nature which dislikes to be told of
faults must be taken into consideration
when We converse with our grOwn-up
children" writes Kate Upson Clark in
the WOman's Home Companion. After
they pass the age Of fourteen or fifteen
they usually betray a greater sensitive
ness than before to even reasonable
fault-dnding. By the time they reach
eighteen or twenty this tendency has
become a marked trait. They have
then become substantially like the rest
Of us. Even from the lips Of loving
fathers or mothers and In strict pri
vacy they want nothing but the same
love to feed. They wish no allusiOn
made to the facts that they are acquir-
Ing nasal tones; that their gait Is awk-
ward; that their taste in dress is un-
formed and even bad; that they hav,
not good judgment In choosing asso-
ciates, and so on. Private discOurses
upon the wiles Of the world and the
wander they wish none of. Whatever
medicine Of that sort is to be given
must be administered in small doses.

our carefully -brought-up young people

Business Girls.
l do not mean u girl who has gone
into some trade or profession. for the
most domestic home bird" of my girl
readers may be one. Indeed, If she
helps to carry out her daily duties sue
cessfully she must do her utmost to
become business girl" In my sense
of the word. And when. in course Of
time. she passes to a home of her own,
she will be at no loss in taking up her
position as hOusekeeper and mistress.
She will win the respect Of those in her
employ by showing them that she un-
derstands how she should be served,
and that while comfort is absolutely
required, no extravaganza will be al
lowed. She will cause her husbands g
love for her to increase by showing
him how truly his interest Is hers by
bringing into play her knowledge of
show to spend and how to save" To
make home uncomfortable by mean,
unnecessary savings Is no .real econ

how to make every dollar yield its true
value is housekeeping in its best sense,

small income go further and give more
real happiness and comfort than would
one of double and treble the amount
in inexperienced hands. But to make
my girl reader a complete business one

also learn how to conduct her charities

uuiry or thought, is often more prOduc-
tive of evil than good, and she must be
as wise over the spending Of the por-
ton allotted Ito help Others" and give
rs thorough consideration to It as she
does to what she puts apart for her
personal concerns.
