Provision For Home Entertaining Important To Youth I

DEAR MISS DIX: My mother will not let inc have any parties at home where boys are present. The reason of thi: i: at one time I nad a little gathering and she came in and some of the boys and girl: were holding hands and others dancing and she said she would not have such goings on in her house. My friends are nice girls and boys and behave themselves properly and I am 20 years old and able to take care of myself. Don't you think my mother i: wrong? OSE

. _ R

ANSWER: I certainly do. Any mother who does not let her daughter receive her company at home l! simply forcing her out on the street for companionship and depriving her of the protection that a home back- ground gives her.

‘ I‘ I should think that any woman who had a 8H1" 0f intelligence in her head would realise thi:, and that she would be so glad that her daughter was bringing her friends home with her. in- stead of running around to roadhouses and Heaven knows where, that she would welcome them with open arms and not be too critical of their holding hands, or even of their petting a little. For she ma)’ be V911)’ sure of one thing, and that is, there is no better chaperon than a girls own house, and that there won't be so much hand-holding 8nd drinking and kissing there as there would be in parked automobiles or n18"! clubs or places where parties are likely to get rough.

A lot of things that the younger generation do and see no harm In doing are shocking to their parents brought up in a stricter tradition. But it gets fathers and mothers nowhere to forbid their children to do these things and to shut their doors on their children's friends, be- cause the youngsters are going to do as the others of their set do and they are going to have their friends secretly if they cant have them openly. All that the parent: achieve by their sternness is just to alien- ate their children from them and keep their children from confidlnz in them, and this prevents them from having any influence over the youngsters and perhaps being able to steer them in the right direction in some time of need.

If a girl is not permitted to bring her boy friend: to the house, her parents cannot know with whom she is assoclatlnS. 11°F Whether UWY are fit companions for her or not. Mother and father may think that they are keeping her away from boys, but instead they are simply 1911a‘ ing her to pick up boys on the street and at the corner drug tore an exposing her to all the dangers of blind dates and making her he more boy crazy because boys are forbidden to her.

But if a girl can have all the boys she wants and all the parties she wants at home and mother makes things happy ‘for her, she l: willing to listen to mother's rating of them because she knows that mother isnt

It has becndntercsting to watch the progress of the dental profes- sion in their endeavor to have equal noncling with the medical fessiou in the armed forces. Today .it is admitted that duo to the excellent work dons by our dentists in World Wars I and II, governments are making-the stan- dard of physicians uid dentists as of equal rank.

Ono of the reasons the dental profession is standing high is the amount of research work being done by dentists in nutrition. In- stead of merely removing teeth or filling teeth, they are able .to toll their patients about the food: that will build ltrong tooth. By pro- venting decsy and building strong teeth the armed forcesasalsocivll- inns, are enabled to do their daily work without loss of time from infection and pain. It was Osler who stated that more sickness bc- gst in the mouth than elsewhere in the body.

At Victoria, "The Village by the Sea", stands the 2nd oldest light- hours to be seen in the Garden of the Gulf. Victoria is also the home of a most remarkable perlon, Mr: K, C. Holm who, despite her eighty odd years, still looks and acts like a woman who had just stepped across the threshold of middle life.

Like the old lighthouse, Madam Holm has often looked out over the harbor when the white horles of Neptune galioped over the deep. And she has beheld those same wa- ter: when they shlmmered calm and majestic beneath the summer skies.

The faculty of being able to ree the beauty in every living thing i: an attribute of this kindly, lovable lady. Maybe this optimistic out- look on life has helped to keep her young, helped her win battles and achieve worthwhile things in the game of life.

I said that Mrs. Holm was a re- markable woman. I believe you must agree wlih this statement after you have finished reading this article. L

O O O

At this time of year her home is alive with ylsitors. The young, the middle aged and older folk, all come together under her hospitable roof. Some are guests of hers and some are old friends and some are children who drop in to chat with Victoria's grand old‘ citizen. They come because she likes to have folks call; and they, ln turn, like Madam Holm. Children, as well as grown- "DB. love to see her at work in her vegetable garden or perhaps plunk- lng some favorite flowers from ner lovely flower beds. Too, they ‘lke to watch her play croquette with some of her guests or friends.

You may lift nn eyebrow, dear reader, but truth is stranger than fiction. Madame Holm still plays H 800d game and enjoys doing it. Being somewhat of an artist in her youth, K. C. likes plenty of pictures around her home, though she is not apt to tell you which ones were wrought by her own hands. But a good guesser could hick out a number of them.

There are more , than pictures, however, to occupy one's mind once you are inside of her house, There are, for instance, rugs, qumg, (\f9- chetted baby clothes, fancy work and what have you-a fine assort- ment, each plece done by herself. She also possesses a number of real antiques that link up the past with the present and sets one pondering as to when and where she came by all these things.

Here, in truth, is a woman of many hobbies. bles she likes best to knit. Cer- tainly, if you could see her fancy socks, sweaters, etc.; you'd be as- tonished as others have, to know where she finds the time to do so many things and do them all so well.

When Mrs. Holm wants a new pattern for her needles, she just Hoe: to work and creates her own. Nothing in the way of needle work confounds her. Nor is their nny new stitch that she can't pick up after a moment's.study.

\ O O

Thole who have had the ad- vantage of visiting with Mrs. Holm in her cosy home will tell you how much pleasure they got of it. They will also tell you that her handi- crafts, gardens, etc., are excellent. and that they _"would not have missed any part of anything."

Here in truth is a hostess par ex- cellence. Despite her years. she has the gift of making people feel com- fortable and that "at home atti- tude". Company never seems to tire Madam Holm: age never seems to leave its mark upon her; and ner patience in explaining her many hobbies and making other folks happy is almost limitless.

To Victoria's K. C. Holm living is a real enjoyment, pnd, like the old lighthouse, she stands ready to shed a warning and a warming light across the waters of life.
