This cruel war against the absent
minded married who are forgetting to
have children bids fair to decrease the
pug dog population as we'll as reduce
the waiting list of the old bachelors
union. Celibacy and forgetfulness
promise no longer to be popular. Staid
benedicts and buxom danes who have
been reveling in the clattery gallop of
the society bride path have been re-
minded there is nothing in that beau
tiful sentiment: What is home with
out a mother" If there is no nursing
bottle in the domicile and no yowl in
the nursery. We can't have mothers
without babies, although we can have
babies without mothers after the first
throes of parentage. Thus it is barely
possible that the society woman may
yet weep for jealousy of the mother
of nine children and a naughty stare,
and begin to recruit our army ere it is
yet too late. Yesterday we were
