IS MRS. CUPID HELPING OUT- THIS YEAR? . V r Do We Plan Too Much For Children ? Mothers Declared to Give Too Much Thought to Future of Their Offspring. I HAVE a charming friend, the mother of four children, all of whom are bright and intelligent. But I nm wntrhlna with finma misgiving one point in their upbring ing. My friend has deliberately ant? tho youngest girl is but eight-laid out the future of each child. Graham is to follow in his father's profession as a matter of course, tho second boy is to be an architect, Hilda Is to be a social service workor, and Tina the musician of tho family. To this end, their education is being bent. It may turn out all right. But suppose the perfectly normal thing that Graham finds tho law uninteresting, and forestry the most absorbing thing in the world? Ono of two things is bound to hap pen; either ho will hesitate to disap point his parents who have spent money and energy on his law educa tion and tho preparation for it, and become a second rote member of tho bar. or ho will risk the disappoint ment of those who love him best and forge for himself a career without their Interest and support, perhaps with the reproaches of his mother ringing In his ears.

Bj WillNies 7rrafr"V -. jk . ,-fr tBurnM? . am By LAURA CLAWSON. dren Is a burning question In the world where subjocts of that nature are being discussed. Many well known authorities contend that very early in tho mental life of a child tho signs appear by which tho train ed teacher can deddo what his real work in tho world Is to be. I should be the first one to decry such a statement or belittle such oltort. There are too many round pegs in square holes already. But tho point about my friend's attitude Is that It Isn't scientific in tho leact. Her decisions aro arbi trary. There has r.lways been a law yer In her husband's family, a musician In hers; ergo, her chil dren are to contlnuo tho line, whether their talents point that way or not. I think it is perfectly possible that even aa early as seven. In a normal child, a mother can observe a de cided bent, a talent, perhaps Inherit ed, which mako her hopes and dreams for her child very sweet and beautiful things. But dreams have a most discon certing way of being dispelled as tho chlldron grow out of short frocks and knickerbockers; tho companion ship at school, the influence of an other mature mind, tho hero wor ship which Is a part of the Hfo every boy or girl In their tctns for somo one outside their lmmedlato family clrclo, all may combine to shaping their Uvea. Bo let us be patient, do our day dreaming If wo must, but bo prac tical onough to face disappointment If It comes. For this much wo oo our chil dren; the best start In life wo can give them, our ready sympathy In their own strivings to find them selves. And ono of tho saddest things which can happen to a mother Is tho realization that these shy confidences aro being given to a teacher or an older friend, because "mother doesn't understand." Let us talk frankly of the future. No matter what tho financial status or the family. I am an ardent advo cato of vocational training for every member of it. Changes in America ore so sudden, that wo owe It to tho children, girls as well as boys, that they go from their homes porfeotly equipped to earn their livelihood. Time wag when a young woman left penniless had no refuge but In tho home of the next of kin. If aho wore able she taught tho young chil dren of the particular kinsfolk who had given her food and shelter, was household drudge generally. But that doy Is post, and the professions which aro open to women today are many and Interesting. So lot us plan for our children, Cakes, pies, pastry the very names tempt the ap petite. And when they are shortened with Cot tolene the natural flavor and healthful goodness become even more tempting. Cottolene blends so perfectly with the flour and other ingredients that the results are most gratifying. Use Cottolene for all your frying shortening and cake-making. Vpur grocer will supply you regularly. It is packed in pall, of various sixes for your convenience. 2HEEK-FAI R B AN K&SESO iiiaiffiiiiMiipiiiiiiiiiiiiiii rather not for them with WITH them. But let us not set our hearts too firmly on one particular profession, only to be disappointed by the real ization that when tho child's Indi viduality asserts itself our labors shall havo been In vain.
