a silly thing sounds too silly TO the cold

Do mothers realize how often they
blight their daughters lives?
OF course most women hold to the
theory that mother love is sort of
divine inspiration that gives every
woman who has borne children the Wis
dom TO deal with them and direct their
steps Alright. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. There are millions of
women who love their children we'll
enough TO die for them, who through
lack of sense and judgment do dead6er
wrong to their sons and daughters than
malice itself could invent.
Especially do these mothers handicap
their daughters, for the boys break way
and make their own lives, but the girls
are bound to their environment and are
the predestined victims of mothers
whims and crochets.
There is, for instance, the morbid
mother who keeps her daughter tied to

makes witty stories out of the snatches

knowing that her friends are going
to be turned into figures of fun makes
the girl self conscious, and the young
people themselves sense the air of hos
