woman whose hair retains its color

begins to fade maybe as early as 25 or
30, the woman In the midst OF the ac-

old women!" She feels 1t all around
her.

There was applause that was deafen-

subject. 1t was decided to appoint a
committee to speak to the mothers.

That If all the Don'ts Mother uses in
a year were made into a charmstring
they would make a belt for Mother

That threats made by mothers and

That the greatest reform the children
need these days can not be realized by
the appointment of committee OF

tigate the Child Mind. or to study The
Child Temperamental.
