was Dorothy Cooksey, daughter of
George A. Cooksey, of Pasadena,
Cal, who, when he heard of his
daughters, extraordinary prediction
for animals, exclaimed despairingly,
Dorothy should never have: been
born! Prenatal influences are respon-
sible for her conductw
The two fathers in-law made many
efforts toreconcile their warning chill
dren and in 1912 induced them to
sign the following agreement:
eve acknowledge that our duty as
father and mother should overrule
all considerations of personal ma
ture so long as we have health and
strength sufficient therefor.
81, Dorothy, disclaim any moral
obligation to my children, but, with
this exception, l promise to do my
best to carry out this agreement be-
cause my father asks me to and l
believe it is my duty to abide by his
advice in this"
Two months later, however, Mrs.
Marcus ~bade her husband a final
farewell, telling him that she did not
love him and had never loved
him, that her children were
nothing to her, never had been, and
that she resigned all claim in them
to. him. Marcus divorce suit was the
result and his wife did not contest it.
If Mrs. Marcus father is right in
believing that prenatal influence Is
responsible for her state of mind we
should not criticise her too severely.
But if he is wrong we must accept
her abnormal conduct as merely the
ultimate development of the posi-
bilities in any loveless marriage. The
fact that women have been able to
love children born in loathing or in
the stale tepidity of marriage Of
Indifference is the greatest miracle of
motherhood. And Mrs. Marcus may
be merely one of those to whom the

them. Mrs. Marcus queerness lay !
in not loving more tenderly and pro-
foundly the little helpless things that
were peculiarly her own. She should
not have loved her dogs and horses
less, merely her children more. And,
undoubtedly, she would have loved
them if she had been able to love
their father.

GIVE PLUM PUDDING TIME TO
"RIPEN"
By Caroline Coe

AS every good housekeeper
knows, plum pudding must "ripen"
before it is served at the holiday din
ner or at the wedding feast, or what
ever the grand occasion" may be
that calls for this festive dish.
An English recipe that has stood
the test of years is as follows:
Wash one pound, each, of seeded
raisins and currants. Drain and dry
perfectly dry, chop 1 pound of suet
and rub with tablespoonful of
flour.
Blanche and chop one-half pound
almonds, one-quarter pound citron
(shaved in fine pieces), 8 teaspoons
(each) of candied lemon and orange
peel (cut fine). Mix all these with
the suet and flour. Add the raisins
and currants and 1 tablespoon of
salt. Stir into this mixture wine
glass of cider, add 1 pound of dry
fine breadcrumbs, mix and set away,
covered with tight cover for SO hours.
, When ready to boil the pudding
add 8 eggs (wen beaten), one-half
cup of lemon juice and one-half
pound of -four. Knead all together
and fill wel-buttered cans two-thirds
full. Cover and boil or steam for
hours.

WHAT BRITT MAY DO.

While Third Assistant Postmaster
General of the United States in the
cabinet of President Taft certain def
mite things were planned and success
fully executed by Mr.. James J. Britt.
In his campaign for election to con
gress from this district he outlined
briefly some of the things he wished
to have accomplished by congress.
The measures he has closest at heart
are non-partisan ones and in the Six
ty fourth congress Mr.. Britt, republi-
can will have as much opportunity
Of securing such legislation as would
a democrat. We, therefore, hope that
bright and early on the morning of
March fifth next Mr.. Britt will begin
in earnest on his good roads pro-
gram here in the mountains and on
the other things which he proposes
