And brides, big and little, most alive
And maybe elephants and cats and just

BOYS and Their Mothers.
Tell me something to write for the
woman's page this week" said the edi-
tor of this department to a bright young
man in our office.
DO YOU want it to reach the boys
and girls or the mothers?" he inquired
in return. The mothers"
Well, then, tell them not to worry
so much about their boys"
Not worry about their bOys?" ex-
claimed the editor aghast. why. my
DEAR don't you know that is what moth
ers are for? They can't help worrying,
they wouldn't be happy if they didn't
Aren't you glad you have a mother to
worry over you? I'm sure | don't know
what YOU mean
Now the aforesaid young man is
graduate of the high school, ambitious,
full of life and energy, a model of be
havior in the office, where he is a gen
eral favorite, and where he has risen
from the role of office boy to very
responsible position He is fond of
athletics. baseball and other diversions,
including amateur theatricals, and is
free from the common vices of many of
our rising generation, He is also
fond of his horce and of his mother.
The editor knew all these things. so
she tried to have him explain himself.
It's just this way" he said, I'VE
boys like to go out in the evening. You
see we have so many things to attend
to: and of course time passes very
quickly, and it is II or II o'clock, some
times later before we realize it, Now
our mothers have been in bed for two
or three hours-at least | know mine
has-and | hate to think of her waken-
ing up and listening, waiting to hear me
come in. And why does she always
imagine, if | am not at home by her
bedtime, that l have been run over by
an auto, knocked down by a highway
man, lnyelgled into gambling den or
run in by a policeman as a case of
mistaken identity? If 1 were in the
habit of drinking or playing cards or

her fears, but as | always appear sooner
or later, right side up, with care |
can't help thinking she might save her
self much vexation of spirit if she would
only rest in peace and feel that | am
all right
y wonder why old people always
forget that they We're young once
upon a time and did the very same
things we do, and which now so per-
pick and annoy them? If we are
not guilty of breaking any of the
ten commandments or the laws of
the state we surely ought to be trusted
to behave ourselves and not get into
trouble. We will not be young very
long and we will have plenty of time
to become sedate business men i'm
mersed in our ledgers or our enterprises
every day filed with toll of some kind,
hghtlng for place in the ranks of the
successful ones, when perhaps our chief
pleasure will be in recalling the old,
care-free days of boyhood. Let us be
boys while we can and enjoy what we
may"
"A good argument from your point
OF view, said the editor but now look
at the other side. You are your mothers
only boy. She has watched over you
IN your cradle, cared for you through
your school days and though you are now
man. to her you will always be a
hn. l. Il.
stu exercise loving watchfulness to see
that You come to no harm. She does
trust YOU in a way, but she will never
overcome the fear that some evil may
happen to you. She will always feel
that way az long as you i've and you
should be thankful that wherever you
are one heart in the world carries you
IN II It and prays for your welfare"
80 | am replied the irrepressible
youth but all the same please tell our
mothers not to worry so much about
us, Northwestern Agriculturist.

Teaching Child at Home.
\ mother who writes TO The Woman's
Home Companion is not so convinced as
some people seem to be of the advan-
ages of that great American institution.
The public school. She does Lot even
recommend a private school. 1t is the
nome school that she has chosen for her
laughter. The little girl was sent to
school at the usual age, and had the
good fortune to be put in charge of an
IDEAL teacher, but the experiment proved
10 unsatisfactory that she was with
,irawn in few weeks and now does her
lessons at home
There were so many children that the
teacher could give little individual atten-
non to any of them. and as some of
lnem were not so bright as others, the
