FAIRLY SPOKEN By Margaret Latrobe Duplicate Gifts Daze Many Newlyweds The about-to-be-married couple stood apart from friends admiring the wedding presents Needing no words to express what they felt, they stood arm in arm gazing now.at each other and then at the gift laden table. 'The beautiful young girl turned her violet, deep lashed eyes toward the handsome chap beside her. Hei ruby lips parted slightly and he stooped to catch hei whispered words "What in heaven's name is THAT?" And with an involun tary shudder they both gazed upon the one 'wedding presen nobody could identify. Made of glass it was, but unlike any glass seen before About the shape of a decanter it was, but-without ability decant. About the color of a rainbow it was, but certainly min us a pot of gold which would have helped the kids a lot.

Despite the array of ostentatious presents, the bridal cou pie was doubtful about having enough to live on the next two or three years. He still had two years of school and a stint in the Army she would Work tiny apartment and mos if not all wedding presents would stay packed in unti their children yet unborn entered grammar school. June brides already settled in vine-covered cottages need whisper no more. "Ye gods," chirps one new matron as hubby barks his shins uncrating wedding gifts, chafing dish?" Bringing the total to How does one choose the right present for this happies of all. occasions? The gift so unique as to defy duplication so useful as to bring years of blessings from a grateful bride? How does one find that perfect present which is smallei than a bread box, larger than a radish, fitting handily into both the modest early home and later the three-bedroom two-bath "ranch Colonial" we all aspire to? With what delicacy can one ascertain whether the chafing dish is The Thing, or completing an inventory of a round dozer Welsh rabbit warmers? With what finesse can one learn in time that tea caddy, door stop or muffineer is exactly what the bride would cherish or that 50 other friends haven't arrivec at the same.idea? We want our' present to be remembered, to be different to show thoughtful selection.

For example: "DEAR MISS VANDERBILT: Your column was very much appreciated and perused with utmost, interest. too, in a community where children cause nothing but trouble, such as wrecking plants and trees, swinging on washlines and breaking them, soiling freshly laundered clothes with sticks dipped in mud, or dirt, scattering refuse all over the street, throwing stones, smashing bottles, shooting arrows through open windows, running up and down fire escapes and private stairs, hammering on apartment doors to name only a few of their so-called antics.

"If said children are told to go home, their language is enough to make an old trouper blush. It appears that these young vandals are not allowed to wreck things in their own homes or yards. "Whom can we blame the most? Certainly not the children! Perhaps our increasing crime can be traced to such backyard barbarism. Mrs. S.

Harrisburg, Pa." In every community there are always a few children, probably emotionally troubled, who are destructive and defiant. When they "can't get away with it at home," they take it out on' the neighbors. Such children love to 'create an "enemy," and the property- holders who become greatly upset over certain children's running across their lawns, find that they are soon a target for all kinds of annoyances by the wilder element among the neighborhood children. Before complaining to the child's family about such conduct or in dire circumstances, the police it is well, if possible, to try to make a friend of the child or children. This is not best done by pleading or recriminations.

It is often done by a firm and simple statement of fact. For example, "Boys, it look mo all morning to wash these sheets. Now you have dirtied them and they will have to be washed all over again. I could go to your mothers about this, but I don't want to. I think if you understand from me the in 1 convenience and extra work you have caused me, you won't let this happen again.

"I don't see wny we can't settle this between ourselves without my getting you in trouble with your parents." A friendly gesture to a difficult child on the part of a property-holder who has suffered abuses from him may turn him into a friend who will prevent the gang from inflicting any further harm. Various community projects the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Campfire Girls and the can help to drain off these aggressions in children so that they are not taken out on the community. Be sure that your community projects of this kind are well- supported, not only financially but through your own participation as a leader in the various categories. Where real malicious mischief persists among a few children, it is often more effective to enlist the assistance of the school, rather than of the parents, who may be too involved emotionally to deal well with the problem. Many schools now have child psychologists to assist with such difficulties, for they can make psychiatric aid available to seriously troubled youngsters who are causing community problems.
