MOTHERS WHO ARE TOO KIND.
The so-called "good mother" is too frequently really a bad one. She uiake.s o/her chi'idren monsters of selfishness, and never ends, her voluntary slavery to them. So far as she is concerned, as iT .mother finds "her chief joy in being a .constant slave to. her boys and girls, no one need complain;.: hut such a course, ruins the children. They grow up. into «elnsh\ ill-bred, dictatorial men and women, without self-control or discipline of mind or body, and utterly ignorant of that flower of courtesy which each human being should wear forever, fresh and fadeless, making the wearisome places of human life endurable by its charm. The most beautiful girl in the world, if she thinks of herself alone, and shows it by bad manners,.merits only contempt.
