- - Dear Doi'otliji Dix-I am a young man 23 years old. I graduated from ,

high school with honors and was in my first year in college when I found out that I was an illegitimate child. Disgraced, humiliated and brokcn- hearted. I lost. ititerest in everything. Sacri- flccd my schooling and left for a distant city without even writing to my mother. i got .. lifl-‘illifln and have worked bard lor two Yelli- l-lave had two good promotions and am mak- ing a fairly good income. Laborlng hard at the office during the day and spending 10115 sleepless n ghts has been my daily routine. How I envy every boy and girl with a motlii. to whom they may look up, a mother honoi

able and of whom they may be proud. Three weeks ago I decided to go home and persuade Mother to come back with inc. It “'41s we latte. There was no mother to ask. A Kin , elderly neighbor handed me a small box, in which was a note which said, in part: “Darl- ing Son, 1 can't blame you for what you hihc " done. Life has been so cruel to me tliu with death. even by poison. I will find peace." To think that I ani rca l_\ the cause of her death is almost driving me nsane. l am weakening under

thc strain of the load-and have almost made myself believe that, like her, -

with death I shall find peace, X. X.

Answer:

No one can read this pathetic letter without realizing how inexorable is life and how heavy a price we have to pay for our weaknesses and our blunders. Ncr can any one read it without choking up with sympathy for this poor, heart-broken, despairing boy and long to lielp and comfort him.

However", what he needs right now is not patliy, but a brace. Something to put courage into his sou. and stle l into his backbone and make him realize that everything is not over for him; that. he is not a hopeless victim of a maligln fate; that he may yet do anything and be- conic anything that .t is in him to d0, and have many years of honor, prosperity and happiness before him.

I urge him, in the first place, to quit brooding ovcr his birth. It is folly to deity that it is a handicap, but it is not one whose weight will keep liim from winn log out in the race of life if he has the courage to do so. Read the list of famous men who were “love children." Criiey did not let their origin crush them. Tlie yrose above it. And you do that, too, it you will.

Never speak of your birth. Don't let yourself think of it. Forget it and other people will forget it, too. If you lived to be 21 without know- ing it yourself, realize how few people knew about it. All of us are of so much importance to ourselves that. we do not. appreciate of how little im- portance we ate to the outside world and how little interested they are in our affairs. You think that every one who knows you is discussing you and pointing the finger of scorn at. you and rehashing a scandal that is nearly a quarter of a century old. The truth is that not one of the peo- ple in the c.ty in which you are now living ever heard of it, and they are judging you by wliat you are and do yourself, not by an error of your mother's youth.

Don't judge your mother too harsh.y. Her sin was to love not wisely, but too well, and for that she paid with p, lifetime of repentance and suf- fering that must. have awned for the wrong she did. '

Don't blame yourself too much that you were cruel to her when you learned the wrong she had done you. she understood that your very love for her and the honor in which you had always held her made your re- vulsion of feeling merciless. And she also understood that youth, that knows so little of life and its temptations, can never be just. A5 51,9 for- Eat/Bayou. S0 Y0“ should mrgive her and put her back in her shrine in your iear .

Quit brooding over the past, son. Go out among people and take your part in the pleasures of youngsters of your own age. Work hard and make thc sort, of a man your mother wanted you to be. That will be your atone- ment to her.

Dear Miss Dix—-I am the only child of a doting mot-her. several months ago I was married and I took an apartment in my mother's house. Since we returned from our bridal tour she has not left. us alone long enough to change our clothes. She wen brings orange juice to my bed- side in the mornings, but for me alone, thus hurting the feelings of my w.fe. I do not wish to be unkind to my mother, as I love her and slie has been good to me, but she is wrecking our marriage. Some of my friends call me a jellyfish; other sadvise me to have her head examined. Will you tell me what tp do‘? H. H.

'A.nswcr:

| Any woman who does not realize that no matter how much her child-

, ren love her, iior how much they appreciate her kindness to them, nor how grateful they are to her, they do not always want, her under foot when they are married and set up their own homes certainly does need the at- tention of a psychiatrist, or something.

But there is nothing the matter with your mother's mind. She is just so obsessed by her devotion to you that. she has lost her perspective. She doesn't see you as a grown man with a. wife, but as a little baby in the cradle, who has to have his orange juice brought to him. She would da die you on her knees and rock you to sleep and never let. you take a Big Without holdinfl Y0" by the hand if you would permit it. Mothers like that—aiid there are millions of them-are among the most. pit able people in the world. because when their children marry they lose every- thing tliat makes life worth while to them.

ch-

But these possessive mothers. who are defcmuiieo never to let their children get out of their clutches, even when they marry, head the list of trouble-makers and are responsible for more broken homes and more divorces than any other one thing. The prejudiue against mothcrs-in-law is not ill-founded. The presence of one in a household is about as dan- gerous as a. stick of TNT ulnder the doorstep.

Why any woman with ordinary commonsense can't realize that, her children want to be lcf i. alone sometimes with their husbands and wives; why she can't. understand that they have things that they want to say to cach other that tlicy do not want her to hear; why she can't appreciate

|that her presence make sthem suppress the little caresses mid endear- mcnts that arc the sweetness of married life; why she doesn't suspect that. they want to talk about the things they are interested ln-cf which she knows amthing~nnd that they arc bored to extinction by her reminisc- ences of thc time John had weeping cough, and what. she said and the doctor said and the neighbors said, passes comprehension.

It is nothing but selfldmcss that makes Moi-her impose herself on her children, and thcrc is, nothing the children can do about lt unless they make her read this article. Perhaps that, will make hcr stay in her own house more and give the children a bleak. DOROTHY DIX.

One of the most popular cur- rent books in England is "F0!- bidden Journey" by Ella K. Mail- lart, the story of that great and perilous trek from Peking to Kash- , mir which she made in company , with Peter Fleming, London Times i correspondent. |

Fleming's splendid book “Newsi

from Tartary" appeared last year dill‘! it is extraordinarily interest- ig to be able now to read “Kini‘s" ncount of the same journey. Per- siiially I prefer her version. Anti ilic "difference in the books ls the difference in their attitudes to ..\e journey. Fleming's driving de- .' are was ever to push on, to accom- plish the journey—"Petei' seemed, to be less afraid of finishing up -.ii the depths of an Urumchi prison than of 3e. ig home too late to sli00t grouse in Scotland.” Kini "would have liked thc journey to cantinue for the rest of her life. I-‘lie was in the fabulous country of her dreams where “the caravan trails that were as old as the world, still wound." She takes time out for living, for thought. for assimilation. And from her one can understand the joy of the journeying. Some cf her descrip- tive phrases are siiperb—"...And at the time of year when watch dogs are no more than balls of hear-frost crystallized round a warm sleep, I spent nights in felt tents..."

After they reached India Kini travelled back to Rance by air- plane nnd in conclusion marks the astouiidipg contrast from going fif- teen miles a day to fifteen hun- dred! -— "I had so got into the habit of moving at the same rate as people did a thousand years ago, with the camels, that now I found it difficult to realize I was every day flying over new coun- tries inhabited by different races. Centuries of history! Cradles of religions! They seemed tn be hud- dled into a little space, whereas from Peking to India, Asia had. seemed endless. But though Eu- rope was so small, misunderstand- ing was more rife than ever amongst its occupants. Yet they all have fresh water and grass growing on their lands...Night was falling when the vast swarm of lights that was Paris appear- ed in the north. Suddenly I un- def-stood something. I felt now, with all the strength of my senses and intelligence. that Paris. France Europe. the White Race. were noth- ing-The something that counted in and against all paiticularisms was the magnificent scheme of things that we call the world."

Today. December 18th, marks the two hundredth anniversary of the death of Antonio Stradivari. most celebrated of the masters of the art of violin making. Born in Crcmuna in the plains of Lom- bardy, Italy. Stradlvari lived for ninety-three years and spent seven- ty of them making violins.

Cremona was the home of many famous old families cf fiddle mak- ers — the Amati, the Guarnierl, and the Stradivari families. An- tonio who had learned his craft in the workshop of Nicolo Amati had two sons who were also violin makers.

Hendrik Wlllcm Van Loon in "The Arts" gives his opinion that the climate of Crcmona, may have had something to do with the suc- ccss and establishment of the great. fiddle making dynasties in that dull little city-"The air in Cremona is both hot and dry and this allowed a man like Antonio Stradivari to do all his work in an open workshop on the top of his house. Furthermore, Cremona was situated on an old trade route from cast to west which made it easy to import the right sort of wood from the other side of the Adriatic.
