 An ounce of mother, runs an old Span ish proverb, is worth I ton of priest and the saying has been commended by a bishop of the Established church. The mother sentiment is one of the most popu- lar among those feelings which make up the emotional side of our life as a peo- pie.
 Step into a theatre or a moving picture house; pick up novel or a magazine you will find that mother plays her part almost s surely as the young lovers play theirs. She may not be cast for the lead, but she is rarely absent. When the vil- lain has an attack of remorse he renem- bers the prayers which he said as child at her knee. The picture palace illustrates the memory in a misty corner of the screen. and the real mothers in front are ready to cry. The girl whose father turns her out of doors for refusing the rich suitor her parents have chosen for her had still friend in her mother who may reappear later as Granny" in a poor. but happy home. Where, in popu- lar sentiment. will you find the mother without her halo? In literature there are a few unnatural mothers: it is because tEey are so exceptional that they stand out from pages made beautiful by innu- nerable portrayals of the true mother woman.

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
Fly FRANCES cowLEs. THE NICHOLSON FAMILY

When the Norman settlers in Eng land tried to pronounce the name Lin coln tley could get no better result than Noneol which later became Nicole. So some authorities on the meaning of last names explain the name Niehol of Ens- land. And it is a fact that earls of Iin- cola, after the conquest of England by the Normans. did call themselves the Contes de Michele. So some of the Mich olson family in America may be de- scended from someone who lived in the vicinity of the city of Lincoln, Eng, in the days when the Norman pronunciation of that name was still in vogue.
 The name is sometimes derived also from the Norman name of F1tz Nigel in England In other cases the name Is derived from Nicholas or Niehol.
 In all cases. of course. the last syl- able simply signifies son of In the first case il is the son of Nicole, or the son of some man who took his name from the location he lived in the vicinity of Loncolni in the second case 1t is the son of Nigel. an off, spring of the house of Fitz Nigell. In the third case Nicholson, first borne as a name designated the son Of some man named Nichol or Nicholas The family of the name in Northumberland and Cumberland, Eng. traces it's name to Nicholas, but in most cases there isl sthe greatest difficulty in establishing the real origin of this name
