WHY WE QUARRELLED So. -.
By Virginia Terhune Van De Water

Copyright, 1915, Star Company
one OF the hardest problems have
mad to face in my married life is try
ing to reconcile my duty to my hus-
band with that to my mother.
Looked at calmly and diSpaSsion-
ately, I know the fault is not my par
ent's. Her one desire is for my hap
piness, although it is entirely natural
that she should long to have me
with her often. Yet my husband re-
CARDS this wish OF hers as form of
selfishness and feels that my indul-
gence OF her is weakness on my part
and equivalent to neglect of him.
Last month when my mother was
i'll and I ran in to see her several
times each day, and the last thing
at night, John expressed his dissat-
isfaction at this state of affairs.
Your care of her wearies you so
that you are not in fit condition to
attend to your regular duties" he
complained
She is one of my regular duties"
[ rejoined. I am her only child, and
it is my right and pleasure to be of
service to her
"And she imposes upon you!" he
insisted II really think that a man
has some rights. You woman are
fond of quoting to us. For this
cause shall a man leave father and
mother and cleave unto his wife,
But it is only fair for wife to do
the same thing"
Don't II" l asked. Would you re-
spect me If l neglected the mother
to whom I owe a debt of gratitude l
can never pay?"
You mean for caring for you
when you were kid ?" John queried
We'll, since she brought you into
the world that is the least she could
do. I do not see that she had done
such lots for you that you need be
her slave now"
| looked at him in wonder at the
case with which man forgets. I
hesitated to remind him that two
years after our marriage when he
failed in business my mother lent
him money to put him on his feet
again and that she would not allow
him to pay any interest on this loan.
You are like a son of me-" she
told him then. 81 have no boy of my
own, and ] feel as if you belonged to
me-"
Even now she is paying the tuition
of our ten-year- lad at the pri-
Vate school to which John went as a
boy and where he has always longed
to have his son go. The boy is my
fathers ramesake, and my mother
never forgets this.
well, what are your thoughts
about" John demanded, as l kept si-
lent while I pondered on these facts.
IT was just thinking" l said, "of
the many obligations we are under to
mother Since you ask me, I tell you
this although I did not mean to

mention it,"
"Obligations!" he exclaimed. "Is
that what you call them? ! don't! I
suppose you mean that she helped me
with money at one time. Well, paid
it back. And she is paying Lawrence's
tuition - but she insisted on doing
that. never asked her to send the
lad to a private school. I always sup
posed he would have to go to a pub
lie school-as thousands of others nice
lads do. She loves the boy and likes
to do things for him.
But you benefit by her love for him
and u.s." I insisted.
''If I do, I pay we'll for it in the
lack of my wife's society whenever
her mother wants her." he retorted.
Yes, only last week, when he asked
me TO take little trip to the noun
tains with him, and I protested that !
could not leave the children, he said
easily, "Oh, send them over to your
mother"
They might worry her" I ventured.
'She is not very strong now, you
know"
Nonsense! She would love to have
them. 1t will be a real kindness to
her, to let them go there and amuse
her and get her out of herself. OF
course the nurse will accompany them
so she'll have no work to do for them"
That is the way he regards the
matter. He takes all that my mother
does for granted, because she is my
mother and loves me and mine. Yet
he rebels il she takes much of my
time.
|. Another phase of the subject over
which we quarrel occasionally is his
habit Of making silly jokes about
mothers law. l consider these in
wretched taste as long as his wife's
mother lives. But John thinks me
absurdly sensitive on this point.
There you go again, looking at
everything through your mothers
eyes, and seeing harm and taking Of
fense where none in the world was
meant" he accuses.
The strangest phase of it all is
that he protests that he is fond of
my mother If this be so, why can't
he be nicer to her?
He is polite to her with a patron
izing tolerance that would drive me
to the very verge of evaporation were
l in her place, and which actually
makes me ashamed of him. If she
notices it she hides from me the
knowledge that she does.
Yet he is quick to call my atten
ton to any fault of hers.
Did you notice." he asks, that
your mother was cross tonight"
or, why must your mother tell the
same story over again and again?"
All of which only proves to me the
truth of my contention that a moth
ers love is on a higher plane and of
less selfish nature than is a hus-
bands. My mother wants my happi-
ness above all else: my husband
wants me, myself"

A striking characteristic of this Book
Of Ephesians appears upon even a
superficial reading. The letter is di-
vided into two fairly even parts. The
first is occupied with the loftiest and
pl ofoundest spiritual teaching. It is
deep water for the strongest swimmer.
The Apostle presents tn eutterm ost
mysticism of the Christian faith. Then,
really as a logical consequence he
proceeds to lay down the most practi-
cal preuepts for everyday living-the
duties of parents and children, hus-
bands an6 wives, masters and servants.
In a word, the most exalted of Chris
tian truth finds its expression in the
cCmmoneSt duties. The truth of Christ
is not for idle contemplation, but for
everyday practice.

In the Religious World

Akaba. at the head of the gulf of the
same name, was once the seaport of
Solomon. AS British warShipS have
| lately shown, a vessel can approach
within two hundred feet of the shore,
so wonderful is this ancient port.
Solomon did business by way of the
Red Sea with the East Coast OF Az
RIGA, with Arabian ports including
those of Sheba, and with the Persian
Gulf of India So it is not strange
that the stories of his greatness
should have reached his neighboring
ruler.
The Gift-Bearing Orient.
OF course the Queen of Sheba bore
rich gifts to Solomon; there never
was an oriental embassage that did
not. 1t is the custom to this very
greater largesse upon her; not only
gift for gift, but also ''of his royal
bounty This after he had made
show of his best unto his guest, I'M
til there was no more spirit in her
or, as we say, colloquially, he took
her breath away" Then cried the
queen, Behold, the half was not told
me-"
That phrase is oftenest used con-
corning the point which is the chief
application of this lesson. The half
has not been told concerning the
glories of the king6 som of heaven,
and the delights of Christian life.
