BY DOROTHY DIX

The advocates of the Widowed Moth
ers' Pension bill have spoken of 1t only
from the childrens side of the ques-
ton.
They have shown how much better

humble that home may be, than IT is
in an orphan asylum. no matter how
scientifically and humanely that asylum
may be conducted. a."
They have shown that institution
reared children. who have been brought
up to battle and dress and eat and play
and study and work and rise up and
sit down to the tap of a bell, almost
invariably develop into machine-like
men and women. without initiative or
originality of their own.
They have shown not only how cruel
thing 1t is to break the tie between
mother and child. and sisters and
brothers, but also how dangerous 1t
is to do so. for there is no other one
fact in human development so potent
as family affection and the sense of re-
sponsibility that this brings with it
Nothing so makes recklessness of con-
duct in either a boy or a girl as the
feeling that he or she has nobody be-
longing to him or her.
And conversely. the knowledge that

to fame and fortune. Even so great
man as Sir James Barrie says that
the thing that gave him courage to per-
sist at the writing" was his desire
that his mother might lie soft at night
and sit warm by the fire in the day.
Finally the advocates of the Widowed
Mothers Pension bill have shown that
for the same amount of money that
the State spends to keep a child in an
orphan asylum he can be boarded with
his mother and the little home kept
together.
1t is rieht that the children should
be considered first in this matter and
their good determine 1t. but there is
also another side to the question. That
is the mothers. The mothers need the
children just as much as the children
need the mothers.
The mothers who have children of
an age to be sent to an orphan asylum
are themselves young women. Many of
them are not overwise, and in spite of
having been married and had children,
have little real knowledge of the world.
Most of them have had few advan-
tages of education and have few re-
sources within themselves.
These women are primitive creatures
with primitive instincts. They must
have something, to love, something to

s57o Blouse with Vest Effect,
a. to a. bust.

Familiar fashions do not always die easily,
women have been very unwilling to give
up the comfort of the low collar, and the
compromise shown in this blouse has been
made in response to an urgent de-
mand. This blouse is very pretty
one with a little vest that allows
effective use of contrasting material. It
is simple too, meaning no difficulty for
making. and equally pretty for wear with
the odd skirt, with the tailored suit, or
when made with skirt to match, for a
simple one-piece gown. In the picture,
the material is embroidered cotton crepe
combined with pique, and that combina-
tion of thin material with heavy one
makes a noticeable feature of the new
models. Crepe de chine with Bengaline
or with silk poplin makes fashionable
and attractive combination, and in
various ways, the idea of a thin, plain
with heavy ribbed material iscarried out.

Many Acts For Children
Featured in Big Circus

1t may be a pleasing fiction that the
modern circus is primarily intended
for the edification and delight of the
children; but the fact remains that no
memory fingers longer in the minds
of men and women than that which
is associated with the entrancements
of the sawdust arena-the airy. fairy
riders; the whirling acrobats; the
gravity defying aerialists; the fool
cries of the clowns; the roar and dash
of the hippodrome races. and the
wonders of the animal world as dis
played in the travelling menagerie
In these days of big amusement en-
terprises the circus has become an en-
tertainment for grown as we'll

recent visitor to the big show thus
gives his impressions of this feature
of the entertainment:
Among the thousand and-one Won
derful sights are many that have been
secured for the avowed purpose of
defghting the children. Little ele-
plants, tiny ponies, dogs, monkeys,
and other animals execute tricks sim
liar to those read about in story
books, and the little ones fairly reveI
in what, to their youthful fancies is
a veritable fairyland of wonders. Such
attractions as the geological display
afford them an excellent idea of the
&c fr1C nj
the world, and prove of distinct edu-
cational value. Thalero's dog and
pony circus, with the smallest ponies
in the world, troupe of tiny Lilli-
putians, giant, as big as ever fancy
painted the Goliath of the Bible or
the Magog of the fairy tales, a
giantess, and the ridiculous antics of
the clowns, are all features that ir-
resistibly appeal to childhood and
make impressions that will never be
eradicated."
There are, it is said, many other in
teresting features of the Barnum &
Bailey show, which, while not espe-
cia1ly designed for the children, prove
vastly entertaining to the younger
element in the audience. In the men,

and, finally, a series of exciting races,
one of which-a running contest be-
tween ponies with jabbering monkeys
as riders-is designed to appeal to the
youngsters in the crowd, and un-
doubtedly does.
