The girls of the "Nineties dream ? d it. The girls of the Niu?'ieen j twenties live it. We lived in a different world. It was a world ??ver-burdened with hook lessons, a world in which then* were sly girls and sh\ uirls. nervou* girls, ami "bilious* girls.

One ran i hard I \ believe in the miracle that , ! lias, iu tin* course of one short quar ter-century. produced in their place Ithis host of radiant, self-reliant, capable, health) young creatures, girls in sensible, comfortable cloth ing. starting off upon every possi ble holiday for the clean big woods I or to the wide, winds beaches, friendly. happy. always-busv girls. I who don't know what an ache or a paiu is! I wonder if we realize we grown ! ups. the share the Girl Scouts have had in working the change? Well, perhaps we do. Looking on wistfullv. admiringly, wonder inglv. at all their joyous activities, their eager contests for athletic hon ors. their capable handling of gas stoves, accidents, motor-cars, caeip fires, cameras their amazimrlv wise' handling of themselves.

Then, when it is loo late, that mother is going to worn herself sick because Belt*' has no friends, hates to meet stran gers, is secretive, is morbid, is a sol itary, has no resources, dosen't like i to do what *he other girls do. But now. just because Betty ei ther draws back from shyness, or because Betty's little-girl arrogance and airs rather repel the other girls, her mother makes no effort to get Betty interested in tin* group that is so occupied, so busy and happy, | right here in the neighborhood. 1 A word in your ear. you mothers. Girl Scouts respect their bodies, be cause they know something about them. The\ respect their country, because loyally is one of their fun damental laws.
