BY JOSEPHINE LOWMAN

The woman in the home
who lives entirely through her
family, with no thought Of
self, is unself1sh. This is a
generous attitude but it is
shortsighted and will work a
hardship on her family as well
as on herself later on.
Many women make q cult of
family life. They literally give
their lives to their husbands
or their mothers or fathers
and display their children to
the world as their individual
works Of art. This probably
would be the happiest Of all
roles for a.woman If things re-
manned the same.
However, life is not like that.
We lose our parents and many
women lose their husbands.
Children are only loaned to us.
We do not own them and
sooner or later they must be
free to go out into the world
and lead their own lives and
have their own families, with
out unhappy possessive emo
tional tugs from us.
If you always could remain
at the center Of that warm
family circle with your loved
ones circulating about you,
then you would need to have
no other thought-but the
chances are against it. A few
years from now you may find
yourself in an entirely differ
ent situation.
This always calls for a
great readjustment on a wom-
ans part and especially the
woman who has developed no
individual tastes, who has
added no new activities to her
daily living for years and

cerned by the Suez squeeze on a
policy of common direction.
Amidst all the talk on the Suez
crisis, there has however been
ominous silence on Israel's right
to free navigation. Israel, strange
ly enough, has not been invited
to any of the talks though legally
she was the classic example of
NaSSer'S defiance of international
law. Nor has Israel come directly
into the picture under the users
plan. Premier Mollet of France
was reported to have asserted that
IsraeTs navigation rights would
be assured by the association. Mr..
Dulles, however, was reluctant to
commit himself, declaring that
while he was not oblivious to Is
raePS navigation rights he didn't
think the association was in a
position now to guarantee any
thing.
Meanwhile. as the opposing
powers were jockeYing for posi-
tion. Prime Minister Anthony
Eden of Great Britain gained the
distinction. albeit by force of nec-
essitY. of becoming the first top
ranking Western diplomat to
sound confirmation of IsraeIs re-
peated admonitions that if Nasser
escapes the pitfall while i'm
mersing in the Suez his next tar
get would be the Jewish state.
Eden. it is true. intimated Britain
, would come to Israels aid in such
an eventualitY. but the tone of his
statement was such as to leave ac-
tual British policy to conjecture.
His statement. it seems to this
corner. was both a cynical and
sheepish admission that when Is
rael alone had been Nasser's tar
get the Western powers were
quite satisfied to find shelter from
responsibility under the cover Of
i neutralism. Thus the moral issue
emerged from a source that was
by no m anxious to even
admit its existence.

Weeks have now passed since
the emergence of the Suez crisis,
but the tangle seems to be grow
ing tighter instead of yielding to
patient hands. There was hope the
first London conference of twen-
ty-two nations could come up
with mutually acceptable for
mula. But that was not to be it's
fate. Later, Australia's Prime
Minister Menzies went on a mis-
sion to Cairo. But Nasser, prod
ded and guided no doubt by Mos
cow, remained adamant, posing
as an exponent of sovereignty and
anti-colonialism, an approach cal
culated to secure the sympathy of
the underdeveloped countries of
the world.

Mr.. Schiotz has overcome his
handicap remarkably well inso-
far as diction is concerned, and
of course nothing could deprive
him of his ability to project the
drama and intense feeling Of
Schumann's setting Of Heine's
cycle. The singers voice is
somewhat rough, especially in
the top range. and the lighter
and more rapid songs have been
considerably slowed down, If my
memory of recorded perform
ances is reliable.
While the Handel cantata did
not seem perfectly suited to Mr..
Schiotz, either temperamentally
or vocally, the Schumann cycle
was beautifully phrased and. in
those songs of not-too-great
range, very effectively sung.
Frequently there were moments
when the singer was able to re-
incarnate the old poise, clear
penetration, and rhythmic sub
