Love the Girls

It is a pretty reci. c t^ help a young girl ; to be beaatitui wbiu^ ls s , ve u by a writer | about girls, who say 9 admire them, love them, and tell t» em 80) aD(j it w jh , mpr0 Te their looks. <i t ia j, 18t possible that mother*, ann t 8 aD (i guardians teachers, cbams 3' a( j a j a ters make a serious mis« ta^ e '.a withholding admiration from the £ ro wing girls intrusted to their care. .aese young creatures are very boman.and to thrive they must have board and bathing, shelter and clothing, work and exercise, and a certain amount of coddling and petting. Tbe essentials go without mention, ing. The Bytnpaihy and eocourag;em*nt tbe love-patg and band-clasps, the light caresses and the warm sheltering arms into which a girl may creep are not listed on th- programme of exercise in the school or dome, bat they can no more be dispensed with than air and sunlight. Knowing how far a little loving goes, it is strange that mothers aod eideis should be so economi cal of it in dealing with their children. Siveet words are the music of the world. Tell your daughter her hnir ii silky, tell her you like the tnuch of it against your face, lam -at your inability to arrange tbe front p'-' f < r, and you have B'tlved tie hair question for life. Just to sure as she can lay b»r hands on a comb ani brush she will care for and drees her hair, and yoar face will come before her every time she looks in the glass. These are sweet ways to correct faults.'
