Show FAITHFUL DAUGHTERS BY MRS. McCUNE. ISnai RE you giving your daughter u If)4 sfiuare deal? At the quehtion l you undoubtedly square your shoulders, pull down 3 our mouth and sniff with resentment at tho suggestion that you may not plav fari with your own child. And yet many a mother and father are guilty of this very act. Not consciously perhaps per-haps one would hardly be willing to suppose that any man or woman would deliberately act in an unfair way to their own offspring but the fact that injustice is done unconsciously does not make that Injustice any easier to bear. The girl who works in her homo "helping mother with the housework" and receives for this work no monetary mone-tary compensation is certainly not receiving re-ceiving a square deal from her family. And there are hundreds, no thousands, of girls in just such a position, doing tho hardest sort of manual work and receiving not so much as a "thank you" for it. It is a daughter's diity to help her mother, perhaps, perhaps you say, and rightly so to a certain degree but the helper in the home should no: havo her work accepted as a matter of fact and be deprived of somo sot of a wage in recompense for her services. serv-ices. That housework is decidedlj unpopular un-popular with thc majority of girls is evinced by the faot that nine out of ten prefer a paid position outside of the home to one within their own family fam-ily circle. And the reason for tnis is very clear. Out In thc world the girl may havo to work hard, she has not the protection of home. She has to battle to push herself up the ladder of success. But all this work has its compensation. She receives at the end of each week a certain sum, no matter mat-ter how small, that Is all her own, earned by her own efforts. In the home she works just as hard in the majority of cases, for no one who has had to run a home denies that housework is tho hardest sort of work any woman can undertake. But she works without hours and without pay. She is at the beck and call of tho household at any hour of the day and night. She must perfect herself not in one art, but in half a dozen. Cooking, Cook-ing, sewing, mending, cleaning, washing, wash-ing, bedmaking. At the end of tho week docs she receive any recognition of her labors? No There is no pay envelope en-velope to be opened delightedly; often there is not even a thank you from those she has served all wecu. Now, on tho face of it, this is most unfair. Thc girl who must work merely for her bed and board will soon become nothing but a drudge. Sho will acquire the mental habits of a drudge. She will lose all her independence. It is far better for her to seek work out in the world whero her efforts will bo recognized, whero thoro Is somo chance of advancement, than to expend ex-pend energy In labors which go unrewarded. unre-warded. 0 jF!J CZEMA of tho scalp is most 1 SI unpleasant and always very E-Bll destructive to the hair growth.
