EIGHTEEN POUGHKEEPSIE NEW YORKER FRIDAY, MAY 13, 01949 Dorothy Dis Letter Box DEAR MISS DIX: In this ness about mothers tying their children to their apron strings just fantasy of the Devil so that he can play with people and watch them hurt each other? Will the children of a mother who binds them to her, hand and foot, ever grow up mentally and be able to think for themselves? Will the children of these possessive mothers ever have any initintive and able to look out for themselves When their mothers die? MOTHER ANSWER: Just how far the Devil responsible for the weak and dabby men and women who never STOW up, or have any minds of their own, is only his Satanic Majesty knows. It enay, however, to spot them. They are the leaners and the quittern and the faltures and the comards who never have the courage to face life, The greatest misfortune that can happen to any human being to have a perpetual babyhood wished upon it by a doting Yet, strangely enough, thousands of otherwise intelligent women spend their lives trying to bring down this curse on their children's heads. They boast that their children are obedient that they never think of making a move without asking Mama's permission. They amirk with colf-satisfaction when they tell that their adolescent sons and daughtors have no friends but Mother and never go anywhere without her, and that they wouldn't dream of picking out a dress or hat themselves, or of choosing a girl or boy friend on their own initiative.

Become Milquelonsta The result is that the children who are reared on the slogan 'Mothknows grow up to be Milquetoasts who are always running home to Mother for advice instead of solving their own problems: who defer to Mother instead of their husbands: who let their mothers make their marriages and break them: and never get enough strength to stand on their own feet. No women in the world do greater harm than the mothers who refuse to let their children grow up. Many a gifted boy and girl have had their talents smothered to death because Mother wouldn't untie her apron strings and let them go to their destiny. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am 15 years of age and have never gone on a date or worn any lipstick, but still don't think am hard to look at. But here's my trouble: When Tam with boy I don't know what to talk about and I don't want to to through life just being dumb.

What should 1 SORROWFUL ANSWER: Well, daughter, the main thing about being entertaining, conversationalist to let the party of the other part do most of the talking. Don't think you've got to babble lice the brook that went on and on forever. Just get your boy friend to telling about the cute things his doc does or some book tie in reading, and nit that you have to do in just to sit up and look da if you were hanging on his words. But, as a starter, begin by asking the boy personal questiona: Where has he been? What does he like to do? What college la he going to? Anything that will be tongueloosener. It will seem to you like vulgar curiosity, but it isn't.

10. Just a lite-preserver. Nearly all boys like to talk about themselves. And if you are a good listener, you will never lack for an audience. Nobody is ever bored as long you sing his praises.

So learn how to throw in plenty of "how wonder ful," did you really do that?" "how marvelous." and so on. Learning how to talk easy, It la knowing when to stop that makes girl popular. DOROTHY DIX cannot reply personally to renders, but will answer problems of general interest through her column. (Released by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
