The Growing Girl

N o MANY older women seem to think
that because a girl of from IA to 20
~ or so is likely TO be callow and
sometimes forward and rather ridiculous
in her pretensions of age and dignity
she must be continually snubbed and
put down. They keep calling her
child" and laughing at her opinions
and criticisms. and leaving her out OF
discussion and conversation. until some
day they awake with a start to realize
that the child is a woman, and a pert
and embittered woman at that.
OF course. American girls are noto-
rious for their unpleasant presumption.
and there are many. many things which
a girl in her teens Is not competent 10
decide for herself. let alone for others;
but there is no reason why a girl who
really IS growing up should be made TO
feel that she is always in the way and
must be patronized when she il noticed
at all. Give her at least chance to
feel that she is one OF the family and
that she is a step above the children in
the nursery, whom she Is likely so to
despise.
Here, as elsewhere, you will go most
safely in the middle" and this rather
delicate problem of maternal manage
1nent will settle itself IL consideration
and common sense are learned on one
side and taught on the other.

Keeping Letters AS to Taking Heart

4 GIRL / know has kept and stored
IA away every letter-even every ad-
4 \ vertisement-that she has received
since she received letters at all. They
are all alphabetically arranged, accord
ing to the writer, and each correspond
ent is In chronological order. The only
wonder to me is that she does not keep
card index.
Most ofSus would agree that this case
Is one of mere idiosynerasy, harmless
to every one but the person who does
the housekeeping: but 1t often becomes
a vexed question to all of US whether
we should keep letters, and which let
tiers we should keep.
There are two kinds of letters that
should be thrown away as soon as they
are received-the useless and the dan
gerous. The first are the little notes
thanking you for a gift or inviting you
to a tea. the short and uninteresting
epistles from people you don't care
about any more than they do about you.
the letters giving dry information on
subject In which you are no longer In
terested; the second are the letters CIV
ing wild gossip and wilder scandal. or
remarking on things you would rather
the general public did not know.
No one can tell just where an old let
ter may end. and on the whole, the
only ones that ought to be kept are
those valuable in themselves for style
or content or writer. and those precious
because they come from dear friends
and relatives who will not, perhaps, al
ways be with you.
And one persons letters, however
trivial, you should always keep your
mothers.

wilder than ever. Either he would
always be making bitter references
to the thing I was trying 20 forget,
or he would never mention II. and

1 once woke up In the middle of the
night and found Harry sitting with
his head in his hands. staring out

But. my dear. the mere fact that
he has asked you to marry him IS
sufficient proof that his first marriage
is no longer always or often In his
thoughts. A first marriage may be
a mistake. but a second always
means a careful and intelligent
choice; and usually it means also a
love so strong that il can leap over
and forget all that has gone before"
''Oh. that is just the point! Would
you like TO feel that the man you
married had once belonged to another

stony. tight smile and suppressed,
courteous refusal. She can't reach.
1t is also advisable to refrain from sug-
costing a forward bend movement to
stroke the poodle or to lace a shoe.
How foolish to expect it, Are you
not aware that womankind bends not?
Shoes. also, help toward the aboli-
ton of the comfort of other days.
OF course. poets and novelists are re-
sponsible for a number on a 51a

running in and out, like mice be-

small have done more for the Chinese
method than the writer's guess. The
Venus de Milo hasn't a chance
against a fool of a man who voices
his admiration for tiny feet. Greek
classics may stand firmly on long
and broad sandals. but the shoehorn
market will be cornered just the
same.

Il Can't Go; I've Got the Baby

EN OTHING makes me so angry"
N said a brilliant young mother
recently. ''as 10 hear a woman,
when she is invited anywhere. offer in
excuse, oh, 7 can't go; I've got the
baby
when my baby was six months old
7 packed her up and took her to
Europe Before she was a year old
had her across the continent. I couldn't
let her interfere with my life any more
than I could let my life interfere with
her.
The only places felt 1 couldn't take
her were places that were bad for her
theaters and such amusements. And
then left her with some one TO whom
I myself had done or could do a favor.
I wouldn't have a baby in a public
place. anyway. for the sake OF the audi
ence; but II her father was with me or
otherwise busy there was always a rela-
tive or a neighbor or a friend with a
family Of her own, or even a trust
worthy maid with whom TO leave her.
I made sure first that she was in safe
hands and that those hands were really
glad 10 receive her especially when
could return their kindness.
And, as I said. everywhere I could I
took her. I never made any change in
my work or play because Of the baby.
