Individuality in the Family Circle BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER |+, Leading what is called “one’s own 1ife” in & household is a matter which | many persons consider impossible. If this is dependent upon entire separa- tion from all family ties, then to do so 15 indeed difficult. ~If, however it is a CONSTANT CRITICISM ‘MAKES A PERSON REBELLIOUS. matter of reads may be viewed from another angle. Because circumstances ore baffling in existing surroundings, cne is inclined nt, the matter to put the entire blamé upon the sur- roundings and none upon one’s self. a rule, the burden of such blame de- serves to be, if not entirely shifted, at Jeast divided. v It is traditional that the “family at- titude” s supposed to be in opposi- tion to independence of thought and action on the part of individual mem- bers of the houschold. 'Whether or not this is actually the case, the one in rebellion feels certain that it is. One way in which the family can help 18 to disabuse the mind of the one trying for individualism of such an attitude. That is how the family may help the situation, by contributing what freedom it can to the uhappy member. ‘The shock of finding no criticism for things which hitherto brought com- ment may result in the assumption | that such ecriticism is felt, but not spoken. This may bring an unfortunate reaction, Here is where tables are turned a little. Surely the family has the right to is own attitude as much as the individual has to his. Each should be respected. As long as no actual interference occurs each should give that much quarter to th¥ other. The improvement should be taken for what it is, an effort in the right direction. If the one in revolt gives no eredit to the rest for trying to aid in the situation, there is sure to be a re- action on their part. Why seek to give freedom where it is not appreciated? | The adjustment of these two viewpoints | is difficult but not impossible. Until the time comes when circum- stances justify more freedom to the individual than is at the moment pos- sible, compromises such as are sug- | gested must be inaugurated and should | be met with the greatest favor, (Copyright, 1929.)

Students of human nature are, after all, rather partial, dogmatic and ex- clusive. I have yet to find a single observer, who did not point out that the life perfod he was writing about was not the most important of all There are two fallacies in most ap- praisements of life periods. First, most students stress the im- portance of years rather than life forces. Perhaps the so-called endocrinology, or gland psychology,” which studies the glands as life forces, will, when sys- temalized, give us & better understand- ing of periodicity. For this we must wait, perhaps a century. In the sec- ond place, life periods are always Im- pertant, even down to the very end of & long life. The writer who dentes this fact is looking at life forces through the | wrong end of his periodoscope, to coin a term. Making all due allowances for partial observation and faulty deduction, the 25-t0-40-year period does rank high, and perhaps takes first place among the five-year periods of life. of judging periods, even from the very first one, is based on occupation and achievement. A person’s life should be measured and evaluated in terms of achievement. A good deal s expected of the 35-to- 40-year-old man, and a good deal is accomplished by him, although his achievements for the period are some- times not recognized for many years thereafter. The most important thing T can see about this period is the fact that the individual is settling down. Until then | his physical bullding-up forces have ex- ceeded the tearing-down forces. At this period these forces add up to give zero, i. e, are balanced. If this be true, and T think it is, you need not expect much in a physical way of & man beyond 40, except in the case of a super-endowed individual. ‘What holds for the physical side of a | person ‘also will hold for the psycho- logical side. After all, the mind is only the body in actién. If the body settles down to husiness, so does the mind. The 35-t0-40-year-old individual is men- | tally mature for most occupations, most social adjustments.

L2 < I think T'll go to Portland, Maine, and so I take the fastest train, that cuts off seven hours or more from time they used to make before. At Salt Lake I desert the train and climb aboard a speedy plane that beats a hundred miles an_hour, propelled by an uncanny power. Like something shot from cata- pult, I scoot along, and I exult. I make the trip in record time, old sluggish methods wete a crime. And when the Portland streets I view, there's nothing there for me to do but gossip with the kindly cops, and fill myself with soda pops, and loaf around and yawn and smoke, and buy some peanuts in a poke. I might have taken half a year seen the country in between, the bosky dells and hillsides green; there was no reason for my haste, my energy was gone to waste. And now I think Il journey home, and leisurely I ought to Toam, so I can see the spacious land, the lakes and streams and woodlands grand. But I would beat the time I made when Portlandward I was con- veyed. And so I whiz through fog and cloud as though with lightning's speed endowed. By other air mad pilgrims chased, I travel with indecent haste, and when my Punktown home I view, there's nothing much for me to do. Had my arrival been delayed, no differ- ence 1t would have made. I hang around the village square and tell of how I went by air to Portland town and back again, and paid out many iron men. There was no reason for my | speed except the normal human greed for admiration and applause—the worst excuse that ever was. WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1929.) Cantaloupe Frappe.

In Autumn he can ob- serve the movements of the ducks and all their tribe, seen now in great con- gregations, fat and gamey. Even in Winter the bird lover delights in the'l little northern fellows to whom our mild climate is a Riviera compared with the Arctic regions where they go in Summer. Midsummer alone is the dead season for birds. Fully half the interesting Spring migrants nest north of us; .ever. the species that stay are now moulting or beginning to retire, and have left off singing. They hop 8o silently and listlessly through the hot, no longer flowery, woods, that they might as well not be here. ut there is one class of birds seen best of a Summer day—the heron tribe. And of them all, my favorite is the een _hercn. Ornithol take little interest in him because he is common, even around little muddy pools in farm- ing ecountry, no less than in deep swamps, and he has a broad, shapeless and “uninteresting” rahge-—most of the Eastern United States, indeed. These are the very reasons for which I find him an interesting bird. The craze for “rarity” in natural history be- longed to the Victorian period, and many extant Victorians still worship at its altars. One great Victorian, Dar- win, knew, however, that the common- est dooryard weed might be as inter- esting as the rarest fern from the mountains of the moon. Accept the green heron, then, as common—even vulgar, if you like. But ou must grant me that his tameness, is graceful, yet ponderous flight, his elfin, watery silhouette down some water-lane, and the strange harsh cry, are one with the spirit of all that is Summery and splendid, dreamy and | liquid, in the aquatic world. If practical, you must admit, too, that he does us all a good turn by eat- | ing frogs and insects from which, ere long, we would be overrun but for the birds. And yet, though useful and beautiful when alive, not one hunter in 50 can resist the temptation to kill this friendly little fellow—though, when dead, he is both unattractive and per- fectly uscless, for neither his flesh nor his feathers have any value to speak of. ‘The reason for this is partly that the heron will cling to his bushes until you are within 10 feet of him, hoping you will not see him; when he rises, does so with a.squawk that calls attention to him; his flight is slow and noisy, and, as a moving target, he is the sportsman’s delight.

R, WITH And so the | “Reg‘lar Fellers” Who Became Great School Bully Blacked Both of Lord Palmerston’s Eyes. BY J. P. GLASS. Perusing their son's letters, Viscount and Lady Palmerston suddenly came to the conclusion—or perhaps it was oniy Lord Palmerston—that young Henry John Palmerston was getting a wrong start in life. His thoughts seemed to relate too persistently to food. Henry John was a great letter writer. He would rather write a letter than convey his thoughts by word of mouth, even if the person he addressed hap- Kehr'l,d to be under the same roof with On Christnas day, 1791, when he was only 7, his mother ‘asked him to dine with Her. ~Straightway he sent her a formal written acceptance “to goble up mince-pyes or whatever else there is for dinner.” Food of various descriptions contin- ued thereafter to figure in his corre- spondence. Thus, in writing home from Harrow, where he had been sent in the hope of reform, he said: so, for I am in a very healthy place. . . . The cake was very much’ liked— what I liked best in it was that at top it was plain and at bottom plumb (plum), end then the sugar was so rich. One senses in these few words the tenderness of the memories left by this cake. But what a world of pathos is revealed in another letter, also written from Harrow, but to a friend traveling on the Continent.

But the vis- count loved to be touring the Conti= nent, while Lady Palmerston was ad= dicted to society and the pleasures of that noted resort, Bath, so they left him in the care of Italian tutors and French governesses, But they awoke in time. Harrow did the rest. He had a sturdy frame and won his first school fight. After that he became rather an expert practitioner with his | fists and, indeed, so rowdy that he was threatened with expulsion. He fought any one and every one— lads of noble blood like his own and | Jads of lesser degree. He got into cricket and made the school team. In- cidentally, he conducted certain experi- | ments which had beneficial results, as | & letter to a boy friend indicates. “As | for getting drunk,” he says, “I can find | no_pleasure in it.” Ultimately he had ‘a battle with & fellow named Salisbury—a bully twice | his size.
