It is. difficult enough to train a child who has been spoiled. "How, Anne Hirst," cries. a 'reader, "do you handle a spoiled wife and mother? She is 'middle-aged, yet acts worse than her young grand- children! i "She has no consideration for others, She goes her way with- out telling any- one of her plans, This is especially bad, since she lives several miles from town : and has to de- pend on her husband or son to take her back and forth, Many a time they've waited for hours on end for her return. "And it's never her fault! She throws tantrums, and twists facts around to make the other fellow the offender. She never apologizes for 'losing her temper, and she makes an exhibition of herself in her children's homes in front of their youngsters. Even those youngsters are disgust.d with her, "Her husband is on a diet. She fixes, big, tempting dinners for everybody else which he can't eat, then flounces "off and tikes half an hour to fix his food. In all their 30-0dd years of marriage he has never complained, : "She rules the roost. If anyone * crosses her, she is very hurt and 'picked on'. _ J "Her husband should be retired. Mother Love Several years ago, during a pro- fonged drought in Australia, the wild creatures of the bush became so thirsty that they braved even the dangerotis dooryards of settlers for whose cattle and sheep died like flies for lack of water, were constantly on the lookout lest these wild erea- tures drink what little water was left. Each man hung a' loaded 'gun near the doorway to be used at a moment's notice. : Such a call came one hot sum- mer's day. Instantly the settler seized his gun and stood ready. Out of the bush a mother kanga- roo, with a young one in her pouch, eame loping across the brown, pow- _ dery- open space surrounding the house. Nearer and nearer she cams, her beautiful brown eyes fixed be- seechingly on the settler. She made her way straight to the tub of water placed there for the use of the few domestic animals that had survived, Still the settler did not 'shoot. dept - The water reached, she waited, her soft gaze still fixed on the maa, while the young kangaroo in her pounch drank its fill. Then she turn- ed, without taking a drop for her- self, and loped back across the parched open space and on into the tangled depths of the bush. The settlér watched her until she dis- appeared, Then he hyng up his gun | and, with a choking in his throat, went back to work, : NE HIRST amily Counselot a-drink of "water.

"This particular situation is get- ting so bad that something has to be done. None of us can take much more, Especially her husband." "Undoubtedly she is only one of many middle-aged women who act this way. If you print this, she may read it and tdke stock of herself, "I car easily see why the Indians pushed their old women off a cliff.
