wanted old age, but 80 times out
Of 100 when old people find them
selves in that cruel position it Is
their own fault. Instead of trying
to make themselves attractive to
their fellow creatures they some
how seem to feel that age gives
them the right to be as disagree
able as they please and to dispense
with all the amenities of life.
Because it is easier and more COM
Portable to go slouchy they won't
make the effort to be we'll groomed
and we'll dressed. Because they en-
JOY the sound of their own voices
they become garrulous and tell the
same tales a hundred times and
never give any one else a chance
to say word.
Because they get lazy and self
indulgent they do not mind their
manners even at the table. And
because they know they can get
away with it on account of their
age they become merciless tyrants
in their families and snap and snarl
at every one like vicious dog.
And then they wonder that no.
body loves them, nobody wants
them. And that is the kind of old
people we all will be If we don't

cases which have come under my
nerSonal observation. Two old women
and an elderly man have lost good
homes, which they sadly needed,
because they made themselves so
unpleasant that not even the gen.
erous hosts who had taken them in
out of the cold could endure them
any longer.
One of the old women is an un-
reconstructed Victorian who be-
Heves that every one should dress
and act exactly as she did when
she was young. She forgets that
the privileges of guest do not in
clude criticizing the children of the
household and telling their mother
that Sally's dresses are too short,
and 1t is outrageous to let Mary
stav out until II o'clock at night at
a party, and that she doesn't know
what the world is coming to when
parents will let a boy of Is have the
use of the car on Friday nights.
The result of Aunt Marthas stric-
lures is, of course, that she and the
children are always in row, and
In the end it is suggested that she
would be happier somewhere else.
The other old woman is religious
fanatic who believes that she has
a sacred duty to save everybody
with whom she comes in contact by
converting them to her particular
faith. And after the people who
have invited her to make her home
with them because she had nowhere
to go, have stood being preached at
as long as human nature can endure
1t, she also has to move along.
And the old man is unwelcome
in his children's homes just because
he is so careless about his man
nerS and his appearance they are
ashamed of him. His hair always
needs cutting. He always needs
q bath. His clothes need cleaning.
And he eats like pig. He is a bad
influence on the children whose
table manners their mother Is try
ing to form, And he is no credit
to the family, no matter if he is
a noble Christian character.
Nothing else in the world is so
pathetic as lonely, unloved, un-

Seldom do you find an apron
pattern that gives such solid sat-
iSfaction as this one doesl And
as you know, if you do any home
work at all what a trial an i'll
fitting, slippy, slidy, difficult-to-
fasten apron can be! This one
first of all covers every part of your
dress that is likely to get smeared
and splashed-the skirt as we'll as
the top. 1t fits beautifully, being
slimmed in by a corselet waist
line, and gathered so that 1t won't
feel skinny over your dress.
The straps button to the waist
band, and ties with sash bows in the
back, and is certain to stay in
place on the shoulders. Repeat the
pattern time and again, not only for
your own comfort, but to tuck away
for occasional gifts and to take to
club and church sales. Choose per-
Gale. calico, seersucker or gingham.

powder and nail lacquer incased
in a smart little box that takes
up practically no room at all. The
package looks like a matchbox,
with the items securely slowed in
side.
There are four color combina-
tions to take care of all the shades
in your wardrobe. and the pack
age is so moderately priced that
it would be an excellent idea to
get all four and have them on hand.
Whether you're looking for easily
accessible makeup to put on your
dressing table, keep in the desk
drawer or take travelling. this looks
like the answer. The color range
includes a makeup for red. white
and blue. beige and brown, black
and pastels-so you'll always have
the right one at your fingertips.
If shower" gifts are as much
problem TO you as they are to us.
you'll let out a Subdued shrek of
Joy when you hear about the BRAIN
children of one famous cosmetic
firm. These little items will make
wonderful presents for a bride-to-
be, and they make sense as sug-
gestions for Easter offerings, too.
This firm is famous for its sachets,
and it does make the loveliest, dain-
tiest ones we've ever seen. This sea-
son it is concentrating on vio-
let aroma and has packaged some
of it's new sachets in checkerboard
satin with feathery spray of vio-
lets attached. Our favorite of the
new items, however, is a wonder
full lacquer that may be painted
under tables or inside of closet
doors and which gives off a wonder
full, lingering fragrance. If the
bride likes, she may have a floral
aroma for the bedroom and blend
for the living room in this easy-to-
apply lacquer

Dependence
On Mother
MayHarnn
apron Strings Can
Strangle Child's
Initiative
By Leffice Lee Street,

nv LeftCe Lee SrfPn
Those famous invisible apron
strings are sometimes clearly evident
in the strangling effect they can
have on both mothers and children
who are hampered by them.
The practice Of depending upon
mother for every large and small
physical comfort and necessity and
for amusement Is well, can be
started In babyhood. If it is not
stopped its roots will be deeply es-
tablished by the time the child is
going to school, and these roots will
sap away character-strength the
child needs for a full and self-suffi-
cient life
Some mothers who have a sin
cere, devoted wish for their chill
dren's happiness make the uncon-
scious error Of paying too much at
tention to their youngsters. OF
course, the children are quick to
sense this, and will take advantage
of it, becoming more and more de-
manding of their mothers as time
goes on.
This type of woman is generally
very domestic, living her life within
the walls of her house and making
her home a haven Of peace and COM
fort. Her heart may be so full of
love for her babies that she is blind
to their best good. She does not
realize the injury she can do to her
loved little ones, as well as to her
husband, family and herself. A
woman's duty emphatically never
lies with her children alone.
If she allows it to be so she will
lose her own attractiveness and in
dividuality. her children's respect
and affection, and probably her
husbands, too.
The most joyful and beneficial
atmosphere in which to raise a
child is the one felt in a well-bal-
anced family life. A home in which
| the children take their share, but
are not the center of considera ton; ;
where they see that often others
come first; where they watch their
father and mother being thoughtful
of and attentive to each other; will
teach them the attitude they must
practice when they 60 out into the
world as adults. Give and take,
share and share alike, and a consid-
Grafton for the needs and wishes of
others can best be taught by prac-
tice at home.
Parents are entitled to their own
adult lives, impossible to share with
children. 1t Is never too early to
let youngsters understand This.
A child should accept the fact
that there are times each day when
his mother has right to be by her
self or with friends.
Have you ever seen a istless,
sulky child hanging around bother
ing his mother with numerous ques-
tions such as What shall I do now,
mummie?" This child has probably
become entirely dependent upon his
mother for entertainment, so much
so that his imagination, self-sufi-
cheney and ability to play have been
smothered by too much mother
love and attention.
A child will play contentedly by
himself with one or two simple toys,
or with other children, if he Is given
the chance to learn how to enjoy
himself by being left alone.
