A SENSE OF GUILT ing away from home, that when they are at home, they only make absence, instead of rendering him more happy and self-sufficient. To illustrate, lavish many material luxuries on this child, and may to amuse him constantly while she is home. She may pamper him and do for him much that he could do for himself. On the contrary, she does best if she helps him to grow more self-reliant, physically "and emo- tionally, and to increase in self- children. She should wholly relax in his presence, most of the time, and increase her expression of af- and pleasure over his creations and achievements--so she can Srow in enjoyments with him, and he with her- If she can do well guilt should diminish--provided, of course, she has a competent sub- stitute in her absence from home. PLAY SCHOOL OR NURSERY Sometimes, the play school or nursery school can meet the young child's needs very well while the mother works. One mother writes of her five year-old daughter: "It is a necessity for me to work, so my little girl is attending a nursery school. She didn't like it at first, but likes it now or appears to be happy. iT 'ormed that I "I have been i am doing the wrong thing by work- ing and sending her to school. She leaves at 7 am. and my husband | tries' most days to pick her up around 3 or 4 p.m. I was wonder- ing if you could advise me, as 1 want to do the right thing for her and myself, and have no re- proaches later on." Here is my reply in part. I assume you have correctly judged that your work is a neces- sity. If it really is, the nursery school might be filling your child's needs, in case you can provide her with the highest possible qual- ity of uiderstapding, affection and | companionship - while home, and | not laboring under an undue, | vajustifiable sense of guilt.

WOMEN MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL Ywith left knee bent, sole of foot Dear Mary Haworth: My wife's so-called friends seem to thik it is a crime for me to love her, in- asmuch as she happens to stout. Recently I happened to over- hear their remarks as they started to rip her apart, after she had left the room. They didn't know that I was in an adjoining room. Here are just a few of the com- ments they were tossing about: "Fred is too handsome a man to be faithul to her! His business trips are probably leasure trips, if you know what mean . . . I suppose it is less ex- pensive to marry a good cook an ousekeeper than to hire one . . ." Miss Haworth, I saw red. anted to tell them all off and kick them out. I still can't figure how I controlled the impulse. I could write a book about all the wonderful things my wife has done and is doing, not only for me but for many people in the neighborhood. We have been married 14 years When I am away on a trip I can't finish my business fast enough to get home to my wonderful wife and our children. Thank you for letting me blow off some steam. STALE MALICE Dear F. R.: What you overheard was the "catting'" of certain un- happy women, stewing in the Juices of their own malice, who ealously envy or resent your wife's happiness. Not that she is the only target of their hostility, of course. Such women are vent- ing spice habitually, as a reflex social gesture--usualy selecting the nicest people as the objects of their scorn. If you could identify the woman who led off the carping about your wife, who began to claw as she left the room, you would be- hold a woman who is a stranger to love. Her disposition is scoured for lack of profound affection in her experience 1 is axiomatic that you canno. give what you 1 | ities are admirable; Wite's Friends Outrage Husband With Their Malicious Hints haven't got, and as she is unable to love, or to rejoice in the weal of another person, we may assume be |that she was disinherited in res- pect to love, in her early condition- ing. Others in the group were equaly improverished, psychologically as they, proved in swe the chorus of ill will--an outcry plainly motiv- ated by baffled envy of Carol's good furtune in sharing a great and growing love with an attract- ive intelligent husband. FALSE VALUES Evidently the ladies know, as you do, that Carol's essential qual- that she is magnetic, competent, benevolent, etc.--for, significantly, they blith- ely ignore her character and per- sonality in disparaging her. From this I gather that even to their jaundiced eyes, she is unassailable in womanly ways. But as a clothes horse, well, that is another matter --depending upon the point of view. From the viewpoint of Carol's detractors, a woman should be thin to interest men; thus probably they concentrate on leanness as their stock in trade. Which may explain their arid natures, their failure to develop inner richness-- a breadth and depth of sympathet- ic awareness of the real abid needs of men and children. An this failure in turn accounts for their disappointed lives--a frustra- tion that manifests itself in cyni- cal devaluation of Carol's success, which is related to her hearty self-forgetfulness, In containing vour impulse to kick the commentators out, you showed great powers of self con- trol--a civilized fellow, it seems So congratulations to you and Carol, on finding helpmates worthy of each other. --M.

KEEP IN TRIM By IDA JEAN KAIN The difference between a sha ely figure and the other kind not ways a matter of added poundage. Not infrequently the inches. Crowding 40, we begin to get soft around the edges. Alas, with soft living, these bracin front muscles become flabby an lax . . . then gravity wins. And the muscles bounding the sides of the waist bulk out instead of cinching in the middle measure- ment. Figures tend to spread when the big muscles of the body are not used as nature intended them to be. It's true that the way we live makes muscular activity more or less unnecessary, but the fact re- mains that the need for keeping tone in the important muscles has not changed. Most of us would be in better shape all the way around for a little conditioning exercise. That's why calisthenics were originated: But don't get the not- ion that only a strenuous workout is effective. Strenuous exercises are out for softies, and that in- cludes anyone who hasn't been exercising regularly. Here is a starting exercise rou- tine to restore bracing tone to the important middle muscles. Tone in these muscles is important to keep- ing fit, as well as shapely. Ease into exercise with this simple stretch . . . Position: Lie on back on floor flat on floor, right leg straight down. Left arm should be down at side, right arm stretched back on floor overhead.
