At no time in her busy days is an
intelligent mother so apt to fold her
arms and close tho eyes OF maternal
justice as when she is cross-simply
and undoubtedly cross. This cross il
chiefly caused by fatigue, wcarincss OF

demands made upon her. and i'll
temper follows. She sows bitter feel

Broadly speaking. no mother has any
right to get so tired. She cannot af-
ford it. 1t takes too much out OF her
