Judge Barron, - named the American Mother of the Year for 1959 by the American Mothers Committee, Inc., handed down her decision several years ago in Boston Municipal Court. The defend ant was appearing before her on a charge of beating his wife because supper was late. With six small children to care for, the wife had a good excuse, the Judge said in an interview. So she orderedso- cial workers to help find a baby-sitter one night a week to give the parents some time to themselves ayay from home. Decisions like this have earned Judge Barrji the nick name of "the judge with a heart." Her appearance re flects the title. She is a short, plump, motherly-looking person with a warm smile and a forthright manner. , Her old r fashioned pince nez glasses and simple coiffure (graying dark hair brushed back into a French knot) temper warmth with the dignity , "befitting the first woman appointee to the Mas sachusetts Superior Court. She was given the post in Febru ary after 22 years on the Mu nicipal Court bench. Has Simple Meals But she never has let her career interfere with her fam ily life, which revolves around her husband, Samuel, a law yer and bankerp their three daughters and six grandchil dren. - Her professional work and civic activities don't leave much time for cooking, she said, but she has no regrets. "I don't consider myself a candidate for a cooking prize," she laughed. "My daughters are much more ef ficient than I, and they're bet ter cooks, too. They help me supervise preparations for dinner parties"; Festive dinners are fre quent in the Barron home in Brookline, Mass. Friday night, the Jewish sabbath, is family night, with the dinner table seldom seating fewer than 12 to 16 persons. Besides the par ents, two daughters (the third died in 1956), the sons-in-law and grandchildren, two guests usually are added-often stu dents who are far from home and family. !; The . fare is good but not fancy. The judge holds no brief for women who make a big project of cooking, and whp neglect family relation ships to produce elaborate meals. "Learn to delegate jobs," she advised working wives. "It's better to have someone to help." But what of women whose budgets don't permit a cook or maid? : Husband Should Help "Then the hujband should pitch in. He must realize that his wife also got through a working day at 5 o'clock," she said. Even so, they shouldn't eat dinner at home every night, added the jurist, whose own career has made her more a Gardeners Plan Business Session Central Point-Mrs. M. H.

The Professor across the street is a perfect example. We've been his neighbor for 10 years, and yet each time we talk to him, we find something new about him, such as that as a boy he went around the world on a tramp steamer. Or that he was I Phnrloe K4ir.lar fir thnt he's been mountain climbing in the' Alps. Last evening he and Father visited on the patio until the air had cooled down. When Father came in, he asked if I knew Pro fessor Jameson had written a volume of poetry which I didn't. And again we remarked that beins with him is uke read ing a book that's never finished. There's always something new and excijng on the next page. And so it would be wise for us, too, to let others see our lives slowlv only a. particle at a time, like sand slipping through an hour glass. The temptationjs great sometimes, it s true, to teu our all and aU to new acquam lances and friends. But the tal ent is to give ever so delicately about oneself.
