BEA LOVER OF YOUR DEAR MOTHER
Continued from first page.)

>SOAAeAANSA PoSO1
away the memory of that which is
best and sweetest in life? The most
forlorn figure I have ever seen is
the old mother, who is unloved by
the children raised, and who is
doomed to the last years of her life
in glacial atmosphere of neglect;
her devotion, her labors, her sacri-
fee forgotten.
Remember then, now while there
is yet time. while she is living to
pay back to her in love and. tender
ness something on your account, this
very day.
Go home, if you can. and pat
your arms around her, kiss with a
real love, warm cheeks, instead of
peck on the cheek. Tell her that
she is the best mother that could
ever live. 1t will cause her very
soul to leap with joy. and make the
world place of circliup joy-if she
doesn't drop dead with surprise.
The best that is in us we owe to
our mother. Our dads may have
been all right; in fact, as men go,
most of them were. But they didn't
cuddle us or kiss our bruises or pill
low us on loving hearts to sob away
the griefs of the day or make us for
get the fears of the stormy nights.
When it comes to the fundamen-
tai love, he kind one looks for
when in trouble or distress, it will
never be found after we have laid
away our mother. We may turn to
our helpmate for solace as long as
our troubles are only of superficial
nature and our longings will be an
swered. But let us become engulfed
in anything serious; the chances are
