II would be perpetual reminder to
parents, of their own youth which they
have so long forgotten. II would give
them the KEY to their children's cor
fidences, and keep them from making 50
MANY blunders that they now make.
OF course, TO the middle-aged woman,
sweet sixteen seems more in need Of the
slipper than Of latch KEY. The idee
of Mamie, who only yesterday had her
hair in pigtails, wanting 10 have beauxl
And how ridiculous for her 10 want to 90
about with lot Of girls and bows as silly
and young rs she Isl Listen and shudder
at the way they gigglc at nothing. and
talk in catch phrases and slang that is
u1intelhgible. Perfectly disgusting
Mother is determined to save her daugh-
ter from il all
So she locks the door on Mamie. and
Mamie slips out of the window and meets
boys and girls, of whom her mother
knows nothing, on the street corners.
and mother hasn't a chance in thelworld
to protect her little girl from the slares
into which unwary young feet blunder
so often
All might be different if Mother would
only remember her own youth If she
would recall the time when a new dress.
Just like every other girls, spelled
Heaven for her; when not to go TO a
dance was a tragedy as great as death
would be to her now; when the girl
who had the most names written on her
fan was an object of acute envy to all
of her companions; when she and her
intimate friend would sit for hours
with their arms around each other,
whispering nothings; when to have a
boy carry your books home from school
was triumph; when everything in her
cried out for gayety, and laughter, and
action, and amusement, why, then, II
mother recalled these things, she would
know Just how to handle Mamie
For the girl and the woman are sisters
under the skin, and mother would be
wise enough TO see that Mamie got her
fun, and her beaux. and her friends
wholesomely, and of the right kind, and
under an eve that watched her without
suspeeting it.

when he was boy how he stole apples

them that they are fools and ssses.
It's because parents represent them
selves to their children as having beer
paragons IN their youths, that there iss,
little confidence between them. How cal

of both. But when they spoke of the
,eweled swings poor Butterfly Fairy
forgot her Queen and her work.
Down went the basket on the
ground and out rolled all the dew
drops on the grass. Where can L
find one Of the swings?' she asked.
All the Butterflies began 20 wave

one TO join in their lazy way of liv-
ing. 50 they called Come TO But
terriy Fairy and away they few.
And she followed them, silly But
terry Fairy, and left her basket ON
the ground. but the Queen found il or
no telling what the fate of the little
Fairy might have been.
The real Butterflies took the little
Fairy 10 a beautiful red rosebush
where under one big rose hung a
ieweled swing, and when she was
seated they gave her push and of
they fcw.
But Butterfly Fairy forgot the sun
and how the warmth would make the
swing vanish, just as did her Queens
wand make many things disappear
that il touched.
So there she swung back and forth,
thinking only of her beauty and the
fun she was having, when all II once
the swing disappeared and down she
tumhled on the ground
Her little cap tuubied of and one
wing was SO bruised she could not fly.
nor could she step, for her knees were
badly bumped and hurt. And il vas
there the Queen found her Butterfly
Fairy on her face crying, but she
did not scold her; she picked her up
and put her in her own royal carriage
Then she drove her about showing
her the work she had left undone, the
poor thirsty flowers she had neglected
and while Butterfly Pairy sat at home
with her wing and knees hound in dew
and honey balm, the Queens own
make. she saw how foolish she had
been TO listen to the real butterflies
That was the reason the Queen did
not make her well at once with a
touch OF her magic wand, she wanted
Butterfly Fairy TO think what she had
done and you may be sure she never
again neglected the flowers or stopped

Congress will be asked by the rail-

finance of the Railroad Labor Board
by barring II from all financial
relief that may be voted the rail-
roads.
w. H. johnson. president Of the
International Association OF Mech
inists, and o member Of the execu-
tive board of the Railroad EN-
ployes Department Of the American

the officials of the Pennsylvania
''bolshevists' and "law-breakers."
He pointed out that exclusion Of the
company from the benefits OF the
$500. 900 900 subsidy the Administra-
ton proposes to give the railroads for
rehabilitation and public opinion were
the only ways in which the road could
be forced to comply with the Labor
Boards rulings.
The Cummins-Esch transportation
act, under which the board was Great

rulings. There is no penalty the board
can impose on either the railroads or
the railroad workers for refusal TO
accept its decisions.
