that we do not know just what our
children think of us, but if we could
pry into their minds. we would find
lot of things that would astonish
and chagrin us.
The first amazing discovery would
be that not only our babies but
also our adolescent sons and daugh-
ters regard us as being so old as to
be almost prehistoric. Virtually
contemporary with the Neanderthai
man, so aged as to be completely
out of touch with modern life. hence
whose opinions are of no value and
not worth considering.
Only today I have a letter illus
trating this. 1t is from girl of Is
who complains bitterly because her
mother won't let her go joyriding at
night with wild boys. "Of course,
mother is senile,' she writes. She
is 35 and so old she doesn't know
what she is talking about, so don't
you think 1 am justified in refusing
to be bound by her old-fashioned
vieWs?"
Another thing that would surprise
us if we could see into our children's
minds is that they don't want us to
chum with them nor to put ourselves
on their level, and it offends and
disgusts them when we do. The
most bored children in the world are
those whose parents try to enter
tain them. Grownups and kids
don't talk the same language. They
don't play the same games. They
don't giggle over the same things.
Every child is martyred who has a
conscientious father or mother who
feels that it is his or her duty to be
little Sally's or Bobby's best friend.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
have several pieces of good mod
ern furniture and as I am moving
into larger apartment I will need
several other pieces. in the way OF
small tables and a chest. AS I have
an unusual color scheme I would
like to buy unpainted furniture if
possible Is it possible to purchase
well-made modern unpainted furni-
ture? MRS. D. F.. G.
One Of the Washington shops that
specialiles in modern things has a
new line of unpainted furniture
which l think will please you. There
is new group just issued which
was designed by a very clever young
architect with all the tables. chests
and bookcases the same height. BY
selecting several pieces they may all
be combined with their tops equal
in height, which makes a very good
looking room. A tier of shelves,
with a cupboard next and then
| desk combines most attractively
with great saving in space. These
may not be shown yet in Washing
ton-but it would do no harm to
suggest the thought to the local
shops. Possibly they are showing
them-or have ordered them at this
time.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have a wide couch in my living
room which is almost a three
quarter bed. 1t is used for bed
at night. I have made tailored
slip cover for it, but it seems to me
it is too wide for the usual sofa
pillows. What could I use that
would make it less wide to sit on
during the day? And should the
cushions be covered like the slip
cover or with other materials and
colors? A. L. c.
Answer
Suggest you have an upholsterer
make you a bolster-like cushion for
the back of the couch Make it 8
inches thick and then pile your other
sofa cushions against this. I would
cover the bolster like the slip cover
but there is no reason why you
should not use both color and tex
ture interest in the smaller cushions
as long as it fits in with your color
scheme.

Walter Winchell descended to the

Walter so bitterly dislikes!

purchased the same kind. Gee, that

insulted if we attended some party
