Two Kinds Of Mothers.
by wINIFRED BLACK.

An English society woman declares
that II has cost her just s37. 900 to
bring up her daughter of twenty.
l wonder IL either the woman or
the daughter got $4,000 worth Of
fun out OF the business?
What does 1t cost to bring up an
American girl?
IL costs just exactly what her faith
er can afford-and afford easily aid
without too much scheming or too
much sacrifice-and not one penny
more.
The mother or the father who
schemes and plans and plots and wor-
ries to give a son or a daughter adj
vantages which the family can Ill af-
ford might just as we'll teach that
child to dance-and then cut of the
child's feet.
never saw a boy who was edu-
Gated at the expense of his mothers
comfort or his fathers peace of mind
who amounted to ahill of beans when
he got the education.
1 never saw a girl who dressed in
fine frocks bought with her mothers
tears and her fathers blood who was
worth snap of the finger when her
parents were through with her.
L spent couple OF weeks in the
same summer resort with two moth
ers not long ago.
One mother was little and meek
and shabby and hungry. Her son
was loud voiced. conceited and so dis
agreeable that no one in the place
could bear him. Every penny that
the mother could rake and scrape she
spent on that boy. He dressed like
the son Of merchant prince. he
smoked the best cigars. and he took
everything his mother gave him as n
matter of course. He never paid her
the least attention except to turn red
when he saw that people were re-
marking on her shabby clothes. he
never turned red when people re-
marked on his smart outfit. however.
The other mother was delicate and
pretty and gentle and intensely fem
mine. She wore pretty clothes and
she spent good deal of money on
herself.
Her son had earned the money for
his vacation himself He dressed
simply, and he told us that he had
given up the idea of college because
his mothers health was delicate. and
he thought she ought to spend the
winters in the South, so he could not
afford to go away to school. He wor-
SHIPPED the very ground that his moth
er trod upon.
Which boy do you suppose will
turn out to be the better man? Which
woman do you think is the better
mother?
never see woman making a hui
man sacrifice of herself for her chill
dren that do not want to say to her,
Stop" What you call maternal de-
votion will turn out to be the ruin of
your children. You have your life;
you may make your own way. bear
your own sorrows, and run laughing
down the road alone to meet your
own joys. Your children will follow
your example when the time comes.
Let them begin to realize that you
are human being as well as a moth
er, and some day some woman or
some man will rise up and call you
blessed for the character you have
helped to form.-FTom the New York
American.
