In doing Ihla they thlrk tbo responilb.... which they have brought upon themselves, and to use a phrase borrowed from the sporting world, they handicap their children wllh a weight which only the ery tturdlrtt can carry. In childhood simplicity and Innocence Inno-cence are the loveliest of tralta, and a child robbed ot thete Is despoiled of that which teturna not ever again; In . youth modesty and unronsctousnett of aelf are the flowers that mark gcnlle breeding and Indicate a capacity for the development of the high vlrtuea which are founded In unaelflthueta and which only ripen la manhood. If almpllclty and Innocence be destroyed In Infancy, than In either the youth of man or maiden mai-den will not be found that high-bred modesty and forgettulnesa of self-interest without which there can be neither nei-ther lady nor gentleman, whatever their pretensions may be, however dig. ttngutshed their lineage or great thtlr wealth. It hat been said that It taket three generations to make a gentleman, and I am persuaded that Ihla perfect prod uct of humanity can grow In no lets time; but I am Just aa well persuaded that one generation of hotel life will apoll tbe best breeding of which e know an thing. When I was a young man I lived In a hotel for several yrara. Since Una my profession has made It dealrable that I should travel a good deal; ajd 43, ON TARADL'. rherefore I hive had a good opportunity opportuni-ty to study botela and the people who live In them. I have learned that It la possible to live In a hotel with great privacy by using a private dining room, having private sitting rooms and drawing draw-ing rooms, and by always being served by tbe tame waiters. Hut thlt la not hotel life, and auch excluilvenesa would Involve an eipenao beyond tbe meant of any but tht vary rich. Tbe usual hotel life It that of people who take their uealt in the ordinary lining rooma, and In that way are more or lest on parade three timet a day. Such a life weara off all that timid Innocence In-nocence and almpllclty which It to tbarmlng In young children, and the hotel-bred child nine timet out of ten becomes a forward little prig, with a half knowledge of ostlers about which It ought never lo have heard. Who haa not aeen tuch a child at thtiT I remember two beautiful little girls, who, fifteen years or ao ago, rared about the halta of the hotel In whl:h I lived. I have never aeen two more beautiful children. Hut they were only beautiful In appearance. They knew the alang of the boya who answered tht bells; they had some Inkling of Ihe got. tip and the tcandal of tbo house; they knew no reserve, and had lost all timidity. tim-idity. Their father waa a man of means, Indeed a roan of cultivation, and If he had not kept on living with these children In u hotel I should have tald be wat a man of great goad senie. Hut In reality he waa both silly and selfish. And what ot the glrlaT Well, poor creaturea, they nre women now, radiantly ra-diantly beautiful women, a superficial crlllo would gay- Uul their father lived ' long enough to wish that they had never nev-er been born, and wnen be realised, aa he did, that their undoing wai the Indirect In-direct result of lilt Indulgence In the selfishness ot hotel life, he wished tka,t be had never been born to bring them Into tbe world. Yhli certainly was ah extreme case. Hut when the bloom li rubbed off a peach only a little more handling will bruise the fruit. I have Just hid to obterve two little glrlt, 0 and ll yeara old. They have II-td II-td nearly alwayt In holelt. They bare tbe composure and self-possession of women of sO women ot the world of 40, They have opinions on thlt subject I and that, they know whether their Mends are rich or poor or only well to do. md they value them according to inch a classification; they know the tlang of the street and the tonga ot the variety ttagc. they sreak out upon whatever be the topic of conversation; they are conscious ef their clothes-proud clothes-proud when they are fine and ashamed whn they are humble. To sum up, these little glrlt, who ought to have been and would have been had they lived amid wholesome urroundlngs dear little children, unaffected, un-affected, slmnte. Innocent, modest and thy, are vulgar little cads, who with all their little minds and little aaiile. admire mean things meanly, ll It Im-possible Im-possible to be fond of luch children and tllll It It very hard that our affection affec-tion ahould be denied to them Mr. l'-l-bridge (lerryt Society for the Prevention Preven-tion of Cruelty to Children with tht Kindlon of Ihe law reacuea children from the cruelty of parenta and other guardians who. through vlclousneho, prevent children from hating a chance to elect to be virtuous and good. Thlt Is praiseworthy work. Now It may not be a sin not to be a lady. iot to be a gentleman, but surely ll la a most aid pity for a gltl not to have a chance to bemmo the one or a boy the other. And Ihe chance that hotel bred children have to develop Into any fine fruit ot gentility li to small at nol o be north considering, |
