N w York. April l22.-The change was
cd before me in rather an odd way.
maternal parent was educated in the
school-that school which teaches that
M cannot command unless you are able
fill YOUR own orders; that there must
lvavs be shown a certain respect to any
hing masculine. and there must always
orne from ANYTHING masculine the utmost
svmpathy and most perfect consideration
n a. lady. OF course, this school is old
Fashioned nowadays, but it was a good
schooI. and school that taught its grad
hates to be good housekeepers, devoted
mothers and faithful wives. 1t was
Ischool in which the word divorce" was
counted decidedly improper for young
4 ladv to speak Since when God himself
limited two people together in the holy
|bonds of matrimony until death did them
mart. there was no suggestion that these
|two even if they had made a mistake,
could be separated by civil laws. 1t is
TRUE that. occasionally, when a woman
Mad borne brutality, unfaithfulness and
drunkenness from a man il was permitted
fher. if the living with him caused a scan
hittle children with her; but no social law
never limited at the possibility of either
zof these two people marrying again. In
fact, how could they marry again? Then,
Moo the woman who had suffered much
before she left the man whom she had
Chosen to be her husband and the father
BIZ her children, though given a certain
sympathy, never quite reclaimed her po-
eition among the other matrons, for it
was believed she ought to have shown
more wisdom in the beginning. Harsh?
Wen, perhaps It was; but in those days
people MARI ied for better or for worse,
and not Merely to enjoy each others So
eiety for a short time and then to sepa-
hate.
BIT all this is getting away from what
Try maternal parent said We were at a
luncheon, the table was charmingly deco
Eated although l confess to not caring for
ribbons as table trimming, since all it's
decorations, with the exception of the
blowers, should assert themselves as be-
&ing capable of standing hard rubbing and
3plenty of soap and water q do not mean
that hard rubbing should be given to fine

tover and we were back in THE Hut" my
maternal parent surprised me by saying:
My dear, l think 1 shall write a note to
Theodore, asking her to send me the re-
cpe Tor that cream soup, becaus it's the
first time I've ever seen you enjoy soup
OF that kind / did not want to laugh
at her. for she's bit tender hearted. In
little while she got out the writing inn
Pements, wrote her request in her simple
quaint fashion, sealed the envelope with
YAK, and sent it on its mission. Then 1
Aed her: DO you suppose that your
astess knows anything about the making
" that soup? 1t either came from some
amous restaurateur, or her chef composed
but no matter how it had its birth, she
tl be more surprised at getting your
rter than if you asked her for one of
N babies"
But" continued my mater, chow can
pod housekeeper give orders unless she
ply understands the manner Of their ex-
eutlon! And, if, as you say, her chef
,ade 1t, then l know exactly what she
III do. She will go to the kitchen arm
with bit of paper and a pencil, ask
I'm for the desired information, write 1t
own very carefully and l shall get it,
Fooably by the next mail" Again l
ughed. And my mother said: II wish
pu wouldn't laugh in that way; it isn't
sspectful"
Mater" answered 1. in my most re-
Feetful tone, IF Theodore asked her chef
teach her anything about cooking, he
.ould, with the greatest promptness, noti-
her of his immediate departure The
