with more than one boy at a time when the most sensible thing she can do is to go with several until she is ready to choose her own “steady? The only way a girl has to develop her judgment of mén is to know men. In depriving her of experience her parents make it difficult for her to estimate character, for her basis of comparison is too Jimited Another thing which IT believe to be wrong is this mother’s de« mand that her daughter's escort attend church with her each Sun= day night. What good would this do if the young man didn’t want to go but was forced to do so in order to enjoy the girl's company? Such a command indicates that the mother prefers a rather passive type for her daughter who will bow before her maternal wishes. Tt is not likely that the voung lady will fall in love with such a man even if he can be found. Doubtless vou feel that in pleasing the parents you will please the girl, but you are discovering that this is not the case, It is probable that she is in a state of revolt against the rule of her mother, and the young man who lies himself up with the mother for the control of the girl its bound to come in for part of the re« pellion which the daughter feels. I believe that this is the real reason that she argues with you. It is because she regards you as her mother's ally. Interest yourself in the girl and leave the mother out of the picture, If she feels that you are on her side, in sympathy with her fdeas, and not just another hoss in her life, she will think more of you. My guess is that this girl is sick of being bossed, JANE JORDAN,
