How Not to Rear a Daughter

A mother who allows a l8.year old
daughter to float around the township
in top buggy until 2 o'clock a. m
with a counterfeit sport, Of weak jaw
and weaker morals merely opens the
front door to grief and disgrace. II
you don't know what company your
girl keeps or what time of night she
turns in, your roar when gossips get
busy will sound about as pathetic as
the wheeze of a jewsharp. The girl
who insists on sporting with every body
in the corporate limits ought to be
backed in the woodshed and relieved
of her overflow of affection with No.
IL slipper, laid carelessly across the
hiplets. We would sooner see girl
kiss blind shoat through a barbwire
fence than have her change partners
six nights week in the parlor with
lights turned low.
1T is harder to marry of girl who
has been paved over by every yap in
the community than it is to fatten a
sheep on pineapple ice. You can't
goldhrick a sharp eyed suitor with
second hand goods any more than you
can fit bath robe on a goat There
are lot of weak minded parents who
are going up against the Judgment day
with about as much show, as cross
eyed girl at beauty show and their
children will rise up and call them
blessed. with the enthusiasm of a one
legged man at club dance. e.-Lowery
