Would Keith break in, as he had
threatened? How would he come?
The windows were inaccessible, she
told herself. reassuringly-yet she
feared to turn her back on them. The
doors were all locked-the outer ones
were barred. Yet were they barred?
Had she remembered to fasten the
bolts, when she came in with the news

gotten, in her anxiety and excitement?
She was not accustomed to seeing that
the doors were fastened it was more
than probable that she had left them

said that he would come, and she
knew that once he made up his mind

From the time q girl reaches the
age of twelve until womanhood is es-
tablished, she needs all the care a
thoughtful mother can give.
The condition that the girl is then
passing throughis so critical, and may
have such far-reaching effects upon
her future happiness and health, that
it is almost criminal for mother or
guardian to withhold counsel or ad-
vice.
Many a woman has suffered years
of prolongedpain and misery through
having been the victim of thought
lessness or ignorance on the part of
those who should have guided her
through the dangers and difficulties
that beset this period.
Mothers should teach their girls
what danger comes from standing
around with cold or wet feet, from
lifting heavy articles, and from over
working. Do not let them over-study.
If they complain of headache, pains
need mothers thoughtful care and
sympathy.
