I contend that you can tell
more about girl by observing
her mother than you can from
herself. Did you ever notice the
mothers of some of the slimmest
and daintiest of girls? They are
bigger than a hogshead. And yet
if you asked them they would
tell you that they, too, were tiny
little things when they were
young. You can easily see that a
man may marry a slender girl and
have a fat wife. So if you don't
like 'em fat you had better look a

There is another kind of
mother to whom the man think
ing Of marrying should pay close
attention. If you never see the
girls mother except she looks
overworked and worn; if you
know that the family is in moder-
ate circumstances and the girl al
ways has time to go with you and
have a good time, even if mother
has a headache; if daughter is
dressed in a dainty dress in the
morning and you see mother
through the door in Bingham
wrapper and a broom in her hand
you may look ahead to living with
a thoughtless, selfish wife if you

The Melody

shall be old and gray You cannot
put happiness aside and say, Wait
few years; l cannot give you any
of my time now; later on I will call
for you. Will you not come to ne
now and live with me as my wife,"
But she did not understand him.
She struggled out of his arms
wounded and unhappy, an intense
pain shooting through her every
nerve and fiber. For solitude had
made her shy and suspecting: his
suggestion hurt her, and she aske1
him to leave her. She no longer re-
membered the passionate words that
passed between them; but he left
her, pale and angry. his black hair
in disorder and his eyes shooting
fire at her.
Two days passed Then one even
she saw it in one of the papers-a
short notice which most people would
have overlooked. He had shot him
self. He had gone straight from her
and had sent a bullet through his
brain. She thought of all the hard
words she had said to him and felt
how unjust she had been to him
As she was putting her room in or
der she felt sudden desire to go
out, to see people around her and
hear them talk, to feel the cool even
ing air in her face.
From the park she heard music
which irresistibly drew her in among
the trees, where It was so much more
pleasant than in the dreadful rush
ing and crowding of the streets. She
stopped in front of a large restau-
rant with many chairs and tables out
side and music in the veranda. where
few persons sat drinking and talk
ing.
She sat down on a bench under a
dripping tree, where she could hear
the musicians. Here she sat for a
long time quietly and sad, with her
hands folded and her head thrown
back.
Suddenly a musician got up to play
a violin solo. He was a tall. dark
young man; he stopped a little His
eyes were sad and melancholy under
the heavy brows
As he started to play she stood up
trembling. She felt like rushing up
to him and asking him to stop, but
she fell back on the bench and hid
her face in her hands.
THAT melody contains all life,7 he
used to say; love, suffering and hap
piness"
When the violinist lowered his bow
she stood up and went home Like a
small shadow she disappeared among
the crowd. Nobody had a look or a
thought for her.
But her pale, tired-looking mouth
was smiling, and in her eyes was the
light of happiness. No longer did she
dread the visions of the day or the
dreams of the night.
She had a hand to clasp now in the
darkness, a hand which was to guide
her through eternity.

W THEN evening came with the
wv shadows she let her little
frail hands fall into her lap
as If every muscle and tendon had
suddenly burst Her finely shaped
dark haired head rested on the table.
She was sitting in front Of her sew
ing machine at which she had been
working all day. All around her were
scraps of silk and wooden goods,
fashion papers and patterns lay in
piles on the table, and when she
moved her arms some of them
dropped on the floor. Her head was
dizzy with complete exhaustion. She
was unable to think, but felt the in
Creasing darkness as a blessing which
put an end to the toll of the day.
1t was ten years of work that had
aged her. These years mad been 10
her like one long walk through an
endless desert without a single oasis
to relieve the monotony; ner feet
had left no tracks on the sands; not
a single cry from her lips had been
responded to; nobody had met her on
the way to shake her hand.
But on the other side all these
years of weary thraldom there We're a
few years when she had been young
and had lived. In those years the
two had sat together, watching the
coming of dark, and were glad and
laughed at everything.
She was young then, and worked
for small wages in a dressmaking
shop. He had long hair, dreaming
eyes, an inexhaustible fund Of hope,
and a violin-that was all but he
was an artist. He was young, gave
lessons on the violin and managed TO
make both ends meet. He was al
ways bright and happy. Nobody
could laugh as he could. or cheer her
up as he could. He knew how to
make everything appear In a golden
and rosy light.

pectedly and took her INTO his arms.

There is no room in their memory
for the cry Of the heart for its mate,
and, lacking this memory, they are
as unfit TO be parents of young girls
and boys as an Egyptian mummy.
They are without sympathy and un-
Outstanding, at the period when the
young in their charge need sympa-
thy and understanding the most.
Without these they are also with
out charity. l have a notion that
the father Of Mildred, who compels
her to do her "sweethearting" on
the streets, would be like flint in his
judgment If she yielded to the I'M
wholesome influences of the dark

1t is wisdom to refuse to let a girl
bring man to her home of whom
her parents know nothing, but it is
better to grant her even this priv
ilege than to let her meet him on
the streets. If they know nothing

own home gives them every oppor-
tunity to know him better.
They can never know the manner
Of man their daughter is learning to

ment or weapons If he is undesirable.

been a part with a moral influence
that is never lightly brushed aside,
The girl who receives her lover in
her parlor impresses him, though
perhaps unconsciously, with the
sanctity, the responsibility. the dig
nifty of a home. The girl whose par
Tor is the streets may be good and
pure and sweet, and usually is, but
girls whose object is not moral also
meet men on the streets, and the
similarity upsets his moral balance.
An Impression.
The girl in the parlor usually has
father or a mother in the next
room. and the young man who calls
is impressed with the fact that there
is some one loving her shielding
her, to whom he will have to account
If he offends. The girl on the street
corners is without mother or
father, so far as any impression of
personal security goes. She is
thrown out like a waif; if she be-
comes a derelict the father or mother
who refused her the privilege of re
ceiving her lover in her parlor is to
blame.
The memory of parents is crimi-
nally short. There are few of them
who can call back TO the days when
they loved and were loved, and when
