do is to have a conscience about it herself and not to loiter on the way home from whatever the event of the evening may be. Then if she is at some special party that doesn't end till after midnight her parents will know why she is late, Quoting one mother’s saying that her daughter had been much wiser than she would have Lbeen at the same age in handling an awk. ward social situation, the comment was that girls of today are given more social freedom than their mothers had and they have to learn how to deal with it. If we want to avoid inter- ference in our affairs, the way to do it is to take responsibility for our good behavior our‘ selves. Tribute was paid to the girl who takes re- sponsibility for work in the home, who “doesn‘t hesitate to put as much energy into a houseâ€" cleaning job as she would into a tennis game." To the girl whose younger brothers and sisters will always remember the many things she did for them. It was suggested that it is a good thing to have a pride in fine family traditions and gifts that “run in the family.” And 'be- cause a girl 'has a responsibility for her own family of the future, reference was made to the mistake it may be to start “going steady“ too soon and to the importance of marrying the right sort of person. The speaker said: “A girl may tell you: ‘I know he isn‘t steady. I know he got into this or that trouble. I know he drinks. I know he has a wicked temper. But I’d rather have him with all his faults than not to have him at all.’ Perhaps she would; and perhaps she thinks it’s her own affair, but it isn’t. Because if she has children she is putting them in a situation where they'll have to suffer what most children suffer whose father is bad-tempered or an unsteady worker or a drunkard or a law-breaker." A directive for family living was quoted from Dr. Moffatt’s translation of St. Paul‘s O .C, PIJan In a Fashion Revue.

Love knows no jealousy, love makes no parade, gives itself no airs, is never rude, never selfish, never irritated, never resentful; love is gladdened by goodness always eager to believe the best, always hopeâ€" ful, always patient. Love never disappears." A Girl and Her Club One half day of the conference was given to club demonstrations and a discussion of club work, Excellent demonstrations were given on “The HOWS and Whys of Tea Biscuits" by Margaret Bird, Halton County, and Margaret Peacock, York County; and “Your Best Foot Forward"â€" a demonstration of the shoe ward~ robe suitable for a club girl, by Jeanette Lockâ€" man and Dorothy McRuer of Brant County. Discussion groups, about ten girls to a group, considered a number of questions on club work: in its relation to the girl herself. her home and her community; and then reported their findings to the general assembly. The questions were: 1. Why are you a member of a 4-H Home- making Club? What do you want to get out of your club work? 3. What are some of your responsibilities as a club member? 4. What has Club work meant to you? 5. How can you work together for the mu- tual benefit of all in your club? 6. Has club work made a difference in the methods of doing things in your home? In what way? 7. How does your family assist you in get~ ting the most out of club work? 8. How has club work helped the other members of your family‘.J to 1!
