A Mothers Reasoning
l miss the little, laughing baby faces,
The loving eyes that always turned to
me:
miss the roguish ways and elfsh graces
Of little forms that clustered at my
knee
OF rosy lips that left such happy kisses
Upon my everything cheek and brow,
And, OH the thousand nameless joys
and bliss,
That once 1 had, but only dream of
now,
And yer I know full well If Time could
bear me
Back to the days Of proud young moth
erhood.
I'd miss the gentle presence ever near
me
Of those who as my grown-up babies
stood.
To be without my boys strong reassur-
ance,
To be without my girls sweet sym
patty
Would go beyond my hearts most firm
endurance,
Fen though my babies chung again to
me!
Wen, motherlike. I miss the bonny
tresses
That lay upon my breast in tangled
Yet 7 would die to lose the love that
blesses
My whole life, in my grown-up boy and
girl. The Presbyterian Journal
The New York Press is entitled the
credit for the following reflections of an
old bachelor:
If thin woman is RICH she Is only
slight.
The closer you get to her the more far
away look girl gets.
A mans ambition is to be noted; a wo-
mans to be noticed.
No man knows what II means to sue
coed with a woman till he has failed with
one.
\ woman can conceal her age but when
n man plays golf he has got to show his
legs.
The best way for a woman 90 get rid OF
man she doesn't like her husband to
like. is to treat him too nice.
There is never any hope for a man after
his wife gets so she thinks she can pick
out his clothes best for him.
If a man apologized to company for his
wife's cooking half as much as she does
herself, she would go home to her moth
er.
Half the time when man lies 10 his
wife. he does il because he knows he
| can get up q story that win sound a lot
more reasonable to her than the truth.
| The woman of to-day does not tell her
| husband everything she does. This is not
at If 1,ltf CHI,
| assure the husband who has found his
| wife out that he is not alone. Some years
ago it would have been thought monstrous
for woman to have an income derived
! from a source kept secret from the man
| she has sworn 10 love, honor and some
times obey, but to-day such a thing ex-
! cites little remark.
Yet with all the progress of recent years
! in this direction It Is rare that a woman
! has become famous without her husband s
/ knowledge. Such a case, however, is of
record. A young London solicitor recent-
| ly found himself in financial difficulties
! owing to a fall in Keffir shares. in which
| he had speculated rather rashly shortly
! before war in South Africa became a GER
| tainty.
Like many husbands, he never troubled
| his wee with his business affairs until his
| position became so omlnous that he felt
| il would be only right to warn her of the
! crash which seemed inevitable. Having
! learned the exact amount of money necss-
! sary to cover the deficiency. she astonish-
/ ed him by offering 10 find the money with
| in three hours. Explanations followed
! and he discovered for the first time that
! his wife had secretly devoted all her leis-
! ure to novel writing and had met with
| such astonishing success that she had
| three novels published under a masculine
nom de plume in four years and had real
| lied from them more than twice the sum
| necessary TO save the situation. The rea-
son for the secrecy was that she had
| written the first novel TO surprise her
! husband and when he read IL upon publ
cation he expressed so poor an opinion or
| II that she resolved 10 keep her secret as
| long as possible. But the success her
novel met decided her to continue writing
and she has now, needless to say, the
most hearty encouragement from her hus-
band.
An unfortunate enlargement was caus-
ed bv an army officer discovering, upon
bis recall from India that his wife had
secert1y gone into business during his
long absence from home. Although wo-
man moving in the best society and pos
sessed of an enormous circle OF friends
she had successfully launched herself in
to trade without the knowledge of any of
her acouaintances, taking over a modest
cigar store in street not far from
cbafteshnrv avenue where her beautiful
| face which was famous in the best draw
| ino-rooms in London, attracted innumer-
| ahIe customers, any one of whom might
nave been an intimate friend and exposed
the whole business.

ae her private engagements permitted

So Eve was detected, which occurred in
