After a PTA meeting I went to the other evening, several couples were discussing how best to insure that their children have a happy home life. One of the husbands ended the discussion by saying: "You're making It all too complicated. All that children need in the way of home life are two parents who really love each other." HO'N right, iitn't he? If a man nnd woman love each other deeply, their children arc going to have a good home life.

They may not have all of the so-called "advantages," but they'll have a lot of other things. They'll have a happy home because their parents live in hamony with each other. They'll never know the Insecurity that children of quarreling, bickering parents know. They'll learn respect for both if dad thinks mom is pretty much all right and vice-versa, the children will share that liking and respect. If their parents really love each other, children acquire by example a groat many admirable traits of character.

They learn unselfishness by seeing their parents' concern for each other. They learn loyalty from the way their parents stick by each other in troubled times. They learn how to get along with others as they see their parents working out problems instead of fighting over them. Furthermore, when parents love each other, children themselves feel loved. For neither parent takes out bitterness or frustration on the children.

The next time you sec happy, well-adjusted children, you won't have to look far for the cause. Right behind them will be a mother and father who truly love each other. (All rights reserved, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.) For Ladies Only ly SAUY MRS. EVA COOK OF 704 SOUTH 22ND STREET telephoned to report that she heard a katydid in the back yard at her home last Thursday night This, I'm sure sets an all- time early record for this insect to be heard And, apparently, the stepped-up tempo of life among the human race has finally reached the world of this tiny creature. What I mean is: In the days of my long ago childhood, the sound of the katydid was a sure sign "it was six weeks until frost" And, naturally, it would be ridiculous to assume that such an unfailing signal of autumn weather could be coming our way at this early date So, without question, that is still another of the grand old legends which can be filed away In the annals of earlyday folklore.

Something else I've noticed this summer The locust which, when I was a child was never known to sound its lazy droning until September, has been heard for the past two weeks in my end of town Like the katydid, the raspy "song" it produced was a once considered reminder that summer was on the wane With summer actually a little more than barely started, it would seem that this "sign" can also be forgotten. Incidentally, the katydid for some mysterious reason simply will NOT take up dwelling In the east part of Mt. Vernon I first noted this about twelve years ago when, driving through the west end of town, every tree seemed to be filled with dozens of them carrying on the usual controversy Then, coming in along west Broadway, the sound abruptly ended in the 2000 block When I hear the annual argument over Just what katy did, I am again reminded of the tiny bedroom under the eaves of my great-aunt Busy's home in Edgewood, III. There was a huge maple tree just outside the window of that room and, when I had the great thrill of the sound of the katydid was a lullaby as I drifted off to the deep and dreamless sleep known only to a seven-year-old Remembering times, when life was less complicated, the voice of the katydid is to my ears and I regret that none dwell In the trees around my home. Why have they boycotted that I have no way of knowing But, I do know Just after I first expressed a sincere desire to have them there, a couple were brought to me and I hopefully liberated them beneath the giant tree at the back of the garage As I recall, I could scarcely wait for the next twilight to arrive and I took up my hopeful vigil on the screened back porch Not a sound was heard Obviously, they flew back to where they had been in the first place near the Mt.

Vernon city park. By the way, I received a telephone message last year in which an unknown caller said she wanted to correct me about the name of the insects She said it is frightfully "back- hill" to refer to them as "katydid" The true name Is CICADA she hastened to Inform me And, she went right on to tell me that I would find It so listed in any good dictionary. Well, right the cicada is listed there But, glory be, so is KATYDID So, apparently, one of the editors of that volume had a good ear for "back-hill" terms Which, no doubt, also makes it apparent that he, too, had once drifted off to the sweet slumber song of childhood produced by the soothing voices of the little creatures debating over and over like this: "KATYDID KATY DIDN'T." (To date, there is absolutely no record of any conversation going on among the cicadas and never mind what the dictionary says.) To be honest, I really think katydid and let me say I'm Volkert-Ward Wedding SOCIETY Dorcas MINNIOII Circle Will Meet Tonight The Dorcas Mission Circle of i the Southwest Church ol Christ will meet at 7:30 o'clock tonight at the home of Mrs. Jim Harmon, No. Two, Evergreen.

I refused our 17-year-old son permission to invite his 16-year- old girl friend along on our family vacation to the New York World's Fair.

(We live in Colorado.) There to be a now fad taking root these days. Parents are trying to "prove" to their teen-aged children that they "trust" them, so they are letting them invite their steadies on family trips. Our son claims that everybody else is doing it and now he is shame-faced because his girl has already obtained her parents' approval, and I won't let him ask her. I would like your opinion of this whole idea. NOT THAT MODERN DKAR NOT: Picnics and one- day family outingx are one thing, but family vacations are for I think your Judgment was MHind.

I family. trSS uf in September, she will begin her senior year at DEAR ABBY: A socially prominent lady in this town is forever handing out tliose "Y'awll come up and see me sometime" invitations which, of course don't mean a thing. But what about the propriety of her ringing up my husband at his office and asking if "Y'awll" will come to dinner? Our home telephone is in the book, but she has never called me. My husband says, "Oh, what's the difference?" I would appreciate it if you would please tell him (in your column) what the difference is.

He thinks I'm jealous because she's a fun- loving, middle-aged widow and not too bad looking. BATON ROUGE DKAR BATON: The "difference" a matter of etiquette. Dinner Invitatlonii are properly to the wife. Tell your husband that the next time the "Micially prominent lady" calK his office with a 'V'awll come to dinner" bivitation. he should Inform her that it "Y'awll" means both of you, she should call YOU.

DEAR ABBY: I am a young and attractive (I am told) widow. I have put away my engagement diamond and my wedding band and wear no jewelry on my hands whatsoever. It is evident that I am unmarried but for some reason every man I meet assumes that I am a divorcee. I have heard one say that one can buy a widow's band, which Is a plain black enamel ring to be worn on the wedding finger to signify widowhood. It would certainly simplify matters for me if you could tell me where can buy one of these rings.

A WIDOW DKAR WIDOW: I have never heard of "widow's" butd. Don't worry about iieing regard ed as a divorcee. You can stnlghten out the record With one well-timed sentence. DEAR ABBY: I now learn from your column that I am "uncouth" and "ill-bred." That is how you described one who carries away the bread and rolls from a restaurant table. I take home the bread and rolls for the birds, so hoar this: Boston (the city of culture, ha!) boasts that It has just poisoned and burned 10,000 city pigeons.

If this Is culture, I want to be a roughneck. San Francisco, named for St. Francis of Assissi, who loved birds. Is also destroying pigeons in droves. And now New York is following suit.

Pigeons are one of Clod's ideas. They give us pleasure with their beauty and grace In flight. And they are smart. They are able to land on a tiny telephone pole wire, whereas It takes man about 400 acres to make a landing. You sound pretty stuff- shlrted to me.

I'm an art student who does all his own framing. Mark off the measurements for the part of the mat you wish to remove. Take a metal straight edge or a ruler with a metal edge and a single ra- zar blade. Tilt the ruler so it makes a bevel (slant) to wards the designated line. Press hard and make several cuts with the blade.

The center piece will fall out. Practice produces a professional look. If the print to be framed Is smaller than the size of the glass, a drop or two of mucilage will hold It In the proper position to the back of the mat. Next, pad up the back with corrugated cardboard or your husband's cardboards until about even with the frame. Then put in the nails, brads or glazier's points to hold it.
