
and picturing her mangled form lying
under wrecked automobile on the
way to some road house, but now that
blessed season Of rest and peace is
gone.
There are no more little girls. The
young female Of the species is either
a baby or a flapper. She cuts her
teeth on a movie magazine. She
learns to read pursuing the amorous
adventures Of cinema stars. Her one
burning desire is not to be good or
great, but glamorous. Her ambition
is to be supervamp and lead a life
Of hectic adventure that is surrounded
by sable coats and pearl necklaces
and things.
The little girl of II or II who wore
her hair in braids down her back, who
played with dolls and "lady-come-to-
see" is as extinct as the dodo. In her
place We have the young miss who
cries for latch key instead of lolly-
pops; who paints herself up like an in
fantile Jezebel; who demands a black
velvet evening dress; who loudly as
serts that she is perfectly capable of
taking care Of herself and who does
not hesitate to let her mother and
father know that she regards their
opinion as something musty and fusty
that has been brought down from the
lAlI trunk In tne Auto.
THERE are millions of bewildered
and heart-sick fathers and
mothers who are looking into the
faces of the young rebels who have
suddenly sprung up in their homes
and wondering what to do about it
and how they can save these head
strong little innocents from wrecking
their lives by their folly. For mother
and father know how faulty is a
child's judgment; how weak young
shoulders are, how untitled to bear the
burdens of life and how easily young
girls feet stray into the path from
which there is no returning. And
above all they know how idle is the
boast of sophistication Of one who has
only seen the world from her nursery
window.
But here is jamie still a child in
years. in mind. in body. clamoring
for freedom and the right to do as
she pleases. Resenting parental re-
straint. Wanting all the emotions
and experiences OF womanhood be-
fore her time and before she has the
wisdom and poise to deal with them
safely. Playing with love as a child
plays with fire. And regarding father
and mother as tyrants If they try to
control her or safeguard her.
It's easy enough to say that Janie's
parents should turn her across their
knees. give her . spanking, send her
to bed without her supper and tell
her to forget all about the boy friend
and going out in Johnnie's automo-
