Mothers

Here is Il question: that every mother
Of a growing girl should consider very
carefully: How can have more good
times with my daughter and her
friends:
Have you made friends with your
daughters friends? DO you know who
her friends are and who are their
: friends?
1t would seem from a study of social
conditions that more than half the
mothers IN this country pay little at
tention to their chillren's associates
outside the home. Perhaps your plea
for this neglect-fOr 1t is neglect. a
neglect of duty-is that the housework
aud the care Of younger children will
not permit you to spend any time get
ting acquainted WITH young Ethers
friends.
would not wish to hurt her feelings by
suggesting that she should not assocl-
ate with them. Ethel must have her
fun while she Is young.
Five mornings week ten months In
| the year Ethel has to get out of bed
early. dress. have breakfast and hurry
or to school. Perhaps she returns at
noon for hasty lunch, perhaps not,
but after school hours she must prac-
tice her music. study her lessons for
the next day and attend to some small
duties at home.
| The evenings are long In winter. As
a rule. there are few amusements at
home, and the young boy and girl seek
pleasure Mt some neighbor's house OF
get permission to attend moving pie

On the way to either place Ethe

Surely there has been enough writer
about the dangers OF the pnblic dance.
The boys Ethel knows come to you
home infreqnently. They are at th
awkward age. when the thought .
meeting you and Ethel's father Is mos
distasteful to them.
Ethel knows how they feel and court
their favor by arranging meetings out
side her home ON the corner or a
some girl friends house where there
less supervision by parents than at he
own home.
You, however, are really relieved b.
the thought that you do not have t
