PART I..
Th-iugh seven years had passed,
Mrs. Andrew irlitc11e11 remembered
detail c:f her daughter Muriel's wed-
ding photogra:phieally.
She remembered what a pang : it
gave her that it was the hand of
Muriel's old'nuree, Norah Fagan, and
not her own hand, that bestowed the
last straightening -out twitch to Mur-
iel's white gratin train as it rippled
from the vestibule into theaisle to
the wedding march from "Lohengrin."
She remembered howv strangely ,
sole/sin Muri•el's father looked as he
saw her daughter going -"ort of her
life almost as though the Angel 'of
Death said; "Come!"
Her daughter in the final hours had
clung., to her and petted her as much.
as the dressmaker, with pins in her
mouth, would permit; had cried and
promised; was fend: andkept repeat-
ing the assurance that she would
never, never go far away or be ab-
sent a long time; but she took the
pr,omese warm on her lips to the
erasure cif a husband's kisses, and
mother and daughter were to meet
thereafter with the first love of the
stored by the bride and gave her away daughter given quite out of her
mothers keeping to the man who took
her for granted; who claimed in a
moment what a mother had been 1ov-
ing and living for all the years. . .
And yet, after the bereaving cere-
mony, Mrs. Mitchell had to stand! at
the reception like et soldier on, the fir-
ing line, through weak as one who after
Minns learns to walk again; and she
had to make her face "smile and her
lips form words and her hands go
through the motions of greeting `:as
the world and his wife filedd past and
variously saluted the bride, her daugh-
to Henry Alderson. It was a father's
hand and not a mother's.
Outwardly thepicture of all
y that
the r9other of a bride should be, Mrs.
Mitchell, through the service that spelt
unspeakable tragedy for her, carried.
an -insurgent Heart and a mind of
mutiny. When the minister uttered
those dreadful words, "if' any man can
show just cause why they may not
lawfully be joined together, let him
rnow speak, c!r else hereafter hold his
Pe -ace," she •felt like crying out from
the turmoil of rebellion in her soul

k\ friend or" mine was recently tell-
�r`;` c1 her experience at a: church rum-
lr rgo sale. There were twenty-five
jal's of string beans o; sale. They
had been -carefully graded, c,leanect,
packed and canned. The dolor was
fresh and bright -• and everyone, wonder-
ed how,1-ny woman could spare such
a generous contribution from: her
pantry.
Peeling that there must be' - some
reason fcr-such a liberal eontribirtion,
the donor of the canned goods was
found and asked, "Why did you give
so runny jars of beans to this sale?"
"Oh, my family had a bean strike
last -week," she explained, "They said
I had served beans about three times
a week all through the fall and that
they served notice then and 'there that
they wouldn't eat another 'bean all
Winter."
Tkus enitnie lady stopped at the gro-
cery store on the tray home anti Pur-
chased two cans of tomatoes. She ex-
plained ained that ehe had • not canned any
tomatoes last season though the fain
ily liked them. Her canis were all

Now, one near see that' this woman
was a poor canner. In spite of the
fact' that she did her work carefully
and scieetifcally she "n.egleoted the
first point in efficient canning"; which
is to have a good practical program
made out 'beforehand. At the begin- I
niiig of the season the home canner
should ask herself these few ques-
t, What varieties of fruits and
vegetables do'niy family like best?
2. About how many of each of these
would make up a good canned food
budget?
3. Can I. plan niy. garden to as+sis't
the efficiency of my canning pro-
gram?
ro-gram?
Working backwards on. these ques-
tion's we find the outstanding fact that
the cheapest foods in: money -east
which a housewife can serve are can-
ned vegetables raised in the hone
garden, and canned when they are •at
their best. The cosi, outside of labor
in" home-grown vegetables, is_ practi-
cally reduced to seed and canningg

ill unto death in the hospital. ; It Was
double pneumonia. Henry Alderson,
the husband, proud and: cold at other
tines, was. frantic with ;anxiety, and
spernt: every':moment he could spare
from 'bus'iness as near his wife as doc-
tors and nurses let him come. Teddy<
and Betty ,;• were staying with their
grandmother against their father's
wi11, -
Before this happened, Henry Alder
sen used to say to the grave 'blue eyes
of his wife; I married you, Muriel;
I didn't marry your family. You're
mine now. You belong;to me. You
are the mother of- my children, ` the
maker of my home." His; -own ego. had
ben:ferever in the. foreground, and he
had striven' to make it clear -to his
wife that her mother must.be content
to. see her daughter now and; then, :and
must keep her. own counsel, and not
interfere --in the twentieth-century up-
bringing of the children. Mothers
themselves were hardily moder°n'.en-
ough for rhe new ideas, and grand-
mothers were hopelessly passe..,
No matter what Grandmother Mit-
chell once had done with Muriel, the
invariable answer :was, that -"They--
whoever they-were—don't do that any
more." '
So Teddy and Betty in their )mo-
ther's illness .came to :their 'grand
mother, and their grandmother ;was
torn between her grandchildren, ir-
repressible in their abounding health
at the threshold of life, and her child
with a foot' on the sill of death's:door.
The twofold, duty was.•all ,but too- much
for one indivisible woman, though her
years were: but fifty-eight. It was
not the physical effort of the journey
to the city hospital that tired her out;
it was the burden on, her heart, not the
bulging satchel on her arm; it -was
the wear and tear of mother love,
grieving day and night, a prey td sud-
