An IDEAL RELATIONSHIP

| 1t is told of Elizabeth. consort oil
Alexander i, of Russia, that when she
was in the throes of her last illness her
one desire was to go to the home OF
her husbands mother there to end her
days in the arms of the woman who
had formed big part of her world
The empress, a German princess, had
been in poor health for years before
she died. and when it had seemed as il
her life were fitting speedily away
she had been sent to the mountains,
where she seemed to regain much lost
ground. Shortly after, the emperor's
health broke down and he, too, went to
Taganrog, and here he died.
During this period the most beauti-
full of affectionate correspondence was
kept up between the sick woman and
her husbands mother; and after the
death of the emperor the bereaved and
sorely stricken woman set out TO make
the long and tedious journey back to
st. Petersburg, that she might bask in
the tender sympathy of her mOther-in-
law, and have her ministrations in her
twilight hours. But fate halted her on
the way, for at a little village far from
home she died.
From these scant details. the imagin-
alton fills in the picture of a friendship
too sacred to be broken by any of the
petty affairs of life and of a compan-
ionship as beautiful as it is rare. And
yet this is just the sort of relationship
that should exist between a woman
and her husbands mother.
1t seems strange that two women
whose affections have centered on one
human being in the hottest. of ties
should be so often at enmity. IL seems
almost sacrilegious to think of anything
but the closest amity between two peo-
pie SO situated. and yet one rarely
finds that fine adjustment which means
so much in the family life.
If the mother and the wife of a man
could more frequently meet on a COM
mon ground of concord and cordial
friendship. there would soon be little
left of that ancient bugaboo. the moth
erin-law. Just whose fault 1t is is diff
ficult to determine, but of its existence
there is no doubt.
Most young women upon marrying
are. quite likely to resent the Advice of
the mother in-law as an unwarranted
interference, when it is only intended
as help to her in her untried sphere
of home making. Frequently it is
the mother-in-l law who long ago made
up her mind that there was no girl in
the world good enough 10 be her sons
wife, and when he does select one, pro-
ceeds to pick out the flaws in her char |
acter and to hold them up as positive |
defects when all that is needed TO |
transform her into perfection is lit
tie of the right sort of direction and
even coddling by the older woman.
II the mothers of men could only |
through recollection of |
her own experience-the difficult posi-
ton of the girl who marries and is alb
sorbed in another family, there would
be less hard feeling between daughter

tionships that existed between Eliza
beth of Russia and her husbands
mother. There are lots of similar
cases today. but there should be more
