led to the discovery of other
receptions, and now the mother
is alarmed.
What did this mother expect?
She attempted the impossible.
She tried to postpone the devel-
opment of an interest in the OPP
posite sex. To her mind Margie
was too young. She did not know,
apparently, that nature prompts
the awakening of sex interest in
a child as his, or her, bodily or
gans develop. You cannot talk a
child out of growth. After all, he
has no control over such things.
When girl begins to find boys
attractive, a mother cannot stop

TREAT YOUNGSTERS SOCIAL GROWTH NATURALLY

LAST YEAR, when Margie was
fourteen, and a group of three
or four boys arrived nightly to
park on the porch steps, mother
thought that she was faced
with a problem. She told the
girl, "You are too young to be
interested in boys. There is
plenty of time for that later"
Soon the young men stopped
coming and mother felt confident
that she had put an end to it.
From now on Margie became
a more active high-school stu
dent. She remained at school
after hours attending French
and glee club meetings. She
went often to the library or
stayed on for special gym ac-
Invites at school. Actually, how
ever, she was meeting the boys.
Now it develops that Margie
has a particular boy friend
whom she meets secretly. This

it. She is foolish to try, as Mar
gie's case proves. 1t is to be
hoped that she won't make the
further mistake now of objecting
to Margie's particular boy
friend. Even if there is good rea-
son to disapprove of him, this
would be the wrong way to go
about breaking up the attach
ment, as it would create SYM
pathy for the boy.
At adolescence children are
being weaned from home ties.
Their mood is ripening for rebel
lion against authority. If girls
are not allowed to meet boys at
home, they will find ways of
meeting them on the outside.
Contact with the opposite sex is
necessary at this time. BY MAX
ing such meetings possible in
the home, boy and girl relation
ships are assured normal, whole
some growth.

years ago that maybe makes
a difference"
"Who were they?"

that she did not fully under

OllS VI NitS Wv IS
matrimony is that two ineNperi-
enced young people are expected
to get along without any re-
hearsal and with no experience
to guide them, which is, of
course, why second marriages so
often are more successful than
first ones.
Among the things Miss Kern
sets out to prove is that while
men may be romantic they are
romantic in different ways
from women" "Great love is a
beautiful thing" she says in
effect, "but in this imperfect
world it is not a common thing,
and there's no reason to feel
defrauded if we don't find it.
Most Of us lead second-best
lives, and second-best lives can
be first-rate fun" The whole
trouble is that the gods have
not given to all people a capa-
city for fun. Without it one is
bound to feel cheated, especially
when one is convinced that life
holds something better than it
has been permitted us to enjoy.
Whether or not men find it
difficult to leap from bachelor
freedom to the bondage of mar
riage, is their secret, and they,
being good sports as rule,
probably wouldn't tell. l have a
suspicion that men do find it
very trying to make the neces-
sary adjustments to even the
happiest marriage.
Women who have had world
ly experiences and who have
been on their own, financially
and otherwise, most certainly do
find such adjustments difficult,
but they are helped in the up
hill fight by a great desire to
make their marriage a success
and to hold their husbands at
almost all costs.
l rather imagine that men
worry rather less on this point.
Having married the woman of
his choice, man is egotistical
enough to believe that he can
hold her.
Even the vainest woman
seems to have her doubts on
that score and is not fortified
by such faith in her own charms.
A great deal of the unhappiness
women suffer is purely imagin-
airy. Men have little time for
misgivings and are not given
to building up eases, or situa-
tions, which have no foundation
in fact.
Yet, all the books ever writ
ten cannot save marriage
unless the couple pulls together
instead of in opposite directions,
and cares enough to make their
marriage a success.

MODERN WOMEN:
men NOT WORRIED AS WIVES
OVER LOSING THEIR MATES
by MIRIAM MAYS MARTIN
by MARIAN MAYS MARTIN

ETIQUETTE demands that hus-
bands give a good account of
their wives and that wives give
three rousing cheers for their
husbands in public no matter
what their private opinions may
be.
No one respects the wife who
whines about her husband or
the husband who constantly
complains about his wife. Hus-
bands are expected to stand up
for their wives and wives are
supposed to respond in kind; so
when l came across the follow
ing in an interesting little vol
ume called &c. ting Along To-
gether," I felt encouraged to
continue with the .."nk. people
don't tell the truth about their
intimate lives, unless those lives
are on the point of public disin-
tegration, and they are likely to
give an emotional distortion of
the truth. AS long as husband
and wife remain together,
united front must be presented
to the world, and we have no
ears for the renegade who gives
his or her mate away with spok-
en- criticism while continuing to
live with him."
Marjory D. Kern, the author,
has joined the army of writers
who have set out to show men
and wom.n how to be happily
married, and a good job she has
made of it, too.
"Many women are like sheet
of water rejecting whatever
image their husbands project"
says Miss Kern. That statement
sets me to wondering whether it
is one hundred per cent true or
not. Modern wives, especially
self-supporting ones, do their
own thinking, and very often
disagree with their husbands.
Practically all the books, es-
SAYS and lectures on matrimony
and how to endure it OF succeed
in it seem to be addressed to
the women. Why is this? Do
men just naturally play the
husbands role successfully? Is
the woman the only member of
the team who needs coaching
or encouragement?
Because men support their
wives, theoretically at least,
wives feel obliged to please
their husbands. Agreed? But
wives who are free of financial
obligation toward their hus-
bands do pretty much as they
please. But the well-trained
wife who is dependent on her
husband for support jolly well
knows on which side her bread
is buttered and acts according
ly.
Whether or not a wife is fl
nancially independent of her
husband, she cannot hope ito
get along with him if she keeps
reminding him of this fact. Wo-
men clever enough to make their
own way in the world are often
stupid enough to forget this
very important point.
