under the teachers supervision. The
mother is guilty of a grave blunder
who does not encourage this sort OF
thing in the home. What if 1t does
for a while make more plague than
profit? Bother is not what the mother
is trying to escape. Her effort should
be to induce her daughter to care for
the purely womanly pursuits of making
the home and all that therein is OF
comfort and pleasure.
It is an excellent plan to give the
girl a sense OF responsibility when
there is entertaining to be done. This
does not mean that she is to receive
her guests alone while her mother and
father retire to the background. Qnite

the period has spoken and the point Is
settled!
As a matter of course, the two girls
of whom l spoke first have as good a
right as the third to claim to te girls
OF the period. That is, they would
have it there were as many OF them as
there are of her. This sounds involved,
but I fancy the meaning Is tolerably
clear. The girls who haye an undue
sense OF their own importance, who are
lacking in Difference to their elders, in
unseIfish thoughtfulness for those
about them and in a modest esteem of
their own importance, are in the ma
jority. I don't like to own it, but l
am afraid it is the truth. If 1t Is,
what is the matter?
There will be found large number
OF conservatives who will lay it all, or
nearly all, to athletics. They will de-
care that the outdoor sports for which
girls have become so keen during the
past few years are responsible for loss
of what the old writer's would haye
called feminine delicacy. Those OF us
uho think that a healthy body and
healthy mind and soul should 60 to
gether are not inclined to hold this
view. We know too many girls who
play basket ball and row boats and ride
wheels and take part in track and field
meets and are yet gentlewomen, to
yield credence to any such sweeping
condemnations of athletic pursuits.
And yet, what is the matter?
1t is hard thing for one woman to
criticise other women and still harder
and in even poorer taste for one mother
to pick flaws in other mothers. But
are not the mothers in a measure re-
sponsible for some OF the faults of the
glrls? Have they not made mistake
somewhere in the early training OF

gether the sins of the latter, either
hereditary or acquired. If the mothers
had held the right relationship with
the girls from the time the little crea-
lures left the nursery, along through
school lite and out into society, would
not the young woman OF the presen:
day be a rather different product?

students. When she lea = heS

having travelled extensively, was give.
year in an English and French
school nesr Paris. From this she
came home to the small town in which
she was reared and went happily to
work to live her life. She has taken
one or two small classes in languages
because, as she sensibly says, that is
the work by which she would live if
she had to support herself and she
does not wish to let her accomplish
ments become rusty. But she is also
the daughter of the house, in the old
fashioned meaning of the phrase,
taking her share in the housekeeping
and home making, helping her mother
when it is necessary, being a compan-
ion to her father and friend to her
younger brothers and sisters. The
gentleness OF manner which makes her
charming to strangers may be due
partly to nature and training, but q por-
ton of it is surely the result of effort
on her own part. She has "found

know another girl of the same
type, although of different environ.
ment. The second is Middle States
girl and comes of parentage in very
moderate circumstances. Always the
girl knew that when she left school she
would have to earn her own living.
By the time she was eighteen she had
mastered stenography and type-wrltina
and had obtained position. All day
she is in her office working hard. But
when she leaves the office, she throws
it aside entirely. One WHO met her
would never suspect that she, too, did
not lead the sheltered life. Gentle,
considerate, deferential to her seniors,
not vehement in pressing her own
opinion upon others. She is thought
full about doing "the little kindnesses
that most leaye undone or despise."
Here are two specimens Of what I
call really nice girl. There are a
good many of them in the world-for
which we may thank heaven and judi
cious mothers. But, alas there are
others of another type.
I know several of the latter sort, but
one will serve as an example. She is a
college graduate and splendid look
ing woman. She has her good points
and they are many. Those who know
these and love her because of them
deprecate the flaws which are 90 much
more conspicuous than the virtues
that the latter sink almost out OF sight.
This girl is self assertiye. She has
no doubt that she knows all there is to
know. Question any statement made
by her and no matter how gently you
advance your own judgment you are
summarily snubbed. There Is no ad-
mission that you may have a grain Of
right on your side. Has not the girl

The girl who intends to 60 out and

cause she was started wrong. From
her childish years she should have
been called upon to do her share in
taking care of the home and making it
