knack of making me feel million years old.
He took her arm and propelled her toward
the dining room where Abby, with an eye
toward two o'clock history class which
George would have gladly cut, had reserved
table. He seated his mother with old-worid
charm which made Abby wonder wistfuliy II
the years of screaming about table manners
had done some good, after all He smiled at
her and asked:
"And now what's your problem, Mrs.
Anthony"
Abby smiled back and thought it was rather
fun having lunch with her son. She decided
she would do it more often. Then she remem-
bered the business on hand Last night, Big
George had said to her: Damn it, don't
care how you handle it, but you have to 40
something. The boy is much too old for LIZ.
He's 50 sophisticated he makes me feel gonche.
And as for that maniacal Be-Bop music which
he puts on the phonograph and keeps going
- one day I'm going to march down the stairs
with butcher knife and cut off both his
hands at the wrist, so he can't operate rec
ord changer, especially mine, any more. -.
Abbys taste in music was far from being
as longhair as her husbands, but Be-Bop
thoroughly eluded her. At first, she had tried
to listen She had even tirnidly asked Liz to
Evening star., 1948-03-21

Getting up to greet her son, Abby decided
that her husbands profession, head of the
English department at Mid Western Univer-
sity, was still something his son would have
fibbed about, if he could. 1t was darned awk-
ward, he explained to his parents, to have his
father constantly flunking the football team,
or his fraternity brothers. 1t was still more
awkward to have to meet his own problem
profs in the home. Not that Little" George
- so-called to distinguish him from his father
big" George, now two inches shorter than
his son was at home often enough to be
much shamed. During the week, he lived at
his fraternity house. Over the week end, he
made token appearances at home, never when
you wanted him. In order to be sure of five
minutes confidential conversation with her
son, Abby had made formal mid-week date
for lunch at the leading downtown hotel.
GEORGE bent down and aimed kiss off
his mothers cheek. He is a duck, Abby
thought, in spite of his nonsense. He kisses me
in public, which is more than his sister would
ever do. And maybe it is because he is male
child, but he doesn't have LIS debating

exnlain why it was considered old-fashioned
for rn,sic to have tune or rhythm. Before
long. she had not only given UP listening,
she had prayed for some kind OF temporary
deafness which would enable her to 60 about
her tasks in the home without the eternal
tb,,nderous, whining nag of Be-Bop. After
all. she explained to her husband, her ear
might not be as sensitive to dissonance as
his. but she was home more.
Darling" said Abby, Its about your
friend Blk. And Liz.
GEORGE lifted an eyebrow. Last summer,
when his best friends were away, he had taken
up with Blk Taylor patent-leather-eyed
freshman who played the trumpet in his own
college band and drove large and insult
ably expensive convertible. Blk, unhampered
by modesty, had long ago nicknamed HIM
self after Blk Beiderbecke whom he regarded
as the father of trumpet playing. All summer,
the boys had gone to jam sessions in Bix's
convertible and hung around the living room
plavinq records. The Daileys' automatic rec
ord changer, an expensive cabinet type, had
been the whole family's Christmas present to
itself two years ago. The phonograph had
been bought at that distant time 50 that they
could listen to a whole symphony without
interruption. But it did belong to the whole
family, and Big George wanted the kids to
enioy it. 1t was just that, with Be-Bop there

A Short Story

TSoR lunch date with her college junior
II son, Abby Daley had chosen a black
suit, tailored and black hat. flibbertigibbet
with green feather. Waiting in the lobby of
the Court House Hotel, she stroked the tip
of the feather where it curved under her chin.
Then she stopped, remembering that she had
warned her fifteen-year- daughter, Liz,
that fussing with your clothes in public was
sure betrayal of nervousness.
She had just crossed one slim leg over the
other and deliberately relaxed her hands when
she saw George coming toward her. AS always
when she met one of her family in an url-
familiar setting. she felt little start of sur
prise. 1t seemed impossible that this rather
attractive six-foot boy with crew cut had
been the button-nosed baby that Abby had
produced, to her confusion, at twenty. The
baby that had, of all things, been allergic to
milk in his formula. The small boy who had
been 50 jittery about the dark that ne used to
90 into the bathroom at night singing: MY
father is fierce policeman. He'll shoot any
body who hurts me.

AUTOMATIC WASHER.

From Mrs. N. C. K, Bethesda.)
I happen to have an automatic
washer from company that has
repair and replacement centers all
over the United States. You may
laugh at this, but every other morn
ing when I load my washer with
nine pounds of clothing Il weigh it
on small kitchen scales) I bless
every person connected with auto
matte washers: The makers, sales
people apd repairmen, etc. There
are five females and one man in
my family. I have a maximum Of
40 hangers of ironed clothes in
winter, less in hot weather but more
shorts and summer clothes. If you
want the Life of Riley get an
automatic. I spent five hours in do
ing our laundry with a regular
washer. 1t took me one whole day
to get rested up. Now can do
so many other things while the
clothes are washing and, think Of
it, when you open the machine the
clothes are ready to hang up! I also
use the powdered soap sold by the
same company with perfect results.
I believe in miracles, for 9 miracle
happens every time do our laun-
dry.

are so many excellent articles IN 1t!

Boys and girls in their early teens
need the privilege of expressing their
opinions, gratifying their tastes,
preferences and the like within their
limitations. Those limitations are
reached sooner than the children
believe, however, and when they
exceed them they are likely to make
mistakes-often serious ones.
Wise parents recognize this and are
careful to keep within the limits i'm
posed by the children's intelligence,
experience and abilities. There are
some children-not too many-whose
opinions may be taken seriously and
given full weight when their future
education is under consideration,
They should be listened to and,
whenever possible. allowed their way.
But there are other children,
especially those between the ages OF
13 and II, whose judgment would
not be sound on such a matter. One
child 1-clared she would not 60 to
her present school next term because
