Two passengers were frightful bores, she was telling John Gunther, so she confided that before getting on the ship a fortune teller told her: "You'll never live to see your 30th birthday!" "Ha!" said one of the bores. "That's a good one." "What's good about it?" groaned Mrs. Knickerbocker. "My 30th birthday is two days hence!" . . . The trick worked, all right . . . The bores stayed away for two days, but so did everyone! Including all the submarines. Several Broadway characters were being discussed when in walked a columnist. "I wonder," someone wondered, "what his hobby is?" "Collecting," retorted another, "dirty looks." One of the New York gazettes sent a photographer down to Chinatown the other morning. The assignment: Get picture of a Chinese reading those Chinese bulletin-boarnewspapers about the Allied victories, etc. . . . The news photogger had no difficulty finding a willing Oriental who refused, however, to pose "Take a picture from back, d George wants me to marry him at once, bring my children with me. But he insists we leave my mother behind. By KATHLEEN NORRIS IS the penalty of loving a ONE FOR ALL Those who are lucky enough to be born into a large family have the advantage of companionship missed by those who must grow up alone. But they also have the disadvantage, if you choose to call it that, of having to learn very early to compromise. They must often sacrifice what they want for something that is better for all. Giving up a chance to see the last thrilling chapter of "Dead-ey- e Dan" to take care of little sister is a major childhood tragedy. But it makes so much easier the process of growing into a generous, unselfish adult. ITlarge family group that sometimes you have to hurt somebody's feelings. Sometimes you have to tell Bill's wife that because Sarah and her boys are coming down for the weekend there won't be a spare bed. Sometimes you have to indicate to dear little Patricia that because Jean is going to have only one bridesmaid she naturally wants her sister to be so cuts out Cousin Patricia. Sometimes you tactfully have to inform darling sensitive Mother that you took the rug back to Brown's and changed it for a kitchen table. More than that, sometimes as children grow older, follow their own destinies, find their own work and mates and homes, they have to take stands that to the old people seem unfeeling and inconsiderate. Many a dutiful daughter puts off her marriage because she is needed at home; puts it off so long that her young man drifts away to somebody else. Many a son goes on supporting parents, who could perfectly well support themselves, until the years when he could have carved out a happy Ue for himself have gone by. And believe me, a withered little complacent mother banging on a big ron's arm is a very poor substitute for a fine, loving young wife ar d a houseful of children. Here is the problem of a good daughter who Inds herself faced for the second time with the difficulty of break'ng away from home. Tie to Mother. "I am 3'," writes Ann Rogers, "and have two children. Betsey who is nine nd Philip, six. My husband seamed when I married him to be r trustworthy person, but he prove! to be anything but that As my mother is not very strong and my father retired many years ago, it tvas a condition of my marrying all that I live at home, and with it the exception of my honeymoon and a few summer weeks each year, I have had my own old room all my life. Mother had nice rooms fixed for Phil and me. and I was glad to give up office work and devote myself to housekeeping and to my children as they came along. Phil prospered and finally at a bargain bought a nice house, but at that time my father became ill and died, and during his long illness and after his death I could not leave my mother. We had been married about ten years when Phil left me absolutely without warning, got a divorce and married his office assistant This blow shattered me tor awhile, I had very little money and my baby was not yet four. But last year I got my job back, and as my mother had an opportunity to sell her old place advantageously, we moved into a small cottage she owns and get along very comfortably. "Last year Phil was killed tn a motor accident, and t went back to office work; in the course of that work I met a physician of means, in every way a wonderful man. We fell deeply In love and a few weeks ago he asked me to marry him. He is 44, and as far as war service Is concerned has been placed on the 'indispensable' list, as he Is head of a large public hospital and lectures to undergraduate students at the university. Whli-Road to Take? "George wants me to marry htm it once, bring my children with me -- he really loves and understands them, and they love him, and take that one and over the management of his own home out in the country. But he insist we leave my mother behind. He frill see that she always has plenty, and of course I can come and go as I please, but he will not consent to. her coming to us. He says that any one of a score of fine nurses will gladly rent the extra rooms in my mother's house, which is across the street from the big hospital. But when I only suggested this plan, my mother was so agitated and angered that she told me not to allow him to enter the house again. I am distracted between the fear of losing the man I love and respect, and destroying my mother's last happiness in life, g for she is not a club or or even church-goinwoman, her one child has been her world, and if I take away her grandchildren and myself she will very probably never forgive me, or wish to see us again. "Please tell me where my duty lies and what my course ought to be." Here, Ann, is a perfect example of the predatory parent. Your mother never gave you a brother or sister, a background of old friends and a circle Of young ones. She kept you selfishly her own, trying to shut away everything that she could not control and share in your life. When young love came to you, she must make the conditions under which you might accept it; you say it was a condition of your marrying at all that you live at home, and I can imagine exactly who made that stipulation. Now, old and cranky, and cut away from all the normal interests of age; books, friends, clubs, games, charities, war activities, having seen your first marriage wrecked because of her selfishness, she would calmly deny you another and a more promising union and condemn you to the position of a servant to her and to the children. card-playin- g Move to Home of Own. What you ought to do and what I know your good sense will prompt you to do. Is to marry your George quietly, paying no attention to the scolding and whining at home, move your children Into a younger and more normal atmosphere in .the new remember home, resent nothing, nothing disagreeable. constantly come to see your mother, bring the so wear down her children in. and resistance and win her to the new order of things in spite of herself. And when the time comes. Ann, and it comes fast, prepare yourself to treat your own children with generosity and understanding.
