cause the boy thinks the father under

OF this generation that many Of them
emerge from the contemporary processes
OF education with ideas, standards and in
t%entions of their own, so definite and
positive as to bring the contemporary
mother to confusion and dismay. the
mother has her views and plans for her
daughters next proceedings; wise plans,
probably, based on sound experience, but

club and the doings of its members.
There are still left in the club the tele-
phone girl and six chambermaids. It Is
