a girl of sweet sixteen one minute
and like a withered crone at an
other. She'll take queer dislikes to
your friends and she'll take odd
fancies TO your enemies, and you'll
wonder and wonder, and you will
lose patience with her, and THAT
is the tragic part.
She would never lose patience
with you-she who was never too
tired or too busy or too nervous"
to get up TO take care of you at any
hour Of the day or night. What a
time you make over poor Mothers
eccentricities
Peculiar! She isn't half as "pe-

to trot you around cold room in
her bare feet for hours at a time
to keep you from rousing the Fire

odd" If she can be any odder
than Father was when he got the
joining fad and joined every or
ganization from Maine to Califor-
mia, and had the whole house lit
tered with insignia and form books.
Strange" If she can be any
stranger than Brother was when
he was made captain of the Little
Tigers and played baseball in his
sleep, she's an odd one indeed.
And vet Brother is the very first
to find fault with Mother and tell
her she's getting queer"
Let's see. How old is Mother?

maybe-just in the prime of life,
her husband thinks. He hasn't
been in the prime so long as she
has. Men stay boys longer than
women stay girls, and there's a
time at forty or so when the whole
world seems fading away-to the
woman who's lived actively. She's
tired so easily-she's worried over
such trifies-her head hangs so
low over every fancied slight, ev-
cry little disappointment.
The girls are growing away from
her. The boys are away at school.
Nobody seems to need Mother any
more. Oh. for a little finger to
bandage. Oh, for little woes to
comfort!
Father doesn't tell her his bust
ness affairs any more as he used to
when he had the little business
there in the shabby little street,
and she used to go to the Office and
walk home with him every night
and talk things over. He belongs
to a club now, does Father, and he
has no time to walk home. He
rides in u machine, and things
hurry so, and there's never any
one to be comfy with any more.
And all those pretty young wom-
en- dressed like fashion-plates-
where do they all come from, Moth
er wonders duly. Was she ever
as pretty as that, and as gaily
dressed? Somebody gets up in the
car and gives her seat some day,
and she realizes that they did it
because she was no longer young,

and she cries about It an hour
when she gets home.
Mother has to keep going-keep
going with her heart a lump of
lead-keep going with her brain a
dull whirl-keep going with her
nerves crying out for rest, for com
fort, for help. And all she gets
Is to have even those who love her
call her "queer"-and "odd'-and
to hear them planning to take their
little jaunts without her-and she
was once the life of the whole
partyl
Poor Mother!
Be patient-be kind-be intelIi-
gent with Mother and her pecul-
iarities, and some day you'll wake
up to find the queer old Mother
gone and a sane, healthy, vigorous,
cheerful woman in her place-the
old Mother you used to know, only
a thousand times wiser and kinder
and better for all she has been
through.
Poor Mother needs you now as
she never needed you in all her
gay, happy, vigorous life before.
She gave freely to you of her
strength. She never counted the
cost. Don't weigh things too heav-
lily in the scale against Mother
now. Dear, foolish, lonely, de-
spondent Mother. Help her through
the dark place along the road now.
and some day she will hold those
who are your very life close in her
grading arms-and then you will
understand.

Wnred Black Writes on When Mother Gets "Peculiar'

GO she's getting peculiar" Is
she-the mother you've al
ways been so proud OF? Acts
queer, and gets mad at nothing"
and cries over tribes, and thinks
nobody loves her, and makes a nui-
sance of herself generally-doesn't
she?
You'd hate to wake up some
bright morning and find Mother
dead in bed-dead, because she
wanted to die; dead, because she
saw that you and the rest thought
her funny" and hard to bear with;
dead, because you didn't under
stand" Well, then, young woman,
it is time you did understand. If
nobody else will tell you about L, l
will.
Your mother has stood about all
she can stand in this world and
live. She's fought and endured
and suffered and smiled and cried
and hoped and feared and agon-
lied, till her nerves are about tired
out; and they'll stay tired for a
year or so. and Mother will be pc
culiar" till those nerves are good
and rested-and you'll have time
with Mother all these years.
She'll be irritable and cross
grained and Jealous and suspicious
and respondent, and she'll want
you to tell her that you love her
three times a day and show her
that you do every minute of the
twenty-four hours She'll act like

TT is reported that Brieux has
been burned! And by wom-
en-. too! A famous club-so
the statement goes-has sat in
judgment upon him; pronounced
his doom; solemnly burned three
Of his plays-and sent out the
story to the world.
Along with Brieux they burned
Elementary Jane. They need not
have troubled about her. She is
of no account any way. She is
neither good enough nor bad
enough to be interesting. And a
person who is so misguided as to
waste time in reading about her
IL only a shade less unfortunate
than the women who waste time
in burning her.
But Brieuxl
The Three Plays.
II the members of this club
have books to burn and wish to
burn them they are entirely with
in their rights in carrying out
their wish. If they consider these
books bad books they have a right
to have that opinion respected.
But when they make formal
and official act of this burning,
make almost a ritual and cere-
monial act Of protest out of It,
and give the news of It to the
press: when they wish and show
that they wish their act to have
q public Significance, then the
burning Of Brieux has interest for
US all. and we are entitled to dis
cuss 1t.
The three plays in question ap-
pear to be those three which, in
an English translation, are pub
lshed in a single volume with
the title, Three Plays by Brieux."
Mrs. Bernard Shaw is RESPONSE
BILE for the translation Of one Of
the three, and Mr.. Bernard Shaw
writes a long preface Of extraor-
binary interest and power The
plays are called, in this transla-
ton, Damaged Goods" ''The
Three Daughters OF Monsieur Du-
pont" and Maternity" The first
deals with that terrible disease
which follows upon licentious-
ness; the second with the dowry
arrangements supposed to be an
integral part Of the French mar
rage system; and the third dis
cusses questions of population
and of race suicide from the point
of view directly opposed to Mr..
Roosevelt's and in the spirit of
Mr.. E. E. Rittenhouse, New York
Conservation Commissioner, who
declares that what our civiliza-
ton needs is not larger families,
but more and better families"
View That Will Prevail.
About one thing the members
Of this club are probably as well
informed as any one can be, and
that is the enormous demand for
the volume. The sales have run
to incredible figures. More than
twelve months ago one book store
proprietor told me that he had
sold more than five hundred
copies of 1t, and about as many
copies of the first play in French.

upon 1t. This, again, Is a view
different from that Of the ladies
who burn Brieux. 1t Ia the view
Of one great and good woman
And 1t is the view which will pre-
vail,

and q wrong way of teaohina

these ladies think the Brieux way
the wrong way.
The Woman's Attitude.
In my judgment the Brieux
method is a good method. HIS
warning is we'll and wisely
fremed. 1t is bravely spoken,
with true-hearted sincerity.
1t Is not for the American wo-
man to attempt to galvanize in
to life the corpse of that policy
Of hush-up born Of mans deter
mination to lead "a mans life,"
no matter what the cost to suf-
fering womankind. Rather, it is
for her to look with clear, I'M
iinching gaze at the ugliest facts
Of life-and to insist that men
make an end of them. And she is
doing this; and the world is be-
ing made over again by her
strength and goodness. She has
been made sick to her very soul
by the concealments which con-
ceal nothing and by the hypoc-
risies which only deepen the
shame they reveal II women are
UNANIMOUSLY poisoned by the vices
Of men, It Is not for women to
silence the cry for deliveranca

The Bar hams in their musical interpretations render several very beautiful solos well worth hearing using the violin, piano and harp to entertaining eff feet. The Royal Male quartette, pos sessing very harmonious voices, have proven themselves far superior to any other Quartette having played the city, in as much as each member can really sing, and each deserves his share of praise in making the act the success that it now is.
