In perusing our page I notice that some
are giving advice on one subject and some
another. so after careful consideration I've
decided 60 give some advice To mothers 1
am not yet twenty-five, but a sad, and J
must say bitter experience has rendered
me capable Of advising mothers wnat they
should teach their girls. Teach them what
II is "a be a woman and why they are such.
Impress upon their minds the Importance
and nohcnoSs OF wom3ns life. am sure
il mothers taught their girls the things
they. as women. have a right to know.
there would not be the vulgar fun existing
among them there is now. Above all
things teach them proper care OF their
health. that their bodies are Gods tenn
pies. which they have no right to abuse.
How many women regret IN after years
little lmprudCnccS done when they were
ignorant Of the consequences. When God
made YOU mother He made il your duty
TO teach your girls what they should know
a bout any feature of life. Some may use
the excuse. cit is vulgar" II IS not. 1 am
speaking 10 mothers of their own d1usn-
ters. Every healthy minded girl expects
and anticipates the time when she VIII
be "a happy wife and mother Then why let
her rush blindly with l,fe a, stake into
the rirhts and joys that belong to hrI? !
Better had we drown our girls when tnoy |
are infants. as do the heathens. than |
hay. their lives saddened through ignor- |
ance because Of the death Of a dear child |
and maybe the thought of what mother !
should have done. If | awake one mother !
to her duty and save one girl the heart |
yearnng ! now feel. | shall consider my |
life mot wholly wasted. or wholly vain"
