RAPID PACE OF LIFE.
THE MODERN YOUNG WOMAN. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Dec. 7. Comment on the rapid pace at which young women live to-day, and its probable effect on future generations, was made by Dr Lorna Hodgkinson, of Sydney, who is a specialist at Harvard University on the psychology of abnormal children. She is a passenger bound for Vancouver. "It is not unusixd for young women to stay up till three o'clock in the morning day after day, attend cocktail parties and other kinds of parties and manv have to be at work early in the morning. Many don't get proper food and certainly suffer lack of sleep. This is laying a bad foundation for the children of the coming generation. Nervewracked, hysterical, neurotic girls cannot make the best mothers. Half of the girls of to-day are starving themselves in order to look slim. Many mothers encourage their daughters to belong to what they consider the smart set."
