of the Day
\ LITTLE LATE no BEGIN.

Some OF the mothers of Chicago are
reported to he organizing to put
check upon their daughters in matters
OF dress, habits and associations. Re,
forms contemplated would eliminate
styles Of dress that are frequently
the subject Of debate, regulate moon
light rides or walks, theater parties
and social functions, and provide for
curtew no, later than 10 o'clock.
There is need of concern over the
doings Of many young people these
days. The question is whether these
Chicago women can accomplish any
thing worth while along the lines pro,
posed. After the boys and girls have
reached an age where their habits are
fixed and are Of such nature as to
arouse the neighborhood, protests from
parents are not particularly effective.
At this stage interference like the
usual Interference in a love affair,
often is only q source of agsravation.
The wisest wa to handle such cases
is 10 meet them before they deveope.
Early training is the secret. There is
no procedure that win safeguard oy-
cry boy and girl. But there is rea-
sonablo assurance that if boys ana
girls are started right i'm the home
the rest Of the way will bc in the VI
cinity OF the path Of right conduct.
No kind OF organization and no in
stituton. not even the church and the
school, can relieve the mother Of this
obligation. Girls, VINO, as children
are given common sense instruction
in matters of dress and conduct are
not the ones who are always shock
ing somebody by improper or ques-
tionable behavior Tho well trained
girl is safe anywhere i'm the world.
And her right conduct lends her
sense of security which furnishes a
wholesome influence for those about
her. The same consideration holds true
in the case of the boy.
If the Chicago organization does lit
tie else, it may at least remind those
who can directly profit by it that pre-

havior of young people should be eX-
