Sometimes a lover steps in and
rescues the girl from the terrible
fate Of being killed with kindness,
but not often.
Seldom an Attractive Person.
Mama's elderly baby is seldom
an attractive person; the excessive
coddling and cossetting makes for
a certain weakness Of character
that finds expression in being
peevish and whining. She eX-
poets the world to spoil her as
mama has done, but the world has
no time nor patience for this type.
The man very naturally asks
himself who is going to continue
the spelling and waiting upon pro-
cesses after marriage; naturally
he acts panicky about domesticat-
ing this type Of eve lamb, and he
drops out
Curiously enough, mothers Of this
type are always eager to marry of
their spoiled, helpless girls. Apart
from their dressmaking talents
that we're bound to find expression,
the sewing and shaving may have
been undertaken, secondarily, that

The Average Man Afraid of the
Type.
But the average man shys away
from this situation, a masterful
old woman holding her daughters
life in a vice and a semi-young
one content to have 1t thus held.
OF course, a girl Of this sort
never has any life OF her own, she
is absorbed as completely as the
water is absorbed by the sponge
She may have all the talents in
the world, but they never flourish
on the thirsty soil Of such maternal
egoism.

So the poor Vampee, then past
thirty, had to set about making
the family living. =.
Could Not Go Into an Office.
A place in a Government office
was secured by friends. but the
old mother could not let the daugh-
ter accept It They belonged to
what they proudly imagined to be
one OF the finest families in the
world-crownheads included.
And no daughter Of the house Of
we'll call them the Adams Of
Eden-had ever gone into an office
to work.
So the mssterful old lady de-
cided that while her daughter
must work, she had to work in
secret The form Of industry she
chose was making candy on the
sly" for the Ladies' Exchange
and certain exotic grocery stores
provided, Of course, that no one
ever found It out
SkuIklng About With Boxes of
Candy.
can remember that poor mid
dle-aged girl, skulking about those
places with her boxes Of candy.
She always went very late or very
early, so that she wouldn't meet
anyone she knew, and always she
looked tired, discouraged and for
lorn.
In the wretched three rooms
where they lived-and also made
the candy-the old mother still
sewed. patched for, bossed and
cosseted her doll. I've often
thought about those two, and how
they must have felt toward each
other there alone at night, after
the everlasting candy boiling was
over.
The mother never thought about
the daughter as being entitled to
an independent life. God gave that
girl a soul and a life to hand on,
better, stronger, nearer the Mas
ter's ideal, but the old woman
"broke the chain"-she needed her
doll.
The Washington times., 1918-05-22

NEVER see one Of those mother
spoiled girls-they may be
any age from sixteen to forty,
or older-without holding the
mother strictly responsible.
Often the daughter is spoiled
because the mother has never quite
finished playing with dolls. Her
daughter is her doll-a toy to be
sewed for, fused over, cuddled,
petted, played with; never by any
chance does the mother regard her
as irresponsible human being.
II would never do for the doll
to grow up, because the mother
would then be deprived of her
vocation. So the daughter becomes
a sort of petrifed product, she is
neither a child nor a woman.
Frequently a mother Of this type
has a passion for sewing, she loves
TO sew, she loves to shop, and
match odds and ends of things.
She loves to filch ideas from smart
dressmakers Openings" and then
reproduce them from remnants on
Of the bargain counter.
In these various activities, the
mother expresses herself and such
talents as have been given her.
The daughter, who usually has
selfish streak, that has been water
ed and tended by the mother, un-
consciously, perhaps, permits her
self to be made a doll Of, 1t IS cas-
Ter to accept these doubtful bene-
fits than to resist them.
Perhaps in the beginning she
wanted to be the captain Of her
own soul, but gradually she has
given that up, and decided that as
mama's little girl it is perfectly
proper for mama TO slave for her
from morning to night
The mother, on her part, repre-
sents a sort of perpetual motion
machine: she couldn't stop even if
She wanted to. Her fussy activi-
ties have gathered such momen-
tum. during all these years, that
there is no checking them. She
must 20 on doggedly with the sew
ing, matching and shopping, till
she drops.

THE RED CROSS
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

TINE Red Cross of Mercy-the one dear tradition
That shines like rainbow above the black storm
For freeman dupe Of the monarchs ambition
It serves to the end where the War Devils FORM
With the tenderness shown by sister forgiving
With all the soft sweetness a mother can show
It comforts the dying and cares for the living
An island Of peace in ocean Of woe!
The Red Cross Of Mercy-nan's greatest assurance
That Right is not rottng, that God is not dead
With the sofness Of Strength, with patient endurance
It creeps to the soldier whose power Is sped
Il laves the hot brow with the touch Of mother,
It closes brave eyes that are swimming with pain;
It comes a friend q sister or brother
And seeks out the wounded who rest with the slain
The Red Cross of Mercy! The Cross Of The Master
It shines Ger the shambles the tempest has made;
Il shines Ger despair and it shines DER disaster
As shone the First Cross dark Calvary's Grade
Give! Give Not patriot falters pauses
In doing his mite for his brothers abroad
For clear is the call Of this greatest Of causes
The Red Cross Of Mercy! The Red Cross Of GOdl
