THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
DICK DIFFERS WITH ME ABOUT MOLLIE

L
mother, but 1 hope you will forgive
me if tell you that in my opinion
she is one of those foolish women,
who do everything for show, who has
really no idea of her responsibility
as wife and motherp
Dick tried to interrupt, but l went
on: "She has never tried to save any
of your fathers income, but has al
ways kept him. in debt ever since she
was married. Your father told me
this the other night. She has never
taught either you or Mollie to take
care of yourselves in any way. You
have never been intimate with her.
You could not be confidential with
her: You love her because everybody
says you must love your mother, but
you have never been friends with her.
You could not go to her with any Of
your troubles and expect advice that
would help you. She is your mother
because she bore you, but after that,
like many other women who have be-
come mothers, she has acted as
thought the obligation was ended"
NduSGs Will HUI nave YOU Idlk
like this about my mother" said
Dick in anger
"Al right" answered, 81 won't
say any more, but you know it is all
true. You can't change a woman's
character all at once just by making
her a mother, any more than you can
by the old-fashioned process of hav-
ing her get religion
''Your mother has never thought
of anything but the struggle to get
on in society and to this she has sac
rificed her husband, her children and
herself, for she has lost the greatest
blessing that could come to her
the confidence and respect of her
children"
How you do dislike her. said
Dick wonderingly.
Then knew had made mistake,

, '"WeIl, what did MoIlie say?" asked
Dick as l came down to breakfast
and met him, leaving Mollie upstairs
to finish dressing.
ct was just as thought" an
swered, 'she was curious to see the
lights and hear the music and as your
mother had gone away and young
Hattersly gave her the chance to see
them, she took it without thinking"
81 don't see how she could be such
a little fool" said Dick with frown.
"HaVe you never given way to a
worse impulse when your curiosity
tempted you?" asked. Dick looked
at me rather queeHy, but he said
nothing.
''Mollie met Hattersly yesterday,
and as you know, he is bowling
swell with 60-horse power motor
car and money to burn. OF course,
she was immensely flattered by being
asked by him to go out to dinner
and she figured that she could come
over to our hotel later. That was all
there was to it"
But she ought to have known
better than to accept such an invita-
ton the first time she met the man"
sputtered Dick.
''Why?" l asked quietly.
Don't you suppose mother has
warned her against doing such
thing?" asked Dick heatedly.
mo, don't, dear, and am not at
all sure that your mother would not
have let her gone had she been
home"
what do you mean, Madge? 1
have always known you did not like
mother, but did not think you would
for, a moment dream she would allow
MoIlie to do such an indiscreet
thing"
saw 1 was in for it and l thought
/ might as well go ahead, so said
quietly:
