Comment on the rapid pace at whieh young women live to-day and tho probable effect on tho future generation was made by Dr. Lorna Hodgkinson, of Sydney, who has specialised at Harvard in tho psychology of abnormal children. She is a passenger by the Aorangi to Vancouver. “It is not unsual for young women to stay up to 3 o’clock in the morning day after day, and attend cocktail partios and other kinds of parties,'* she said. "Alany have to be at work early in the morning. Alany don’t get proper food, and certainly suffer from lack of sleep. This is laying a bad foundation for the children of the coming generation. ‘‘Nerve-wracked, hysterical, neurotie girls cannot mako the best mothers. Half of the girls of to-day are starving themselves in order to look slim. Alany mothers encourage their daughters io belong to what they consider the smart set. ”
