WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, SEP Straight-From-the-Shoulder Talk to Overstrict ‘Mothers—How to Get Away From a Cruel Stepmother. AR MISS DIX: 1am an only child, and as far back as I can remember T have associated only with people 10, 15 and 20 years older than 1 am. I have been expected to enjoy the things they did. I have never bsen allowed to dance, or play cards, or to go to parties. or have hoys come to see me, or do anything but stay at home and be an old maid, although I am only 20 years old. In the last two years, whenever I expressed a desire i to 8o with the boys, I have been laughed at and kidded in my home until I did not feel like letting them come. Whenever I visit out of town'1 always have company, but never yet have I had a date in my own home. As a result of all this I lead,a very lonesome life. ; Mother etill clings to old-fashioned ideas, and even these are limited so far as amusement for young people is concerned. I do not wish to do anything wild, but I do wish I could get her to see the modern viewpoint. LONESOME GIRL. Answer: 1 do not know of ariy more pathetic individual than that of an only child who iz brought up in a household of old people with fusty, mid-Victorian ideas, and who Is expected to do just exactly as mother thinks she did when she was a girl, Ior mother has forgotten that when she was young she was hungry for pleakure, and that she was boy crazy, and that she wanted to dress as other girls did and xo with the crowd and have a part in all the fun. She didn't enjoy the instructive conversation of her elders in those days nor prefer knitting sox for the heathen to going to parties. But she thin she did, and so she forces a bleak. premature age on her daughter, which cuts her out of all the pleasures that belong to her time of life. OF course. all mothers think that th have a divine commission to lLe thelr daughters' consciences and decide what is right and wrong for them to do. So if mother happens to be narrow and rigid, and prejudiced in her views, it makes it pretty hard for the girl. You have to do in Rome as the omans do if you want to play about with young Romans. o if mother won't let daughter dance and thinks card playing is a sin and the automobile a devil wagon. why, it leaves daughter stranded high and dry on the barren rocks of home, which is hard on daughter. Hostesses won't invite her hecause she is a white elephant on their 1ds at 2 party. Boys fight shy of her and never take her anywhere use she doesn’t fit in modern society. And so the poor girl has to spend her evenings communing with our best authors, instead of having a normal time talking foolishness to boys and girls of her own age. that somehody can’t jolt these mothers awake and make them see that we are living in a new world, with new standards of value, new stand. Is of conduct, and that most of their old-fashioned theories of what a girl should do h gone into the discard, and that they have no right to impose their hide-bound restrictions on their daughters. But when mother won't change and a girl sees herself not only being cut out of a good time, Lut being done out of ny ¢ ice to marry, and being jockeyed drab. bliad alley that ends in a spinster's retreat, she is certainly justificd in rebelling acainst maternal restrictions and making fight for her right to happiness, The overstrict mother is just as bad a mother who doesn’t look after her girls at all. D AR MISS DIX: I am a girl 15 years old. 10 years old and my father married again. My stepmother is very unkind to me and 1 am as & you for advi 1bout what to do. BROKEN-HEARTED LITTLE GIRL.
