INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER
Well to Remember That She Is Ever
Model of Behavior to the
Children.

1t is hard for a young mother. who
has not yet overcome the hayward
tendencies OF her own youthful nature,
to realize the influence she exerts
over her little one. She Is constantly
surrounded by critical imitators who
copy her morals and manners.
AS the mother is, so are her sons
and daughters If family of children
are blessed with an intelligent moth
er, who is dainty and refined In her
manner, and does not consider 1t nee
essary to be one woman in the draw
ing room and an entirely different per-
son in her everyday life, but who is a
true mother and always tender,
charming woman, she will invariably
see her habits of speech and perfect
manners repeated in her children.
Great, rough men and noisy, busy
boys will always tone down their
voices and step quietly and try to be
more mannerly when she stops to
give them kind word and pleasant
smile. For true woman will never
fail to say and do all the kind, pleas
ant things she can that will in any
way help to lift up and cheer those
whose lives are shaded with care and
toll. The mother of today rules the
world of tomorrow.
