Herb is having a hard time

Herbert Fits OK. for q
girl to be different" If she's
really sincere about it and
stays within civilized bounds.
But Hilda seems to have
made q career out Of being
nonconformist, mainly to
annoy people.
When I met her the things
she did had rhyme and rea-
son, even though she was the
only one who did them. Shed
set her alarm for 3 am. to
get down and watch the

But now there's our baby
and she leaves Zoe cooling at
us from her playpen at am.
while we listen to recordings.
Why put her to bed, Hilda
asks, as long as she's so
pleasant? She still wants to
follow her impulses. She's
90 and it's not cute any more.
It's embarrassing to me, II
not to her, and no example
to set q daughter.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
There are two types Of nom
conformity, the responsible
and the irresponsible. The
first is creative and construc-
tive. the other is dead-end
and antisocial. Hilda may be
ignoring the fine line between
the two.
Now that Herbert Is over
the novelty Of knowing q girl
with O whim Of iron, he will
have TO "sell" her on the
Importance Of establishing a
family code of minimum
practices" in conformity.
But this must be ac-
complished with the same
sensitivity with which he
wooed Hilda. She is right in
resenting his about-face at
titude toward the very quality
he was attracted to-her ex-
uberance. It is not fair for
him now to tell her to turn
humdrum to spare his
blushes!
Hilda and Herbert ought
to be able to agree on how
far she can go doing what
comes naturally and how
much weight to place on
what others think.
