CHATTER.

(Being the personal opinions of the
writer and for which no one else is
in any manner responsibility.
James Edward Foye is the name of
young man who lives in New York
City; who draws a salary of between
$4,000 and $4,000 per year, yet who
declines, in a most brutal manner, to
support his mother who is a widow.
The old woman has called on him
three or four times of late to appeal
for aid, but each time he has turned
her away. Il am sick and tired of
being annoyed by her" he says. 81
was born of her, but it wasn't my
fault. She's crazy. | only know her
as my fathers divorced wife" Now
what do you think of a man like that?
Wouldn't you give five dollars per
minute for a ten minute session with
that upstart in a basement where
there was plenty of room and no in
reference. Just imagine what a good
time man could have hitting that
pusillanimous cur right on the end of
the nose, in the eye, on the point of
the jaw and under the ear until he
went down and out.
Now that young monkey must have
some reason, other than those ex-
pressed. Giving him all the best of
the argument, it may be presumed
that this old woman, came to want
in her old age, may have caused the
elder Foye some mental angu sh.
may have been a termagent; an ex-
pensive ne'er do well; gossiping
jade "a gross sinner against her vows
of chastity maybe. But not all the
crimes in the calendar; not all the Of.
| lenses against society could keep her
out of the heart of a son who had
the least spark of manhood in his
breast after viewing her condition.
Born of her body, nursed by her
through the trying times of infancy;
cared for by her; watched over LAY
and night for weary weeks and months
had she abandoned him when he was
just beginning to toddle, the debt he
would have incurred would have been
great enough to warrant his cheerfully
contributing to her support in her de-
Ginning years. Aye, had she been the
lowest strumpet that ever walked in
the gutter, she is his mother and it is
incumbent upon him to make her lat
ter days peaceful This fellow had his
mother arrested for annoying" him.
He threatens to have her arrested
again. IF she was in the hospital l
would not give her nickel. do not
care what happens to her." All this
in Christian New York A city where
a thousand spires point heavenward
showing men the house not made with
hands; a city where a thousand
preachers daily labor with their fellow
men to lead better lives; city where
Christian societies flourish and where
good men and good women do their
best to uplift humanity. Well, it is
plainly evident that none of the talk
ever reached this animals heart; that
there is nothing sacred in the heaven
above or the earth beneath to him.
Because when a man goes back on
his mother, there is no use talking
| about redeeming him. The lowest

unless perchance his rotting carcass
poisons some decent worms.


Fdespair drive him to self murder.
Then let his infested corpse be dumped
into a hole and covered lest it pol
lutte the land. At every door where
he appeals for aid the same treat
ment he accorded this infirm old moth
er ought to be extended him. When
he asks for drink to cool his feyered
frame and quench his burning thirst
it should be denied him; when he
asks for bread none should be given
Let him roam and roam always seek
ing and never finding always asking
and never receiving.
There is something so sacred to
even the lowest of us, about the name
of Mother that when we hear it
spoken we always experience feeling
CT reverence and love for the memory
of that dear woman now sleeping so
quietly beneath the green sod of the
little cemetery, oh so far away. We
forget that she was human, like the
rest of us, and remember only that
she was an angel in her ways. We
recall the many nights when she
hung over our little cots and crooned
us to sleep, and we many times have
visions of babyhood and feel her pure
sweet warm kisses upon our lips in
slumber. The memory of the dear
old face arises at times before us
when sick and tired with the turmoil
of life, and all of it's attendant strug-
giles, and we catch ourselves saying
With the sweet singer-long ago laid
to rest:
| your flight:
Make me a child again just for to-
| night;
Mother come back from the echoless
shore,
Take me again in your arms as of
| yore.
Press from my forehead those fur
rows of care
Smooth the few silver locks out of my
| hair;
Over my slumbers your loving watch
| keep;
Rock me to sleep, Mother, rock me to
| sleep"
| And we dream of the dear old Moth
or we often think that nothing she
could have done would have alienated
our affections from her. No crime she
could have committed; no offense she
could have INDUCED in would have
lessened our love, for we would have
ever been ready with some excuse for
her conduct. She might have erred
in many ways but to us she would
have been the same dear, loved and
loving Mother.
And thinking as we do of the dear
one now beyond the skies, when we
see or hear of a man mistreating the
fountain of his existence, we grow
wroth and wish we had the reckoning
with him. There isn't man who has
read the story of James Edward Foye
who doesn't feel a loathing, a con-
tempt, a righteous Indignation; there
isn't a man who doesn't ache to punch
his head; to mash his face and the
stronger the mother love in the man,
the harder he would hit him. Oh,
won't some man, or men, born of
woman give this creature what he de.
serves? Will not the law, that hand
maiden of Justice, bring him to book =?

way, rebuffing the Door. hungry old

1t is none too soon for prospective sum-

introduced into such wares this spring and
certainly the comfort and convenience of
the traveller have never been more care

A noticeable feature of all the new trunks

of extremely light trays and shelves to
which articles, both large and small. may
be securely fastened by means of many
slender straps. These trays are simply fiat
pieces Of strong pasteboard covered with
linen or silk to match the lining Of the bag

Silk Redingotes.

Among the earliest ideas for spring coats
is the taffeta redingote, very ample as to
skirt, with small sleeves and draped bodice.
In shot taffeta 1t Is smart trimmed with
velvet to match or of contrasting becom-
ing shade However fashioned, it is coat
to be worn with style and should only be
essayed by those of slim figures. A charm

evolved from champagne silk. with prune

ger features is short coat of taffeta show
ing an undulating basque. 1t opens in front

large rosettes with rose centers are en-
ployed in lieu of buttons.
No matter how many costumes one has,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-04-01

a smart separate coat Of the tailored per-
suasion Is an Indispensable adjunct OF a
spring wardrobe. For a long time the covert
jacket has met this need. but we have
become a little tired of its temperance
each year: but, like the Greeks, 1t comes
in the sartorial procession this spring. To
be sure, Its line is little different; but. on
the whole, the coat is practically un-
changed. A number of these covert jackets
are being made for smart women; conse-
quently they will receive certain cachet.
The new covert has three Tapped and
stitched seams down the back and two
down the front reaching from shoulder to
hem. 1t Is single breasted and curves In
becomingly at the waist and has turnover

plaits which form the skirt. The bolero
jacket hangs loose over coatlike vest of
white cloth fastened with double row OF
large dull gold buttons. The bolero Is
trimmed in rather wide white and black
braid, the motif on each side of the fronts
sleeves are plated from a deep shoulder
cap and finish with ruffieS of lace al the
hands.
Of Beige Yelling.
Another new gown is of beige yelling.
From yoke edged with a design in black
velvet of battlemented squares outlined
with soutache braid and small buttons the
skirt falls in impressed plaits. Immediately
at the bottom is a band of chine silk, and
above this is repeated the velvet design in
braid and buttons. An empiecement of
chine silk fits around a lace choker. The
bodice box plaits form a cloth yoke car
slightly into a waistband of chine silk.
The leg of mutton sleeves are also finished
with a band of silk just below the elbow.
A stunning third costume carries out the
popular three-tiered jupe each founce in
set with lace motifs. The short basqued
coat has a sleeve cut ensemble with the
shoulder and ornamented with a motif of
lace. small waistcoat buttons neatly
