There is no human being who enjoys a amount of “personal liberty” the average American girl be- the ages of twelve and twenty. " After all, it les with the mother what her daughter shall be and do,’ writes @ clear-thinking woman whose letter is pub- Mehed in The Evening World today, And “Mrs. 0. V. N." finds that the mother is apt to make one of two mistakes. Either ehe is ultra-strict in the matter of her daughter's personal appearance, thereby antagonising the girl, or she herself adopts every sartorial sensat and thereforé cannot object to her child’s following the game course, The second situation is unfortunately not uncom- mon, But is there any mother to-day who errs—who is permitted to err—on the side of severity?

Dear Madam: Your articles re- garding the young girls of New York interest me. I know that the poor mothers have been overblamed sometimes, but I really feel that to a certain ex- tent they are to ‘blame. Why can't a mother strike a happy medium in her relations with her daughter? But either she puts the ban on even the names of cosmetics and style, or else she goes to the other extreme, and makes it almost a case of rivairy between mother and daughter. If a mother would talk things over with her daughter, discuss the styles, tactfully showing their bad points (which after are not so many), and frankly pointing out the ones, we wo not have 20 many freakishly dressed “kid- dies" o.. the street to-day.
