Every person. male or female, shrinks
from badness. II adds 10 the appearance

cases are rare when the falling cut OF the
hair may not be stopped. and new aud

90. They have opinions on this subject
and that: they know whether their
friends are rich or poor or only well 10
do. and they value them according 10
such classification; they know the
slang OF the street and the songs OF
the variety stage. they speak out upon
whatever be the topic of conversation
they are conscious OF their clothes
proud when they are fine and ashamed
when they are humble.
To sum up, these little girls, VINO

and still il is very hard that our affec'
tion should be denied TO them. Mr.. FL
bridge Gerry's Society for the Proven
ton Of Cruelty to Children with the
sanction OF the Law rescues children
from the cruelty OF parents and othei
guardians who. through ylclousness,
prevent children from having a chance
10 elect to be vlrtuous and good.
This is praiseworthy work. Now II
may not be a sin not to be a lady. not
to be gentleman. but surely il IS a
most sad pity for girl not to have a
chance to become the one or boy the
other. And the chance that hotel bred
children have TO develop into any fine
fruit OF gentility is so small as not TO
be worth considering

HOTEL CHILDREN.

fancy that in no other country than
this are the children of respectable and
well-to-do parents brought up in hotels,
writes John Gilmer Speed in the New
York Herald.
In the United States many families
who would be astounded 10 be called
wanderers, or even 10 be elassed with
them, live season after season in city
and seaside hotels. knowing no other
home and apparently caring for no
other.
AT hotels the children OF such parents
are reared to manhood and womanhood,
and upon each from early infancy the
stamp of the peculiar life is plainly TO
be seen. IL is not difficult to determine
why the parents select such life.
1t is no motive of economy that takes
them to the hotel, for hotel life is not
cheap In any sense. II Is dear in the
mere money cost, and in the sacrifice
OF privacy il is expensive beyond cal
euiation. But in hotel life the troubles
about servants and other household
cares are reduced to a minimum. A
lad manager or an indolent woman, as
the mother OF family, finds relief in
MOTEL life that is denied TO her in her
own house. unless she cultivate more
tact with servants or cast OF a great
measure Of her facilitating sloth.
The father, should he be selfish fell
low, and also have such a wife. viii
usually do anything TO escape from the
1lscomforts OF taetless management az
nome. An SO such parents so with
their children to live In hotels In doing
TINS they shirk the responsibility which
they have brought upon themselves,
and TO use phrase borrowed from the
sporting world, they handicap their
children with weight which only the
very sturdiest can carry.
In childhood simplicity and inno-
cence are the loyeliest OF traits, and a
child robbed of these is despoiled OF
that which returns not ever again; in
youth modesty and Inconsistencies OF
self are the flowers that mark gentle
breeding and indicate capacity for the
development CT the high virtues which
are founded in unselfishness and which
only ripen in manhood. II simplicity

den will not be found that high bred
modesty and forgetfulness O. self-in-
terest without which there can be nei-
Their lady nor gentleman, whatever
their pretenslons may be, however dis

wealth.
II has been said that 1t takes three
generations to make a gentleman. and

uet of humanity can grow In no less
time; but | am just as well persuaded
