AND HOW TO MAKE HER
Seven Rules Which Will Guide Young Girl Into

tea as the millionaire at a banquet.
THE nth lesson for girls Is that large
income Is not necessary for welded bliss
A group OF school girls were asked re-
Gently 10 make an estimate Of the cost OF
living Most Of them Mortified their teach
er by putting down $1,000 as the income
needed to support a family comfortably
II our girls are going to put of the beau
tiful fellowship OF man and woman until
the man has attained that terrible in
come the outlook is indeed pitiful
"A girl must understand her relation
to her servants and TO all working class-
es. II this were done much bloodshed
would be avoided in these strikes and
class conflicts Let the girl get acquaint-
ed with the lives and problems OF the
poor by teaching a class in settlement
but let her realize her obligation to that
class. She can't go 10 dance on the
night those little girls are expecting 10
have their lesson.
THE last OF the seven lessons is the
lesson OF patriotism. Teach the girls they
are part Of the state, and have respon-
sibility toward their fellow men. No
CndDgs winch may come III our pciliNoi
affairs will be so radical that IL can affect
our womer at all unless they make
radical change in their sense OF civic re-
sponsibility."
After the difficult problem Of the girls
education for womanhood had been set
tied, the Mothers Club was advised con-
corning the upbringing OF boys by the
Rev. w. w Giles.
Johnny Jones is a very complex indi-
vidual," said Mr.. Giles. His father
thinks he knows him physologically: his
mother thinks she knows him psychology
ically; his pastor thinks he knows him
spiritually. None Of them do-the pastor
least Of all--but there is one person who
does know Johnny Jones-that is the
other little boy on the block.
"Johnny's real education consists Of the
development of three functons-intelli-
eence, the power 10 know; affection. thu
power to love; WILL the power 10 do. II
the first only Is developed, Johnny be-
comes an intellectual bore; II the second
is encouraged ovcrmuch, he becomes
male coquette whom even women de-
spise. and II his will only is developed, he
becomes a crank"

These are the seven rules for the per-
feet upbringing OF girl. as laid down by
DR.. Angenette Perry yesterday afternoon
at the meeting OF the New York City
Mothers Club at the Hotel Aston.
The first thing young girl should be
taught is common sense in dress Dr..
Perry said. Modern fashions are unhy-
gienic. Think OF the way girls go about
in cold weather like this. with their chests
absolutely bare! / once heard nice
young man oriticisng this, and the girl
said: Why shouldn't | wear IL so? It's
the fashion. Well, said the young man
spiritedly, It's a very silly fashion.
Girls" continued Dr.. Perry, must De
taught that the fashion excuse is no ex-
cuse. They must value their health above
the most fascinating fashions Internal
hygiene is more important than external

THE second lesson IN educating girl
Ia TO teach her some occupation that has
money value. Then II she marrles and is
left a widow with little children TO sup
port she earns their respect. as well as
her own. by being independent OF the
charity Of relatives.
"A girl must have certain knowledge
OF domestic science. too. / have heard
girls boast they couldn't make even de-
cent cup of coffee. That Is nothing TO he
proud of. 4 trained capable mind is able
to cope with coffee pot problems, even IL

experiences of her own.
The next thing TO teach girl IS ene
real meaning OF hospitalty-that II IS not
a parade OF fine linen and silver. These
are very nice 10 have. We all want them
