Keep House for Mother.

Katherine and Dixie do work now,
and have ever since four years ago;
when they were respectively ten and
sly. their mother went out TO earn their
living. Since she couldn't hire any
one to take care of them, they tooG
care Of themselves. They washed the
dishes, swept the fat and dressed
themselves for school. They went to
market most econom cally, and Kath-
crime kept a neat little account book
which she balanced every week. On a
low shelf in the bathroom were bot
ties OF things that are soothing TO hurt
knees, and when they fell and bumped
themselves they didn't cry, but went
home and bandaged themselves.
Their mother chose a fat far up on
the West Side, where they have wide
play spaces And IL would be impossi-
bic to hnd happier children and buster
little housekeepers than Katherine and
Dixie.

Lawyer and Physician Mothers.

There is any number Of women law
yers with children, but no example in
New York quite so conspicuous as that
of the Chicago lawyer, Mrs. Catherine
Waugh McCuIogh. who has eight chill
dren, the youngest only eight years
old now. In addition 10 her law prac-
tice, Mrs. McCulogh has campaigned
tirelessly for suffrage but then her
husband campaigns with her. Among
women physicians one thinks first OF
Dr. Isabel Barrows, lately dead, who
used to dwell with satisfaction upon
the fact that the children couldn't go

died, no matter which one, "the other

And with the job Of keeping the pot

Child Gardening.

80 many persons think it terrible
for a child TO be in the charge Of a
hired attendant Well, / think It ter
rible for o child to be in charge Of a
thoughtless mother, and there are many
such. Hired attendants will come up
to the level of our regard for them.
It's very queer; we have the highest
respect for the man who lays out
beautiful landscape garden for us, but
no opinion at all Of child gardening
Some day that profession will be hon
ored; till then we mothers who have
work in the world must train up our

Forest Hills nolds other examples of
worker-mothers, including Mrs. Samuel
Merwin, who, with two tiny boys, one
Of them adopted, pursues her profes-
sion of musician. Mrs. Merwin had
trained nurses for her children when
they were babies.
"The problem is solved by process

Another worker-mother who lives in

two little children and a profession,

Boarding School Best for Boys.

One Of the women in charge Of an
exclusive girls school on West End
av. is bringing up and supporting two
sons, who are at a boys boarding
school and she says it is best for
them 70 be there. because the school
supplies the discipline which she could
not give. In this same school, by the
way, is a teacher who has twice been
granted leave of absence by the prin-
cipal for the purpose of bearing a
child. She has three children, but she
is teaching now, and the principal
says she is one Of the most efficient
members of her staff.

Mrs. Agnes Vaughan, who holds a

all day long. The older child goes
to school, and both are as healthy

better, Mrs. Vaughan says, than if she
were with them every minute of the

But, of course, the real test comes
when a woman has to 90 out every

month old. It was the grandmother
