SONE FOOLIS11 WIVES
This statement is axiomatic. Yet.
there ars somo women foolish en-
ough to suppose thut the nem° of
wife and mother ere not niamese
twins and have DO connection or
affiliation. They are so blinded
that they cannot see that the silver
letters of true motherhood are writ-
ten upon the golden background of
true wifehood and that the strong -
.est and best cradle is that cut from
the scented wood of the marriage
altar. Tho duties of maternity
must never supersede or extingtriah
the duties of the wife. There aro
many women who are true wives
until the babies are horn. Then, in-
stead of behtg any longer the com-
fort, the esfIrpanion, the helpmeet of
the trout whom they promised on
their wedding day to live for, they
turn their backs upon their hus-
bands and bury their eeistence in
