ence.
Therefore the wise mother whii take up the attitude of "I'm here riose at hand, but only here to help you to help yourself. Often it requires n grent deal of courage and self-restraint to take such a stand. but the children will thank us for doing so later on.

Son's Confidant
My son of Aflcen used to tell me everything, but now he is very silent and goes about with lads of whom I am not sure that I approve.~Fife.
YOUR son has reached an age when
male companionship is a necessity to him, and he would be quite abnormal if he avoided the friendship of lads of his own age.
Probably the fact that you do not apprave of his going oft in this way ins made him feel awkward over the whole situation, and that would naturally tend to dry up ally easy relationship between you.
If you follow my ndvice you will make the meetings easier for him, cutting sandwiches perhaps and providing cer- tain funds for cheap train fares for himself and a couple of friends so that

Her Own Mistress
I have been offended by the altitude of my only daughter, married at Christmas. For years she never did anything without consulting me. Now she just laughs if I make suggestions about her home-ousetuife. YOUR daughter has evidently taken
up the wise stand of being "daughter in her mother's house but mistress in her own" and no one can blame her in this attitude, for it to die- tated by comman tense.
If you have trained her well in housecraft she will be putting it all to good use now, but at the same time it is for her to study the particular tastes of her husband and the cireum- stances of her own home life.
By insisting that your way is the only right way you will be losing ground with these young people, so I advise you to be more forbearing in your attitude and less given to critle Ism from now on.
