Beset at home Uith the usual
difficulties of entertaining
friends, along her and their pref
erences, In competition tUith
family ideas, Freda of Pittsburgh
tUrites Miss Norris for her opin-
ion. The young t1oman COM
plains that she and her friends
are crouUded into a small space,
only through sacrifice on the part
of the family and smothered
rUith intended kind acts by moth
CT, brother and sisters. Unfor-
tunateIy the little tributes made
by her folks differ from tUlrat
she and her crorUd like. Then
the family asks her to auoid GER
tain guests and inuite Others she
does not particularly care about.
FredG tUonders IN her letter, If
she should not take an apart
neut s0ith another girl or tl0o
and lead her life as she pIeases.
Her anSrUer from Miss Norris
strikes into the heart of one
problem that is helping to de-
stroy the American home.

divorced. Margaret says not to put
coats all over her bed this time.
Anne says she thinks it's vulgar to
ask a man whose wife I don't know.
(She lives In another city; he is just
a visitor here.) Dolly comes out of
the kitchen to say she will make a
cake. I explain that all my friends
are dieting, but she goes ahead just
the same, and the day of the party
she can't do anything else but slop
around with frosting for the cake.
"What the crowd wants is a place
to bring cheese and crackers and
drink milk and pop. There's nothing
wild about us. We are as decent as
any group In town, loving writing
games and dancing, and with neither
money nor inclination for night
clubs. But the way my family acts
makes me want to join UP with some
other girl and take a little place of
our own. What do you think? And
should I make it different city, to
save the family face2 could be
transferred to Philadelphia, but of
course I would miss my friends
here, and have to start from scratch.
Do you think it Is utterly nreason-
able for me to long to get away"
The answer is that for every good
thing we have in life we have to pay
something. Young wives and hus-
bands pay IN that loss of independ-
ence, that disciplining of character,
that changed attitude toward old
friends which is marriage. Mothers
pay, every hour of their lives, for
the privilege of bringing sons and
daughters into the world. Single
women pay, In odd moments of
sharp heartache, for their freedom
from family ties. We must choose
what is worthwhile to us, and pay
for it, as long as we live.
A Royal Advantage.
It is a royal advantage to live IN
a family A snippy older sister, an
other older sister complacent In a
happy engagement, a troublesome
noisy brother, busy hard-working
father, mother who cares enough
to fuss with candles and popovers-
these are pure gold, when it comes
to estimating human values.
Hour for hour, living at home far
outweighs In advantage any other
sort of living for girls. For the
important secret is that there is no
independence IN this life for any of
us, until we learn to make the
claims of those we love the doorway
to unselfishness and service. Then
all our values miraculously turn
topsy-turvy, and we discover that
only whose loseth his life shall gain it.
You do pay, of course, for the
right to belong to this group. But
If you break away; you must face
financial responsibility, you must
train your nature to adapt itself to
that of some other girl. It means
worry about gas bills and grocery
orders; it means watching your JOY
Gus crowd drinking up your bottles
of root beer and wasting your bread
and butter; It means cleaning the
fat; it means starting the day at the
Office tired, on orange juice and
slightly turned milk, rather than
with one of Mama's good break
fasts inside you.

gal son has quoted down
L in recent years; mothers
don't worry about their sons
as once they did.
Or perhaps it's just that they
are worrying more about daugh-
tiers, and haven't the time they
once had for anxiety about the
boys.
For girls certainly are doing
odd things these days.
Hundreds of them, when they
get to the early twenties, want to
live away from home. They are
in no hurry to marry; they are
not in the least concerned as to
their chances of marrying; but
they don't want to live at home.
One young girl I knew left
mother, father, younger sister and
two younger brothers, rented an
apartment a few blocks away, and
for the three years that preceded
her marriage maintained a separate
establishment. often running In to
see her people, making no apologies
to society, and eventually settling
down into orthodox wifehood and
motherhood But most girls go away
to another city, launching into IN
terror decoration, photography, of
fee jobs, preferring hard work, re-
sponsibility, the care of an apart
ment to the much easier life at
home.

Charles Laughton (have you heard

Mothers Are Bewildered.


It has been hard enough for moth
ers to lose their sons In this fashion,
but it is utterly bewildering to them
to lose their girls, too. It Is one
more of the many elements that to-
day are destroying the American
home, and women feel it, and would
do something to stop it if they could.
But the current is too strong. The
girl knows she can be self-support-
ing, and the thought of the independ-
ence of her own establishment, her
right to come and go unchallenged,
to make what friends she pleases,
intoxicateS her.
A girl named Freda Sanderson
puts the situation very well, and I
will quote verbatim from her letter.
Freda lives IN Pittsburgh; she has
two older sisters, q and IS, and a
younger brother, 49, Her father is
teller in a bank: her mother, with
the help of a colored girl, keeps
house for the family.
Anne is my oldest sister,
school teacher who never has had
a beau and looks down scornfully on
anyone who has," writes Freda.
''She is brilliant, admired and sue
cessful, but her whole interest is
education and poetry. Margaret
comes next, engaged for two years
and to be married IN two more. She
and Dick murmur together IN the
sitting-room three nights week.
Rod is In college, but lives at home;
he and a friend usually are studying
in his room until ten or so, then
they race downtown for sodas and
movies.

Thus, instead of being a real in
