Mrs. Lea will, If she resides here next

Having stepped into a home which was
interesting and prominent after her mar

Nashville, she made q charming hostess

sought pre-eminence in the social world
and her friends predict the same course
here. Her mother always declared that
no woman should permit anything to in

children. and Mrs. Lea shares this view.

We Women-Two Ways Of Keeping Young

who will sit up, take notice and remark
one to another, "Why, see how bright
mother is-she seems almost human
l am frank to say that the results such
as they are, do not appeal to me. And
am almost sure that they do not appeal
to mother.
To be quite frank, they bore mother.
To grow all of a sudden young enough
to play Jacks after having been for an
appreciable time only young enough to
play - er - more mature games has the
tendency to bore almost any one. And
contrary to the general suppoSition in such
cases, mother is some one and not, as has
been so generally supposed. simply the
mother of some one.
Little as it seems to be suspected. even
before she became parent, mother had
reached the dignity of being an individ-
ual.
This being the case. 1t seems hardly
fair to demand of mother that she should
take to being young for the sake of
her children. Why not request her to
remain young for her own sake? Or just
to remain young?
Why. let me demand, should she not
be young?
Why must it be supposed and taken for
granted and expected, and, in fact, abso-
lutely decreed by fate that at this stage
of her development mother will not have
sense enough to go along being you ng
just because she's got the habit?
When mother remains young she Is
just about the most admirable, fasci-
mating, bright, wise, sensible thing you
ever saw.
Her gray hair fits her like a Paris halo.
Her dimity frock white with lavender
dewdads in 1t, is more becoming than
the coming-out frock OF the debutante.
And If, instead of the simplicities, she
wears buds that make a mere woman's
hair curl from sheer envy. believe me,
not the meanest dispostioned novel writer
who ever described a garden party would
dare to declare that mother was inap-
