willing to use other parts OF the
house occasionally. However, you
can repay their kindness by not inn
posing on it. Don't Danish them
to the kitchen or upstairs more often
than absolutely necessary.
We know another girl who was
able to solve this problem by get
ting her father and older brother
to turn part of the basement into q
recreation room. They finished 1t
off with plyWood paneling and since
they did the work themselves it was
not particularly expensive. The girl
then dressed up the room with at
tractive curtains and draperies, pic
lures and knickknacks. The porch
chairs and glider were used as fur
niture and the family eventually
equipped it with pingpong table.
This room provides almost a Sec
ond living room, and has solved the
dating problem nicely. The older
brother and sister pooled their re-
sources to buy an inexpensive record
player, SO there is music for dancing.
And a chest in one corner of the
room not only serves as seat. but
contains cards, Chinese checkers,
anagrams and other games.
If your house has unused space in
the cellar or attic, you may be able
to work out some similar plan.
You'll find it's as much fun to fix
up the room as it is to use it. You
may even get some of your dates to
take off their coats and pound a
few nails, or display their prowesS
at putting up curtain rods.
What is your particular problem?

Dear Miss Dix: am girl of 18.
but mentally I am years older. I
am miserable because of my mother
Through the years she has instilled
in me the belief that I have no
talents and that I cannot possibly
succeed. But, more than that, she
has poisoned my mind about all
men. She made a mess of her own
marriage because she never be-
lieved in my father or trusted him,
and she has made me believe that
all men are rotters.
I don't want to believe this, but
years of this kind of thing have put
my mind in a rut. I am in love
with boy, but, although my
mother knows nothing about him,
she calls him all the lowest things
in creation. I know what she says
is not true, but it keeps me un-
settled.
I have been advised to go into
service as stepping stone for COM
mercial work, for which am quail
fed. Would that be the right thing
for me to do? Or shall stay home
and have my mind poisoned against
every one and so lose my chance Of
ever marrying and having happy
life? DESPONDENT.
Answer-The thing for you to do
is to leave your mother and strike
out for yourself. That will make
for the happiness of you both, for
probably you get just as much on
her nerves as she gets on yours, and
both of you will be relieved to have
the friction ended.
In tradition and story the rela-
tionship between mother and daugh-
ter is made the most beautiful and
tender and sacred one on earth.
Mother and daughter are depicted
as always adoring each other and
as having perfect sympathy and
understanding and living together
in peace and harmony. But this al
Turing picture of mother and -daugh-
ter love frequently doesn't jibe with
the facts. In real life mothers and
daughters are often diametrically
opposite in temper and taste, and,
as the common phrase goes, rub
each other the wrong way.
Every one OF us can recall cases
of antagonistic mothers and daugh-
ters who made each other perfectly
miserable and who seemed to &C
tually hate each other while the
daughters lived at home, but who

We moderns are rediscovering a
fact that our wise grandmothers
knew very well when they were
young-that nothing makes you look
more winsome and lady-like than
touch of lace at your neckline and
sleeves. Just try it, with this de-
sign. See if people don't exclaim
How pretty you look!" whenever
you have on this delightfully."- simple
and charming dress.
It's very nice to your figure, too,
with a slim skirt, small waistline
and softly rounded bustline. Best of
all, it's so easy to make that even
beginners can do it successfully.
Just q few darts at the waistline and
gathers on the shoulders-that's
about all! Make it of old-fashioned,
new-fashioned faille, velvet or fiat
crepe.

Teasingby
Adult Is
Cruel
Form of Bullying
Shows Lack of
Consideration
By ANGELO PATRI.

There are few laws one can set
down for the rearing of children.
We have to adopt the rules to the
occasion most of the time. But
there are few that hold good for
all occasions, and the one that says
teasing children is wrong, cruel, un-
just and harmful, is among the first.
No child is to be teased by anybody,
anytime.
Most of the teasing is done by
grownup people who ought to have
better sense. A gay young auntie
says to her 2-year-old niece, Look.
I'm going to take your dollie along
with me. You don't want 1t. Say
good-by dollie"
The child reaches for her dolly
and cries, mo, no, I want my dear
dollie. Give me my dear dollie."
What will you give me if I don t
take her? Will you give me a big
kiss? All right, then I won't take
her this time"
That is stupid. All cruelty is
stupid. but this sort is peculiarly
so. It is completely unnecessary to
frighten child in order to win a
show Of affection. Children learn
to hate those who tease them and
such a kiss as this is an insincere
one. Much good may it do the one
who demanded it.
Big brother leases little brother
by dangling his pet toy just out OF
reach. Take it, why don't you?
Take it," and as the child jumps
for the toy it is pulled out of reach.
Big brother laughs and little brother
cries. Uncle tosses his small nephew
up to his shoulder and says, I'm
going to take you home and keep
you. o, yes I am. Here we co.
The child screams for his mother
and uncle laughs.
The adolescent children come in
for a great deal of teasing. Sister
is teased about her new hair do, her
rouge and Gpstick, her friends, with
strong emphasis upon her boy
friends. She is supposed to like it,
or leave it. When she shows temper
or cries, she is told that she is a
poor sport and can't take it. What
kind Of person is the one who gets
fun out of the embarrassment of q
sensitive young girl?
The boy is teased about his
awkwardness, his cracking voice,
his new longies, his girl, his appe-
tlte, his efforts at being manly. Just
what good it does the teaser is be-
yond me. If he thought to add to
his own prestige by showing up the
childishness, the weaknesses of the
children he failed to- do so. His
self-respect must be at low ebb
to require the embarrassment OF
children to bolster it up.
Life provides enough Illustration,
enough disappointment and humili-
alton for children to bear without
any addition from grownup people.
Life affords plenty of opportunity
for courgae and self-control in its
everyday treatment of children. We
need never 60 out of our way to
supply any. We might far better
devote what little talent we have to
the understanding of the children's
problems and whatever strength of
soul we have to their support.
Teasing children is a form Of
bullying that nobody with a whit
of consideration for them would
countenance. It simply is not dcne.

You can't go wrong with this plan.
The young man will appreciate his
favorite candy, made with your fair
hands, more than some ; gift you
might buy. Yet it demands no cor
responding gift from him, since he
can't logically be expected to whip
up a pan of gorgeous seafoam for
you!
If it turns out that he does buy
you gift this Christmas, your
candy is adequate recompense. If
he doesn't, you will have been saved
the embarrassment of giving him a
gift when he had no corresponding
present for you.
Dear Columnists:
II have delighted in reading your
articles, and as you have so excel
lently solved many problems, I take
this opportunity to ask you to ad-
wise me on one of mine.
"If one is invited to a debutante
party and is unable to accept, would
it be poor etiquette to send the girl
a corsage, taking for granted that
one knows the girl quite we'll? What
is the correct thing to do?
&C. v. T."
1t would be perfectly correct for
you to send the girl either cor
sage or bouquet of flowers. Debu-
tante parties can never have too
many flowers, and we know your
action would be appreciated.
If you are in any doubt as to a
suitable kind of flowers to send, talk
the matter over with your florist.
He'll be glad to advise you.

advice will be appreciated.

Yours is very common problem
in small homes with rather large
families. Many girls have solved it
through frank talk with their par
ents, asking for the privilege of
having the living room for their
exclusive use one night week.

girl naturally wants to entertain

lily as an audience, and they are

CAROLINE FARM BUREAU
DEPLORES RELIEF EFFECT

The Ridgely Discussion Group, a
subdivision of the Caroline County
Farm Bureau, comprising farmers of
the Denton, Tuckahoe Neck and Ridge
ly districts, went on record last week
as opposing the practice of giving help
to able bodied men and women who
drive their own cars, dress well and
refuse to work once they get on the
relief rolls.
The farmers exchanged experiences
in trying to get farm workers whom
they once depended upon for spring
jobs. Several of them said that these
men and women refuse to go back
after they land on the relief rolls.
Several of the farmers reported
having seen persons they knew to be
getting relief, walking or driving a.
