DEAR MARY HAWORTH: We read a great deal nowadays about the trials and heartaches of ser- vicemen's wives, but what about their mothers2 I am one such mother, carrying a broken heart thanks to a serviceman's wife.
 I waited five long years for my boys return, and during those years lay awake nights, weeping and praying that he would come safely through the war. He did sur- vive and he did return to his home land-only to meet and become in- fatuated with a girl also in the service whose husband is overseas.
 As result, my boy was released from the service and I never even knew 1t. He didn't come home to me. He took room where he would be near this woman, and now I hear from him just occasionally by telephone. This turn of events is so painful and bewildering that I am afraid of a nervous break down unless someone can show me the light.
 I am not selfish, but surely you can understand my feelings and appreciate my position, after wait ing long years for my boy to come. Please give me quick response and some good advice. KB.
 Faint Hearts Are Weddings
 DEAR K. B.: The person who faints in the time of diversity has little strength, the Bible tells us And supposing you give way to a nervous breakdown in consequence of your sons misguided behavior as described, wouldn't you be showing weakness of another sort? And thereby indicating, perhaps, that inflrmity of character is a family trait?
 Also, there is a cryptic passage in Proverbs, 1874: '"The spirit of a man will sustain his inflrmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear2" Your wounded spirit in this instance, which doubtless you have brokenly proclaimed to your son each time he calls, is prooably a great deal more than he could en- dure at close range, when he has his own infirnities to bear-and that may explain why he keeps out of range of your hungry arms.
 It is erroneous to blame the sol- dier's unfaithful wife for your sons folly and unfilial attitude since 1t is folk knowledge that all temptations and evil impulses which lead from the strait and narrow path take their rise in the

 ITHERE were three of them in the A back seat, wearing Identical striped silk coats. But that wasn't ell. They wore hoods and masks ovef their faces, and the masks were fit- ted with insinglass. The White drew up behind the Packard. It was the first time three automobiles had ever been lined up together in our village. We were 80 impressed that for an instant no one spoke. Then my father said, Good day." as hefltted the occa- sion, and himself stepped forward to assist the ladies.
 Julia and I together led them to the parlor. We went slowly, for they stumbled about good deal on the stairs, not being able to see well inc doors. Once there, we hung around, waiting to discover what was be- hind those ghoulish masks It was quite a surprise to see three normal faces. The lady who had come in the Maxwell was lying down on the settee, resting from her jour- ney. Driving was exhilarating, but 1t was hard on the back, they all agreed.
 When the dinner bell rang, they hurried downstairs to join the men. Then they all crowded into the din- ing room.
 At { Sue came down to the kitchen to tell us what was going on. One guest, she said, was dozing on the settee in the parlor. Some of the others were rocking on the piazza, not saying much. My father had taken the driver of the Packard up to his office for treatment. The party in the White were just about leav- ing. They had taken bag of dough- nuts to eat on the way. They would come back next Sunday, they had promised.
 When everyone had gone, Julia and I went into the office where my mother was counting the money she had taken in. Her cheeks were flush ed, and her eyes were beaming.
 We're practically home," she said.

disordered sels--as witness tine say- ing ITO the pure in heart. ali things are pure"
 Thus your sons misbehayiour in relation to her is primarily an Rd. vertisment of his own inner dark. ness at this time, and the fact that they are attracted together simply means that they are two of kind --or temporarily lost together lr the same boat speaking from the viewpoint of moral perspective. And in making her the butt of bslr- ming resentment and angry coil- demnation, silently rehearsed day and night, you only harm your- self since these two malignant emotions, with self-pity a third, actually sicken the body as well as the mind and soul of him who feels and imaginatively feeds them.
 True Prayer Afflrms Good Perhaps you wonder why your weeping, grooming prayers on your sons behalf these last i've years weren't better answered. The ex- planation is given, I think, in the following verse, author unknown:
 "The prayer that reaches heay-
 ems ear
 Is not the prayer of doubt and
 fear,
 Nor one of learned word or
 phrase
 Advising God to change his ways
 It is knowing firm and true,
 That God will bring the good to
 view.
 Thus may true prayer be un-
 derstood:
 Not asking, but accepting good"
 Now, to give you light: Accord ing to the apostle John, God is love" According to Paul, Love is the fulfilling of the law" And Pe- ter said, Above all things have fervent love among yourselves" In the last century, Scottish lectur- CT, Henry Drummond, wrote a trea- tise on divine love entitled, The Greatest Thing Tn The World" Copies are available today, I be- lieve, through Harper & Brothers, publishers, New Yorw City. Study this treatise and learn-if you will how to regain equilibrium through the rightful practice Of mother love.

WILL SOMEONE GET THOSE
 TONsILS?

WAAaA SVNAHVkNH WMA AAAV6n
 TONsTLS?
 Parents took their eight-year-old boy to a physician for examination. The boy had what they thought was pink eye"-that is Q common name for acute epidemic conjunctivities (contagious inflammation of lining of eyellds and covering of eyeballs). :. The physician found the boy had inflammation of the color ring around the black central pupils, the iris-the medical term for this is iritls, and to the layman 1t sounds like eye-ritis. The physician exc plained that the cause of the iritis was infection brought to the irises through the blood stream.
 There, so far as the letter tells, the question was left suspended. However, the physician did 30 one half-step further before shooing the patient and his parents away, He examined the boys throat and then played 1t safely saying Some one is going to get those tonsils one of these days" Now the parents are coming to me, they tell me, for my well known etc. etc.
 No, no, we can't do that. Even if I examined the boys throat and poked and probed into his tonsils with all the compunction my opinion would still be just a guess.
 You ask me whether the boys tonsils should be removed now or after the eye trouble has cleared up, and if so, by which method.
 I tell you I'm guessing-and I'd be just guessing about this if l had the boy under my professional care. As nearly as I can learn 1t is always just @ guess whether (a) the septic focus" as 1t is improperly called, from whence the infection (bacteria, germs) causing the iritis or other trouble comes; and (b) whether the patient will be helped or harmed by the major operation (tonsillectomy) now; or whether the comparatively minor clipping (ton- Sillotomy) would be the preferable method; or (d) whether tonsil diathermy (ele ctro coagulation) would not be the ideal solution of the problem from every point of view.
 Whichever course should be fol- lowed, cite the instance as a cau- ton to parents to beware of physi- clans who mutter in their boards, and a hint to physicians to keep their traps closed when they have nothing to say.
