dren who have had no experience ire

of it all It all looks so Deasy, pee

And who is to make them realize:
and appreciate, if not the parents? It
is not fair to the "dear ones" to ale
lowthem to take all this for granted,
"If we allow •ourselves to be left
behind, if we work so bard we are
too tired to take part In the daily,
lives of our children and husbands,,
the letter continued, "they simply;
learn to do without us."
Isn't there a lot of truth tucked
away in those words? Shouldn't
they make allmothers who have tiny,
children think?
I remember a certain Thanksgiving
that shames and grieves me. We did
not have a maid, so Mother cooked
and served a delicious Thanksgiving
dhmar for two guests, and our own
family, After dinner the guests, my
father and I hurried downtown fon
an afternoon's merry -making, leaving
Mother who was not strong to clean
off the table and do the stacks of
dishes. Mother was the one wbo de•
served and should have had the haps
py afternoon. And, now that I have
come to a realization of the many
sacrifices she made and have learned
bow much help I could have been and
would like nothing better than tel
lighten her burdens, it is too late.
That is what the writer of the let-
ter suggested:
"Anel by the time they marry and
have children of their oWn, and learn.
from experience what life means, and
what children mean in:a mother's life
perhaps it is too late; you may have
passed on, and if not, it is still
rather difficult 'to teach old dogs new
tricks'!" •
So the wives and mothers musi
remedy 'this. They should commence
with the husbands at marriage, and
with the children in their very early
years. 51 is really very easy to teach
the children to hang up their wraps,
to run errands, to keep their rooms
tidy, and to do the hundred and one
other little things which inculcate in
them the habit of service and them
sense of responsibility.
A mother, like a child, needs un-
derstanding, love and play. She should
share these and also her household
cares :with ber family. This would
make happier, sweeter -tempered,
younger, and more chartn!rig mothers
the country over, and better and hap-
pier boys and girls.—Issued' by the

Just Like a Scot
The young man and his fiancee were
rushing along the country lane in his
little two-seater car.
She was of an inquisitive nature,
and she decided to ask him a question
that had been puzzling her for some
time,
"John,' she said, "do you know what
Angus' father gave him and his bride
when they got married?"
The young man laughed hollowly.
"Why, yes," he answered; "the old
Scot bought then railway tickets for
theirhoneymoon in Cornwall."
"Well, that wasn't too had of the old
boy," she replied.•
"But that's• not the funny part of it,"
be added. "Angus and his bride didn't
discover until after they got away in
the train that they were only single
tickets."
