SPOILING GIRLS “Sins of Mothers” Why should we not discuss “the sins of daughters,” if only for a change? One is constantly seeing articles nowadays on the “sins of mothers,” but there seems to be a conspiracy of silence, especially among mothers, upon the sins of daughters. . ~ r • i Last year, when visiting an old friend of my girlhood, states a writer in the “Queen,” she attacked me about the “sins of mothers,” but they were of opposite description to those complained of by Mrs. Cecil Chesterton. My friend said: ‘.‘Why are you mothers spoiling your girls so terribly? . You never seem to teach them that it is their duty to show consideration to their parents, and at least occasionally to give up some pleasure for ‘mother’s sake,’ if necessary. Who is to Blame? “I have just been staying with Mary —a married sister, and though she has given her girls such a good time of it — lots of parties, tours abroad, and >every legitimate pleasure, the” never ■ seem to think of anything but their own occupations and amusements. “I think she is very much to blame for allowing them to be so selfish.” The mother in question had had many long and painful illnesses, which ended in permanent lameness, and as she was not like Mrs. Chesterton’s mothers, the young family took everything for granted, and “mother’s” lameness, or any pain she might be suffering, did not trouble them, or call forth any practical sympathy. Made That Way. “Well,” I said, “I am afraid I do as Marv does—‘mothers are made that way.’ An "act of love and unselfishness must be voluntary to be acceptable, and however lonely or ill I was, I should never ask my daughters to give up a party for me. I should want them to go out and enjov themselves.” , “But,” my friend argued, “if you do not ask them to give up for your own sake, you should make them do it for the sake of their moral character and that they should acquire unselfishness. It is not sufficient to set an example—young people must be coerced into the riglit Wi And that surely is the root of. the whole problem. Until mothers realise that it is-kinder in the end to sometimes appear as dampers of our children’s pleasures, we must still expect to be condemned, for “The . Sins of the Mothers.” CITY MISSION GUILD The Ladies’ Guild of the City /Mission held a sale of work yesterday afternoon in the Mission Hall,- Taranaki Street, in order to raise funds to provide Christmas cheer for young and old at the festive season. The sale was opened by Miss Parlane, matron of St. Mary’s Homes, who was presented with a bouquet. The Rev. Fielden Taylor, the city missioner, in■troduced her and Mrs. Taylor was also present. .

A pleasant evening was spent at the Women’s Christian Temperance Union rooms in Constable Street recently, when a large number of members and friends were present, Mrs. Murray presiding. The guest' of the evening was Mrs. Mowlem, the president, who is leaving Wellington shortly.

Miss E. Webb, L.A.8., was aceompaniste. FLOWERS OF JAPAN Soul of the Nation Japan is a country full of wonderful enchantment and charm. The wealth and beauty of the flowers are proverbial, and the nation revels in the cultivation of blossoming shrubs, rather than in the flowering plants. Every month in Japan is expressed and symbolised by some special flower. Spring, which enters in February all over the southern islands, is ushered in bv the plum, which puts forth pearlpink buds on leafless grey twigs and branches. . , . Then follows the almond blossom and the single and double cherry. The former is more popular, being regarded as typical of the “Samurai” spirit which is ready to die when the hour strikes, yet always returns in due season, deathless as the soul of a true soldier. The vision of the cherry blossom in Japan is deeply impressed on iny mind, and can never be effaced by time. The people say that the blossom expresses absence of self-interest, for it bears no fruit, and is simply and only a thing of beauty without the commercial advantages. for instance, of the rose, which is cultivated to win prizes at exhibitions. The lotus root is considered as an object of serious reflection. It suggests the shortness of earthly life, for in a few days the exquisite blossoms are but a passing memory. For this reason the lotus is seen conspicuously at funerals, and all the dead are “wandering in speechless bliss by the ponds of lotus land-” , . , . Again, those who are faced with incurable sorrow and despair are exhorted to go to the lotus ponds in July and August. and take heart by remembering how soon they will be in that fair region amid the immortal blooms 1 Have a genuine oil wave.

MIMES AND MUSIC Miss Helen Gard’ner’s Pupils The pupils of Miss Helen Gard’ner were heard last night in a programme ot plays, songs and elocutionary items which were all well carried out. ■ Each one of the performers, from the youngest, went through the programme without once having to be prompted, and their enunciation was so clear that not a word was lost. Many of the young performers have recently won honours at the Trinity College examinations, and they showed evidence of careful training. The usual somewhat drab stage was transformed with blue and gold curtains, and a woodland scene. The dressing was a feature of the performance, every detail being thought out so that there were no misfits. . Some very pretty scenes were enaeteu, such as “The Fairy Tailor,” the children as fairies making a chorus to the song by Eunice Scott, and the “young gentlemen who formed the suitors, “When Kitty Dances,” as sung by Pamela Beauchamp. A playlet, “The English ear,” opened the programme, with Betty McLean, Barbara Sherwood, Nancy Sullivan, Nola Harper, Pam Beauchamp, Pat Boocock, Nellie, Turner, Dorothy Tliirkell, J eau Saunders, Gladys Whittaker, Pat Gibson, Doreen Purdie, and Ngaire Marshall in the parts, and M. Jones, D. Cameron, B. Stewart, M. Craig, D. Leslie-Jones, L. Wilton, J. Barrow, B. Towers, and M. 'Mitchell in minor parts. Recitations, scenes and songs ftom Shakespeare, Stephen Phillips, W. 8.

DON’T FORGET “BAXTER’S.” . . 1 • ■ ' A family who usually spend their Christinas holidays at the seaside were making up the list of articles required the other evening. The irrepressible small boy ehimed in, “Don’t forget the ‘Baxter’s,’ mother. I used the last of the old bottle when we had our school holidays.” The small boy bad caught a cold, and his mother very wisely put him immediately on to “Baxter’s.” He wanted to see that the family was safeguarded this Christmas time. Wise mothers and fathers do not risk coughs and colds even at this period of the year. There is nothing like good old Baxter’s Lung Preserver to counteract a chill, and a dose of this sterling specific frequently wards off a more serious ailment. It also possesses tonic properties. For over sixty years “Baxter’s” has been the favourite cough and cold remedy. It eases sore throats and relieves bronchial troubles in a wonderful way. You: can get a generous-sized bottle of “Baxter’s” for half-a-crown at any chemist or store. The large family size costs 4/6, while there is the handy pocket size at 1/6. The new screw cap preserves the contents and makes a. perfect seal. —Advt.
