TIPS FOR A MOTHER-IN-LAW
(By Dorbt:ny Dix)
Being a mother-in-law is the hard-
est job on earth next to • being a
daughter-in-law, but here are a few
efficiency tips that wiU help her make
a success of it.
First -Don't be a another -in-law at
all. Be a real mother to your in-laws.
Open your arms to the young man or
v*oznan who comes into your, 'family
and take them to your heart instead of
giving them the cold shoulder. Maize
thein feel that they are welcome in-
stead of afflictions that are sent on
3 otrby some malign fate.
Second -Don't go to live with your
children unless the only alternative is
to go to the poorhouse. Don't go to
live with them because they feel it is
their duty to ask you. No young
couple wants a third party in their
new home. They want to be by them-
selves, and that it natural and right
It is what you wanted yourself when
you were a bride, so don't begrudge
it to your in-laws;'
Third—If circumstances compel' you
to live with your in-laws; make it as
easy for them as you can.Don't give
thein overdoses of your society.. Don't
be aivays under foot If you have
the money, take long trips. Make
visits, If you are poor you can at
least stay in your own room part of
the time and give your children and
their husbands or wives a chance to
have a little privateconversation with-
out you listening in.
Fourth ---Don't pick on your fn -laws.
The favourite indoor sport of a lof of
mothers iii=law consists In vivisecting
the poor, frail, faulty human beings
their sons and daughters have mar-
ried and pointing out their weakness
to their wives and husbands. Inas-
much as your children are married, Rouge should be placed high on the
try to make them satisfied with the
'bargains they have made- instead of
fostering discontent in them. Try
to "sell" them their wives and .hus-
bands by praising their good qualities
and keeping mum about their bad.
ones.
bungle alae; game, I know's hard
to stand by :and watch the ignorant
make mistakes that you could save
them from, I lcnoiv that you feel
you have a right to a. certain say-so
in your children's homes. Beit the
one sure wayto tnal:e yourself hated
is to be a buttinsky.
Sixth --Be just to your in-laws, Do
not expect, your sou -in-law to be a
better husband than your son is, or
think it right for your daughtez' to
to be the sort of wife that would en-
title your son to a divorce if he had
the ill -luck to :get her, Don't up-
hold your son for being a rounder
who, neglects his wife. Don't think
that your daughter-in-law should wear°
hand-rne-downs and save all her : mon-
ey and.that your own daughter should
wear Paris hats and spend money as
if it grew on trees.. Play fair with
them and try to look at the in-laws
side of everything as fairly as you
do your own child's.
Seventh—Abdicate thethrone when
your children get married. Don't try
to be first with them any more. Don't
get jealous when they love their hus-
bands
us bands or wives more •than they do
you because that means their happi-
ness and, that they are really mated.
There are a million other tips that
I might give you how to play the
mother-in-law game, but if you will•
follow these you .will win out.

blown into strips and carried over the.
