Why Grow Old?
Husband VS.. Housekeepinq
By Josephine Lowmon

so beautiful, as being well loved
by her husband. That is q pre-
vious asset and it is worth what
ever you have to pay for it, If your
husband Is worth investing in.
On the other hand, If your hus-
band expects you to do your own
work, and maybe take care Of q
child or two, it does seem that he
might help the situation along
by being reasonably neat and
thoughtful.
However, I believe that more
women are at fault In being toe
meticulous as housekeepers. Many
women who are called wonderful
housekeepers" are poor compan-
ions. and your husband would, nc
doubt, choose to have you gay
and inspiring even If there is a
little dust scattered about.
I do not mean to promote
slovenly housekeeping in this COL
umn. A man responds to orde,
and charm Of atmosphere when
he returns home in the evening
but If he had to choose between
perfection in physical surround
ings or a spirit and personality
which bring him peace and fun

A recent article in the Journal
Of Living points up a thought
which many women should think
over if they wish to remain young
and happy. The article is titled,
Husband Keeping More Import
ant Than Housekeeping" It Is
authored by Margaret Fishback.
Miss Fishback says, when your
husband burns a hole in the best
carpet, grin and bear it. A rag
isn't half so hard to replace as a
good husband.
Women who concentrate too
much on a spick and span house
may be defeating themselves. The
average man wants to live in a
home. not a hospital, and resents
constant upheavals in the name
Of good housekeeping"
I can tell from here that this
column will make me the victim
of both verbal brickbats and
verbal bouquets! There are two
sides to the question.
Let us start at the beginning,
at the most important part! Let
us concede the fact that nothing
can give woman such a glow or
keep her so youthful or make her

Report
Of Failure
By AnaeIo Patri

One child should not be called
on to carry a report Of failure of
another to their parents. When
a child Is failing, the teacher
should make the report directly
to the parents and not through a
brother or sister.
The good" child is at work in
the classroom and a child appears
asking the teacher to please
send Rosemary to Miss Bears
ROOM" The teacher mods to
Rosemary and she goes of with
the monitor.
"You John Henry's sister?
Well. will you please tell your
mother that John Henry hasn't
done q single bit of good work
this morning? He has been tardy
twice this month and he has not
brought in his homework, three
different times. He's simply lazy.
Please tell your mother I said So"

room. She has been pinioned be-
fore q roomful Of watching chill

brother held up to public scorn,
all through no fault Of her own.
She feels bad for her own sake
and worse for her brother for she
knows he is not too good pupil
and that he is scolded at home as
well as in school. She does not
want to carry tales. does not
want to make her mother feel
bad. does not want to increase
Iher brothers troubles. Yet she
lis burdened with the responsibility
of it all.
This is the teachers RESPONSE
bility alone. A child's failure is
also the teachers failure. 1t Is
the duty of the teacher to find
why a child is failing, set to work
to correct the cause. and then
teach the child what he needs to
know. II she cannot do this she
should look for help from her SUI
pervisors, and the child's parents.
But she should not interrupt the
classroom work of another teach
er, interrupt the work Of child

His mind flashed back beyond
those twelve years to Parsons,
Kansas, and the lovely memory of
Ethel Harrison walking home with

beside him at the soda fountain.

any more. Her shoulders were
back in a beautiful military pos

and blonde Technicolor. The freck-

He came out of the past. Her
