THE WOMAN'S CORNER.

SINS OF THE MOTHERS.

[Br ETHEL MANNIN, THE

NOVELIST.]

The affair of a young girl who recently drowned herself in distress at her mother's well-meaning at tempts to frustrate her love affair is one of those constantly recurring tragedies of youth from which no one ever appears to learn a lesson. In this particular tragedy it was stated, in evidence, that the girl had cried to her friends of her mo thor's interference. The heart- broken. mother-no less tragic than the girl herself-explained that as her daughter had complained to her of her sweetheart's conduct she felt he was not a suitable person to be "walking out" with her daughter.

When, "oh when, will human be inge cedar torturing each other for their own alleged good? When will age remember "what it means to be young and in latel

We do not love people for the good in them, nor can we cease to fove them when we discover the bad in them. The girl in this story of love evidently had no illusions about her lover; she had herself complained to her mother of his behaviour.

She was wounded and unhappy, and her love was drained of joy but pain and disillusion could not destroy her love-for she was a wo- TOT man, and women have a peculiar

gift for loving selflessly like that.

Because she loved, she could not endure that any one should attempt to come between her and her lover; she was young, and a woman, and in love, and death was preferable to parting from the beloved.

That may sound melodramatic; it may be old-fashioned it, may be trite, it may be a cliche, but it is nevertheless most profoundly true, that youth will be served against all the counsels of age, against all argumenta, against all quotations of experience.
