Dorothy Dir Quote. Mrs. p'..4.''
She Discusses Mothersinlaw.

just naturally hate his motherinlaw,
unless he can't forgive her for having
suffered and toiled and sacrificed and
spent sleepless nights and weary days
bringing up a wife for him.. 1t isn't
much of compliment to a woman for
her husband to hate his motherinlaw-
It looks like he had it in for her for
having provided him with a wife.
"You would think that If a man had
a spark of love in his heart for his
wife that he would think that the
woman who had taken care Of her
when she was a baby, who had nursed
her when she was sick, who had worn
old clothes that she might have good
ones, was a woman that he owed
debt of gratitude to that would keep
him hustling to pay to the longest day
he lived.
Like Sore-F<eaded Bears.
"'But instead OF that most Of the
sonsinlaw that 1 know think 1t too
great a strain on them to even be
polite to their wives mothers. and
when motherinlaw comes a-visiting
them they go about looking like early
Christian martyrs and crosser than
sore-headed bears.
and it certainly does set a wife
to wondering If the reason that her
husband entertains such grudge
against her mother isn't because he
wishes that she had smothered GER
tain girl baby in the cradle"
''Mothersin1aw are always butting
in and trying TO run a man." said Mr..
Plunkett, squirming in his chair.
We'll / have seen q lots more sons
iniaw butt into their mothersinlaw's
dining rooms about mealtime and into
their mothersinlaw's bank account
when they needed money, than I ever
saw mothersinlaw Interfere in their
sonsinlaw's affairs, and the funny part
of it is that the very man who lets
his motherinlaw support him, has got
more to say against mothersinlaws
than anybody else"
"T wonder" said Mr.. Plunkett, fill
ing his pipe and speaking in a musing
tone of voice, "I wonder why the good
Lord saw fit to make inlaws,
and snakes and mosquitoes and such
like pests"
Well" commented Mrs. Plunkett,
there is one time when a motherinlaw
is welcome at her soninlaw's, and
that's when the first baby comes. Then
she doesn't look like an affliction. She
looks like a ministering angel with
soothing syrup in its hand"

tation
Visitor Should Realize When IT is
Time to Make Courteous Exit.
1t is far better to leave the friend
hungry for another visit than so
stated that the thought of a repeti-
ton of the call brings nausea.
After the conversation begins to lag
during a call the visitor should rea-
lie that it is time to go.
The exit should not be abrupt or
hurried, but it should be done in a
graceful, expeditions manner. with no
turning back or dallying after the
adieus have been spoken.
A hostess should not be made to
stand while the caller adjusts gloves
or hat or veil.
These matters should be attended to
before the visitor announces the mo-
ment of departure, or outside the room
after the door has closed.
Learn how to leave room grace
fully and with directness.
1t is a great accomplishment.
And If you attend a large function.
where there are scores of guests,
leave your farewell and thanks for
your hostess, and write her note the
next day, but spare her the strain Of
shaking your hand and saying good
night to you. The custom of French
leave" should be everywhere adopted.
and the custom Of the Orient of shak-
ing your own hand in place of that of
your host is admirable.

lifted to the brow form much more
impressive salute than the .s1ovenly or
harsh manner of grasping the hand of

auctions or in meeting and parting
from our acquaintance, and let US
keep the clasping of hands for lovers

self to the disease from out of which
the symptoms spring.
We Can Learn Something by Studying
Our Canadian Neighbors.
We could learn something in this
respect by studying our neighbors
across the Canadian line They are
distinctly a law and order people,
which we are not. They have a con-
seriousness of authority and respect
for it. That consciousness and respect
constitute the laws effectiveness
Crime is felt to be an offense not
simply against the statute, but against
the public which declares itself in the
statute. 1t is. therefore, taken for
granted that the laws will be obeyed
and that violation of them means ar
rest and that arrest means conviction
and punishment
1t is all founded on the prevalence
of the legality of the public mind, the
soundness of the public conscience
They have, up there, law forblddmg
the sale of liquor at any time between
Z o'clock Saturday night and o'clock
Monday morning. and it Is enforced
In the year 1909 in one province Of
the Dominion, there were 129 arrests
for violation of excise. Out of the 129
there were 125 convictions. In another
province, out of 16S arrests for the
same offence, there were 15S conyic-
tons
BY consulting the statistics of crime
and arrest recently furnished by the
commissioner in command of the Roy
al Northwestern Mounted Police, the
reader will discover that the figures
run about the same way in other lines
OF offence.
This is not saying that the Canadian
police are by nature, any more COM
petent than our own or that Canadian
judges are naturally more loyal to
their judicial obligations than those
who sit in our courts 1t is simply
saying that Canada has a conscience
sufficiently clear in it's intuitons, and
sufficiently urgent in it's exactions to
become the handspring of action In
Canadian administration, working with
the power of an intangible but ire
sistible influence in all the ongoingS
of legislative, executive and judicial
life.
The Awful Responsibility of the Men
Who May Declare War.
There is no such terrific responsible
ity ever assumed by any man, or body
of men, as that which is exercised in
determination upon war between two
Christian nations. Such determination
may turn upon the decision of a single
mind.
We cannot, at this date, consider

n Under a government like our
own, when criminals go unde-
~ tected, we blame the police, and
when detected criminals go unpunish-
ed. we charge 1t to the courts.
1t is easier to attribute results to
some cause that is immediate and
obvious, than to trace them back to
conditions that are more remote and
less apparent.
Even granting that detective work
is a science, the science will not be
practiced by the police force unless
there is something impelling thereto
lying outside of the members of the
force--and. granting that it is the
function of the courts to deal with
suspects accoring to the requirements
of enacted law, they cannot be count
ed upon to discharge that function I'M
less reused to 1t by some influence
other than the statute book of their
oath of office.
The Spirit of the People Must Be the
Power Behind the Law.
Policemen will catch criminals when
impelled to it by the pressure of pub
lie sentiment; and when the male
factors have been caught they will be
convicted If they are guilty, and pun
ished if they are convicted, provided
the motive power moving the judicial
machinery is not simply the mind Of
the bench and the jugdment Of the
jury, but the collective and determin-
alive spirit of the people.
The public will have just what It
wants, and the character of the work
done by the three departments of
government will be according to the
intelligence of the general mind and
the tone of the general conscience.
While 1t is true that the apparent
reason for the nonenforcement of GER
tain statutes in New York city is that
the mayor has no interest In seeing
them enforced, the fundamental rea-
son for 1t is that existing statutes are
rendered powerless by the withheld
support of public sentiment.
If they had the distinct demand
OF the people back OF them, the mayor
would enforce them and could not help
himself. The moral sense and will
of the people are above law, for they
make law and make courts and execu-
tives; and, when we criticise the de-
.linquency Of public officials without
taking into account that their acts
are, as a rule. level with the intellec-
tual and moral condition of the peo-
pie that they represent and from
whom all their authority Is derived,
we do the same thing that a physician
does when he doctors the symptoms OF
his patients instead of addressing him
