Girls the world over and in all ages
have been a subject of surprising in

statement and the desire to increase its
application to another generation
which has prompted the girl of to-day
to keep herself constantly before the
eyes of the public. Her greatest de-

enigma more intricate and difficult of
solution than any Of her preceding sis

There is an indescribable satlsfac-

she at first allows the effect of all her
happenings to show in uncontrolled
buoyancy or dependency, she comes
later to be the unconscious victim Of

those men who are in search of true
women to make happy homes for them
she is a riddle which they have no time

charm in women, and especially in
girls. This does not Qean simplicity

To be sincere and candid the girl in

The greatest kindness which a girl
can do herself in the way Of laying ur

that affect human welfare are brought
up for study and investigation. The
talk had turned on the utterance Of
some celebrated man who had declared
that he was a gooi boy who always
spoke with affection and reverence of
his parents
II Is ali very we'll for children to
honor their parents simply because
they are such, but the mere fact of the
parental relation doss not in our opih-
ion furnish full and sufficient reason
in itself for enthusiasm unless it is
backed by those sterling quail
ties that elear-headed, good-hearted
and honest Youngsters can adj
mire and respect. We think it is safe
to say that if more men and women
would make themselves worthy of the
love and confidence of their children,
they would be much more likely to get
them. Little ones have extremely
keen eyes and sensitive dispositions
and temperaments. They know very
well whether their parents are up to
standard or entirely lacking in the
qualities that make them worthy OF
esteem and confidence 1t is scarcely
worth while to argue with d child on
such things. Love and respect can
never be commanded or forced. II
parents are honorable, upright and
Justin their dealings with and in the
presence of their children, they will
have little to complain OF.
