They have mot judgment enough to discrim- inate in different cases, and s0 to protect them you must warn them against the hazard entirely, as you would keep a child from falling out of b the window by tell- ing it to stay in the middle of the ‘ \[ room.

For this reason the welfare societies for young girls, the Travellers' Ald so- clety and every mother who 18 wise to the dark ways of the world, impress on the minds of the girls the danger of mak- | ing chance acquaintance when they are travelling with’ any woman, no matter how much like a mother she appears. | Hence, when a benevolent old lady speaks to a young girl she is apt to be severely snubbed, and should she artlessly offer rush to her rescue, because she has been | told that that s a favorite trick | Now, obviously, most of the garrulous old ladies who are travelling about, and | who would like to fall into conversation old women, apparently the very essence | with the girls they meet, and who re- of respectability, who travel about on | minds them of their own granddaughters, bosts and trains for the sole purpose of | are guileless and harmless as babes.

This point of view is emphasized by the experience of a young woman of my acquaintance, a woman of 33 and a level- headed business woman, who spent a recent Sunduy afternoon in the park. A middie-aged man occupled the other end of the bench on which she sat, and after | & while made some casual remark about the passing throng. BShe answered in the same spirit, and they drifted into a most interesting conversation that they both enjoyed and they parted without | the man making the slightest lllempl; to find out who the young woman was. | It was all as innocent and friendly| and impersonal as two ships that hail each other as they pass at sea, but the | young woman's family gave her a ter- rific scolding when they heard of it, and considered that she had committed a| Krave indiscretion, . | This is utter nonsense.

How charming are the love and tenderness expressed in the mother's face as she watches her little girl toddling about the room when she first be- gins to walk! How sweet is her sympathy for every childish trouble. Then how nterested and anx- fous she is that her daughter should enjoy the best ad- vantages possible, and how proud &l becomes when young girl receives credit marks at school. But as this child develops into wo- menhood how rarely does the mother keep the same close sympathy, the same tender understanding, the same sweet patience, in the association with her. When a woman falls to win the firet place in her daughter's heart as triend, counsellor and sympathizer, it is no one's fault but her own. I make this asser- tion without reservation or exception. Of course, there will be a clamor of protest from ‘“devoted mothers,’ but I know what the average idea of devotion on a mother's part s, and 1 call it by other | names. To make a slave of yourself for your child, to try to save your daughter from menial labor, to try to dress her better than other girls and to tax your strength and purse In order to give her luxuries, It s unwise ambition nd folly on your part. It is sowing the eeds of selfishness and indolence in & receptive young mind, that has come into being through no wish of its own. Having brought the girl into the world, it is your duty to study her as you would some plant were you a horticulturs ist, and to be patient, loving and gentle with her faults and sympathetic with her requirements. It s your life work to make a noble and worthy woman of her and to lead her by the power of unfalling love and cheer- fulness to be your pride and comfort and Joy. You can only do this by controlling yourself In her presence, by setting her an example of dignity and patience and all-embracing love; by eliminating all bit- terness, all gloom, all carping critiolsm trom your heart, and by bestowing upon her nine words of appreciation for every one of fault-finding. You must win her respect before she can be asked to respect you. You must be lovable before you oan expect her to give you more than the duty regard which so many ohildren are obliged to make serve for fillal affection. You must be sweet and responsive and sympathetic before she can confide tn you, and you must be tactful and merry NOVEMBER \ 19, 1915 Cannot Long Be Hidden Little “Oh My" in a blue pinafore grows wealthy sud- denly one day, on a reddish, round, bright penny. that she’ll hoard and hide it. the smoke wreath And dreams But up it comes over the counter of the store down the road, held fast and perspiry in a fat fist, and a lamby little voice lisps, And the fact of her wealth is abroad! overalls with a thirst for age and the privileges that go with it sits bohind his very own white fence In the low cedars, with one of his father’s fat, brown cigars.
