Franklin's Birth May Have

History does not ten us, but n ID
possible the mother Of benjamin.
Franklin felt that her own PERSONA
plans were upset and that her ind.
vidual development was delayed
when she found that her family Of
fifteen children was to be made SIX,
teen.
But IT is questionable II any work
she could have achieved would have
benefited the world to the extent K
was benefited BY the life Of her son,
Benjamin Franklin.
There was once a mother who sac.
rihced every personal ambition and
all her desire for pleasure and
travel and social enjoyment to her
ambition for her children.
She wanted her daughters and
sons TO have all possible advantages,
and as the family means were lin.
tied she gave up her own individual
longings TO enable her children 10
crafty their tastes.
But there was seldom q weeA
passed IN which this mother failed
to tell her family OF her sacrifices,
and she thought so much about Il
that she developed the most morbid
phase Of self pity and enjoyed moth.
Ing so much as being regarded as q
martyr to duty.
It would have been better for ths
family and for this woman had she
carried out her own ambitions and
aims and maintained O happy and
cheerful disposition.
Il would have resulaed In beeeas
esneitions for all concerned.

A VERY lovely woman is the
n mother Of two remarkably
( n beautiful children.
They are Ideally reared. and the
elder has reached a bakers dozen
Of years.
The next Is two years younger.
The mother has many ambitions
and many gifts.
Having produced two rare children
she felt her duty done as q parent,
and she planned to devote her life
TO developing herself along mental
and spiritual liz
But now maternity again faces
her, and for a little time this ambi-

thought of the time and strength and
opportunity which she had conserved
Tor her use in the world OF en-

Of motherhood again.

of the most capable and active
club women of the state, was I'M
able to attend on account OF sick

April.

When April awakens the blossom

And blue birds are on the wing,
Hypatia, muffled in downy cloak,
Hastens to greet the Spring.
Careless of cold when the North
wind blows,
Glad when the sun shines down,
She opens her wrap and smiling
shows
Her dainty lavender gown.
Her sisters are robed in pink, and
Are in royal purple dressed,
And over the hills and fields they
come
To welcome the darling guest
The children laugh as they pick
the flowers,
And the happy robins sing;
For b1ossoming in chill and leaf?

Hepatica means the Spring.

The New Orleans Clubs.

What a tremendous showing OF
things accomplished was made by
the New Orleans clubs at the con-
vention. Briefly, the activities OF the
club women of New Orleans ma.
be classified under the following
headings: Education, civic improve
ment, child labor law, political
equa!ity-and hundred other
minor things.
It was Misses Kate and Jean Cor
don who secured the passage of a
child labor law, and woman fac
tory inspector for children, and il
was due to the great work of all the
clubs that sewerage system was
given to the city.
Mrs. Roydan Douglass, Mrs. Johr
Parker, Mrs. Solomon Wolff, Mrs. J
C. Matthews, Miss Marion Brown
Misses Kate and Jean Gordon are
just few of the splendidowomen
who have built up public opinion
on many lines in our beautiful but
sometimes unprogressive old Ores
cent City.
New Orleans is conservative, sh'
does not do things in rush, but hel
brainy club women work just tina
way, they decide and act quickly.

One of the gravest dangers con-
fronting the American home to-
day, said Mrs. Pennybacker, sis
the lack Of companionship of pa
rents with their sons and daught-
ers."
Tie mothers responsibility IS
great and it should be shared by
the father, who is too often look
ed upon merely as the bread-win-
her.
Other things Of grave import.
said Mrs. Pennybacker: "Girls
should not be rushed into woman
hood; they should grow slowly
and beautifully into that period.
the simplicity Of dress should be
their adornment. Sons need their
fathers. The home should be the
social center Of family life. There
should be loving comradeship be
tween parents and their children.
Mrs. Pennybacker is an able and
gifted woman. Voice clear and
resonant. gestures few and simple,
fit her admirably for public speak
ing. A student at home and
abroad of economic questions, it
was great privilege to have Mrs.
