least that is what the court said,
for courts rear a great legal wall
between mother and child when
they are thus separated.
But the mother knew different
1y. Alma still lived to her, vivid
1y, in fearful memories and daily
heart hunger. She struggled on,
and finally the wheel of life. shift
ed. Love came to her. She met
and married another man, a good
man, prosperous civil engineer
on the Panama canal.
Even then, with love and a
prosperous home, happiness for
her was not complete. She long
ed for the baby girl-hers no
longer legally, but still her own
flesh and blood, a very part of
herself. She came back to Chi
cago seeking Alma.
For months she could learn
nothing. The great legal barrier
was in the way, you see. Finally
mother love and detectives to-
gether traced Alma. The home
into which she had been adopted
was no longer prosperous. Alma
needed her mother again, just as
she had needed the foster mother,
years before. The wheel of life
had swung completely around,
and in raising the real mother it
had cast down the fortunes of the
foster mother. .,-..
But the foster mother loved
Alma, too. She wouldn't give her
up, They arranged that Alma
should go to an academy, where

had first cuddled close and warm
against her breast. And the fos-i
ter mothers love helped, too, ir0
that final realization of the desire:
The dramatic climax of this
story from real life came when
both mothers appeared in court
together and the judge gave All
ma back again, legally, to her own
mother as the latter placed FIVE
new 500 bills in the hands of the
foster mother. Otherwise she
couldn't have her.
The mother walked out of the,
court room with her arm about
her daughter.
The foster mother went more
slowly, with hot, regretful tearsL
blistering the paper money in her
hands, her pay for twelve years
of love and watchful care.
Its awful to think of a mother
actually having to buy back her
own daughter, like a slave, in a
court oflaw, isn'tit?" asks Henry
Neil.
. Who is Neil. He's the man
who has made it practically i'm
possible for such a scene to hap
pen again-in Illinois. 1t is now
impossible in Illinois because,
since that $500 purchase a few
months ago, a mothers pension
law has gone into effect here. Neil
was the father of that law.
The law provides that the chill
dren of a destitute but worthy
mother shall not be taken from
her. Instead, the Judge awardsf

FEATURES OF CHINESE HOME
One Story Dwellings of the OrientaIs,
the Exteriors of Which Are
Unpromising.

Pekin, China-It is difficult for the
Occidental mind to picture the wall
within wall life of a Chinese home,
says a writer in the Century. Down a
narrow lane one passes between two
walls, behind which may be novels or
palaces. there is no telling which,
since the one story roofs beyond are
invisible
One pulls a string at gateway, the
address of some family of high degree.
A servant appears, leads through an
other gateway, a fowery- courtyard, a
passageway, perhaps another court
yard, a little room or two, and finally
into a reception room, with its carved
wood wainscoting and furniture. its
porcelains and jades and brasses, its
blue and green and gold ceiling
Here the hostess appear, offers her
Occidental guest tea or champagne, or
both, with cakes and candied fruit or
lotus buds. Then she may lead one
through other eourtyards, all with the
usual one story rooms around them,
and into her secluded garden of rocks
and pools, of pretty paths and bridges
of clustering trees and flowers.
In such a palace as this each court
yard with its surrounding rooms may
be the special home of one of the sons
and his wife and children; but some
where in the maze of walls, under one
of the low, tiled roofs, is the common
dining room, with the kitchen beyond
Here the men of the family eat to-
gether twice day and afterward the
women and children And somewhere
also there is a central family hall,
with their tribute of incense at proper
seasons. These are held in such rev
erence that no foot may pass above
them, and therefore two story dwell
ings are unknown in regions uncon-
taminated by foreign influence.

WORK WONDERS WITH TUNIc
Garment Really Indispensable to the
Woman Who Perforce Must
Practice Economy.

The woman of small means, whose
social position obliges her to dress
well on small income per annum, de-
vises many schemes whereby she may
give her limited wardrobe the ap-
pearance Of great variety. Within the
past few seasons her greatest aid in
putting up a bluff" has been the ubi-
quitous tunic a This style admits of
so many delightful variations that the
clever dresser does not fail to make
the best of the advantages it offers.
For instance, if one is possessed Of
well fitting white satin frock, one
may vary the tunic worn over it, and
variety Of effects may be obtained.
1t is certainly worth trying by the
woman who. has limited number OF
frocks and many occasions on which
she must wear them. Some little al
teTatiOn or differences in the arrange
ment of shades worn with a frock
gives an air of novelty and interest.
Some women are content to fish out
the same frock and wear it continu-
ally with even the self-same' spray Of
flowers pinned on. 1t does not seem
to occur to them what an almost end
less variety can be obtained by little
changes here and there, with perhaps
different ornaments and waysof dress
ing the hair. No woman should scorn
such details, and in her desire to look
her best she may easily get into the
habit Of critically examining herself
and her clothes.
To go back to the subject Of tunics
and the wonderful ingenuity which is
exercised in them, that they have a
great effect in altering the shape and
appearance Of the figure is fact most
of US have realized. 4 tall, slim figure
can, of course, stand practically any
arrangement Of this overdress, but
the short woman in this, as in many
other details of her toilet, has to be
most careful that no hard line, which
may detract in any way from her
weight, or any undue fullness, should
be worn. All lines should sweep down
ward or slope sideways, always keep
ing in view the wish to add length and
take away any suspicion of width in
the figure.
