A Friend in Mother.

Children, whether boys or girls who
have learned to regard mother as a
friend, will assuredly turn back to her
in the real troubles and difficulties OF
after life, even it, as they are growing
up. they may for time adopt occupa
tons and form friendships from which
she feels herself excluded. Nor should
she try to force their confidence. 1t
would be mistake. for instance to
expect to see all the letters which girls
who are no longer little children write
and receive, An honorable girl will
never carry on a correspondence Of
which she knew that her mother could
Justly disapprove; but the knowledge
that all letters will be seen may prevent
her from being of great use to q brother
who would like to consult her in boyish
difficulties, or to q girl cousin or
friend who has trouble in her own
home. As for dishonorabie girls, it is
doubtful If many exist who have not
been deceived or frightened in child
hood. IL such there are, they will find
cans to write and recei private let
tiers quite regardless Of any prohibit
tiOns.
Many people, too are Justly suspi-
cious Of girl friendships Mothers who
are accustomed to talk openly with
their children will easily discover
whether those with whom these wish to
associate are likely to do them harm,
and those children who are made hap.

to feel the need OF constant companion
