when we, speak of a woman as a
managing mother, " we use the term
as an epithet of reproach. 1t ~visualizes
to us a stony-hearted creature who lays
traps for rich young men TO tumbl IN
to and who sells her daughters to the
highest bidder in the marriage mar
ket,
Most women are so afraid that they
viii be taken for this monster that
they dare not make a move to try to
help their daughters get settled in life,
vet, heaven knows, II there is anybody
on earth who should be a good mana
ger, who should be fo~resighted, and
who should try to pull the strings of
fate, so as to secure good fortune for
those she loves, 1t is a mother. Surely
life is not so kind to women that a
mother is justified in trusting her
daughters happiness to it with blind
faith. =,
In reality, the managing mother"
is not the lowest type, but the highest
type of intelligent motherhood, for If
there is any other one duty more sa-
cred than another that a mother owes
her daughters It is to assist them IN
plotting their little boats through the
dangerous currents and shoals Of girl
hood into a safe anchorage.
The majority of women want their
daughters to marry. They believe that
a woman is happiest, and best .fulfills
her duty IN the Worlu IN the uOHlestlC
sphere. They know that a good, kind,
tender, loving husband who can give
his wife a comfortable home is God $
best gift to a Woman.
Also they know hat there is no mid
die ground in matrimony, that a home
is either heaven or he'll, and that no
woman is so to be pitied as the one
who has a brutal and selfish husband,
ora drunken and immoral one, or eve
one who is just plain no account and
can't make a living.
Realizing that her daughters whole
future lives depend upon their making
good matches, surely it Is a mothers
business to do everything in her power
to help them get the right sortsof hus-
bands, She has no more right to trust
their fate to luck than she would have
to leave a baby to play on the ledge
of an eight-story window. or a three
year-old fodder to cross the street
alone in front of a racing automobile.
OF course marriages between young
people are not arranged in this country
as they are in Europe. Young hearts
in this land of the free and home, OF
the brave, not to say the ~foolhardy In
matrimony, insist on finding each other
Or thinking hat they find each other
Therefore, mother can not make 8
match for her daughter, in the owen
tional sense of matchmaking, but II
she has any intelligence and discretion
she can understudy The fat boy witt
