have a special thought on this
hapily occasion.. .•
Just think'of all the wonderful
Mothers', celebrated in song and:
story.•
The •first one, of course. was
.Eve. We; don't know too'- much
about her;' as a: mother.' Except.
=that she'; got'us. kicked •out of

• Then there was that Greek
mother, Clytemnestra. .She was
rather a lively • old skirt, who
married .,,he own , 'son, after- he
grew up and killed his dad: ,
was ''so annoyed when, he
found 'Out tha8t his' wife was not
only old enough to .be his•mother,
but WAS his mother, that he is
reported, • .to have plucked. -out•

In Roman' tires, there were.
some dear little old mothers, too.'
Their only fault was an inclina-
tion to spoil their kids., That's
what happened to,. Nero. When
he was: little, he was.. always
playing :with matches Instead of
smacking him, his mother' thought
it "was sort of Cute. Well, you
know what- kids are. Next thing

splendid part in 'moulding ' the
little minds of people like Henry

In many cases, the role that
a good mother . has played has
not been' given its proper, due.,
For example, wehear a lot
about Johann Sebastian Bach,
the composer. But what do, we
know about his wife? That .Bach
had something • like twenty-two
children.
Modern mothers who have 'a
child or two entered in the local
music festival • think they have .a
lot to put up with: Imagine what
Mrs. Bach went through,, with,
all those little devils hammering
allday, on the clavichord chord

are some tender mot`iier,-figures,
