SHE HAD W DAUGHTER
Neiahbor Was Surprised When She
Found Cause Of Severe Rebuke
Administered by Mother.

A lady living in a large apartment
house relates the following:
II had occasion n day to visit the
apartment of a neighbor. Such grave
and earnest tones of remonstrance
reached my ears. as l approached my
friends room, that I hesitated about
intruding. ] found her winsome young
daughter with her, and the mother had
evidently been rebuking her, for the
girls face was flushed, and there were
tears in her eyes.
"Come in," said my friend. Il have
finished what l was saying to Jenny,
and l hope she will remember my
wishes"
"Ah, these children - these chill
dren !" thought I to myself. How way
ward they are, ven gentle things like
Jenny, and how tremendous are a par
ent's responsibilities!
II have just been telling her." con
tinued my friend, shat she must not
wear her evening gloves when she goes
shopping in the morning. In the first
place, 1t is not genteel; and In the
second place, 1t is e~xtravagant."
Her evening gloves! And yet, I as
sure you, her tone and expression, and
the impression made on the child,
would have beftted q serious wrong
doing-one that had issues in time

MISUNDERSTANDING of State
Lansing admitted that this govern
ment is informally" exchanging
views with the entente nations on
Pope Benedict's peace proposals. No
other authoritative information on the
subject was available in official quar-.
tiers except the statement was made
that there would not be an immediate
reply and hat this government before
replying would not enter into any
formal conference with other bellig-
erents on the subject.
1t is understood that President Will
son is DESTROYS especially of obtain
ing the Russian view of the Vatican's
proposal before drafting the reply Of
the United States.
In a broad way the opinions of the
British, French and Italian govern
ments are already known.
1t is known also that the Belgian,
Serbian and Rumanian governments
will follow the course to be pursued
by the major powers at war with the
central empires.
No doubt is felt that Russia will re-
turn a negative reply to the Pope but
it may go further than that, outlin-
ing a possible peace plan which would
be acceptable to Russia.
