1930 The Saloon in the Home
HE WANTS TO BE A LADY I DO love you so, mother," said little Fred, a wide-awake boy who is very fond of his mother. He thinks no one is as nice as she is. He told her that when he grew up to be a man he was going to marry a lady just like her. Another little boy, who is only three years old, loves to be with his mamma more than with anyone else. One day he was watching her as she was doing some work around the house. He noticed how neat and clean she looked,-hair fixed so nice, face so sweet and clean, "sweet enough to be kissed," he said. Then he looked up at her and said, "Mamma, I hope I'll grow up to be a lady!" That made her smile, and she asked him why. She said, "Do you like ladies better than men'?" "Yes!" said the boy, and then he gave her the reason, and what do you think it was'? He said, "Ladies look so nice and clean and they don't smell of tobacco." "Well," said his mamma, "I think men ought to be just as nice and clean as they expect ladies to be. I want my boy to grow up a good, strong man; and if you never touch any tobacco, your lips and mouth can be just as clean as mamma's." L. Penney. "Brave Boys and Gz"rls."
