 It Is usually one of the older girls who attends the younger children, helps the mother with household duties and takes
 her mothers place during the latters absence.
 This girl often makes drones of the other members of the family by her will
 ingness to do for everybody. It becomes a habit to them to ask her to sew the rent in the childrens clothes; to do an errand some distance away; to run up stairs quickly; to attend some ones call !,
 to intercede for the child in trouble, and
 to bear the burdens which belong to the shoulders of older womeni
 This member of the family grows pallid and worn, as well as tired in mind ana
 keeps on until she is an old woman be- fore she has grown out of her teens. | This type of girl Is not rare. There Is one in almost every family. of size and where means are small. She does the | work of several servants.
 Parents would be shocked If you ac- quainted them with the fact that this
 girl was badly treated, and would resent | the idea that she carries burdens too l heavy for more mature shoulders. | This girl grows to be a woman who
 either resents her lack of opportunities
 and refuses to do her duty, or Is meek | slave to IllO Dluulli6 oA ObhStS NAA -'N'

 taught to do its own duty-not to im- | anotheris shoulders what they them selves should do
 did his or her own amount Of work, tEere | would not be so many family drudges | who grow to be embttered women be- | cause they were robbed of their heritage l of freedom and share of attention when
 all the world should be one large pleas
 ure ground.
