AS class. doubtless, mothers.in-
law are too rudely treated by the
purveyors of humor and satire and
not sufficiently honored. They may
be interested to learn that President
Smith OF the Mormon church, who was
conspicuous witness in the Smoot
case, and probably has had as large
an experience with mothers-in-law as
any living American, is their ardent
ally. He says the custom of ridicul-
ing them is contemplate, and adds:
THE best friends l ever had were
my mothers-in-law. l loved and hon
ored them and shall ever hold their
memories sacred. They were true
women and were worthy of their
daughters" Perhaps some women
will think this last sentence conveys
q doubtful compliment.

1t is not the least but one of the
ton that the woman Of to-day does
know herself much better than did
her mother or grandmother, and with
that seif-knowledge comes a better
understanding of her relations to the
world about her. The college girl of
to-day is healthier, stronger, saner
more independent, more resolute and
more useful than were the social but
terflies or the household drudgeS of
her grandmother's time. In the ex-
perimental stages OF this new develop
ment there may have been danger,
but the education of the body as well
as OF the mind is now looked after
In all our girls colleges, indeed, much
better than in colleges for the other
sex.
