There were all feared lost In the rush of flappers found every where for the last few years. Parents, teachers, heads of colleges snd other executives In charge of the younger generation have deplored the dearth of “the right sort of girls." But Omaha mothers of daughters who take a prominent part In social life of the city and In college life elsewhere, declare that they have proof of perfect daughters In their homes. 1 Their daughters do not crave ex citement, smoke countless clgarets, drink or do other things paramount In the pleasure-mad whirl of Jazz. Their pleasures are found to he wholesome and tend to develop them toward real womanhood, they say. The daughters themselvep state that It Isn't eo hard to live the way In which their parents would wish them to. Parents to Blame, One Omaha mother, Mr#. F. H. Myere, mother of Mlaa Betty Myers, In the teens, and of Mrs. Marlon Brando, expresses as her opinion that parents are to blame If their daugh ters must b* watched carefully and guarded closely at the age when thpy should be free "to try their wings.” "I want my daughter, Betty, to live as the girls of today live,” said Mr*. 1 Myers, "but that doesn't mean that she must drink and smoke. I want her to be modern and not to miss one good time. Of course, all mothers think their children are perfect but I do believe that my daughter t* 100 per cent girl." "I can't, sea why there is eo much talk about the girl of today,” she went on. "They don’t begin to drink as much as papa and mamma do. All children are so much smarter today than they were a generation ago that there is no comparison. Today they; rely on themselves more end know better how tg> take care. After the proper upbringing a girl ehould be put 'on her own., ehe should be inde pendent' Never Better Generation. "Miss Towns, dean of women at Central High achool, etated what I firmly believe, that girls ere no dif ferent than in our time, enly smarter. They are not afraid of their parents now, which Is a compliment to the mother and father. They lay the cards on the table end are outspoken. There has never been a better gener ation than the young generation of today.” Mrs. Charlee R. 8herman( mother of Miss Dorothy Pherman and of Mrs Edwin Bannister. b»ll*vee It 1s la good plan to keep the girls close at home until they are 1*. then let them be Independent ss to their wishes. "If the right sort of principles are Instilled in them before that age, they are sure to he all right,” said Mrs. Sherman. "They ere shown a cer tain Standard to live by and usually keep to it in later life." Miss Dorothy Sherman, who will enter her second year st Fmlth col lege this fall, has been cited a "a perfect daughter,” and agrees with her mother. Few College Rules. “I have been close to my mother's apron strings." she said, "but believe that It has helped me be Independent Instead of hindering me. At college environment end early training are what count to mak* the right sort of girl. The college authorities believe that the fewer rules there are to break, the less likely we are to find trouble. We are made to r»ly on our common eenae.” \T>\ pHTK-r.Mr.vr.

Miss Helen Graham, also cited as one of the "perfect daughters," gives all credit to her parents, especially to her father. Miss Graham Is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will T. Graham. "My father has helped me more than anyone else In the world," she declared. "I believe that environ ment is the whole thing. My father or mother never said 'can’t' and I have appreciated my freedom to such an extent that I would never do any thing to hurt them. Father approves of the old-fashioned girl and for a time didn't even approve of cardd or dancing but has become more lenient now." Miss Graham’s slstsr, Dorothy, still in her teens, Is following in her foot steps. Early Training Important. Mrs. C, O. Talmage, mother of Miss Doris Talmage, believes that Inborn Instincts of right or wrong must he coupled with the right early training to make s "perfect daughter." "But there Is no happy medium," said Mrs. Talmage. "If some of ths frivolity of some of the g-iris could be diminished and some of the serious side of the quiet girls he lessened wc would have the perfect girls. Higher education makes for refinement. Mu sla or art may not he necessary if they have no talent for that certain thing but 1t adds to the upbuilding of the girls. After a girl is Id It is time to give her tha freedom necessary for development." Miss Charlotte Fmith, who has been with her aunt, Mrs. E. ft. Rood, since she was 4, is regarded as a "perfect daughter." Mrs. Rood is also her godmother. Modern Children Wonderful. Mrs. Rood eums up ths perfect daughter of today as having early training, good disposition, character, and some reltgloua tendencies. “It Is easier to rear the ‘perfect daughter,' of course, when the mate rial is the right kind for good devel opment,'* paid Mrs. Rood, “but the character 1s formed by the training from the cradle up to 111. Modern day children are wonderful. They reach their judgment by experience. Charlotte doesn't smoke or drink but she doeen't mind when out with oth ers who do, for she Is never in a crit ical mood towards them. Bhe uses few cosmetics and attends cnurch regularly, “We always hare lived In the old fashioned way. My niece doesn’t even attend movies or dances on Sun days.” Other Omaha girls who hav* been pointed out aa “perfect daughters'' are Miss Eleanor Burkley, Queen of Ak Sar-Ben; Miss Virginia Leussler, Miss Ruth Orlmmel, Miss Josephine Platner end Miss Helen Rogers.
