the game was D.waTds and that is the
way it does happen sometimes.
The biggest crowd that has attended
the series was out, and the spectators
included many officers and ladies, for
the rivalry between the two leaders
has been keen. Under the plan adopt
ed by reason OF the holiday week
granted by Col French the game was
moved up from a later day and sche-
duled for 10 in the morning instead
OF being played in the afternoon.
The game ended by fast double on
force at third and following snap
throw to second, Bittick starting the
play and Buorry taking the heave for
the double.
In the fourth inning Dawson went
out pitcher to first. Holcomb singled
10 right and went TO second when the

grand stagger to win his own game
when he hit a hot one through short
that scored Holcomb. Peed then

WHEN YOUR GIRL IS IMMATURE :.
SHE NEEDS MATERNAL GUIDANCE

WHEN 1UUh UlnL 40 AMMAIUhE
SHE NEEDS MATERNAL GUIDANCE
One of the hardest periods of a
girls life is between the ages of 1S
and II years. So many mothers fail
to realize how much maternal care
and the closest loving attention in
this period can do to form their
daughters entire life. The average
mother seems to think that when her
girl has grown as far as 1S years she
is big enough to look out for herself.
What foolish, mistaken idea! There
is no time when she is in greater need
of attention than this.
The years between 13 and II are
really the formative period of the girls
life. Her character, her manners and
her habits are formed during this
time. Before this period. she is too
young to have anything make deci-
sive difference in her whole life. Aft
err she has passed her seventeenth
year, she is too firmly fixed in her
past way of living to change very
quickly. But during this period Of
four years. her character may be
moulded like clay to grow into either
the most beautiful or the most hide
Gus model, according to the fingers
which have done the work.
The Formative Period.
1t seems so wrong that the neglect
of a mother during this time can so
ruin a girls character that she can
never quite recover from it. 1t is alb
solutely so, nevertheless. Again, the
child may have lovely character
completely hidden behind a mask Of
bad manners formed during the period
when she should have been most care
fully trained. Very often girls reared
in the strictest families display dis
tressing lack of good breeding.
The commonest tendency of the girl
in the formative period is toward shy
ness. Almost every girl whose body
is growing beyond her control is SO
fearful of attracting attention in pub
tic that she wishes to remain as in
conspicuous as possible, and any sud
den remark addressed to her is apt to
cover her with confusion.
1t Is interesting to note how many
forms shyness takes. The most easily
recognized Is. of course, that which
causes the girl to blush, stammer and
be at an utter loss for words when ad-
dressed by stranger. Another form,
which is just as common but seldom
recognized, seems to oblige the girl
to talk necessarily in high pitched
unnatural voice until the cause for
embarrassment has been removed.
This form is far more unfortunate
than the former, for the girl usually
misjudged as extremely forward and
boistrous, whereas her intense confu-
sion is really the fault.
This form Of shyness is almost al
ways consequence of ridicule. One
girl, who at % is just beginning to
recover from the habit of highly ex-
cited, ceaseless chatter when embar-
raised, told an intimate friend recent
ly that for years she actually suffered
when she met strangers, simply be-
cause her family used to make such
fun of her shyness when she was IA.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1914-10-08

Instead of recovering gradually and
naturally from this girlish shyness, as
she would have done in time, the ridi-
cule of her family made her feel that
she simply must make conversation
instead of remaining still and confus-
ed. She admitted that most of the
time when she was talking to stran-
gers she had no idea what she was
saying. So that the average person
meeting her thought her an extremely
forward, even bold. girl, while her
friends knew her for a sweet and re-
firing a nature as could be found.
1t is usually very high strung, sem
sitive natures which are driven to
such extremes in trying to avoid shy
ness, and these need even more care
full treatment than less nervous types.
If instead Of ridicule such girls re-
ceived loving encouragement and syms
pathy, they would soon grow out of
their shyness.
An older woman can aid so many
young girls by trying to draw them
out and by helping them talk. There
is no reason why any child should go
through agonies of embarrassment
through shyness If her mother is of
the right kind and knows how to
train her in the right way.
