LEMMy-~1' KNOW You AY vi NOT ForcET (TS GENERAL SHERMAN SAID — children are practising the habit regularly.” What have the mothers to say to these indictments? Is it true that the little girls of to-day are allowed to ape the vulgar artificiality of their elders?’ Are the mothers too busy with tanga and bridge parties to create and preserve an atmosphere of childhood for their children? Certainly the ungirlish girl from the un- hen Dorothy at latter chil ol the age of eight looking glase it her “beaux,” we may ly eure that Dorothy at sixteen will box and wear waists. The woman principal of one of the New York public schools told that every day a dozen or more little giria are sent out of the classrooms witi? instructions to wash the paint and powder from their faces.

In many homes small giris, ight years old, blacken ir eyebrows, which idea they it fro times from their mothers, This is the initial step to the more rid- feulous custom of using powder and paint, and it is very obvious that unless the former habit is entirely prohibited as soon as dis- covered, only a short time will elapse before the children are practising the latter habit regu- larly. The excuse that “Men don't like you unless you're all dolled up” is very nice for the kind of men who like these human “orna- ments,” but from standpoint of the man who re the mod- ervative girl this an- .
