All OF which only proves to me tho

selfish nature than Is a husbands. My
mother wants my happiness above all

know the fault is not my parents. Her
one desire Is for my happiness. although
It is entirely natural that she should
long to have me with her often. Yet my
husband regards this wish Of hers an a
form Of seifishness and feel that my in
diligence of her is weakness on my part
and equivalent to neglect Of him.
Last month when my mother was i'll
and / ran in to see her several times each
day and the last thing at night. John
expressed his dissatisfaction at this state
Of affairs. rN A.
"Your care Of her wearies you so that
you are not in fit condition to at

planned.
"she is one of my regular duties.' !
reJoined II am her only child. and 1t
Is my right and pleasure to be OF service
to her"
"And she imposes upon youi" he In
sisted. II really think that a man has
some rights. You women are fond of
quoting to us, For this cause shall a
man leave father and mother and cleave
unto his wife But 1t is only fair for a
wife to do the same thing"
Don't IT, 1 asked. Would you re-
spect me II neglected the mother TO

You mean for caring for you when
you were a kid?" John queried. well.

that is the least she could do. 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 ease
with which man forgets. hesitated to
remind him that two years after our mar
riage. 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 interest on this loan.
You are like q son to me-" she told
him then. II have no boy OF my own,
and feel as II you belonged to me-"
Even now she is paying the tuition of
our 10-year-old lad at the private school
to which John went as a boy. and where
he has always longed TO have his son
go. The boy Is my fathers namesake,
and my mother never forgets this.

John demanded, as I kept silence while
pondered on these facts.

many obligations we are under to mother.

what you call them? i don'tl I suppose
you mean that she helped me with money

And she Is paying Lawrence's tuition

OF my wifes society whenever her mother

Yes. only last week. when he asked me

"oh. send them over TO your mother"
They might worry her." l ventured.
'She is not very strong now. you know"
Nonsense! She would love 20 have
them. II 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. 30 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 IL my mother and
loved me and mine. Yet he rebels II she
takes much OF my time.

And A. A. Nicholson had not measured

But when the huge Lick telescope. with

they must often pay: The decision OF
man: not God.
Since II was man himself who first
started the idea that woman was forever
lost II abe erred through tho emotions
or the passions. and saved II she
possessed no other virtue but chastity, Il
would seem that he has the right 20
overrule his own law. should he wish 20
do so, and take 20 wife the woman whose
great mistake some man was TO blame
for.
Yet. having built his wall, and society
having barbed &c at the top, It proves 10
be perilous or. at least. uncomfortable
undertaking when he attempts TO scale Il.
No long ago heard an intelligent and
broad-minded man assert a. q fact that
no woman who had erred. from what
ever cause or combination Of causes,
could afterward. however perfectly mated
and married, become the mother of well
balanced and finely organized children.
Demanding proof, was left with only
the speakers assertion. Yet some OF the
most useful and notably worthy people
OF the world have been branded by So
ciety ms ''iilegitimate." and many in
stances can be found OF noble wives and
excellent mothers OF good children who
have RISEN out OF the ashes OF error to
now birth OF pure womanhood.
AT the same time. in every social circle
In the land, can be found spotless mothers
OF reckless children who have Inherited
the fathers vices, There 10 ono reason
why II Ia more difficult for q man 70 re-
claim an errlng woman than for n woman
TO reclaim an erring man. Because of the
two codes OF morals man has mada for
the two sexes. the woman who fails
usually loses her solf-rcspect sooner than
does the man and falls TO lower depth
OF mental abasement
/ She becomes more reckless and Il IL
more difficult for her TO reform. The
laws of the world render the undertaking
peculiarly painful and she frequently re-
turns to her old life OF folly In despair
when all her aspirations ana inclinations
are for better course OF conduct.
The best thing for man to do who
contemplates marrying and reforming a
repentant woman Is 10 take her to new
scenes and surround her with new friends
and to let the mantle OF silence cover
her past. In no way should tho subject
be referred TO after he makes the woman
his wife, and by every act and word
should no endeavor TO build a new life
for her and TO obliterate the old from her
thoughts.
Unless nc can do this he had best not
attempt TO achieve the impossible or 20
! force the world TO accept her And to live
socially ostracized In the world ls to az
gravate the canker OF memory to a viru-
lent cancer, which destroys happiness.
