BY RUTH CAMERON

Not long ago 1 heard of a woman
who, when her husband died, was left
with a heavily mortgaged farm and a
family of three small children to pro-
vide for. Her needs were desperate;
she took desperate measures to meet
them, DOMINIC overallS and working
about the farm herself, as hard and
as long as a day laborer IL
The first year she managed to pay
the interest on the mortgage and feed
courage and determination renewed,
she began to specialize IN chickens and
straw berries. She worked harder than
ever; her hands grew rough, her com
pleXion coarse. But she wrung vic
tory from defeat. The mortgage was
lifted, she achieved a balance in the
bank. As the children grew older she
managed to send them, each in turn,
to college. By that time, of course,
she had men to relieve her from the
drudgery of farm work.
Isn't her record one to be proud of
Wouldn't you think that those chill
dren-two girls and a boy-would be
proud of their mother and make their
every act an expression of gratitude
to her for all they had received from
her?
1 surely thought they would feel
that way until, by chance, I met the
elder daughter I spoke to her of
her. 1 thought this would please the
daughter, but it didn't. Instead, she
froze up saying hastily:
ooh, that is quite exaggerated
Mother never did such things. She
really never worked hard at all"
1 thought, naturally, that 1 had
made mistake. But a friend of the
mother explained the mystery to me.
ooh, the children are all ashamed of
the fact that their mother worked as
she did You see they have been
away to college and they have new
friends and new IDEAS and they do the
best they can to keep people from

One year when we were travelling
with road company. we happened
to stop at Hew Haven and there
we saw Ethel Barrymore in "Car-
rots." It was during the Yale
prom and the evening we dropped
into the theater 1t swarmed like a
beehive with buzxing college boys.
L am sure Miss Barrymore will
never forget what an ovation those
cheering boys gave her, for in their
enthusiasm they almost mobbed
their way across the footiights. So
deatening was the applause and the
cries of Speech" that Miss Barry
more was forced to take the center
OF the stage after a curtain call and
say few words 10 them. Ii was
rather a disjointed speech because
every time she paused to catch her
breath. the boys would break in
with one of their wild college yells,
which would make a mere Battle OF
oannons pale into insignihcance.
Miss Barrymore's latest success
was Our Mrs. McChesney," de-
lightful comedy and one which we
al enjoyed very much.
