The circumstances in the midst
of which little Virginia was ush-

fairest description.

The F allure of Wo-
men To Be the
Best Mothers
Possible
Written For The Atlanta Georgian
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Copyright. l9l2. by Anne rcan- Journal Exa nniner

I(TF the parents of a rough dia-
mond could only realize the
handicap they place in their
child by starting him out into the
world without polishing him as
much as possible, l am sure every
parent would do his utmost to add
a touch here and a touch there to
the personality of his offspring dur
ing childhood, for it is during child
hood that the little habits are
formed, which, taken as whole, do
so much to influence his future
career and station in life. l refer
to habits of tidiness, manner, de-
pertinent, carriage, table etiquette,
care of the toilet, etc. There comes
a time in the life of every child
when habits of this class have to
be formed. and there is no reason
on earth why they should not be
formed in such a way that in later
years they will not be a source OF
embarrassment to him"
-HERBERT A. PARKYN, MD.

Americas most gifted and dis
tinguished physicians and met

every mother and teacher in the

Another Side.

Again YOU see other women mar
ried to literary or artistic men who
lament that they have more CONF
partnership than dollars. and who
are dissatisfied because their hus-
bands can't make as much money
as a Wall street broker
In short, the feminine ideal of
perfect mate is as impossible Of
realization as the masculine, No
man Is at once great money
maker and am idealst. no man can
make fortune In the grocery
trade and hold his Uifes hand al
tnr same time. any more than
woman can be both a loader OF
fashion and household drudge
IlIs because men and women eN-

Not One Woman in 100
Is a Scientific Mother

however bright boy may be In
MS lessons, however he may excel
IN the athletic field, he is not
growing into admirable and excel
lent manhood unless he is receiv-
ing the delicate and gracious
touches of education which a
mother should consider it her great
privilege to give. But shis can
not be given in day or a year. 1t
must be done day by day and year
by year, unobtrusively and tactful-
Iy' until the child has absorbed the
wholesome and refining system IN
consciously. And we do not find
one American mother in one hun
dred who is unselfish and patient
enough to bestow so much time and
thought on the profession of scien-
tif1c motherhood.

portance of giving attention Ia
these little habits cannot be too
strongly impressed upon the
nlihas OF parents of young chill
dren. So many parents believe
that If they teach their children
what is right and wrong. from
moral and ethical point of view,
clothe them and send them to
School' they have done all that In
required of them, and that the
children will do the rest them
selves and make a success in life"
Mothers of culture and educa-
tlon are to be found all about us
who have allowed their little sons
10 pass through he formative
period of childhood without one
distinguishing trait of habit of re-
hhed, considerate manhood, and
VINO consider the brusqueness and
poorish department of their Off
spring as natural phases Of bow
mood which will be eventuaIIv
outgrown. In America. children
are allowed to occupy an unnatural
position in the home. and are ner-
mitted to demand favors Of their
elders, where foreign children
gently request; to DISPUTE. and
natly contradict, where others
would only question or remain
silent, and to sit in the presence
OF their parents and grandparents
without waiting for permission or
observing whether any one is dis
commoded by their conduct.
mothers permit their little sons
10 INTERRUPT conversation; to enter
room noisily, without REMOVING
their hats; to be first at the tabIe
without showing the courtesy Of
senting the mother or sister or
guest, and to air their ideas and
opinions aggressiveiy in the pres-
ence of older people.

current rumOrs to the effect that the
company is contemplating removal

HOW He GOT EVEN:

An Episcopal clergyman, rector of a
fashionable church in one of Boston's
most exclusive suburbs, could not be
bothered with the lnnumerable tele-
phone calls that fall to one in his
profession, 80 he had his name left out
of the telephone book. A prominent
merchant of the same name, living in
the same suburb, was continually an
noyed by requests to oficiate at fun
erals and baptisms. He went to the
rector told his troubles in kind way
and asked the parson to have his name
put in the directory. But without
success. The merchant then deter
mined to complain to the telephone
ompany. AS he was writing the let
ter, one Saturday evening, the tele-
phone rang and the timid voice of a
young man asked if the Rev. Mr.. Blank
would marry him at once. A happy
thought came to the merchant: "No,
I'm too damn busy writing my SER
mon," he replied.
