knew best, without actually forcing
me to 60 against my wishes.
Now that ols years have passed
I am more cogniZant every day of
the horrible mistake made and
how much I have missed. Nothing
will ever replace the empty part Of
my life that college could have filled
so completely for me.
realize that your daughter is
not at the age to think too seriously
of the boys. But not many years
will pass before she will be. For
an example Of how definitely you
feel the loss Of completing your
education of3er this: met q very
wonderful man who had completed
his education and was q very bril-
liant engineer. After I had known
him a reasonable length Of time I
realized that I was desperately
madly-ih love with him. I sud-
denly had 4 dreadful fear thrown
at me. felt he deserved some girl
who could offer him much more
than could. I felt he needed
somebody who could be more of a
companion to him. Why did feel
terrific fear? Because I hadn't
taken advantage Of the wonderful
opportunity had in having an
education similar to his. I felt
inferior when we were with other
people who could talk about their
fraternities, sororities, and college
days in general. I have overcome
that inferior feeling to a certain
extent because that man is now my
husband and he Is considerate
enough about the inferiority 70 take
care OF the conversations that am
at a loss to join in, and bring them
to q close as soon as possible. Yes
he Is In Uncle Sans Army now and
I'm, terribly proud of him
This part of my letter will prob
ably not interest your daughter,
but I believe if she is as sensible
as your letter indicates that she
will be able to look into the future
for few years and see my point.
This is only one small example, of
course.
Do I blame my parents for my
limited education? Certainly not.
I've never blamed them and never
shall. I know that 1t was my own
foolish fancy that made me con-
tinue working and not take advan-
tage OF the opportunity I had.
My only advise would be that par
ents insist to the last inch on their
daughters, and sons, of course, con-
tinuine their educations. Not a day
ever passes that don't regret the
fact that my parents did not force
me to continue. am positive that
even If your daughter thinks you
are being harsh in forcing her to 70
now, that she will be the most
grateful girl in the world as the
years 60 by. She will never be able
to show her gratitude.
Please, girl graduate, accept this
advice in the same spirit it is Of
fered, because 1t is from a girl who
knows exactly how you feel now and
also a girl who knows how you will
feel 512 years from now.
STOCKINGS FOR RUG.
Thanks to Mrs. E. F. G.,
Wdshington.)
I started to save old stockings to
crochet a rug but soon found that
had too many on my hands. MY
friends were too kind to me, I
would gladly share some with any
one. The rug Is very simple to
make. Cut the stocking in one strip
starting at the top, going around
the leg until you get to the toe,
Sew pieces together, then crochet
plain stitch. have plenty to give
away. They are too good to thu ow
away.
