NIZ WE, THE WOMEN By Ruth Millett NEA Stair Writer Some Neglect Helps Make Grown Child Prouder of You The woman who wants her grownchildren to be proud of her ought to neglect 'em a little. Any older woman who doesn't believe that should listen to the conversation of young married women. When they start to brag about their parents, the young women who are the most admiring of their mothers are the ones whose mothers are so busy lending their own lives they don't have much time for their children. The doting mothers and grandmothers, children who live and for, and grandchildren, through, who are always at their beck and call, and who can't do enough for them, don't come in for a lot of praise. Their grown children take them for granted.

"Mother is going to keep the chil- dren while we take our vacation. They'll probably thine be completely. spoiled by the we get back, of course." young woman will say complacently.

Guard will be hos- THE SECRET OF A BRIGHTER, CLEANER WASH But when a deughter talks about A mother who hasn't time to be an unpaid baby-sitter, who is enjoying life 021 her own, there's all the difference in the world. tell about all her mother's activities. her busy life, with real her voice and real admiration for her not as a "grandma" but as A woman. There's a reason, of course, why grown daughters take more pride in self-sufficient parents than in parents who tend to live through their children and grandchildren.

The self-sufficient ones aren't A burden to their children. The ones who give the most, once their children are grown, are actually the ones who are the most dependent, whose children always feel sible for their happiness. So a good rule for mothers would be: Make your children your main interest in life when they are children. But start neglecting them little when they are grown. Send your clothes to the Blytheville Laundry and they'll come back to you cleaner, brighter than ever before.

But that's not all. Your clothes will last longer because they're treated carefully, gently an important consideration today when it's so expensive to replace them. Next time call Blytheville Laundry and you'll discover what we mean by really "good laundry service."
