sibe, Sincere" wants a wife of his own
age. If he carries that sensible reso-
luton as far as the altar I will be
agreeably surprised He now thinks a
woman OF 40 would be the right age fos
him.
Heaven forbid that I offend. but the
longer he fingers and looks the more
convinced he will be that a woman Of
30 is at least ten years too old | want
him to find a sane, sensible woman,
who regards the love of one man as Of
more value than the admiration OF
many. l want him to find a duplicate
of the wife he lost. both in years and
tastes; but so innocent and guileless is
the man who finds himself at large aft
err years Of domestic restraint that it is
not safe to make any predictions.
If sincere" is serious, let him go 20
Rsome nice, sensible woman; one VINO
knew and loved his wife. and who
knows Just the sort of a person VINO
will best take her place. Let him tell
her what he has told me, and the
matchmaking instinct which exists in
all Of her sex viii awaken. and will
not sleep again till the Wedding cake
has been cut.
Sincere will not find his ideal wife
at public balls; he will never make her
acquaintance on street car or street
corner She will not attempt to win
him by flirting or tlattery. There is So
much of this nature of which he must
beware when he goes wife-seeking that

Rear Children to Decide For Sef Model Daugh-
ter Tells Her Mothers Creed

Croly Sidney. with a fond look at her
one tall, we'll feathered chick. The
harder work you make of il and the
more obvious the effort the less sue
cessful ii will be. My mother was nat
urally very busy woman. She got up
at and went 20 hey office at 10 and
sin" worked until midnight. She had to
be away from us so much that she had
to leave With us principles as her proxy.
She was not a woman who talked much.
She believed that many words obscured
the issue and that meaning is smoth-
cred by much language. But when mat
ters came up that required her hand
ling-in my case. for instance-she
would say: You may do that if you
WISH but | must tell YOU that If YOU do
it win make me very unhappy. Think
it over and do what YOU think best |
thought ii over and concluded that it
was not best to make mother unhappy.
THE three children she raised-three
Of us died-were a club woman's chill

Of the United States has said stamped
itself upon the policy Of his administra-
ton My sister Mrs. William Mathot,
is living quietly in the country. We
have none of US come to bad end.
Honesty the Corner Stone.
Mother believed in honesty as the
corner stone of character " a person
has that. he or she can make no serious
mistake she used to say. She sent
me for four years to Miss Brackets
! school, and when she placed me there
she said: I leave YOU here feeling Sc
cure No one can look into Miss Brack-
| etts face and believe she can tell Il
! lie She said that If person were
honest with others she would be honest
with herself
- want YOU to have peace ! have
heard her say, Being at peace is liv-
/ ing on good terms with yourself, and
the only way 10 do that is to be honest.
My mothers creed as to bringing W
children was simple. as it seems al
/ things worth while are. She opposed
punishment She believed that the

Decided For Selves.

She taught us to think everything
out for ourselves and decide for our
selves She trained us to this by giving
US a reason for what she asked US to do,
and when we had reached a decision
she encouraged us to tell her why We
had 50 decided. That taught us the
practice of an important form of hon
esty--the intellectual kind.
1T is very simple, isn't it? And yet
have found it satisfying in bringing up
my own child"
Those who knew Jennie June remem-
Der that, because she made unfortunate
investments, the apount of her fortune
did not cover the requests in her will.
The three children Of the Mother of
Clubs gave unique directions to her
lawyers
Pay all the other requests first"
they said, tive will take what is left"
She had laid well the corner stone in
the character Of a club womans chill

HCNCERE" writes me as follows:
Il am widower in the for
ties, not wealthy, but with a
good income, within the automobile
class. | have led q close home life
under the most ideal conditions. and
! therefore can not accustom myself to
the present conditions in which | am
placed.
Il would gladly duplicate the life l
lived before. The acquaintances
made, however. during these years are
families only, and being a modest man,
| do not. seem to fall within the cir
cles where l might meet single ladies
suited 10 my temperament. The few |
knew, and have since met. have dis
appointed me greatly. Perhaps on ac-
count of the sheltered life l have led
/ ] mold too closely TO former ideals
that may not be realized at my time
in life.
Il hold that, ordinarily. a man of
my age should not marry a young
woman, as their sympathics could not
be alike on account of difference in
| experience. yet there alone would the
ideal be realized. What's the answer"
sincere" is paying one Of the many
! penalties that are eXacted from every
one who lives in q large city. If he
| lived IN country town his friends
and neighbors among the womenkind
would have picked out his second
wife ON their way back from the ceme-
| terry. With a thrifty eye on his neg
| lectcd linen and a motherly feeling of
responsibility toward his children, they
would have agreed on some woman
! who would be Just the one to fill
! the vacant place in his home. Then,
with the practiced ease and grace OF
| long experience in match making,
which conceals from no one its mo-
tives, they would bring things to pass
which would result in a wedding
Sincere doesn't say so, but his
plant indicates that he has no busy
busting friends among women. on
they may possess that inherent match
making instinct but ii is too con-
gealed by the unfrendly atmosphere OF
a large city to be capable of action.
sincere" does right to take his
plight seriously. The man whose mar
ried life has been ideal is truly a help
less, unfortunate creature when left
to travel alone. His opinions of all
womankind, based on the loved and
| loving wife who has left him. are
localized.
He is like a boy who has never seen
a counterfeit coin: he ism looking foI
one, he accepts all change handed him
! without scrutiny on question. and is

1t was the younger and more nervous
who spoke first
Il was brought up in a way that
don't in the least approve. 1t develops
such an active conscience that it spoils
all ones pleasure in life"
The matron looked at the maiden
with gentle reproof. The girl laughed
back mischievously. Il leave it to you
whether one can get much fun out of
life if she's told when she wants to do
something very much, We'll dear, you
may if you wish, but if you insist you
will make mother miserable!'
You were never punished. Marjorie. -
no, but I've had most dreadful times
with myself, deciding between doing
what ! wanted to, do and what would
make my mother miserable!"

mothers shoulders, a youthful pink
cheek was pressed against hers.
Generally mother won" she CON
fessed.

Jennie June's daughter and grand
daughter bear featural resemblances to

the sunny disposition that caused one
who inscribed a book to the Mother
