THRASHY POPULAR SONGS."*

A Mother wlio Thinks they Ought to be Suppressed for the Benefit of the Children.

What are you going to do, parents of young and growing families, about the deterioration of the tastes of our children after {.hey leave our personal care and go to mingle with society at large, as represented by that colossal institution, the Public School, asks Mrs. Juliet V. Strauss in the Rockville Tribune. I make no insinuation against that institution. No doubt it is a great and growing good, but when one child comes home singing "Down on Poverty Row" and the other remarks, with quite a Bowery air, that "there will be a hot time in the old town to-night," it really seems, to the anxious mother, that it is time to call a halt. Line upon line and percept upon percept at home will no doubt obliterate the marks of contact with what is injurious, but the pity of it is that these marks should ever have been made. Can't we do something toward the suppression of the hopelessly trashy song that are just now in the mouths of every child who goes to the Public School? Not that the school is in any way to blame, except that it is here the children meet and find their society. The popular songs of the day are fraught with the very sickliest sort of sentimentality, and are positively vile in their tendencies and influence upon the tastes of children of an impressionable age. If any parent or teacher, who has the good of society at heart, should, in an idle moment, happen upon these lines, let me ask that such lines as "Kiss me once darling, daisies won't tell," or "She's my steady lady 'most everyone knows," or "I'm your man, or I'm no man at all," or that still more vile and inexpressible trash regarding the "little diamond earring in the Wabash student's beard," be set forth to those young people for just what it is and a good lecture read to them upon the degradation of singing such stuff.

Let us try to make children see that in picking up this refuse of music and poetry we are doing very much such a thing as if we should eat watermelon rinds out of the pig trough, and that he who is guilty of intellectual degradation is almost, if not quite, as bad as one who degrades his body, or that finer, subtler essence of which the body is the temple. |fl

In regard to popular songs: There are plenty of popular melodies that have real character and are bright and catchy, and lovable. Children should be taught to distinguish between this class of songs and the mire of trashy music that takes in low concert halls. One need not be confined to the classic or even to standard songs. Children love fan and they love funny songs and catchy little tunes. There are always plenty of the better sort, and I believe we should correct a child for singing the low songs that ate on every lip these days, just as we would correct improper1 conduct or bad language.

DRUDGERY OF WIVES.

The Majority of Wives Are Happy Notwithstanding This. -I have lived a good long time in the world. I have made acquaintances by the hundred: friends not so many. Looking back upon all the people I have known, I can safely say that the number of unhappy marriages I have personally witnessed has been very small, indeed," says Walter Besant. "By far the larger number of wives have accepted cheerfully the position of housekeeper and matron. They have kept house for the husbands and children whose happiness is their own. Many of them have kept house with the earnest intention of making a house beautiful, which became a continual feast for themselves. Many of them have brought art into every part of the daily life, which has been a continual feast for themselves, as welL as the other members of the house. For all these matrons the daily work has been a daily delight. Then as for drudgery and monotony, is there none in a man's work? Think of the monotony and drudgery of a city clergyman's life, when every day he has to tramp around the ungrateful slums. Think of the monotony and drudgery of the doctor going his daily rounds. Think of the monotony and drudgery of the solicitor always drawing up endless documents in the hideous legal jargon. "No. The monotony of life, I am quite sure, is pretty evenly ladled out to the working man or wedded wife. What I have said over and over again, and do most stoutly maintain, is the very simple copybook maxim that without love marriagh must be intolerable but given love as an essential, then the woman who yields to the promptings of her heart and accepts the burdens—light or heavy—leads the happiest life."

GET WORK, THEN DOIT.

Fit Yourself for Something That Must Be Done. A girl who must work must choose and fit herself for something that must be done. If it can be a specialty, for which there is special demand—educational, mechanical, professional—very well, but for the many to whom such ways are not open, and for the too many who could never all get in, the sure thing is some common, practical craft or service, wanted everywhere.

Let each one make her business exceptional by doing it exceptionally well, then let her find the nearest place where her skill can answer requirements. All about her no doubt is demand, for all about her are life and every-day necessity. Look around you see and learn the needs get yourself ready to meet one or more of them. Perfect yourself in .something. Be superior, then take hold and do. A worker can find work. Too many people wait to have work made for them. Create a demand for the work in which you are superior and then do the work. •"y
