Then she spoke admiringly of how well some foot ball follows she bad seen looked In caps. It weakened this boy's sei resolution to get a derby, and finally he chos a cap. The parents of a troublesome hy pf this aae should ranee themselves on the boy'a side. They should try to sen things with the boy's eyes. They should go with him In spirit In his pleasuies and ambi tions Just as far as possible. He will then feel they are a comrade, not an opponent, and will be more likely to listen to them when they do see differently from him. He should feel and know that love, pure and unstinted. Is back of all their advice and counsel for him. And all appeals to him to do or not to do should always be made to his reason. Judgment and manli ness. Recognlr.o his manliness.

When the Women's L'nlvetalty club took possession of the old Cutting house. Fifth avenue, October 15. it placed three of the largest and most expensively housed women's clubs In the city within hailing distance. It likewise added another link to the chain of feminine organisations clustered from Twenty-third to Thirtieth street.

"Henry is so hard to manage now," said a mother wearily. "He la Just at an aue when he thinks he knows everything and has a right to do as he pleases, and It Is so difficult to control him." "How old Is he?" asked the listener. "Just past 17." Many a mother will sympathise with the mother of this boy. From 17 to 20 boys are ndeed difficult propositions. They are naving their first taste of the freedom of manhood, and It Is apt to go to their head. If the spirit of comradeship has always existed bet ween,-mother and son or father and son, writes Harbara Boyd, the problem Is not quite so difficult, though even In this case a son w.ll sometimes seem to draw away from parents for a brief whilr at this age. But when a father or mother haa been but llttl more In a child's life than a monitor or a disciplinarian this period Is then full of trouble, for a boy at this age w.ll brook little restraint. He doesn't want advice or admonition. He wants to go his own way. It Is a time when the mother or father heeds to guide without appearing to do so. The boy must think he la shaping his own course, while all th time ne is lonow.ng suggestions tactfully thrown out by the parents. The merest hint of "you shall or shall not will veer mm at once odsu nately In th opposite direction, whereas the soft wind of diplomatic suggestion will waft him at once Into the course the mother wishes. A boy of this age who had secured his first position rather selfishly spent all hla salary upon himself, though his mother needed a portion of It for fam ly expenses. Instead of Insisting that he give her a part, whloh In this case would have done no good and probably have stirred up a quarrel and made the boy absent himself from home, she forestalled his purchase of expensive wearing apparel for himself by diplo matically suggesting how well he would look In certain styles and how ridicu lous such and such a thing appeared on a boy she had seen the other day. She did It casually, as If there was no present application to her remarks, and there was sound sense as well as economy back ot what she said. A boy Is quick to see through such subterfuges If there isn't good sense In It- This boy, In particular, wanted to buy a derby for winter, whereas the mother thought a cap plenty good enough and much less expensive.
