The situayoung people, some to discipline must tion as presently handled is unfair you, your husband, and especially to the youngsters. The girl should be either in school or working: the boy definitely should be contributing something to your household.

If he makes a small salary, sum would be a small one, but at least it would establish him' as a responsible person, not a parasite. DEAR MISS DIX: 11 possible for older people really to fall in love? I know a woman who is spparently very much in love with man she has known for years. She La widow, he's a widower. They are frequently in each other's company. Is friendship and companionship best for them, or would they be happier if they married? A.LJ.

ANSWER: Who would be so presumptuous to put an age limit on love? It may take different forms at different ages, or with difterent people, but folks are capable of loving all their lives. The mutual devotion of older people is a perfect foundation for marriage: it will prove just deeper manifestation and extension of their present friendship. DEAR MISS DIX: I'm a girl of 23, painfully shy. I suppose I have an inferiority complex because 1 always imagine people are better than I am. Although I'm told by my friends that I'm pretty, still can't get along with people.

With my intimate friends, I'm full of life and fun. but with strangers I'm completely tongue- tied. MILDRED O. ANSWERED: The best way to get over shyness among strangers is to get out among them more. Perhaps this sounds paradoxical, but it is only the initial plunge that hurts.

Group activity of any kind is what you need. Before you go out, prime yourself with a few observations on current topica. They'll serve as an opening wedge, then les the other party do the talking. You just listen attentively. (Released by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Mount Holyoke Club To Hear Horace H.

Ruth Millett We, the Women doormat than a perfect wife." MAMA SPEAKS UP Not long AgO I heard a mother of A young wife whose husband will soon return from Korea and who apparently wants him to come home to a "perfect wife," says in her letter to me: "If my marriage is to be of the happlest kind, selfishness cannot enter into My reply may sound like disillusioning advice to a 22-year-old who yearns to be perfect wife, but "Don't try too hard to be a perfect wife. Don't worry too much over your supposed faults. No man marries an angel. or A perfect wife. A man marries a woman because he loves her, faults and all.

"And don't fall for the mistaken notion that to be a good wife you have to be completely unselfish. A woman who never thinks of herself, of what she wants out of Me. but forever and always puts her husband and children first is more likely to become an unappreciated four say without apology: "I've told my family this is going to be MY year. This year I'm going to do some of the things U've wanted to do and kept putting off because whenever it came to choice always Agured my husband's and children's Interests were more important than mine." Is that woman being selfish in Anally deciding that she has much right as any member the family to having some life of her own? of course, she isn't. She is being wise.

She will be a happler, more interesting person for insisting on having some time for herself. And therefore she'll be a better wife and mother. She will gain new respect from her family, too. We don't expect husbands and children to be compietely unselfish, do we? why should we expect it of ourselves? (All rights reserved, NEA Service, Inc.)

Eleanor Roosevelt My Day NEW YORK-1 attended meeting the other night in the Washington Irving High school that was sponsored by students. I am partic ularly glad that students are taking such An Interest in this election campaign.

At the meeting short and very good movie was giving scenes of Governor Stevenson's campaign and some excerpts from his speeches. Elmer Rice was there to speak also, and he was kind enough to let first because I was in mauappear Next week, on Oct. 23, most of the universities and colleges in this area will hold some kind of celebration to mark the coming of age of all those who will vote year for the first time. I think this is An important event, and I wish on that day some of our most important speakers would take note of the fact and make special reference to the new voter. We should make great deal more of this first vote, for the time when you are able to take an active part in your government not merely through your influence with others, but through your own vote, 18 a great and responsible time.

I happen to believe that the age should be lowered to 18. But it still is held at 21. and up to now that has always been considered the time when a man actually comes of age and can assume all his legal responsibilities. It 1s day which. for men and women both, should be marked with some solemnity.

The young people who come together on that day to celebrate their frat vote should think of their heritage as members of this great democracy. OUR FOREFATHERS could have had little idea when they founded this nation how great it would become in such a short span of years. They felt heavily the responsibility of making life possible for those who had come to settle the 13 colontes. Sometimes in certain areas these settlers nearly died of famine. Transportation was 50 poor and dangerous that one settlement often would not know what was happenthe in another.

Today, when trans. portation and communication are so rapid, it is our responsibility to know what is happening all over the world as well as at home. The first voter has a great responsibility for his country. But since his own country tied to all the other nations of the world, he has to take broader view than did our forefathers and he bears an even greater responsibility. It 1s wonderful time to come of age this year- to make up one's own mind what is best for one's country in a Presidential election, to feel free to as one believes and to know that by being active in one's own environment one can contribute something to the solution of questions at home and abroad.

May the celebrations held on October 23 to, commemorate the coming of age of new voters in 1952 serve to inspire every young citizen to socept full responsibility as a citizen of this democracy. E.

Alicia Hart Beauty Hints You may have a drawerful of buttons that you have been saving and adding to each time you snip the button off discarded garment. These buttons can have a far more a glamorous use than merely serving as pile from which to choose replacements for junior's corduroys.

You can make chic at -home skirts and stoles with the buttons as your inspiration. First, sort them out so you will know exactly how many good ones you have and how many of each type. With new or leftover piece of material for your skirt or stole and some imagination to work out a decorative plan for your buttons, you can get to work at once and have a new outfit in no time. Here are some examples of what you can do: Get piece of bright red chints and a couple of yards each of black and red velvet ribbon. Look through your pile of buttons to see If there are dozen or so rhinestone-centered buttons, some with black and some with white centers.

Make yourself full skirt from the chintz. Interlace the black and red velvet to form a square and sew it sidewise on your skirt as checkerboard patch pocket. Then you can sew the buttons on different squares and you will have gay checker game in progress on your skirt. You can make very. smart skirt by sewing three black pockets down the sides of a -white minutely checked skirt.

Use small white buttons in rows across your frat two pockets. Sew the same kind of buttons in larger size on your center pockets and sew still larger white buttons on your pockets near the hem. A gala evening shirt can be made from richly textured piece of material that you can pick up tively cheaply at An upholstery remnants counter. Ice-blue antique satin is one gestion. You could stitch leaves on the skirt with green thread and outline the leaves with silver thread.

Strew some flower petal buttons among the leaves. With it wear cummerbund fastened with stone buttons. The "sliver' grass" quilting will keep the skirt from sagging as well as look exotie. Germantown Recital Planned by Dr. Tidmarsh -Dr.

Elmer A. Tidmarsh, director of music and organist at Union college, Schenectady, who also is director of the Euterpe' and: Singers clubs, in this city, will present a recital on the new Baldin electronic organ in the. Germantown Methodist church at 7:30 o'clock, next Sunday night. Dr. Tidmarsh recently returned to this country from tour of Europe where, he played in the Notre Dame cathedral.

14. Dorothy Dis Letter Box DEAR MISS DIX: Bill and have gone with each other for two years." During the past six months. we have talked of marriage and have decided to wait until we are both 21, which will be in two years. Our parents approve- or did, until my Dad suddenly asked me to measure my love for Bill. I told him thing like that couldn't be measured.

He said It could, by a year's separation during which we would have no communcation with each other. pointed out the fact that since we live in the same neighborhood miles apart, in fact--it would be rather dimcult. Dad said we could manage to keep apart, nevertheless. I'm not afraid of Bill's love, or mine, fading. but am worried cause this seems such difficult thing to be forced to do.

V. B. ANSWER: Your father is very foolish, to put it mildly, to force this "test" separation. Since you and Bill were planning to forego marriage for another two years, and have quite evidently matured beyond the impetuosity of adolescence. you seem capable of managing your own affairs, The two- year waiting period should be sufficient test of your affections.

PROJECT MAY BACKFIRE Experimenting with love is a dangerous thing, and has an unhappy faculty of backfiring with tesults that are offtimes tragic. Your Dad's efforts to maneuver your lives into the grooves he selecta may be well intentioned but they are woefully Ill directed. The emotional strain of being held incommunicado from someone you are bound to see in the normal course of day's events, and being forced to meet new men Just to satisfy your father's theories, would be enough to break any spirit. Bill, course, being made and possessed patience than you, la more vulnerable. Regardless of how much he loves you, loneliness la a most difficult condition to fight.

You are both placed in position where, lacking the security of loved one's presence, you are open to the temptation of other dates, with a consequent, and unjustined, mutual loss of confidence. Of course, con highly probable that since you are both young people of high principle, sincerely in love and determined to do the right thing, you will get through the year without undue stress. After all, year la a relatively short period. To prove something that ently is already well established, namely, the fact that you and Bill love each other, Dad is taking rather an unnecessary risk with his theories. A -minded parent is most difficult person to convince, but I do hope that some persuasion can be used to convince your father that he is wrong.

DEAR MISS DIX: About two months ago my husband stopped giving me his pay check. He doesn't like my tolks and says that until I give them up completely he won't give me any more money. We have three children. 8. T.

R. ANSWER: See the Family Court in your city. Your husband cannot stop supporting his family simply because he doesn't care for his inlaws. DEAR MISS DIX: After going with me for two years, my boy friend has suddenly decided he wants to go with a variety of girlssome nice, and some not so nice. Are these Ideas normal for boy of 16, or do you think it is an cuse to get rid of me? J.

M. ANSWER: What constitutes normalcy in an, adolescent boy? Volumes would probably required to cover all the facts of such question. In your friend's case, he has probably acquired some older and bolder friends who have given him ideas too advanced for his years. I'll warrant if his family hears of them, speedy measures will be taken to quell the young man's independence. Don't be hesitant to let him see your disapproval his friends, and let him know that.

if he keeps quest onable company. you will have nothing more to do with him. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My band and I have been married three years; we are both 25. Soon after the wedding, his sister and brother moved in with us. She's 17 and he 18 19.

Even though she has quit school, she won't even try to get job, nor will she help me around the house. (The boy works but gives me nothing for room and t-ard. My husband says we shouldn't expect anything from them. B. T.

A. ANSWER: Your husband couldn't possibly be more wrong I. The worst Injustice he can do his brother and sister in to permit them to grow up with no feeling of responsibility. since you and your husband are netAng in of parenta to these SERVING ON COMMITTEE for the supper and "hard dance at the Dutchess Golf and Country club, Saturday night, will be Mrs. EDGAR PETROVITS.

I think The volce was snapped off. "That old line!" said a young guest disgustedly. "Why should men lose respect for girls for doing something before marriage- and keep respect for us for doing the same thing after marriage?" Ann is 16. I said, "Would you feel happy and comfortable making love to man you weren't married to?" My young guest wriggled.

"Well she began. She has no mother and so I made relittle speech. comfortable- I said, or you "You wouldn't wriggle at the idea. The answer to question is that men lose respect for girls who engage In sex activity before marriage, not because they have engaged in sex ACtivity, but because they have cooperated in a sneaky, defant experlence. What loses the respect is not sex activity, but the fact that the girl has shown herself to be an uncertain person who others make up her mind for her." "A man would lose some respect for.

you, too. you. told. him you were on diet -and then let him persuade you into eating two banana spilts. There's nothing the matter with men that isn't the matter with us, too.

We can't rerespect people who believe one thing -and do another. Neither can they." Someone has given Ann the 1m- pression that sex activity in itself means loss of male respect. So she is a little defiant on the subject. This impression often makes girls unhappy. 80 we should Young, great care to point out that this loss of male respect occurs only when two people do not take legal and moral responsibility for the sex activity.

We don't want to confuse them by implying that the sex activity is the bad thing, when the bad thing the refusal to take proper responsibility for it. Sex is not the enemy of our girl children, but Joy and communication. The enemy is terror of uncertainty, secret defiance and the romantic imaginations that express themselves in irresponsible behavior, as well AS premature sex activity. These are the real destroyers- -and wise sex instruction must make this clear. 80 I said to the child who has no mother, "Men keep their respect for us when we make love after marriage because marriage enables us to take responsibility for the lovemaking.

We have earned the Joy and so we can make love openly, proudly and decisively." Time was when parents thought It sufficient to say, "Don't let him go too far making love to you--or he will lose respect for you." That not sumelent, for we cannot vide sex morality from other morality like that and expect to make any sense. Our sex instruction has to be part of all our moral instruction, so that we say, "Don't let anyone at all go. too far in persuading you to forsake what you know 1s good and responsible for you to do."
