MOLE, R.N.| Visiting Nurse Association of Brooklyn Confronted by a young mother who is for the first time taking care of a child who is sertously ill, the physician may find himself in a dilemma. He is a busy man with many patients, some of them in greater need of his care than the youngster he is seeing. He knows that the mother should have detailed, explicit instructions but proper teaching would take more time than he can possibly give. Under such circumstances, he realizes that the person to call on is the Visiting Nurse.

With his written instructions, she will give whatever care and teaching he thinks are necessary. Teaching is a recognized Society By Society RUTH Editor G. DAVIS Nancy J. Ellison Engaged to Be Wed Mr. and Mrs.

Joan D. McDonough Bride of Mr. Fowler After Forty Too Young To Marry Widow, 45 By EDYTH T. McLEOD I have a letter before me which I feel projects a question that is often in the minds of my readers. It is the problem of marriage between a woman of 45 and a man of 30.

The woman writes that she is healthy, very active, widowed for three years, with two grown children and financially able to take care of herself. The man wants marriage now and he is able to provide for her. She says she thinks that they should wait for one year, corresponding regularly, while he lives in another city. She asks, "Would the difference in our ages interfere with our happiIness?" The man acts older than 30 because he has had a very hard life. He has never been married and he is of the same religious faith as hers.

She asks, "Do tell me what to do?" I think that she knows what she should do. The very fact that she sends him away for a year proves that she knows the difference In their ages will be a bar to happiness, peace and contentment. Age hesitates because of past experiences. Forty -five is young as age goes but when compared with 30, it is not. If the man has a mother complex he is not a strong man and when he a young woman who attracts him, his mother complex won't hold him at the side of his mature wife! I have known of marriages between young men and ture women which have withstood the test of age differences but I must admit that they were unusual people.

Often the mature wife had a well-upholstered bank account. So my advice is to think a long time before you marry a man younger than you areand then, don't, unless the circumstances are very unusual.

My parents think almost as much of Tom as of their own sons, but refuse to influence us in any way. They leave the marriage decision entirely to us. Should we go against his parents' wishes and get married? In any case, there will be those two years' separation which, I realize, will be far from easy; but, with a love like ours, I am sure we can reach our goal.

Her edu-ily cation and experience enable her to make her instructions clear and easy to follow. Important as teaching is, it is only one part of a nurse's work.

It is she who gives most kinds of injections, does surgical dressings and is responsible for other sorts of care and treatment which require the skills of a graduate nurse. In her teaching she does more than demonstrate, and explain what should be done. She waits until the member of the family whom she is instructing has demonstrated the ability and the assurance to give the necessary care. Even though a thing is done correctly, the nurse will conItinue to visit until she is sure that there is no serious apprehension on the part of the fammember or the patient. Because the staff is small, visiting nurses cannot stay any longer than is necessary to give and teaching.

Forty minutes is usually the maximum time they can stay, although they will not leave until they are sure that everything possible has been done for the patient's comfort and welfare. When you call a visiting nurse, you will find that she is indeed "just what the doctor ordered." If you have any questions about care of the sick at home, write to Eleanor W. Mole, Brooklyn Eagle, Brooklyn 1, N. and she will answer you, either by letter or in her column. Haworth wards.

During the last war, family service agencies, working with many mishap marriages, made this discovery: Young couples who were planning to be married anyway, and who proceeded according to plan, despite the hazards of military service, mostly made out successfully. Other youngsters, who rushed into marriages not considered, until Army duty seemed imminent, were found regretting their haste, as a rule. M. H. Mary Haworth counsels through her column, not by mail or personal interview.
