Mothers are perfectly justified in letting children to their own decid- ing, without coming to headquarters to have their minds made up for them
 The other day, two sisters could not agree o1 what movie to attend. Jane was all set on musical film. Dorothy said she hated singing shows.
 Yet they could not go alone, as both theaters were at some dis- tance. It was a rule that they had to stick together on their forays into the city.
 "What shall we do mother?" asked Jane. "You'd better settle 1t for us Each of us thinks she is right. We'll do whatever you say, though" Mothers Inspiration It suddenly occurred to their mother that she had to decide too many thinngs for her girls. Why couldn't they take some responsi- bility and leave her out of 1t? If she took sides, then the other would feel hurt. It wasn't fair for them to corner her day after day, and get her ideas as they would bar of chocolate after putting a nickel in slot and pushing, a knob. Why should she be consatrly tapped this way, and worried after 1t was over because she hadn't seemed fair?
 So she said, "Talk 1t over be- tween yourselves and do as you like, my dears. I have provided the quarters and carfare, your nice coats and new hats. The rest should be your affair"
 Jane and Dorothy sat down in silence. Then Jane said, T took your library book back this mornintI when you asked me to-"
 But Dorothy countered with, "1 did the dishes yesterday when you said you had to hurry for prac- tice."
 Jane said, "Last time we went to see a show, didn't want to go."' And Dorothy repeated, Neither did

Ruth MIett Introduces Most Successful Woman In World
Never Heard of Her? Likely, She's One

I She knows how to buy groceries, so that even rather small pay check provides nourishing food for six. She can make one-egg cake that her husband and children relish as much as they possibly could 12- egg angel food. And the cake al- ways has frosting.
 You know she has only one "best" dress. But whenever you see her at church of parent-teachers' meet ing she looks neat-even pretty, with her bright eyes and her soft mouth.
 Her four children are well-be- haved-as children go-and remen1- Der more often than they forget that they aren't to walk in front of people or say "Huh?" to grown-ups.
 Jim Adams takes great pride in his home, mowingn the lawn in summer and choppinng wood for the fireplace in winter. You sense, somehow, that Mrs. Adams pride is contagious.
 Usually all six of the Adamses go to church together. But sometimes in the summer they spend the time out in the country. Walking in the woods or sharing picnic lunch in the park is such a satisfactory sub- stitute for golf or tennis or swim ming and none of them feels cheated.
 The Adamses have bad times of course. There was the time Junior had a painful mastoid operation and the time that Jim was very bad" with pneumonia. But think ing about them, you know they will get through the coming year with out help from anyone. Just as they got through the year that is now ending. And you feel that life will never seem unbearingly dark to any one of them for more than minutes at time.
 For Mrs. Adams Is @ successful woman-the most successful woman in the world.
