MASCULINE COMMENT.

(Fr0m J. w. D., GGithersburg)
Mrs. j. E. NJ, Arlington: I am
just a dumb man who happened
to read your letter about sham
rpooing your daughters hair. Let
me ask why you think a 10
month-old should enjoy a sham
poo; also why you should enjoy
it? There are jobs that need to
be done whether any one enjoys
them or not.
I have a place of business and
let me say that it becomes diff
cult to hold your temper in check
to see certain parents and their
children take your place apart
AS the children rip and tear, the
mother never scolds or frowns
but offers lollypops, ETC." The
child has had it's mothers num-
ber since it was q few weeks old
and it continues to perform like
an outlaw knowing the mother is
helpless with her pseudo psychpl-
ogy.
My three babies all had tan
trums with their shampoos. got
kidded or spanked II necessary to
help them get over them. Now
they love shampoos. Moreover,
they know there are some sour
moments in life and they had
better get past them as quickly
as possible to not get in deeper
trouble by displaying their nasty
little tempers.
OF course, children grow out Of
phases. It is up to parents to act
like adults and help the child get
past the phase. not to stabilize
the child in infantile stages. Let
me warn you that shampoos are
absolutely nothing compared to
what's coming. You had better
|get squared away before the gale
starts.
