 Most of us are familiar with the pie ture of Lincoln standing beside his mother, who is pointing out passage in volume, presumably the Good Book.
 By contrast I saw another sort of a mother, one day recently, while com ing down from Boston in a parlor car. The fashionably dressed dame was teaching a game of cards to her young son, who was perched on his fathers knee. The father was deeply interest ed in the boys efforts to beat his mother and the family group was ev- idently oblivious of time, distance or surroundings.
 A few weeks before, l had been sit ting on the wide piazza outside the window of a casino of a fashionable summer resort It was night and finely dressed groups were dining within, or sat about outside, in the re- freshing air from the sea, drinkinl1 varied beverages, eating fancy ices, chatting in half a dozen languages. family at a table just within the big window-the mother stylishly gown ed, the father equally fine and pros porous looking, the young man, their son, I inferred, we'll groomed. fault lessly garbed.
 Being from New England I was probably the only one who noticed when the French waiter poured for the youth a glass of some light lager, or was quick to light his cigarette, be- tween the courses of their elaborate dinner. The three chatted with 1ov- ing absorption in each others society

gin, Of course the house is not mussed and the mother can read or sew In quiet; but, with. all my old-fashioned Blue Law prejudices, sometimes think mother whom I watched at the casino had right on her side.
 Of one thing any mother can be as- sured, however; her children will not care for her. or respect her, no matter how much she coddles them, if she permits herelf to grow old-fa- shioned. behind the times, either in dress, mind or conversation!
 A woman I knew had had very little opportunities for education having spent mot of her girlhood working in one of the surburban mills But that did not discourage her. When her children brought their schoolbooks home, she studied with them-and this continued throughout their Academy course and, ambitious matron, after l the sons and daughters had entered college!

Her remark set me thinking hard.

After all, was she not a wise woman, to adapt herself to the changes, the demands of modern life? To be her sons companion in his dinners, his dances, his social evenings? With her and his father as associates he would not be likely to go very far from the straight and narrow path!
 At any rate, she set me thinking about the old fashioned mother, who lets her children go outside for amuse- ment which she herself would find tedious, taxing, uninteresting. She does not know one time in ten who their companions are. She does not encourage them in inviting friends in- to their own home-it is so noisy to have such pack of boys and girls about; they muss up the parlor; one has to give them a little lemonade and cake, or let them have candy pull or play boisterous games-dear me! Ii children could ever have good time without yelling so, and breaking up the furniture.

 if some men could work as hard as they can drink they would not become drunkards. It is a pity they do not get onto themselves and change the flow of their energy. When John Barleycorn gets hold of a man the devil recognizes he has a first class
 substitute. It does not try John Bar leycorn to laugh at the pleadings of love or to mock at the sorrows and tears of the innocent: even Satan himself cannot do vile things with such ease. Why put an enemy in your mouth to steal away your brains someone has asked Why take a, poison which robS a man of every fine quail 1 ity; which kills love, paralyzes reason, destroys usefulness, and degrades a man until he has less sen-respect and less sense than brute?

MOTHERS-OLD AND NEW

All the time the orchestra was play
 ing and dancers had jumped up rom
 their tables and gone spinning ooWn the room. As I watched, certain lively measure sounded, the youth
 rose, signalled to his mother ana she' smiling, went off merrily turkey-trot- ting with him down the big room- The father remained at the tapie' watching his wife and son with sm1l-
 ing eyes. The waiter came along, filled his glass with some sort of Span ish wine, lighted his cigarette ana left him to contentedly await the re- turn of the other members Of ms fashionable family.
 It was some time before they came flushed and merry, for noticed they circled the room again and again, only stopping when the music stopped. Then the boy said admiringly to his father, Honestly, Pop. Mother is the | best dancer of any girl in this room! | The mother looked supremely proud | and happy.
 Now, of course, being, as said, from New England it grated on me little as I finished my ice to see that young
 man drink and smoke also to see his mother dancing one of the so-calleo modern dances-albeit I must admit It | was as harmless as the Virginia Reel | can be-unless those who dance Il | want to make it vulgar.
 A few days afterwards( I met that
 mother at my hotel, and made some
 remark about having seen her family
 at the fashionable casino a few even | ings before. She smiled as she refer | red to her son.
