Editorials For
Women Folks

OF course, you're worried about
her. You're afraid h isn't going
to turn out just as well as she might.
She leaves it to you to keep Harold
entertained on the front veranda
while with an art born of other such
emergencies she whisks Tom out the
back door.
She ships off her hair and cuts off
the bottom of her skirts.
She buys powder and color frank
ly, dashes it on just as frankly and
then spends ten minutes trying to
decide just where the patch should
go. She always emerges eventually.
with the audacious thing candidly
pointing to her pretty mouth.
And that strikes terror in your
heart. 1t reminds you of some mag
pie chatter you overhead in which
the girl who seemed more popular
than the rest exclaimed, Whats a
date without a kiss!" -.
Your blood almost CONCEALED!
Your daughter making a friend of a
girl with such ideas!
You have a right to be shocked.
It's a new thing to you and hard to
grasp. But don't blame your daugh-
ter, or imagine that she's on the road
to ruin. OF course. she wants to be
popular. The prospect of being a
wall flower is>not attractive to any
girl.
Today she needs your sympathy
and your understanding more than
the daughter of any previous age.
All of your ingenuity, your
thought, your talents should be
given to helping her escape the soil
and the CRIME, without giving up all
of the good times.
Don't criticise her!
Win her confidence through SYM
pathy!
Understand and guide her.

get married without a license" asks
a YOUNG GIRL. I'VE are going to
eIope!' she announces with naive
confidence.
It is the custom to smile over the
young girls first romance. And It is
just as much the custom to hold
her responsible for the mistakes she
makes while under "the influence"
The custom is most unfair. 1t IS
as IL one had trained a creature to
do tricks only to punish It for obey
ing.
All her life the girl reads about
love, plays it on her piano. sees it
on the movie screen, hears 1t dis
cussed in detail on the stage. is
warned about it by the minister and
is admonished by the doctor. And
so she waits for the coming Of the
great adventure and is not too crit
zeal when it arrives.
She welcomes love-not the lover.
One mar will appear as perfect as
another.
The reason why mothers and
guardians need not worry is that in
fatuation perishes-if nobody takes
notice.
Now those who have followed re-
cent writer's on love and life have
| discovered that while the need to
love and to be loved haunts the race
from the cradle to the grave, 1t still
follows some general laws.
Nature abhors my vacuum and
she kills off the unfit.
Nature cannot tolerate the pre-
cocious, for it is unfit. And SO
first love commonly called puppy
love-" may be trusted to evaporate
unless it is nourished upon parental
objection.

Psvche,s Kisses

Boil the sugar to crack stage. Stir
in two ounces of apple juice. While
boiling remove from fire and stir in
gradually about u it's bulk in fruit
juice, coffee, diluted chocolate or
any kind of favoring desired. Set
aside to cool. When cool beat with
a wooden paddle, stirring the mass
vigorously from the sides and bot
tom until it becomes soft and elastic.
The longer it is worked the better
the kisses will be. Let stand over
night and warm with a gentle heat
8 or 4 ounces at a time in a sugar
boiler with a spout. Stir to avoid
burning. When the mass will pour
readily, drop from the spout on wet
or buttered paper in desired sizes.

If YOU ARE WELL BRED

You will not fail to acknowledge
with a friendly glance or bow either
those who serve you or those to
whom you stand in the light of a
patron.
You will train your son to recog-
nize kindness or courtesy shown the
girl he is escorting, as for instance,
when she is offered a seat In a street
car, by lifting his hat.
You will train your son to walk,
In the direction she Is going, beside
the girl to whom he wishes to talk,
Instead of stopping her and standing
with her on the street.

Mrs. Ames Sees Need for Reform
CHARTER SO

Il hAASs AhhhSo ~
Chapter so
"Are things quite all right around
the house? 2" Mrs. Ames asked ME.
.Quite-so far as l know" 1 re-
piled.
You look as if you are not m
too all right yourself, my dear!
You aren't troubled" she question
ed.
mo" But my voice was not con-
vincing.
Lila ran on a little about some
new things she needed, n some
rather surprising plans for her per-
sonal supervision of her household.
Then she broke off in a very seri-
u tone.
You saw Phil yesterday" Her
voice was low. I'VE talked things
overland I've made such a mistake.
/ haven't a mother or a sister here.
and l must talk this over with a
woman; somehow, this morning l
want the companionship of a
woman"
"When a woman seeks the COM
partnership of other women, they say
it is a sign she is getting old" l re-
minded her.
\ perhaps 1 am-surely I need TO
gchange my ways and hat may be
the natural change coming along
with the rest.
Philip talked to me yesterday, as
he never talked before-he made me
see things seriously. I have been
trying to find happiness in the wrong
way and the wrong place; l have
been looking into a shallow vessel
and hoping to see the mirror of
Gods deep. 1 have mistaken the
shallow reflection for something big
and worth while-and I've been all
wrong"
1 couldn't say anything when she
stopped speaking. My brain was
busy on my own problems, finding
them reflected in Lila's, and 1 vas
daubing my ayes with a bit of white
linen which 1 had wadded tightly in
my hands.
"Helga!" Mrs. Ames' voice was
very soft.
"You haven't been-what is the
NATTER" she demanded.
