There comes q time in the life of a
woman when she cOnfrOnts what to
her and her children is an actual
crisis in her motherhood, and upon it's
outcome depends the happiness of
herself and her associations with her
children thereafter, writes Louise ID.
Mitchell. 1t is that period in which
she faces the first compelling instance
OF the maturity of her child.
1t has reached the point at last
where she is shocked into a realization
that 1t is now question of mother
and son, no longer that of mother and
child. 1t is one OF the most pathet-
icaily difficult problems of mother
hood. and every woman who faces it
unexpectedly-as most of them do
deserves the sympathy of all those
who can comprehend what il must
mean to her. 1t is literally abdicatiOn.
She steps down from the position of
ruler into that of 4 familiar minsling
with those whom she has ruled-yet
it is. or at least should be, surrender
with honor.
The girl is always more of woman
than the boy is man. In fact, with
rare exceptions. the boy retains his
bOyishness throughout his life. deep
hidden beneath a thousand cares and
absorbing interests. yet forever crop
ping up to make him dependent upon
a woman's help. 1t is part of the trag-
edy of wOmanhOOd that from her child
hood. when she devOtes her loving lit

shadow of her motherhood. with its
attendant sacrifices. should follow her
throughout her life.
Far beyond into his gray haired ma
turity the boy in the man will feel
the necessity for mother" in his
hours of deep anxiety, when the dis
interested sympathy Of a woman is
the only thing that will sOothe and
understand his need: and when. alas.
