companionship between the moth
.er and the daughter, especially
that they might be pals during the
little bit of lime between school
and home making.
In closing friends, remember
your mother is your best friend.
A real friend is one who loves
you just the same when he has
found you out.
"Wear the beautiful flower of
youth, the white rose of honor
forever in your heart; make the
world sweeter and purer for your
having lived in it,"
Mrs. Albert Silver Jr., of Der
by and Mrs. ]. H. Blackburn gave
inspiring thoughts in their talks
on Choosing the Better Part in
the Home and Church Life.
Miss Clara Richmond, Miss
Barbara Brown, Miss Lila Morse
and Miss Wenonah Dawson, made
it very evident that their CLEAN
ings from the Conference had
given them beautiful vision and
set higher standard to strive for.
Miss Evelyn Mudgett said, "A
girl need not look far from home
to find the one who should hold
the first and highest place in her
rank of comprehension mother.
Mother understands us better than
any one else, therefore she is better
able to sympathiZe with our vari-
Gus moods. You may depend
upon mother, although we girls
are very thoughtless and many
times fall far short of being a
friend to her Mother is always
the same true friend from begin
ming to end.
"The girl who does not have
her mother for a companion miss
es more than she has any idea of.
Mother is Il good sport. Take her
with GU when you are off for a
good time and YOU will find this
out. Mother is 4 wonderful pal.
If you want her for your friend,
you must be a friend to her.
Friendship, like everything else, is
tested by results.
Youth must have companion
ship, friendship and intimacy with
youth. However, in order that
our lives may be rounded out to
the best advantage. A diversity of
friendships is best for any girl
or boy,or boy, provided such
friendships are wisely chosen. An
unwise or ill-eonsidered friendship
OF even companionship is likely to
bring trouble and sorrow to the
right minded boy or girl. We
must choose safely, and to this
end let me suggest that we select
our companions among those chill
dren who have respect for their
parents wishes and advise, who are
not impatient with the old fogy
notions of their elders, who really
enjoy the companionship OF faith
er, and mother, and who sympa-
thetcally join with their parents
desire for the protection of repu-
tation, for caution and thought
fulnesS in conduct and for decen-
cV in dress and manners at all
times"
