The theory of God as ifested through Christ and the scriptures. but not necessarily by any particular church. It is the theoryin that God created the universe of which there exists the spirits both good and evil. Nature itself is a struggle for survival, a struggle confor existence in a well balanced Its flict. It is a test, you might say. In evil. and both good elements are man himself there are both good and evil Inclinations.

He said the old Washingabout who was fighting whom, or prophesying dire things which never happen well that sort of stuff did not seem to be wanted by so many people in these perilous times. I failed to blush, but put on my best puzzled expression. He went on to say he had dropped past a bookshop, and had found the window filled with literature about mental health and happiness, and how to get along in the kind of world we live in get along pleasantly as we can by our inspirations and thoughts, religions, ideals. Phiwas what the people losophy wanted, he said, good, simple every day reasoning on the plain philosophy of life. They all looked at me. My philosophy Is to keep quiet about such matters and profit in my own thoughts by what others say, but they were in earnest and troubled about questions such as whether there will be another war, whether the unions have captured the Republicans, or vice versa, and where is it all going anyway, so I suggested we get together to see if we could agree on a recipe for the We started troubled with questions and answers. HOW ABOUT WART Q. WU1 there be another war? A. Wars arise from the desires of men. Within each man normally there is a desire to get ahead, to excel and conquer. Now man has not been able to civilize these desires within himself to an extent where he can live in peace at home. How can he do on an international scale what he cannot do on a national, state or local scale? We agreed wars always have arisen, the last few from weak nations but many from strong nations, and it would be impossible to prevent wars by simply making strong nations weak or weak nations strong. We agreed that, yes, there always will be wars. Q. Is education essential to happiness for man? A. The questioner was nearly shouted down. Of course not The happiest people most frequently are the least educated people. One fellow said he never had seen a discontented cow. But we also agreed that education enables man to attain higher appreciations of life, to enjoy more things. Q. What is the best religion? A. This stumped us for a while. We finally agreed that it was whatever religiqn you believed in. If you were born in it, you would very inlikely seek in its realm for your spirations and spiritual solace. But one of our group held out against a unanimous decision without reservations (in a way like the Supreme g court, which writes three concur-urinbelieved he said He opinions). in the religion of nature. any sort of ton just the now.

Mrs. George C. Marshall, wife of the secretary of state, who was judged by the New York Fashion academy as the best dressed woman of the year in public life. She is shown wearing a native Chinese costume. alim- mediately married again, and she disliked her stepfather, although he was always kind to her. Bruce had two daughters at that time, 13 and 17. The elder has since married, but the younger, Betsy, and my own daughter, are continually quarreling. The family has increased since by the arrival of another girl and now a baby boy, and we could be ideally happy but for Denise, whose wretched disposition, jealousy and resentment spoil everything. Betsy, now 18, is a.charming girl, pretty, musical and full of fun. Denise is too tall, too heavy and at the clumsy, shy, difficult stage of adolescence. Betsy is like another mother to the younger children; Denise resents being asked to do the slightest thing for them. Armand, my first husband, has married again and has two boys. Denise wants very much to live with her father, but for several reasons that would not be practicable. His second wife is a flighty and hysterical woman who had had two previous unsuccessful marriage expert ences before she married Armand, and if Denise cannot be happy here with me, the chances of her being happy there are certainly slim. If we could afford It we would send her to a boarding school, but beside the expense there Is the consideration that we need her here to help out with the housework and baby care. Denise Moody, Difficult. My husband has been all patience and kindness up to now, but now he is beginning to suffer from Denises moods, as we all do. Last night he spoke to her sharply at the dinner table; it had been a cold, long dragging winter day for everyone, the house for some reason was chilly, dinner wasnt quite a success and all these things contributed to shorten tempers and cloud the atmosphere. Anyway, Denise had hysterics, left the table and refused to return even at Betsys coaxing. I myself am a writer, the letter concludes, and I realize you know some of my books. But my imagination refuses to cope with a situation in which a mother and daughter are completely out of sympathy. This child is only 13; she cannot leave home, and apparently she cannot be happy in her home. I reason with her, I ask her to make it a matter of prayer, and she looks at me with a long, bored yawn and says patiently, Oh, please, Mother. Will you pretend that this is one of your stories, and bring it to your usual happy ending? My dear Marian, I dont think this is a matter for imagination to solve; it is a question of supreme diplomacy on your part and character on that of Denise. Denise is suffering from jealousy; first of the man who took her loved father's place, second of the charming and third of the babies who replaced her in your affections. All these feelings, infinitely ramified, are making life intolerable to her, and being 13, she cant see any way out for what seem to her ages and ages. Quite naturally you admire the pretty musical Betsy, quite naturally you and their step-siste- the yearning inspiration.

When parents are divorced, the children are divided in loyalty, bewildered, embarrassed. A sensitive girl, like Denise in todays story, suffers a great deal, particularly during tbe trying years of adolescence. Denise is 13 and lives with ber mother, who bos remar tied. Tbe girl quarrels with ber stepsister, Betty, wbo is 19. Tbe younger children, a brother and sister, complicate things further. Denise does not want to help with tbe work or the and is moody, resentful, jealous and unhappy. Because ber father is married again, this time to a "flighty, hysterical woman," there it little likelihood that Denise would be any better off with him and ber stepmother. Denise is getting to be a serious problem. Her stepfather is beginning to lose patience with ber. Miss Norris suggests a way out, however, that should be satisfactory to everbody. Miss Norris advises that Denise be allowed to board at tbe borne of some schoolmate. Here she would have companionship and would be free from tbe constant frictions that are now besetting ber. She would have a chance to develop ber own personality unfet tered. baby-tendin- g father rave over the baby daughter and son; meanwhile poor Denis ' forgets things, breaks things, falls over things, blots things, burns things and of course feeds hate and resentment all the time. Let He'r Visit Father. Possibly a visit to her fathers home might help her see this situation in a saner light, but that Is unlikely. She and her stepmother would not be friends, and domestic slavery for the two there would repeat the miserable situation of your own nursery. If she became desperately unhappy, under her father's roof, and felt that she could not return to yours, it is not improbable that she would take her own life, causing you a lifelong remorse, no matter how justified you feel now in the course you have . half-brothe- followed. So I suggest that you look over the list of her school associates and find one whose mother could take her in as a boarder for a while. This means that you would pick a humble home, with housework to do. But Denise would be on her own, and if I know anything of these shy awkward, youngsters she would blossom forth in colors that would amaze you. With a constant companion of her own age, with no painful contrasts between her and an older girl, with no burning jealousies to poison everything she says and does, Denise will develop far more normally and happily than she can in your care. The charge for this sort of young boarder is light; perhaps as low as $7 or $8 a week. It will be worth It to you to make this experiment; she and her housemate will do their homework chatter of together, school affairs, bake cookies, go to Saturday movies and live their own satisfied lives. I have known several cases where this plan worked a real miracle, and I heartily recommend it to you. Teen-Ag- e Marriage More American girls are married between the ages of 15 and 19 than Is tbe case in Canada, western Europe or Australia. Twelve per cent of the young women in the United States are wed some time between their 15th and 19th birthdays, it was noted, while the figure is only 6 per cent for France and Canada; 4 per cent for Italy, Belgium, Portugal and Australia; and 2 per cent for England, Wales, Scotland, Sweden and the Netherlands. , |
