THE INFLUENCE OF HOME LIFE.
An eminent doctor in Loudon states that 70, per cent, of tho girls who come to him aro ill because they do not get on at home, and a writer in a leading woman's paper says that nobody can disagree with him who knows anything of English family life. It seems-to bo tho lack of interest and want of occupation in these girls' lives that makes thom first morbidly miserable and sensitive, and then really ill, for many girls are driven into anaemia by listlessness and boredom. With so much crying out to bo done, it seems a very dreadful thing that mothers should bring up their daughters in such a way that they are not only useless to tho nation, but aro driven to boredom and ill-health by lack of sano and wholesomo occupation.
