WRITING THAT LETTER HOME
Duty That Daughter Should Never
Neglect, 10 the Assertion Made
by Newspaper.

When daughter leaves home one
thing she should never neglect, one
thing there is with which no duty
or pleasure should interfere. It is
the letter to mother. 1t is not
enough that she send postal card !:
every busy. Will write soon"
Mothers letter should be budget
Of daily, even hourly, happenings. 1t
should be as far as possible refeo-
ton Of every thought and action in
the new surroundings.
Mothers box OF lettersl What o
treasure house of love! How she
guards It'll How she dreams over IL
and cries over i'll
1t is hard for mother to let
her daughter leave the home nest,
so critical a moment it is in the
latters life. The daughter should
strive to make the wrench less cruel.
There are hours at home after she
has gone that are happy or dismal
according to whether she is faithful
or careless in mother thought.
Never delay writing the letter
home. It is the call supreme. Do
all that you can to please your be-
loved and devoted mother. None
will ever be SO appreciative, SO SYM
pathetic, 50 forgiving, 50 under
standing. No heart will ever beat
more true.-Chicago Tribune.
