Respect to Parents

By Beatrice Fairfax.


A%~~e%ee@S ACK of respect toward their elders is a deplorable characte

z Girls speak to their parents i'll q manner WhCh both
: they and the parents Should be heartily ashamed Of The
z - parents ere quite a much to blame is the child, or TINS
@AAAAAA<eS lack of respect is the result OF bad upbringlng.
z II from infancy a child is allowed to break into all con-
&4@@@A~A41 versations, to have a voice in every discussion and to thrust
itself forward on all occasions, the chances re that it wilt
grow sefassertve and domineeing, and a it grows older etc think that
it knows mret than both its parents put together.
If it is a boy he will pauonize his father and call him the governor" or
the old man." if a girl abe will take precedence Off her mother o II all cca-
sions, answering when the latter is spoken to and acting in a general way
as though she-the daughter-were the one to be most considered.
If the girl who speaks disrespectful to her mother only knew the impress
sion she creates on outsiders, l a m sures he would try II change Ter way OF
speaking. There is nothing that sc prejudices people against a girl Is seeing
her by word, look or deed show the slightest dsrespect to her parents.
and father, who have toned and sacrificed themselves in order that their chill
dren may have luxuries and education, is the outcome of an ugly feeling that
should be strangled at it's birth.
Many girls who really love their parents grow into the habt of thinking
them odfashioned n ignorant.
You often hear a girl say, ooh, mother means all right, but she dont
know" and then the daughter goes ahead and does some foolish thing that,
had she consulted her mothers wiser judgement, she might have been saved
from doing.

What do you think Of that daughters manner to her mother. and if any
a who was thinking Of marrying her had been there, don't you think he
would have gone away in a very thoughtful mood?
One thing that leads to this state of fairsi is the bad habit of many Ameri-
suit is that the young people get into the way of thinking tina. they can u
things themselves and that the presence of their elders is quite unnecessary.
The American girl is the best girl in the world, but she is just a trife too
Independent and cavalier n her treatment of her elders.
A well brought up English girl would exclaiml lin horror at the free and easy
way her American cousins have of speaking to their parents
Nothing is more beautiful than the tender respect and difference shown by
youth to age, and it is a great shame for the American girl to let her charms
be marred by this one hot-New York Journal
