Pampering Daughter Best w
To Spoil Her for Marriage

Every woman is an enigma. but
when you consider a woman who is
also the mother of girls, you have
the worlds prize conundrum that nc
one can guess. For by no plausible
theory can any one explain why
mothers rear their daughters as they
do; why they deliberately unfit them
for the lives they are predestined tc
live; and more particularly why
since every mother wants her daugh-
tiers to marry. she does not teach
them the first elements of being good
wives.
Every woman of average intelli-
gence, who has had IS or 40 years
experience and observation of life
and who has been through the cru
cial adjustments of marriage herself
knows just about what every CIR
has to expect of life and of marriage
She knows that life is never easy
for women and that for them to sue
coed in any career. whether domestic
or professional, takes courage and
stamina and self-control and in
dustry. But does she try to breed
these qualities in her daughters?
Not at all. She stultifies herself and
brings failure and misery on her
girl by believing that somehow her
Mamie is going to escape the COM
mon fate and everything is just
going to be fine for her.
If you don't believe this assertion
consider the way you are bringing
up your girls. Consider the way your
friends are bringing up theirs. How

In the summer of 1914 dachs-

popular breeds in the United States
BY the end of the holocaust which
followed there was scarcely an

A few had been hidden in closets,
etc, but the majority simply van

This was because dachshunds
were stoned in the streets when
they took their daily walk Kennels

mented and abused at every oppor-
tunity. People owning dachshunds
frequently had them put to sleep"
rather than submit to public torture.
All because the canine bore a name.
That brought unpleasant thoughts

Finally, people wise in the ways
of public hysteria changed that
name to badger dog which was
the translation, with a few liberties
Of dachshund. Folk were less cruel
after that, but the damage had been
done. A scarce dozen badger

out any real dust deposits with

your rugs-watch the stair carpets
and spray insecticide under them
after giving them thorough
vacuuming. Vacuuming, by the way,
is one of the best protections-it
actually draws the eggs into the
machine and does away with them
altogether. If possible, burns the

DancingWith

Permission of
Her Escort
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: The other
night went to dance with Rob-
ert, my special boy friend. We
danced the first dance together.
Then another boy asked me to dance
and danced with him. That made
Robert furious. He is very jealous.
anyhow, and he sulked the rest of
the evening. He said had no busi-
ness dancing with another boy un-
less asked his permission. I told
him that had never heard of such
thing and that even if boy does
call for girl, they are both sup
posed to dance with other people.
The dance was a regular dance at
the club we all belong to. was
right, wasn't I, Mrs. Post?
Answer: At any private or club
dance you would of course be ex-
pected to dance with every one who
asks you, and under no circum-
stances would you ask any ones
permission. On the other hand, if
you had gone with Robert to a
restaurant where people dance, and
John Jones, let's say, had come to
your table and asked you to dance,
1t would have been inconsiderate to
leave your host sitting alone at the
table. asking his permission would
not have made any difference)
However, if Robert had himself in.
vited John to sit at your table, then
the latter would naturally have been
expected to dance, not too often. or
for too long, but from time to time.
Dear Mrs. Post: I am from a small
town and am going to give lecture
at meeting of business women in
New York very soon. I am to speak
in the evening, so will YOU tell me
what you think is the most appro-
pirate type of dress for me- to wear?
Answer-A very simple daytime
dress with long skirt is always
suitable. Whether you wear a small
evening type of hat or more depends
upon whether you like to wear hat
(as I do or whether you like to go
without one (as many do). At a
business Women's meeting, 80 per
. cent of your audience will probably
be in street clothes. and lecturer In
real evening dress is likely to feel
conspicuous even if she does not
look out of place.

"Derry, dear, you should never talk

old grandpa. You don't want to hurt
your poor old grandpa, do you,
Derry?"
Nope" said Derry, shaking his
curly head emphatically, but he
didn't seem so old as that when I
was talking to him. He seemed very
smart, mother. He said to me, You
stop that, young sir, or III spank
you so I just answered back, Try
and do it,"
"M-m-mpf," said mother. "Well,
run along now, and remember, al
ways speak nicely to grandpa. He
is older than you are, you know. 1t
isn't nice to talk to grandpas as if
they were little boys like yourself,
you know"
No, of course, it isn't. And it isn't
nice for grandpa to call small per-
son young sir, and threaten spank
ings, either. But that is the way it
is and, I imagine, always will be be-
tween the very young and the very
old, and they manage to get along
fairly we'll, at that.
What struck me about the affair
was mothers poor old grandpa"
Grandpas and grandmas do not like
to be called old. nor poor old, either
They don't feel themselves objects
of commiseration to their grandchil-
dren. Nor do they want consider
alton on those terms. They would
much rather be checked than pitied.
But why either?
Why cannot little children learn
to respect their grandparents as peo-
pie worthy of their affection and re-
spect? There is no reason. A child
will respond to, Want to walk with
grandfather? He says he will be
glad to have you. And he did say
he was thinking of going to look at
the new baby monkey down in tie
Zoo. Wouldn't it be kind of him if
he took you along?"
And if grandpa, or grandma
talked to the grandchildren as
though they were people worthy of
their regard instead of the infants
they seem to be, that would at once
set the children's attitude. The chill
dren dislike being made to feel little,
and young, and to be bossed Just as
much as the elderly folk dislike being
called old and made to feel helpless.
If each is allowed to be person in
his own right, both will be happier.
1t is not necessary to talk down to
the children, nor is 1t necessary to
behave to the older folk as though
there was something extraordinary
the matter with them. Age is not
an illness, nor even a hindrance in
most of us. It just is.
Preaching respect for elders to lit
tie children is about the most USE
less form of instruction one can
imagine. Children respect old and
young alike, and on the same
grounds-mutual regard. If there is
no sympathy between people, re-
gardless of their ages, there is no
respect. Formal courtesy is not re-
spect. It is only an imposed gesture.
Respect is the expression of volun-
tary appreciation Of another's per-
sonality.
Just allow that grandpa and
grandma are people in their own
right. Treat them that way and
there will be little trouble with the
children. They know people when
they see them and their judgment
of them is wonderfully accurate. And
don't hurt the Qrands bv calling
them poor and poor olds.
