For the Children

HE new Mayor of Chicago has jumped
- astride the popular horse, when he
plans to raise S10.oO0,Ooo for new public
Fairgrounds The city spends annually about
sS1,300000 on Fairgrounds, but that is not
nearly enough TO do it right. Thousands of
children can use up millions Of dollars very
rapidly in this progressive age.
a There can he nothing but sympathy with
anything which has for its object getting
children into the fresh air to play The
rapid development of urban life. the increas-
ing demands for space for building, the rapid
advance of rent values, occupation OF streets
by trolley, jitney and motor vehicles Of other
sorts-all these things make the city hard
place to raise a child, even where there are
convenient open squares.
1t is practically impossible for millions of
city people to take their children into the
country during the long vacation months and
1T is practically necessary for the city to ac-
scommodate itself TO this fact. There is no
theory about it. The has been proved
in the court of experience. Therefore, it is
cause for congratulation that Chicago's new
Mayor is on the job for the children.

To Her Who Wears the Crown

ID ERHAPS she is in the full flush of pride
with her firstborn nesting her
shoulder; possibly she is gray, and wears the
crown of seven children
She came into the world with a mission
with function. In the period of her great
est work she faced the portals OF heaven
itself and came back from the dark valley
into the sunlight Of living benedicton.
At the cradle she watched through the
long nights, sleepless herself that her ba be
might sleep. That time when fever burned
and the little hand trembled, when the lips
yet new TO speech moved as if to utter words
they had not learned, only she who leaned
over the trunde bed understood and could
interpret to the grave man OF science who
stood there, watch in hand
And as the child grew, il was the woman
who led him through the tortuous paths of
knowledge. who taught his letters with his
prayers, who kneeled with him at his bed
and took him tenderly into the first OF the
mystic mazes which end as life begins be-
hind the great curtains that part only 10 the
eternal vision.
When he took unto himself a woman it
was she who pondered far into the nights
who feared or joyed, who, loving lin as her
bone, her flesh, hef'hlood;' delivered him into
the hands OF another with misgivings It
was she who trembied when the news came
that her boy was TO be reproduced and then.
in the failing years, it was she who taught
the grandson his first toddling steps who fed
linn his first homemade cake,
What a glorious privilege in this world
of hard things, OF cruel things! To-day is
Mothers Day. II is the day when the sweet
symbol, carnation will be worn in MANY a
lapel, against many gown, in honor of her
who wears the crown.
