Mrs, N. Thornton, president, presided. Miss Etta Starkey led devotions, Following the meeting', refreshments were served by the hostesses, By SIRS MURIEL LAWRENCE Though 'I've never been a demonstrative person," writes Mrs. "I can hug and kiss our little boy. But not his older sister.

My husband says that my coldness to her is making her very that even ir I don't want to, I should force myself to hug and kiss her. When he talks like this, it makes nervous I would.not like it, either. So let's get rid of guilt that makes Mr. accusation frightening. As a small child, did Mrs.

N. live with a very "demonstrative" adult? We've all known such people. They find other people's weaknesses irressistibly appealing.) So, if a small child makes a mistake by mispronouncing 'a word, for example, they can't keep their hands off him. They will pounce on without the slightest interest in his response, lavish caresses on him. Indeed, if' he wriggles resentfully in the embrace he'feels is assault, they simply clutch him If was "so victimized, shy with displays of affection toward her older And of, which her husband complains is.

not coldness at all. On the contrary, it probably indicates a desire for affection restrained by a most understandable fear of losing it to the kind of "demonstrativeness" that aroused her resentment. Outraged herself by overeffu- sive, domineering caresses as a child," Mrs. N. possibly lavish them freely on youngster, whose love she wants.

Thus, the. "coldness" is regarded as evidence of unnatural maternal feeling may be, Mrs. the most natural, and good effort, to but to protect her "child against the resentment she hugs and kisses. Isn't Odd Nor is it'a'bit queer that she should be more relaxed with her second child. It's again quite natural for mothers to be surer of themselves with the second child.

But Mrs. conviction that she's a bad mother has turned this natural development into another cause for worry over herself, So the problem is not Mrs. feelings but her suspicious distrust of them. Mr. N.

can't help her overcome self-accusation by trying to force displays of affection from her. I don't wonder such demand makes her "nervous." The chances are, it echoes the very demand of her childhood that has made genuine expression of feeling so hard for her.

To wake up in the morning with the sun shining and the birds sing, ing and with the certainty that it is going to bo a good day. To finally get together with an old friend you haven't seen In years and find that you can pick up right where you left off the last time you were together, with no awkwardness and no difficulty in bridging the years between meetings. To receive a gift that is so exactly "right" you know the giver must, have given a great deal of thought to choosing consequently enjoyed the giving as much as you enjoyed the getting.
