One Mother's Way of Managing Her Girls
When the girls go off to boarding school not because we like It, but because we
thia autumn we may be quite sure tha
no matter how homesick and lonely the
feel, they are not taking the change s
badly as the mother that they left be
hind them. How, then, does it come about
that we meet o many women at thla sea
son not rejoicing that their girls have
"finished" arid came home for "good." but
deploring the- fact because they don't know
what to do with them?
By way of a beginning a mother of, ex
perience suggests that there can be noth
ing better than letting the girls do some
thing with themselves. Her oldest girl
stayed at home, the aecond became a
teacher, the third a typist, and the fourth
also came to remain home from achool
because her eldest alster was to be mar
ried. . All these girl were happy In Ihelr
various way, and all are closely united to
th mother, a woman of happy tempera
ment. who, having been her children' 'pre
ceptor when, they; vr Jrttl. knw how to
become their mrde"asrthey grew older.
"It 1 eay enough" with the girl who
go to business If only one I able to re
strain tha motherly desire to Interfere. I
didn't find It easy, for ,1 wanted to guard
my chlcka. end., there . were, many things
that modern girls say and, do that I disap
proved of In every, fiber of my being. I'm
an old-fashioned woman, .and vry sorry
for th unchaperoned girl. . But I knew
that time had changed and T saw also the
unreaaonahlcnes of. giving freedom to
young brother and curbing elder girl
Of course you know wha I mean. Our
boy -can do anything and go anywhere
aren't Interfere; our girls, even If they
ire 40, mustn't accept an Invitation to tea
"lthout telling us all about It, and can't
save home for a visit without having a
use made.
"Well, I felt it wasn't fair. Sometimes
I didn't like my girls to have certain
friends and go to certain places, but I
didn't complain. On the other hand. I
showed all my Interest and approval In the
friends fcnd th way that I dl-d like, and
gradually things adjusted themselves. -
"Each household should have Its own
rules, but I. cannot express too strongly
my feeling that before laying them down
the Another should discuss these with the
daughter of the house and receive her
acquiescence. The fact that she has con
sented to their making puts the girl on
her honor to see them duly carried out.
After a time. When she ha gathered some
experience, my daughter and I took
weekly turn at housekeeping, and the
boy quite frequently turned against their
mother and agreed that atster' week wa
bast. .
"Besides all this! my girl needed a o
clal training. W read book together
and talked about them, and, a It hap
pened, .we, golfed together, though natur
ally the companion on the link wa oft
ener a boy or girl friend."
Ttils woman Is considered, fortunate In
her daughter, but luck ha really had lit
tle to do with It. If other mother whose
daughters have come home experiment on
similar' line, they would be equally
"lucky."

I have actually known nice girls, girls

But there, is - room for question. No one

conclusion.
You loolt ilk a ballet girl turned loose
