Motherhood is the topic Of a thousand
theosis Of the mother. Yet many a

which celebrate the deep. absolute re-
lation between mother and child, signs

years. She remembers with longing

Sometimes it is even worse. An ac-
tual antagonism grows up between
mother and daughter in the homo where
they must spend their days together.

do not openly acknowledge it-that

their need of anxious care for the little

one of the things ali practical and

The temptation to go outside the
limits of prudence and to yield some

expenditure is very present with wo-
men. Every woman likes to have a
pretty, daintily furnished table, and to
nave 1t appetizingly spread. In these
days of high prices the difficulties as
sailing women are specially great, and
more than ever do they need to bring

she believe for moment that con-

EAFCADIo HEARN's IDEA
OF PATHS SINGING

I.afcadio Hearn, an author whom all
women ought 10 know, said: For me
words have color, form, character. They
have PAGES. ports, manners, gesticula-
tions. they have moods, humors, eccen-
tricities-thcy have tints, tones, per
Bonalites."
AS an instance Of what Lafcadio
LEARN means by his use OF words. his
description or Aclclina PATHS singing
is most felicitous. He describes 1t
thus: There was a great, dim pres
sure, a sitting heat whispering of
silks, a weight Of toilet perfumes. Then
came an awful hush all the silks
stopped whispering. And there sud :
denly swectened out through that dead,
hot air, clear, cool tense thread-g gust
OF melody unlike any sound l ever
heard before, save-in tropical nights
from tho throat of mockinSbird.F 1t

never tremolo or artificc--a mar
yelous, audacious simplicity of utter
ance."
Women in Richmond and Virginia

of her fame, and again when she paid

Of what Hearn says concerning 1t. They
Is, that Mr.. Hcarn's powers Of de-

life is its scnscless eXtravagance.
There is no thought OF hedging in
ambitions by the amount in hand for
the carrying forward of those ambi-
tons. The one idea is to crafty every
whin1. every desire, every inclination
for luxury regardless Of cost reck-
less of responsibility.
It remains for the women Of America
to stem the tide Of this senseless folly.
TO restore matters to their rightful
status and to bring back sanity into
the home by regulating all expenses
In proportion to the money that may
be expended and that can be safely
set aside for the purpose.
