In the Letter of One Mother
to the Editor,
WHO ASKS DEEP QUESTIONS
Like Many Another She Cannot
Understand Why She Should Be
Deprived of Her Only Baby
While Others Have Scores to
Enter in the Contest.
By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

From out of the land of motherhood.
there came to me yesterday. the first real
note of pathos that has been sounded in
the baby contest, in the form of a little
letter which had neither beginnisg nor
ending
He was so beautiful. so like unto a
flower in purity; the spirit of happiness
and cheer in our little home, and yet
God took him. 1t never seemed so hard
to me until the contest began, and dozens
Of other babies looked at me with merry
eyes every time l opened The Herald.
Their round and rosy faces seem to mock
me in my loneliness, ana make me won
der why my only little one should have
been taken. Where is the justice of it
all. my dear Mrs. Manz?"
That was the little note that came to
me without address and without sigma
:Ure, ending with its heart-breakng ap-
peal.
And it made me think of Eugene Field
lines, which run:
Last night. as nv dear habe lay dead
In agony knClt and said:
20 God what have | done,
Or in what wise offended Thee
That Thou shUudst take away from
My little SON:
Upon the Thousand useless lives
UpOn the guilt that vaunting thriTes,
Thy wrath better sIent
Why >h0uldst ThuI take my little SON.
Why shouds Th0H vent Thy wrath upon
This innocent
Last night my dear babe lay dead
Before miue ewes the vision spread
Ot things that might have been
LiCentiOus mot. cruel strife.
Forgotten Ira,rrs. a wasted life
Dark rcd with sin!
Then. with soft music in the air,
saw another vision there:
\ Shepherd in whose keep
A little lambm little child
OF worldly wisdom undehled,
Lay fast asleep!
Last night as my dear hab, lay dead
In those two messages | read
4 wisdom manifest:
And though my arms he Chililess now,
| am cuntent-tn Him ! bow
Who knowcth best.
Perhaps the mother of one who voiced
the unutterable ache OF her heart in
her letter to me can find in these two
messages the answer to the pulsating
question she asked me, and in the an
swer a vision 50 clear OF that Wisdom
manifest as to be able to take all the
lovely contest babies into her heart with
a love that .s without bitterness.
You see. the whole of life lies before
the hundreds of tots entered in the Bor-
den baby contest. if God grants 1t,
and in the future there are knotty prob
lens awaiting them; long, narrow,
rugged trails to climb and still more
than this, they will not climb their
mountain of life alone, for the heart Of
every mother follows each step; aches
with each faltering or turning back; and
rejoices with eacn difficulty surmounted.
So. dear mother of one, read the two
messages OF the little heart poem, and
take them into your own life to live.
remembering the things that might have
been for your boy had he lived and,
through him. for you.

KNOWLEDGE OF REQUIREMENTS
OF HOUSEWIFERY WILL TEACH
MAN GREATER APPRECIATION

marches soiled linen into the tubs and
back again, and that, perhaps, there is
something. after all, in the feminine
madness for sweeping and dusting.
Still the mans belief remains unshak-
en- that there is no particular work or in
telligence involved in performing these
tasks, and that, while they would be
work for man, they are just play for
a woman.
1t is these hereticaI notions that
course in domestic science will knock out
of the masculine head, and II is for this
reason that 1t will a glad, sweet day
when housewifery takes its place beside
Latin and Greek and higher nathemat-
les in the college curriculum.
Certainly the man who knows, from
actual dealings with the butcher and
baker and grocer, how much food costs.
will not expect his wife to do the miracle
act and fed a family on next to nothing.
Certainly the man who has qualified as
an expert sweeper, and who knows the
back-breaking labor it It is to WELD a
broom, will be more careful where he
drops his cigar ashes and not strew
them from one end of the house to the
other. Certainly the man who has
wrestled with incompetent servants, and
who knows from personal experience
how tricky a gas range can be, and how
1t can lie in wait to bring your best et-
forts at cooking TO naught, will view
with sympathy, and not dlsdalnp MS
wife's culinary blunders.
4 Better Understanding.
Anything that gives either sex a prac-
teal working knowledge of what the
other has to contend with and endure
makes for a better understanding and
more good will and peace between them.
1t does every woman good, and makes
her a better wife, to have earned her
own living before she was married. She
is more careful of money because she
knows the blood and sweat that go into
the making Of every dollar. She knows
what sterling qualities 1t takes in a man
to run a business, or hold down a good
job.
She knows what the days labor takes
out of a man, how he gives body and
brain and soul to hold his own in the
fierce competition of to-day, and how he
comes home nerve raCked and physically
spent, and so she has a sympathy for
him, a desire TO spare him, and not veX
him with foolish trifies that the woman
cannot have who has never earned a
cent in her life. and who thinks that in
going to an Office IS as diverting as go
ng to a matinee.
Thus, as woman having been in
business fits herself to understand what
a mans work means, so a man having
taken a course in housewifery will be
able to comprehend and appreciate what
woman's work is, and the result IS
bound to promote domestic peace and
harmony.
At any rate. there is no disputing the
fact that a husband who, in addition to
his other charms, could go into the
kitchen when the hired girl left and turn
out a first-class meal. would be the gilt
edged prize in the matrimonial lottery.

To Get Rid Of FrownS
and Squint Wrinkles
(Frum Household Fiend.)

Do you know what your frowning
habit makes you look like? Observe
the different expressions due to frowns
in the faces Of other people. The
scowl, given by two deep lines be-
tween the eyes; the worried look, re-
sulting from a furrowed forehead; the
sly expression, induced by squirting
and causing tiny lines to radiate from
the corner of the eye-all these, and
more, are the result of frowns.
To obliterate frowning wrinkles
and all others-use a wash lotion made
by dissolving an ounce of powdered
saxolite in a half pint OF witch hazel.
This Immediately tightens the skin.
Affecting even the deepest wrinkles
and crows feet. II firms up" not only
the skin, but underlying tissue.
There's no better treatment for
paunch like cheeks and neck. Any
druggist can supply the ingredients.

GRAY IS MOST POPULAR SHADE

One is inclined to put confidence in
the success of the grays this season. Ex-
quisite shadings CT this color are to be
found among the loveliest of the new
materials, and upon the heels OF a car
nival of brilliant color it would seem
natural for the fastidious few to swing
to the low tones, as already noted in
the modishness OF beige and white and
pale yellow and white.
Purple Popular.
If one were to judge from the early in
dications, one would allot to purple the
place Of the popular color, the place al
ways occupied by some one color which
is done to death by the time the season
Is fairly under way.
Much OF the early millinery and many
Of the advance model frocks and acces-
sories sound this purple note, and while
one must admit its effectiveness, the
woman who cannot afford to buy early

Suggestions for Tonight
Pumpkin Decoration.

Pumpkin Decoration.
A supply Of pumpkins can be made by
bending wire into pumpkin shape, COW
ering this with orange tissue paper. Tie
the paper at the top and wrap ii with
green to represent the stem.
Japanese Hint.
An odd decoration suspended from the
chandelier over the table is made from
gay Japanese lantern which is pasted
TO the bottom of a small lighted jack-o'-
lantern forming the head. From the bot
tom of the Japanese lantern dangle two
black calico feet stuffed with bran. The
japanese lantern. If not lighted, can be
used to conceal favOrs with narrow rib
bons attached TO be pulled, II one de-
sires.
Berry Basket Lanterns.
A simple lantern which will delight the
children is made Of six-quart berry bas-
kets. Tie four of them together at the
top corners, forming a square, with the
openings facing the center The other
two baskets are tied over the openings
at the top and bottom. Tie the top one
at two corners only, so ii can be opened
as a hinged cover. Drop a little melted
wax from a candle on the bottom of
lower basket and press the candle into
II. These are pretty and at a distance
impossible to tell of what or how made.
Halloween Plates.
Purchase wooden plates and decorate
them with pumpkins, witches, and other
symbols cut from crepe paper napkins or
from rolls of crepe paper printed espe-
cIally for Halloween.

color. 1t seems likely that women will
be desperately tired of it before the VIM

shown in Millinery.
Some extremely good-looking early
hats are worked out in this rich purple
and white, and these seem a welcome
relief from the ubiquitous white and
black which has held sway all summer
and asserts itself aggressively once moro
in the advance millinery, though, as has
been said, one may tire Of the purple la
ter. One OF the most attractive hats
seen among the soft white felts which
are so enormously popular already was
Pierrot shape in this felt, faced with q

edges were raveled out into narrow

MatrOn of Honor.
H. C-The gown of the bridesmaid
or matron of honor is much a matter
of taste. 1t should be some delicate
color other than white, so as not to de-
tract from the bride, and should be
subdued in comparison, therefore the
white satin gown that the matron Of
honor wore on her own wedding day
would hardly be suitable for her on the
occasion of a friends wedding. The
maid or matron of honor may be, and
usually is, more elegantly attired than
the bridesmaids, however.
Your white satin wedding gown could
be draped with a light color chiffon,
however, and made to serve.
C2) You can rent satin slippers at any
establishment where costumes are kept
for hire for masquerade and other par
ties.

Olive OIL.

a tendency of keeping the complexion
clear. It is very beneficial to catarrhal
people and does not create superfiuous
flesh.
To Entertain Young People.
w. G.-What could be more fun for
the entertainment of your young guests
than the puzzle consisting of card quota
tions, published both Sunday and yester-
day in The Herald's Page for Every
Woman? Or you might give a coiffure
party.
This is just the funniest kind of an
entertainment. Ask the guests to come
in conventional evening attire with the
exception of their heads; both men and
women must change the style of hair
dressing. Either a picturesque or gro
tesque mode may be chosen. For in
stance, imagine a man in perfectly cor
rect evening dress with his head repre-
senting an Indian chief in full war bon
net, or a matron well settled, with her
hair in braids down her back.
A most complete Transformation takes
place in the maid of pompadour fame
when she appears with her hair parted
and plastered down as slick as a newly
peeled onion. Choose partners for re-

with the shortest girls. Have a man
