ity of cases.
Even when a wife seems to be in
different to her family and to her
husband, and even when husband
seems to be unappreciative of his
home, there may be causes for either
offense undreamed of by those who
believe themselves to be close friends.
There are men who seem to the
world at large the most perfect spec
linens of domestic nobility, honor and
probity, yet who are impossible as
companions and life comrades for
women of refinement and sensitive
feeling, and there are women who
pass in the worlds eyes as angels OF
goodness who are possessed of I'M
pleasant traits enough to drive any
normal man to drink or insanity If
he is compelled to live with them.
The real character, the real disposl-

Then, when l telephone for these

The next hour was a busy one. BY

was ready. The table glistened with

cut glass and silver wedding presents.

ma, with unconscious philosophy.
1t was only a few minutes later
when Helen was hurriedly dressing
that Anna came to her door with
look of blank dismay.

Helen flew into the kitchen. Reck-
less of her pretty gown, she knelt
down and tried to relight the burner
But her knowledge Of a gas range was
limited. A half box of used matches
and a burnt finger were the only re-
suits.
"Oh, Anna, what can we do-what
can we do?"
A half-cooked roast, a cold oven, no
other meat or anything TO take its
place, they coming in half an hour,
make a situation undeniably pathetic.
Helen was on the verge of tears. Anna
was stolidly beating the salad dress

the buzzing of the Parker bell.
"Oh, do wish those people would
answer the b-waiter-somebody's
always calling 'Parker!' 1t makes me
nervous enough to scream!" Helen
was almost historical. And then again,
What can we do-Anna, what can we
do?"
Here their own bell buzzed, and
| Curtis Confectioner!' was called
| from below.
That's the ice cream, Anna, but
what's the use of having ice cream If
we haven't any meat?"
Anna drew up the dumb-waiter. On
the shelf was the cream packed in ice,
paper parcels marked Parker The pa
per was torn on one side and the fresh
red of steak showed through.
There were times when Helen's
mind worked very fast-but it never
worked so rapidly as it did now.
With a little cry she caught up the
package, tore off the rest of the paper
and disclosed a fine large porterhouse
steak!
Anna gasped. why. that's for Par
ker, miss-the family upstairs"
Hush! sternly," and hold this dumb
waiter-hold it tight! Don't let anyone
pull it up or down."
She turned the steak from its wood
en- dish into large platter. On the re-
frigerator lay the change from a five
dollar bill. She caught up two one-dol-
lar bills and pinned them to strip of
the brown paper taken from the meat,
and on which she scrubbed: Half
cooked roast, Oven out of order, Com
pany at seven!"
tAnna-here-put that roast on
here, too! Maybe their oven works and
they can use it."
But Anna was too astounded to obey
quickly So Helen flew to the oven,
dragged out the roast and put in, pan
and all, on the dumb-waiter.
Now run it up quick! No, don't
stand there staring after it. Come
cook this steak: And cook it better
than you've cooked anything in your
life! And hurry-hurry. AS she dash
ed back to finish her dressing.

best fitted by character and moral
worth and good behavior to bring
them up.
Blood ties have nothing to do with
the matter.
Paternal or maternal love. as that
word is generally used, has little to do
with the moral aspect OF the case.
Women who gossip, who are disor-
derby, who are weak-willed. and who
allow their children TO see all these
traits daily have no right TO bring up
their own children, no matter how
they love them.
Fathers who are living immoral
lives, who are associating with rough
or coarse-minded people. or who use
coarse language and who have never
been taught self-control have no right
to associate with their children, be-
cause they are making an impress on
the wax-like nature of a child-an i'm
press which will harden with time and
become a blighting memory and prob
ably a bad habit.
The time will come under the new
science of eugenics which is being in
troduced when a censor will be ap-
pointed TO study the domestic condt-
tions in every family, and there will
be laws which will protect children
from the influence of the weak. the
disagreeable and the incompetent
homekeepers, as well as from the
brutal and immoral.

EXPERTS MAY FRAME LAWS.

There is in the United States SEN
ate bill creating a bureau to draft
and revise bills. While some mem
bers oppose it as reflecting ON the abil-
ity of the senator's to draw their own
bills. it Is supported by many promi-
nent members who realize how in
creasingly difficult it is becoming for
members under stress of public bush
ness, to look up all things associated
with proposed laws. It is useless to
comment on the condition of the av-
erage congress or legislature relative
to the average form Of the bills intro
duced and passed. It is a common
thing to find clauses in bills which en-.
tirely void the purpose OF the trainers.
1t is not because members are incom-
petent so much as it is that the draft
ing of bill is large task. requiring
research, care and time. Every legis-
lative body should have at its service
a well-equipped bureau where bills
could be prepared by experts having
the time and capacity to ascertain all
the facts, all the other laws bearing on
the subject, and such other data as
would make possible the most com
plete legislation on the particular sub
ject. Such q bureau would lessen
greatly the number of foolish laws.
the number Of inefficient laws, aand
the number of unconstitutional laws.
