A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW WHO
LIKES 1T.
Answer: Fine. Would that there
were more young wives who followed
your example, for when the mother
in-law and daughter-i -in-law don't get
along together it is usually a fifty
fifty proposition in which the young
woman is as much to blame as the
older one.
Grant that there are too many pos
sessive mothers who can't bear to
give their sons up to any other woman,
there are an equal number of girls
who 60 into marriage with a chip on
their shoulders for their husbands
mother and are ready to fight at the
drop of hat. They show no SYM
pathy or understanding for the older
women. They flaunt their power over
their husbands in their faces. They
make no effort to get along with
them. And they regard every sug-
gestion that they make as a deadly
insult.
Every mother knows that whether
she keeps her son or loses him when
he marries depends entirely upon his
wife's attitude toward her. Men are
like putty in their wives hands and
so if the wife is antagonistic to her
husbands mother he soon begins to
discover faults in mother that he
never perceived before. Besides, men
don't like feminine fights and scenes,
so If wife and mother quarrel and if
wife is never willing to go to mothers
or to have her come on a visit, It isn't
long before mother virtually passes
out of the picture.
The young woman may think this
triumph, but it Is a hollow victory
and costly one, because while her
husband may be weak enough to give
in to her for the sake of peace, he
never fails to resent it in his secret
heart. His love for his mother is at
the very root of his being and wife
tries to destroy this at her peril
Nothing kills a mans love for his
wife so quickly as for her to treat
his mother badly, and nothing in
creaSes it more than for her to be
good to his mother.
The mother-in- and daughter
in-law relationship can be a very
beautiful and helpful one to both and
it is pity that more women have
not intelligence enough and good
feeling enough to cultivate it.

do they get harsh and hard after

the same handle so that one may
always be in the laundry AS they
may be kept so clean they are equally
useful on the walls, ceiling and over
doors and windows.
In case you are one of those who
prefer to wash the linoleum kitchen
floor rather than wax it, there Is an
oil soap that comes in bucket which
works very well on hardwood floors

cleaning ability and leaves q slight
sheen of polish in its wake. The oil

ideas for the well-dressed closet.
If you are putting away the winter
Woolies you may be interested in the

Several companies here in town
offer a very useful service for the
safe storage of winter clothes. They
will deliver to your house a large
wardrobe trunk into which you place
the coats. suits and furs on hangers
1t Is then pumped full of q guaran-
teed fumigant, locked by you, in
sured and stored in fireproof storage
until you ask to have it delivered next
fall. The cost for all of this is not
much more than for the storage Of
one good fur coat, and the posses
sions Of the whole family are safely
cared for. Best Of all, everything
comes out OF the trunk ready to put
on, creaseless and odorless with no
extra expenditure necessary for press
ing.

your slip covers made. They are

days. Later, unfortunately, this in
terest is apt to pail. and unless some
adult member of the family has a
tender heart and stern conscience,
the little animal will have a thin time
of it. 1t is good for the child's char
acter to keep him at the job Of car
ing for his pet-but it requires infinite
patience and thought on the part OF
the grown-up. 1t should be done,
both for the good of the child and the
good of the animal.
X X X X
TOO many pets are mauled and
frightened to death. Too much
affection proves fatal. They are ex-
hausted, nerve-shattered, and actually
smothered by the tight clutching Of
hot little hands and the perpetual
caresses. Think what would happen
to human baby in the hands of an
overaffectionate giant-it wouldn't
last very long
The child should be impressed with
the fact that a baby animal is not
an inanimate toy. It has feelings
and emotions like any other living
thing. 1t is easily frightened It
must breathe to exist. And it can
only eat the things that Nature has
decreed for it, in the quantities for
which it has capacity.
Explain all this to the youngster
before entrusting the little animal to
his care. Make him realize that too
much handling is bad, that the pet
will only learn to love and trust him
by being let alone, treated gently and
spoken to softly and kindly. An ami
NAL that comes and sits in ones lap
of its own accord is vastly more to
its owners credit than one that is
caught and held there by sheer force.
The child will understand this if you
tell him. And his pride will be to
win the pets confidence and affec-
ton, rather than to overcome its re-
sistance by strength and bullying.
Make some youngster happy this
Easter with a living pet-but don't
bring death and misery on the baby
animal by doing SO!

anything in the world.
In case you would like to win a
medal for the most sparkling windows
in the neighborhood you might try
a new preparation put up like your
best perfume in an atomizer. You
press little button. spray a bit of
the liquid on the window, wipe it of
with a soft cloth and it is as clean
as a whistle. Still another is guar
anteed to clean, polish and dry all
with one operation. 1t is on a long
stick, SO you may throw away the
pan of water, the wet cloth, the dry
cloth and the step ladder all at "onc
fell swoop"
If you have grandmother hand
hooked rugs that you prize too highly
to send out to be washed, or cannot
afford to have done professionally,
put a cushion under your knees and
prepare to do them yourself. There
is a powdered preparation put up in
small bags and packed in box which
will do the trick. do not know what
1t is made of-but it smells clean and
sweet like the yucca root Indian girls
use to shampoo their hair, and as
have used it for a year I can recon-
mend its cleansing quality and the
fact that 1t does not even chap the
hands. Following the directions, you
mix this with hot water, which makes
a sudsy liquid. With a small scrub
brush you work over small area at
time and wipe it with clean sponge
The colors come up in all their origi-
nal glory; they do not run or fade,
and you may shampoo the rug right
in its usual place as long as you do
not walk on it until it is dry. Its
cleanliness, in case your back aches,
will give you great joy for six months,
ard the gentleness Of the treatment
will convince you that your grand
children will inherit your 9xl2 hooked
rug because of your loving care of it!
You may also use this preparation
for Oriental rugs and delicate up
hclstery.
THE day is not far off when we shall

Every year the butterfly bush,

each year seems to bring at least
one new and improved variety.
In the North the tops of this

in the spring to produce spikes

Instill Love
Reading
In Child
BY ANGELO PATRI.

A N 1l-year-old boy dislikes reading
so much that he will not touch
book save those he is obliged to
use for study. He does not read
for pleasure. That means that he is
missing one of the joys of life. There
Is no other pleasure quite so restful,
50 relieving, as that one gets in read
ing the book of his choice. And it
is always so close at hand.
One has to dress to go to the
movies. and sit there. hat on lap,
neighbors pressing right and left. in
the darkened theater, tied to the
chair for a couple Of hours, until
the picture ends. One cannot choose
the show or the picture. One takes
what is offered. And pays, maybe to
be bored, perhaps to be pleased, and
then gets home and to bed.
But q book waits on the table,
beside the chair and the lamp. One
sits down, in the easy chair, in the
peace Of home. opens his book and
steps out of this world into the chosen
one. for as long as one wishes. Nothing
easier. Good books are read and re-
read. Other entertainments are en-
joyed once. The book costs about
the price of one good show and lasts
lifetime
Reading for pleasure is something
one can do night after night without
WEAKNESS. Any free hour of the day
can be used in reading to the ad-
vantage Of the mind and spirit. If
sorrow presses, if anxiety besets one,
If idleness is enforced upon one, the
book is waiting to bring Joy and
relief and healing. A child who does
not learn to read for pleasure is surely
going to miss new world, his glimpse
Of heaven on earth.
Maybe his eyes are poor? I can
think of no other reason for q dis
taste for a story. All of us, of any
age, love stories. Maybe NJ only
thinks he does not want to read.
Perhaps, If someone who loved story
especially well read it to him, he would
want TO read one as good for himself.
I would like to try that on him.
Then I would like to try him with

Is bound to make any boys heart

and then offer to lend the book to

what happens.
There is something the matter with

have never met him. have met
the boy who disliked reading because
it hurt his eyes. Nobody knew his
eyes were bad, not even he. But when
the other boys lined up to get first
chance at q story and he shrugged
and went the other way, we tested
his eyes and gave him pair of
glasses, after which he headed the
library line for some time.
Love OF good reading must be cult
waited, and the best way to begin is
to give the children books they like,
even If we do not care for them very
much. After all, our reading diet
ought to be different from the chill
dren's list. Don't try to push the
classics down. Be content with a good
story and leave the growth Of the
child's taste to experience and time.

man who wants me to marry him

Answer: It depends upon whether
you regard marriage as a business

think of marriage as settling yourself
in life and providing for your future,
as having your own home, your own

cause the dirndl is one of the most
popular fashions to bloom this spring

rest and proper feeding They can
not stand too much handling, too much
excitement and any old food. If they
are to live and to thrive they must
be cared for like any other small living
thing, and that, usually, is a duty
which devolves upon mother, or a
nurse, for children, unless bullied into
it, will not keep up a routine task for

not the gift will lead happy. healthy
