what my sentiments arc Ia regard 20
that GIRL She tells OF her III treat
ment In her unharmonious home. Of
how aho was mover taught anything
but work there. then speaks Of her
musical training and piano. also

poor mother working out that daugh-
ter might have this musical training
And when she says Aho neglected
some little homo duty and riled her
father 10 he said he would never buy
her anything TO wear again. II Is
my opinion that when he spoke 10
her about this neglected homo duty
ahe got pretty Haucy aud drove him

don't believe there svur WA a
father or mother who would say thoss
things TO their children II they tried

And while she was filling her mind
with thoughts OF running away. ahe
had bettsr been thinking OF ways 10
help her mother GU, and make life
If,t. ~ 60 aAa

bring their parents UP thsrs would

Any ono that would act as she did
with her parents and then talk like

70 be.
! have been among girls In their
teens for years. but II has mover been
my misfortune 20 meet up with her
class I was reared In family Of
nine other children. We were all
taught 70 work. thing for which I
am very thankful My parents wero
strict. and Their. were times when 7
didn't always think an they die. hut
II was fnrthest from my thoughts
10 run away. and becoming OF AFRO
