The ideal mother is a Jtiyth, Dr. Gardner Murphy, psychologist of the Menninger Foundation, Topeka, has assured the Family Service Association of America here. A mother may be all the things expected of her and still not meet the individual needs of her own child. These are some of the things expected of the "ideal" mother: She must be warm, strong, rect; she 'must enjoy her femininity and her motherhood; she must give affection and support; she must protect her children; she must be firm but not overbearing, tender hut not mawkish; and she must be a stimulus and support to the child's growth and his ultimate achievement of independence.

Research in Topeka on the problems of children who, are growing up revealed that this long list does.not take into account the individual differences of children. The researchers found an affectionate, tender mother whose little'boy was a young roughneck. He did not want to he treated tenderly hut was eager to bounce and jounce and from his first months had "a puppy- like neefl for energetic activity." In another case, the mother, a strong, vigorous person had a little son who had a need for sensitivity and tenderness which she was unable to fill. Another child demanded a storytime hour which was boring to his active mother. "Like all human relationships, the family relationships are intensely individualized," Dr, Murphy said.

Striking Happy Medium Can Be Challenging By RUTH MILLETT It isn't easy for a woman to hit a happy medium between- Being so helpless she is a drag on her husband and being so self-sufficient he has a sneaking notion that she could get along very well without him. Being so sure that "mother knows best" that her children have a disciplinarian instead of a mother and being so unsure of herself that she is afraid to put her foot down when she ought to. Being so absorbed in outside activities that her family gets short-changed and being such a stay-at-home that she contributes nothing to her community. Leading such a gay social life that there isn't much time for home life and doing so little socially that she grows dull and timid. Building her husband up until he has such an inflated opinion of himself that he's a bore and making him so conscious of his shortcomings that he loses confidence in himself.

Spending so much time and money on her looks that she is nothing but a clothes horse and going around looking like Mrs. Beatnik. Being such a spit and polish housekeeper that members of her family aren't comfortable in their own home and letting things slide to where her house is not tidy enough to seem cheerful. Being such a talker that she is a bore and being so shy and retiring that she is dull company. No woman ever hits a happy medium in every department of her life.

The best she can do is to keep trying not to lean dangerously close to either one extreme or the other, A Perfume F1 aeon Is Necessary to Add Fresh Touches Beauty Editor The easiest way to carry the scenl of springtime around with you is via a perfume flacon in your purse. While any good perfume will last about four hours, you need fresh touches from time to time. These touches should be applied with discretion and without waste. You don't want to overpower people with your perfume and you don't want to waste it in the way you use it. The best way to avoid both is to apply directly to the pulse inner arm fit the bend of the elbow, the base ot the throat.

But definitely, it shouldn't RO behind Die ears! When you place perfume there, you're simply dabbing it on bone and this does nothing at all to spread a lovely, floating fragrance about you Be sure that the scent in your perfume flask matches that which you've used when you started out in the morning. (Oh, yes, perfume is properly used in the morning.) Mixing your seen Is only makes for unlovely confusion.
