Capital Careers

Worden way-has made it her bust
ness to have the time, and very
profitable business it Is, too. Her
story began on farm, of all things,
in that vast Western State. 1t seems
there are lots of farms in that ira
ditionally ranch-filled land.
She can ride a horse, though. Had
one of her own until she moved East
and her father sold it. And she once
worked out in Yellowstone Park in
one of those bracelet-blanket Indian
shops. That was between sessions
at the University of Montana.
After the university, she went into
social service work. That she found
as depressing as work can be. When
the war and the WACS came along,
she entered the one through the
other, wound up here in Washington.
Wars end, she went to work for the
Veterans Administration, which a
lot of nasty souls have also called
depressing work.
Anyway, she was married in March
to Alvin @. Ehrlich, local advertising
man, and that's how her Capital
career was born. Because no girl of
Mildred's vitality could stay at home
just darning socks. And, anyway,
Mr.. E. would have a fit if she did.
He throws his worn ones away.
(Which gives you an idea of how
the advertising business Is doingD
So she started the service.
Now it takes a pretty good knowl-
edge OF merchandise and stores to
carry on a business like that. And
those thumb downers who are al
ways saying Washington never has
anything will be surprised to hear
that Mrs. e. thinks we compare most
favorably with even New York City.
OF course, we may not have the
sheet music from kiss Me Kat"
(Which hasn't even opened on
Broadway yetD, but in most things
we hold our own.
A farmers work runs from sunup
to shutdown. Mildred's hours COIN
eide with the local department
stores. Once they are closed, she
becomes q typical housewife-loves
to cook and clips and pastes up and
tries new recipes like mad. She Is
musical-used to sing in the church
choir and such-but, pianoless at
present, satisfies herself With eve
nings of home concerts OF those
lovely new long-playing records.
And in her spare CD time, she
models at local fashion shows.

Silent Teen-Agers

sters. Nature Is showing them out
into the world, where they are 70
hold their own with the people
about them and against LIES forces.
At this time some children hide
their feelings-and their thoughts
from their elders. They seem to
retreat from them.
It seems to me that one reason
for this Is that the children are
beset by feelings for which they
have no name, no clear thought
therefore, no expression. They have
to get through this stage Of uneasy
growth and come out into the clear
before they can have much to say. :.
Their companions are in about
the same condition and they can
talk to each other without fear Of
being laughed at, talked down or
angrily ordered to "be your age"
They get together in some corner
where they can confide In each
other or just talk-talk without,
much being said either way. It IS
companionship with some one who
wants what they are seeking. While
this age lasts there is little use, and
no profit, in insisting that they tell
what they are thinking about.
When they say nothing" they come
close to telling the truth.
Frying into their affairs only
drives them to greater secrecy. One
mother was anxious to know what
her teen-age daughter was writing
in the notes she wrote every evening
after study time. She watched and
traced the child's actions until she
found that she put notes in o
certain niche in q stone wall. She
took out the note and read: Dear
Molly, I'll wait at the big oak in
the morning. Don't be late. It's
getting cold to stand long. I'm
putting an apple in for you for
lunch. Be sure you bring two
cookies cause I won't have room.
Did you get the third example
right? Wasn't it hard? Love-
Kitty" d..
Mother felt SO ashamed when she
read that childish note that she
tiptoed back to the house, cried q
little and made up her mind to let
Kitty alone, land take her down.
town to buy something nice that she
liked. The dear child"
Just love them and let them alone

DESTRUCTIVE KITTY.

From Mrs. J. E. j., Siluer Spring.
For the ladies who have trouble
about cats scratching up furniture
If they will get a stick of regular
fire wood with the bark on it, and
lean it against the wall in some Sc
cure place and take the kitten to it
put its feet on it and make the
motions of scratching several times
I'm sure she will have no trouble
with furniture scratching again
Keep the stick in the same place
and not too out of sight, easy OF
access.

it is Agapanthus Mooreanus, a va

hardy. I have had a clump outside
