WOMA N'S Anxiety About Health of Others BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. A gréat deal is sald about miothers ing overanxious about their children's ealth, but very little about children ing overanxious about their mother's health. Yet both situations exist. may seem odd to call them problems, | been unwise. But the child who is over- | even more careful | be done? | not helped herself one iota. When children are overanxious the result is ofteri disastrous to the moth- er's health, and it certainly resultd her being miserable. It must be con: fessed that this misery 18 so tempered with pride that her children are anx- jous for her, that she cuddles the thought to her heart. This is when she is not an elderly woman. When the mother is getting along in years, and realizes that she has to beé cautious, she rather resents being brooded over by her children, especially when their care is expressed before those outside the family. Her fraiities and inabilities are made doubly mani- fest. She shrinks from this solicitude and resents being an object of sym- pathy. When a child is thus over- anxious about her mother, she places her in an embarrassing position. = She hates to appear to disapprove of the attention of her daughter or son, while she is hurt—or she may be a bit angry. With the experience of her years she realizes that to express either is unwise. So if she has learned wisdom she says nothing—then—however much she may long to do it. In private she may suggest to her child that it would be pleasanter if she did not attract attention to infirmities. The reaction on the child depends oh her character. She may regret having anxious about her mother seldom feels that her openly expressed solicitude is unwarranted. Instead, she is more apt to fecl, “There, 1 was right. Mother did fecl badly. I mi look out for her Then what can The poor dear old lady has The child who is overanxious about the mother often keeps her from taking the care she should of herself. I know of one case, and it is typical.

BEDTIME STORIE Mrs. Whitefoot's Sharp Tongue. | A tonsue that's sharp is never smooth: | Its purpuse never is to soothe. i —Old Mother Nature. | Whitefoot the Wood Mouse sat in an | old home cut in a dead tree by Downy | the Woodpecker. He was looking up at the little round doorway, which was now quite filled by Mrs. Whitefoot. A great gladness filled the heart of White- ‘ foot. He fairly bubbled over with glad- ness. He was so filled with gladness that it was some time before he heeded ‘what Mrs. Whitefoot was saying or even noticed that that high, squeaky voice of hers wes unusually sharp. He was glad for two reasons. Not two minutes be- fore, as he had listened to the sound of claws coming up that tree, he had been in despair, for he had been sure that i “1-1-1 WASN'T RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU, MY DEAR.” 1 those claws belonged to Shadow mef Weasel.

And when she comes out later, and unexpectedly, she finds one and the other looking dejected. Sheé loves their affection, but it wears her out. After repeated attempts to rest thus, as the doctor told her she should do, she finally gave up the idea. Rest! It what misery her children were endur- ing. Such overanxiety is likely to bring about the very state of affairs that the children feel exists. The chil- dren’s overanxiety may result in the mother’s having a serious breakdown. And so both rnrenu and children should beware of bringing misery on should be given. It is the overbalance care. Due attention to heéalth of all should be given. It is the over-balance of solicitude that is disastrous. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS out leaving word. Now today you try to run away from me!" “No, no, my dear! No, No!" pfowa(eg Whitefoot.

It was absorptive as well. She made the first diapers for a new baby 24 inches square. She hemmed the torn edges with & quarter-inich hem: Later she planned to e up larger onés, say 38 inches by 86. For drying the shirts and socks she chose the non-rusting metal frames. ‘The sock frames were hinged in pairs. ‘This meant she could hang the hinged part over a clothes line and not have to in each sock individually, thereby pull- ng out the materidl at the top.

Don't pretend that you are a millionairess who is bored with parties and balls and yachts and things, and who has taken a temporary job for a fad to see what the business life is like. Don't come to work dolled up as if you were going to a reception, and don't adopt a haughty duchess attitude toward your customers and serve them with an air which seems to say, “God knows I never thought I would come to this.” It is a fatal mistake, because men abhor an aff them. 8he doesn't bélong to their world and they her.

R N R A DR DON'T pretend that you are better off than you are. Loads of girls seem to think lh?t there is something contemptitle in economy. 1In reality, they are marvels of thrift and can make a dollar go an incredible distance. They are bargain hounds who can scent a marked-down sale across a whole city. They are clever with their needles, and can make hats and gowns that look like French importations. But the¥l would rather die than have any one know it. and when you compliment them on their gowns they will say, with a bored air: “Yes, I think this is rather nice. And so cheap. I picked it up for $200.” Or they will say, “How do you like my lid?> Of course, I didn't need it, but it was such a bargain | I couldn't resist it. Only $45." As for amusement, judging by their conversation, they never, never, never 80 anywhere except to the most ritzy places. And these foolish virgins haven't enough sense to see that they are cutting themselves out of good husbands by pretending to be millionaires. For the mere talk of $200 frocks and $45 hadts scares off any young fellow on & moderate salary. Such a girl oftén sits at home with never a date because no youth has the nerve to ask a girl who is used, according to her own account, to riding in limousihes, to take & spin with him in a flivver, nor does he dare offer a ham sandwich to one accustomed to regaling herself upon fresh Russian caviar, Don't pose as a heart-smasher. There are girls who think they make themselves more desirable to men by pretending that they are besieged by sultors who wish to marry them, and that they have refused every eligible man in the l community. These girls make dates just to break them, and adopt a high and | mighty attitude toward men, receiving their attentions as no more than a small | tribute laid &t their feet It is a big mistake, girls. No man wants to think that any woman is going | arbund boasting that she has hung his scalp at her belt. Once let a girl &_erv‘. the reputation of bragging about her conquests and men | steer clear of her. ey are deathly afrald of the girl who thinks that a man | means matrimony if he takes her to the mevies. Nor do men care for girls who | have no appreciation. They don't want a girl to fall on their necks every time | they take her out, but when they do show her a time they like to have her give some Indication that she has enjoyed herself, and that she is grateful for the time and moneéy they have spent upon her . .. DON'T pretehd to be hard-bolled. That s a favorite pose with girls now. They affect to despise everything that is soft and gentle and womanly. They call children brats and announce that they will never have any bables when they get matried. They boast that they can't even darn a stocking, or boil ;\'ll&'ev;‘(lll!h;ut scorching it, and that no man need think that he wiil get them n chen. And in feality these girls are ofténer than not just stmple little girls who are dying to marry some nice chap, and go and live in a bungalow with a blue- and-white kitchen, and be good little wives and mothers. But they don't get the chance because they have driven away the worth-while men by their pretense. | So don't pose, girls. Don't pretend. Just be yourself.
