Motherless.
There is no other word in the Ian
guage full of so much sorrow.
But, on the whole, was glad for
my visit. Here was the cry of the
motherless being heard and answered
in my day.
Ever read the story of Michelangelo
and the street urchin?
Everybody in his day knew the
great. kind hearted artist. And so on
one occasion a little street waif con-
fronted Michelangelo with pencil and
a piece of paper and besought the art
list to make picture
Miehelangelo loved children, and he
sat down there on the curbstone and
made a picture for the boy. Would
the sketch had been preserved!
Now, you would predict that an APP
peal from child would touch the heart
Of big man like the great painter.
But
In Michelangelo's day there were no
orphan asylums worthy of the name.
In his day parents might sell their
children as bond slaves and often did
so. and the child slavery of that time
is full of cruelty and sometimes death.
Why. even within the memory of old
men in England the child was chat
tel, the property of the parent. espe-
cially the father
Orphan asylums and homes for
friendless children and humane socie-
ties are the indices of this age. your
age and mine. the best and brightest
epoch in the worlds sad history.
Let me put this picture over against
that Of Michelangelo and the boy:
Theodore Roosevelt stood on the real
platform shaking hands with a great
crowd of people. Looking beyond the
crowd, he saw on its outskirts for
lorn little figure of girl who looked
timidly and hopefully toward him
Theodore Roosevelt was president OF
the United States. but
Pushing aside the throng. he jumped
down, made bis way to the little maid
and, after shaking her hand, took his
boutonniere from his coat and gave it
to the little one.
There is the difference between the
age of Michelangelo and the age of
Theodore Roosevelt.
Here and there in the former days
man might sometimes stoop to please
a boy; in our day philanthropy pushes
aside the elders to make its way to
the forlorn little ones.

Well, perhaps Mary is not lady of
the Mrs. Powell class. but at heart
and in reality she is very much of a
lady.
And were she to undertake the socie-
ty role she would after awhile get used
to the hard work. and the dissipation
of the Mrs. Powell sort.
And she gradually would grow ac-
customed to the indecency of extreme
oecollete gowns.
And she would forget to worry about
the hungry people she could feed by
the sale of $3.50 gowns. She could do
all this by hardening her heart. by
bunting her keen sensibilities.
But this Mary, like the one in the
New Testament, has chosen the better
part.
She has no cali to worry about social
standing or the ways of exclusive
cliques. She need not dress every
time she eats. She need not fuss and
fume over her maidseryants and man
servants. She can go to bed when she
gets tired and without fearing bur-
glars may get her jewels And
But why catalogue the woes of the
very rich and socially ambitious?
Mary has chosen the better part.
She can retain her native modesty and
her bright eyes and glowing cheeks
and by and by marry some honest
Irish lad and be happy.
And out of her slender means or
hourishing plenty she can sometimes
feed the poor whose distresses touch
her gentle and compassionate heart.
Yes; Mary has chosen the better
part.
