her, and I learned that she had. been
, somewhat upset by the behavior Of a
young mother she had recently visited.
When she held the baby in her lap. the
mother explained patiently that we do
not hold babies that way any more
When she patted the baby's cheek the
mother intimated that the stroking
might not be good for baby; and sew
eral times during the visit she was
made to feel that she really did not
know the latest thing in these matters
When she was about TO leave and
waved her hand TO the baby In friend
" "bye-bye," the mother turned the
child away to save IL from whatever
injury the ceremony might infict.
This Baby Romped on the Floor.
The uneasiness resulting from this
visit TO an up-to-date mother was
turned TO deep perplexity by visit TO
another up-to-date mother whose eigh-
teen months old girl was romping
about with the older children in
boisterous, old-fashioned way. And
when the father came home he romped
with her, threw her up into the air and
caught her in his arms. made her
tumble about on the floor. and other
wise gave evidence that he did not con-
slider the baby piece Of delicate brio
a-brac to be kept under a glass globe.
II is no wonder the good woman was
perplexed. She remembered that the
hothouse baby, that no one was allowed
to handle. did not look as bright as
the one that was played with so heart
ily; but she did not know whether

other mothers, Kate Douglas Wiggin
answers in her definition OF the world
mother, the Sovereign woman" she
has called her. And she doesn't need
suffrage to help her do all that Mrs.
Riggs says she must do, the latter be-
lieves.
The World Mother.
at Is the world-mother who is the
sovereign woman, and if she is really
that, she will see reflected in the shining
eyes of her own children the tired,
hungry faces OF other peoples chill
dren," she argues. "She will feel their
need of her benefcent aid, their right
to her inspiring touch. For these are
the children not of sovereign woman,
but of those who have been dragged
through the heat and mre and dust of
life; children born without love and
nourished in fear and despair. In such
woman the heart of her husband
may safely trust but" Mrs. Riggs
adds, that is not enough.
"The sovereign woman must be
something more splendid even than
that. She II ust be the priestess of fine
and pure ideals, the guardian of high
standards. The heart of childhood
must be able to trust in her, and the
heart of the nation. too. Mother of
children, yes, that Is much; but she
must be mother of soldiers, Of states
men, of scholars, of kings and queens,
and, if it be the will of God, even of
saints; for the saints must be moth
cred, and none but the sovereign wom-
en- are worthy"
And by striving TO be sovereign
women" Mrs. Riggs believes woman
kind can accomplish more good In the
world than by striving to be voters.

have done more IL had been able to
vote" she added.

forget for the moment the cause and
their rights and consider a little
whether they cannot create for them
selves a broader perspective, a sounder
sense Of values, then all the honest
desire for improvement indicated by
the present unrest might indeed be
both hopeful and helpful. But until
such point Of view becomes general
the words of sound and reasonable
students of human nature must fall
upon deaf ears
Kate Douglas Wiggin, who in real
lie is Mrs. George C. Riggs, is as
charming and gentle woman as one
would expect the author OF Birds
Christmas Carol" "Rebecca Of sunnv-
brook Farm" and mother Carev's
Chickens" to be. She Is also a woman
OF broad vision and much experience
In social service. Shs started the frs,
free kindergarten on the Pacific Coast.
and she has been engaged for years
in settlement work.
Femlnism Hasn't Captured This Woman
II am an old-fashioned woman" she
said, "and this wave of feminism has
not engulfed me. II seems to me rather
futile, but | don't want TO discuss the
restlessness Of women; II Is too banal
now ! want TO add, however, that
women must not be too old-fashioned.
They mustn't cling TO the past and its
preJudices. They must be Influenced
by modern thought and by problems of
to-day. You know, If our grandmothers
had faced these same issues and prob
lens they would have been different
women. However, my general feeling
is that in attempting TO deal with
modern life as courageously and broad
ly and conscientously as possible, we
have unconsciously parted with some
thing rather desirable and precious"
"And what Is thatp she was asked.
"Well, II is too intangible to eI-
plain, but | am sure most people un-
derstand what I mesn," she answered.

women should have the vote to help

greatly needed by the workers All

Took Baby to Visit Grandparents.

! The opposite extreme is illustrated
! by a couple who took their first child
with them TO visit the grandparents,
going alternate week-ends TO the two
families and exposing the child TO new
faces and new surroundings constantly.
The admiring cousins and uncles and
aunts did their share in providing eX-
citement-for their own amusement, of
course. and not out of special con-
sideration for the needs of the child.
