The-Mother-in-Law and the Wife
Answer to Woman Who Says She Unhappy Her Sons Home
Suggested Pack Her Trunks and Move Away

have another such letter as this. 1t
is written by lovely, cultured. gentle
lady, full of tact and kindness. who
asks for help in solving a problem to
which no wisdom has yet found the
key.
This woman has a son to whom she
is devoted and a grandchild that she
adores She would gladly love her
ter-in-law repulses her at every turn.
She is not evenly civilly polite to the
mother-in-law, but criticizes her and
sneers at her, and maintains toward
her an attitude that Is a covered In
suit in itself.
The man loves his wife, but he
loves his mother also, and he is made
SO miserable by his wife's conduct
toward his mother that it has seriously
affected his health. The mother fears
that he will die in the atmosphere OF
such an unhappy home, and she asks
what / think she had best do.
My advice to her is to pack her
trunks and leave her sons house i'm
has plenty of money. but even If a
woman had to go to the poorhouse
from her sons house | should still
urge her to go rather than stay In a
home where she was bone or strife
and the source of discord.
This may seem hard saying. But
when does motherhood over finch from
the cross when, by sacrifice, 1t can
secure the good of those 1T has borne
in travail of body and must so often
cherish in travail of spirit?
And 1t is the wonder OF love that
which we give we keep: The woman
who stays in her sons home, making
perpetual friction there for him, may
lose some of his reverence and affec-
tion, but the mother who sublimely re-
nounces all for his happiness remains
forever a revered saint to his vision.
1t may seem hard to her to go away
from one she loves so dearly, but in
another house she will be nearer to
him than she would be under the same
roof with him, with a spiteful daugh-
ter-in-law always interposing her
watchful suspicious between them.
Mother-in-Law Should Eliminate Her
Self From Home
Unhappily, there is no panacea for
changing a selfish, narrow, jealous
daughter-in-law into a broad and no.

ing the fact that next to her own
mother her husbands mother is the

well, there was always the river.
She told the story simply, with no
note of melodrama. 1t was merely a
sordid, grim story of woman's strug-
gle in big city.
Helen was appalled,. She was
frightened, terrified. She had never
come in touch with this phase of life
She had, of course, seen the sensa-
tional newspaper headings of women
who had committed suicide because
they could not find work. But they
had been only newspaper headings
and she had thought them colored
and exaggerated, If not wholly un-
true.
But here was the grim reality. She
knew too that this woman had had
no intention of telling this story.
There had been no appeal to her svn'.

The office boy opened the door and
looked in inquiringly.
There are others waiting to see
you," apologetically, and again she
started to go. I'm afraid I've taken
too much of your time
Again Helen stopped her.

handbag two-dollar bill. "I am sure
you can do Mr.. Curtis work. Go back

know you'd rather I wouldn't. Your
work will stand on It's merits"
4 And then to protect her from the
curious glances of the others Helen
went with her to the outer door and
nodded cheerful, matter-o fact
Good morning."

Every variation Of the skirt that gives
the peg top effect is to be smart for the
spring and summer. Here is one that can
be laid in plaits at the back or gathered
as may be found more desirable, and
finished at the high or the natural waist
line. 1t is made all in one piece but, since
no material is wide enough to cut it
without Joinings, the straight edges must
be scanned together and it is the part of
the dressmaker to make these seamings
where they will be least noticed Usually
the preference Is given to the sides. The
skirt is good one for the tailored suit
and for wear with odd waists, for any
material that can be finished in tailored
style. The front edges are overlapped and
the closing is made invisibly beneath the
plait at the left side Of the front.
For the medium size, the skirt will re-
quire 8 70 yds. of material AZ in. wide, az

SILK purse out of a sow's ear. nor can
you convert stingy, .venomous little
woman into big and generous one.
So the only thing the mother law
can do under such sad circumstances
is to eliminate herself. That saves her
son, at least, from perpetual nagging
from his wife. and the sorrow of seeing
his mother suffer from humiliations
and insults from which he is powerless
to protect her. Sometimes when the
friction Of daily life together is re-
moved It is possible to establish
truce with the daughter-in-law,s so that
1t makes 1t possible for the son to
visit his mother in peace and without
precipitating family row. But al
ways 1t is best for the two women not
to dwell under the same roof, and wise
are those who never make the fool
hardy experiment.
There are two strange things in
this antagonistic attitude that so many
mothers. The first is the Incompetent
sibility of any woman having SO little
sympathy toward fellow woman as
to want to separate her from the child
that she has suffered for, sacrificed for,
and who is the very bone of her bone
and flesh of her flesh. Yet you see
mothers with sons of their own treat
ing their husbands mothers as they
pray God no other woman may ever
treat them.
Husbands by Nagging
The second thing that is strange is
that any woman could be fool enough
to take such risk of alternating her
husband from her as to be cruel to,
his old mother and drive her out of
her own sons house. A man would
have to be the lowest bastard on earth
not to resent that with everv fibre of
his being. and though he may, for
the sake of peace, let his mother go
In silence or sit in silence while she
is mistreated. 1t is something that he
never forgives his wife, She has laid
the axe to the root Of his respect and
affection for her.
Remember that, you young wives,
when you make your husbands mother
unwelcome in your homes. Ten million
beautiful sirens could not wean your
husband from you SO quickly, and so
effectually, as your unkindness to that
poor old gray-headed woman going
with wet eyes and an aching heart
from her sons door.

should be filled with nothing but Joy
and gladness we make misery ana
tears for ourselves and those nearest
to MS.
The best illustration of this unac-
countable human weakness is to be
found in the relations-in-law problem,
where people who should dwell to-
gether in peace and amity seem to take
q fendish delight in quarreling ana
pickering, although by so doing they
ruin their own happiness and make
life a hell on earth for all about them.
7 1t is literally true that not drink,
nor gambling, nor immortality. nor any
vice whatsoever, brings a thousandth
part of the misery to humanity as does
the inability of relations-in-law to be
friendly, or even treat each other with
decent politeness, for pitiful and petty
as a family quarrel seems somewhere
in 1t there is always a broken heart.

subject. Sometimes it is a daughter

LIVE AT HOME.

| Everybody is talking about th,
high cost of living. 1t is surel,
a serious situation, which con
fronts the people at present ano

combat successfully this cond,
ton of affairs. We have it in
our power to do so. The farmers
especially have it in their power
to make themselves Independent
Of the prevailing high prices in
every commodity of life by rails
ing what they need at home in
the way of vegetables, meats,
lards and many other articles
which can be produced in our
fertile soil. Therefore let the
farmers start in right now, by
providing themselves with a can
nlng outfit. They will be able
to can all they need for home
consumption and perhaps create a
market for their surplus canned
goods.
& Our farmers can do this az
well as the Northern, Eastern
and Western farmers. Why can't
our farmers do what is done else
where? They can do it. Let
them begin at once.
Our farmers to make a success
III farming, must use the latest
and most modern methods for
cultvating and diversifying their
crops.
We also need good roads IF
these two things were put in
vogue in this State, it would be
one OF the richest in the Union.
When Northern and Western
people visit our State they are
surprised at the richness of our
lands. They say that we have a
perfect Eldorado and that we are
letting things go to waste.
They also say that our lands
are far richer than their lands
and that we can raise anything:
that our climate is superb and
that we have market through
New Orleans. which extends TO
all parts of the country and to
every foreign port.
The only things that are want

who are farmers, who possess
