Show DAUGHTERS OF THE HOME. Mothers who love their daughters supremely cannot afford that any place should seem pleasanter to them than the home nest. A mother should not be so interested and insistent on keeping the home in apple pie order as to frown upon the free and hospitable welcome within it to her children's friends. She should ODen wide the doors of heart and home. It costs little to have boys and girls come to the house for informal frolics, to practice prac-tice songs together, to play games, to talk over plans and pleasures. A mother should make it natural for her daughter's friends to oome because the welcome is so warm, the meeting place so cheery, the atmosphere so friendly and uncritical, as to make self-consciousness impossible. In this way mothers will get to know their daughters' friends and make it unlikely un-likely that any unfortunate attachment attach-ment should be formed. |
