Smothering Child With Love
And Affection Disastrous
Wide World Photo.
ctiOn Disastrous

sense to see this. why they can't re-
member how they, too, craved a
little liberty Is one of the strangest
things on earth. But they don't.
The more they love their children,
the more they deny these children
this precious boon that they long
for more than for anything else on
earth.
We would think mother an in
human monster who would take q
fine, normal child and bind it so
that she stunted its growth, as the
Chinese used to do the women S
feet, and made it poor, helpless,
undeveloped creature who would
never be able to take an active part
in life But that is what she does,
mentally and morally, to the chill
dren on whom she forces perpetual
babyhood, and who are never al
lowed to grow up.
How can a child who has never
been permitted to have any inde-
pendence learn to stand alone?
How can it develop any judgment
if somebody has always decided
things for it? How can it gain the
knowledge and strength to fight the
world if it has been kept in a pad
ded room on a silk cushion?
1t is better for child to have
no love at all than to have too much
ill-advised love.

Dear Dorothy Dix: I am IA years
old and an only child. All my life
I have been babied by my grand
parents and my parents and an
aunt. My mother always comes in
to kiss me good night and listens to
me say my prayers before / go to
bed. I have never opened a door
for myself in my life, for when I
go anywhere my aunt or my mother
is waiting for me to come back and
to open it for me, and ask me if
got cold, and help me of with my
things.
When I go out anywhere in the
evening I have to be homo at 9
o'clock, and my mother and father
come for me, so l can't 60 home
with a bunch of kids. as the others
do I can't 60 skating. or take part
in any games for fear I will overdo.
Nor can I 60 to the football, bas-
ket ball or baseball games for fear
I will get hurt in such a rough
crowd.
My mother picks out all of my
clothes. She reads all notes, let
ters and diary and decides which
boys and girls I shall have for
friends. I am so fed up with all of
this that think III die. What can
do to let mother know 1 am grow
ing up? She still regards me as her
little baby and treats me as if I
were one. D. j. L.
AnsWer-Poor little youngster!
But you are one of the answers to
the question of why girls leave
home. 1t is to get away from mother
and grandmother and aunts who
smother them with affection. 1t is
to break out of prison and get
little liberty that is one of the
strongest desires of every normal
human being, to have some life of
their own. some freedom of thought
and action.
And why mothers haven't enough

improper for bride, who is wearing
white and a veil, to use red nail

Answer: l think she might use
the nail polish that she always

Dear Mrs. Post: I left purse
bag in public bus. and have just
recovered it intact from the lost
and found department OF the bus
company. I asked for the driver S
name, and they declined to give it
to me. They gave me instead,
the name of the woman passenger
who had turned the bag over TO
the driver. Since there was quite
good deal in this bag. Of no
monetary value, but of Importance
to me. in addition to SIS in
cash. 1 would like to thank the
driver. Unfortunately, 1 can't do
this, I can thank the passenger,
but I wonder if I should send her
a sum of money. Do you think
that sending her a few flowers
would be a good idea?
Answer: Send her note of
thanks certainly. Flowers, however,
seem to be unsuitable to send to a
total stranger, since they will in
turn exact a letter of thanks from
her. To send her $3.50 10 per
cent of the s15) would be conven-
tional and therefore proper. To
make 1t more than this suggests
a gratuity. which would be proper
