The mother who makes the startling
assertion that her daughter has no
secrets from her proves only one
thing-her own lack of penetration.
No girl tells such a mother any Of
her real secrets. but she does develop
an artistry in playing the role of
ingenue that deserves the footlights
and spangles to set II of properly.
OF course, you mean when you speak
Of your daughters not having secrets
from you that she confides in you the
facts she learns and the curiosity she
feels in regard to her own physical
and emotional makeup. But she does
not. Now and then she asks you a
question But it is only now and then.

You have her instructed in music
You have her taught Latin. She goes
to dancing school. You delude your
self into thinking you are training
her for her future by giving her
smattering of knowledge about every
thing but herself.
She Accumulates Information
But, fortunately, your daughter Is
not so stupid as her mother. or even
as her mother may suppose her to be.
She, with her school girl friends. is
accommodating a diversity of infornIa
tion that would probably appall you.
All that she should learn in the right
way from you. supplied as you are
with experience and love for her, she
learns from other girls as unintelli-
gent of the deep significance of life
facts as she is herself.
Will mothers never learn? How
long will they continue to adopt this
role of chief-noodle and imbecilfc-
babbler about the daughters who are
obtaining knowledge from sources
less generally communicative.
Talk to your daughter! Stop talking
about her to other mothers! And re-
member that you cannot shut up

Newlywed was helping his wife

Neither he nor his wife was an adept
at house cleaning.
Wifey was hanging pictures and
curtains in the parlor.
Hubby was tacking carpet in an
other room.
Wifey called hubby to steady the
ladder while she put a nail in the
wall to hang a landscape painting.
Hubby took up his position be-
tween the ladder and the wall and
directly under the picture.
The nail was driven in the wall
and the picture hung.
Just then The nail gave way.
AS hubby got the picture in the
neck the ladder toppled over.
