THE PASSING OF MOTHER.
Her Patient, Cheerful Face, Her
Obsolete Notions, Her Thrift,
Her Folded Hands When
Resting and Her Gen
uine Piety Have all
Gone Out.


Where is the old fashioned mother,
who used to tn cll us up in bed at night
after we had said our prayers; who
spank ed us when we needed it, and
then cried with US over the pain; ;whose
charity for our faults was infinite, and
who, as we came up more and more
into a consciousness of lite, was an
unfailing receptacle for all our trou-
bles?
Some OF her is on an excursion to
California; some Of her is in Europe.
Some is attending an afternoon session
at the Woman's Club; soma 10 besieg-
ing modern intelligence Office; some
is drinking in the odor OF cylinder oil
at 40 miles an hour. and some is play
ing bridge.
Mother, while she lasted, was good
thing, but the necessity for her is now
past. Her patient, cheerful face, nsr
obsolete notions, her thrift, her folded
hands when resting and her genuine
piety have all gone out.
We realize now our mistake. She
meant well, but she didn't know. We
think of her with that kindliness, that
hearty sympathy. that broad minded
tolerance which we are ever ready to
accord to sincerity, even Though it is
misplaced. And then it must be re-
membered that at the time she existed
there was in reality a necessity for
some one like her. We didn't know
so much then as we do now. We were
more or less dependent on mother, as
crude as she was.E Now, however, that
we are educated SO early, and there is
so much enlightened method about
everything, we really don't need help
from home. The newly born infant
will soon be able to rise from his crib
and go himself to the nearest hospital, =,
where he will have his tonsils removed,
be properly vaccinated and inoculated
with the latest serums, and go back to
the push button and radiator all ready
for business.

The play is fresh from the pen OF Mr..

The story is bristling with surprises,

eager to see how the characters solve
the problem.
Of course love triumphs eventually
in spite of all obstacles and all deparl
