Instead-rise at your usual time, soap

let them soak for half hour; rub lightly,

You'll find that Fels-Naptha removes

mother of today wonders how h is
going to provide the sports and games
which will make normal the life of her
shut-in sons and daughters.
Therefore il would seem that modern
motherhood has to do somewhat with
things outside of the home. She can
not sit content in the traditions of the
past and fulfil her maternal obliga-
tions. She cannot pursue a round OF
social duties and leave to more
thoughtful women the working out OF
the questions which will contribute to
the welfare of the youth of the coup
try. The parks of a city and its play
grounds, the ventilation of schooihouses
and the proper placing of ire-escapes
these are the things to be looked after
by the modern mother. Not for her is

baking, those were the home duties OF

classes, child labor and a dozen other
topics are worthy of her best hough

If you have not. who hasf women
form today a large leisure lass. Many
of them use this leisure IN soclai
pursuits. How much time do you waste
in PLAYING bridge? Do you fritter
away valuable hours in the shops? Do
you call yourself purely dttaestic be-
cause you refuse to enter into anything
which you deem unfeminine?'
Let me tell you this, that a woman@is
not domestic. Is not a home-keeper. Is
a successful mother. who joins
morning card clubs, or who wastes days
in the selection of a spring hat or the
buying Of a gown. Yet there are thou
sands OF mothers who have no more
serious pursuits than these. Where are
their ideals? What are they giving
their children that is vivid or vital!
What emphasis are they putting upon
the blessedness of work? What i'm

worth while?

A Modern Mother


forceful mother, who had ruled her
household with a rod of iron. From
that mother the daughter had gained a
certain h~ousewifely EXPERIENCES. She
knew all of tho things which made the
domestic machinery run smoothly.
House cleaning in the spring and again
In lie fall, the putting up of preserves
in the summer, the sewing on white
garments in the winter. all the regular
and effective routine of the perfect
housekeeper. When she married she
left the small town. where she had
been brought up. and went to a big city.
There she lived in a sumptuous apart
ment. In this apartment her. children
were born. She kept two servants and
tried TO follow in her mothers foot
steps.
But I found that the things my
mother did We're not the things that I
must do" she told me. Even when
my babies were tiny tots ! was faced
with problems that my mother had
never ever considered. Where were
they to get fresh airf On city streets?
The nurse-maid wheeled them back
and forth on stone pavements. That
was their only opportunity for sun
shine and life-giving breezes. One day
a very busy woman came to me and
told me hat the women of her neigh
bodhood were starting a movement to
have a certain vacant lot turned into
a playground. She wanted me to come
to a meeting and thus help the cause.
l declined; my mother had never had
anything to do with things which she
considered mems affairs. When the
playground became a fact my children
shared the benefits Of it. They we're
safe In that enclosure, which was over
looked by a caretaker. They worked
off their superfluous energy, which
confined in the walls of my apartment
might have found a more dangerous
outlet. Yet l had not done this thing
for them. other women had done 1t.
I began to see dimly what l had to do.
My faculties were not to be expended
in preserving and picking, in mending
and darning. These things could be
done by others, 1 had to think of the
more important things which pertained
to their minds and souls as we'll as to
their bodies"
This awakening must come to all
modern mothers IL they would be
effective in their high office.

Red BlOtches on Her Face.
Dear Miss Doom

Dear MISS Doom:
VIII you kindly tell me how to cure
red blotches on my face which appear
from time to time? I hav tried wash
ing my face with warm borax water
and then applying cold cream, but they
seem redder the next morning. Thank
ing you in advance for your kindness,
! am A STAR READER.
The red blotches may be caused by
indigestion. / would suggest that you
be particular about your diet. abstain
ing from rich pastries and gravies for
awhile. 1t might be well for you to
get some sulphur tablets at the drug
store and take two a day for ten days.
Instead of using borax water try per-
oxide, a teaspoonful to a cup of water.
You might also try rubbing talcum
powder on the blotches, allowing it 70
remain over night.
