WhyGrow
Old?
By josephine Lowman

Edith q. Neisser had an in-
teresting article recently In the
Journal Of Living. In which she
gave the rules for making being
q grandmother an enjoyable
hobby rather than an opportunity
for strife.
In short, part Of 1t is: Unfair
competition is against the rules.
In other words the mother takes
care Of the children hour by hour
day by day-and you are not
fair II you spoil them too much
and leave the correction to the
mother. Don't you remember?
Spoil them just a little.
Also. every generation makes
Its own mistakes and you had
best let your offspring make theirs
just as you did yours. with nary
a word. Hard? Yes!
Do you know what this sounds
like to me? It sounds like eating
your cake and not getting indi-
gestion from it. II you are just a
little bit smart. Here you have
ready made children, and no re-
sponsibility, except at times. For
heavens sake. do not antagopize
the mother and do not dump
burdens on her shoulders.
With the privilege Of being o
grandmother also comes a respon-
|sibility. The final decision and
the ultimate affection should go
to the parents. II little Johnny
vets his pants longer than he
should or does not get the rest
you think he should. be temperate
in your opinion.
I become 90 imbued with what
I write that now I wish ] had
more children so ! could have
more grandchildren. but maybe
1t will all work out. My father
was one Of nine sons.
Make being a grandmother o
hobby-but If you hope to do 80
you will have to use restraint and
diplomacy and play fair.

American women will not fall
for such a scheme again. They
cannot afford to completely make
over their wardrobes. And they
will not go for fashions unSuited
to modern living. We have weed
ed our fashion garden"
Will the new year bring any
fashion changes for men?
There will be further advances
in summer and sports wear. max
ing them more comfortable and
colorful." he replied. But I
don't think there will be any
changes in the standard uniform
of the business suit. There are
two reasons:
81. The cut Of the suit is fiat
tering to men. From the age of
nine until death. he wears the
same thing. Thus in a suit he
can always have the figure Of a
boy.
"2. Women might resent in
vasion of their realm. They want
mems clothing to provide the
background for what they are
wearing, not competition"

HOLLYWOOD R.-The hus-
bands of America can rest as
sured that .nilady's wardrobe will
not be revolutionized by any more
"looks" in 1852.
That comforting news comes
from Gilbert Adrian. whose dress
creations have been worn by most
Hollywood glamour queens.
II think that American women
have outgrown any looks' that
might be put over on them" he
remarked. If there Is any nota-
BILE style in 1862, it will be the
American look It will be a
crystallization of all the things
that American women have found
practical through the years.
After all, American women lead
a much different life from Euro
pean women. That is why they
cannot follow European styles.
The American woman is active;
she drives a car. takes part in
sports and travels a great deal.

Don't Ever Discuss

1t is certainly desirable, as al
general rule, for father and
mother to talk out differences Of
opinion privately. But II that
cannot always be done, there is
another course to follow. Have
q family council on the spot.
Let's suppose that Junior wants
to 90 out and you think It is tool
cold. Your husband says, "Oh,
Pshaw. it won't hurt him. Letl
him CO."
You don't like that kind of in
reference with your management.
Maybe your husband doesn't like
the idea Of coddling his son. How
are you going to meet this chal-
lenge? You can reply cheerfully,
I'VE seem to have little differ
ence OF opinion here. Let's talk !
1t over in family council" Junior
Is part Of the council, Of course.
He states his reasons; you state
yours; dad states his. It may be
helpful to write down all the
arguments for and against. Then
ask about each one, els this O.

And. of course. family council
OF this sort won't work unless you
and your husband have o good
deal Of self-control and no ten

But II you are grown-up enough
to make it work. you will be set

He will learn that the world Is
full Of differences of opinion, but
that they need not lead to hard

and quickly. If they really want

BARK. OLIVE THURLoW

The American barkentine Olive
Thurlow was wrecked on Deem

of North Carolina, and one man
lost his life from the terrible blow
inflicted upon his head by the miz-
zenmast, which gave way and Cell
to the deck soon after the vessel
entered the breakers. The rest of
the crew were saved.
The Thurlow was of 660 tons
burden, &c years old, and heavily
laden with several hundred thous-
and feet of southern pine lumber,
a portion of which was carried on
deck. She was bound from Charles
ton, South Carolina, to New York
City, in command of Captain j. O..
Hayes, and carried crew of sew
en- men all told. When as far on
her way as Bodie Island she ran

must have been ten feet under the
water" when their grasp would
almost fail, and even when they
rose to the surface the break of
the waves would nearly smother
them again. At last one lost his
hold and seemed sure to drown, but
the life-savers went far out into
the surf in spite of the wreckage
and deadly undertow and saved
him-luckily themselves escaping
great injury or death which was
liable to follow single blow from
the heavy timbers thrust to and
fro with terrific force. "The res
cued man" says the keeper, was
more dead than alive when taken
from the water" The other four
still held on and as soon as they
were near enough the surfmen
again went out into the breakers
and dragged the poor fellows to
the beach. The second mate who
was badly hurt by the falling miz-
zenmast, and a sailor who had
flesh wounds and severe bruises,
could not stand, and had to be car
ried to the station in wagon. The
three others were practically help
less, but though bruised and sore
were not wounded. None of the
five could have held out much long
er, nor any have saved themselves
had they lost their places on the
piece of wreckage which sustained
them. All were at once taken to
the station, where they were strip
ped of their wet clothing, wrapped
in blankets, furnished with proper
stimulants, and placed in bed. AT
ter two days they were sent to
Beaufort.
1t is much to be regretted that
Keeper Gaskill was not allowed to
shift the Thurlow to a better an
ehorage, since it appears in the
testimony that the schooner War

in berth selected by him. The
thanks of the Service are due to
the Keeper and two assistants of
the Point Lookout lighthouse and
to several fishermen, for their
voluntary and efficient aid in res
cuing the shipwrecked men. The
following letter was received from
the latter by the General Superin-
