Foreign conditions are not to the

Today's action was along lines that

| have been TO your house, my dear
George and seen YOU in your family life,
and | am going to exercise the perilous
privilege of an old friend and tell you
about a fault of yours,
You are rather a decent chap. clean
and straight; you work hard and are
bound to get on Everybody likes you.
Your mother worships YOU.
It's about her I'm thinking. | knew
her when her checks were like apples and
her black hair hung in two braids down
her back She Was wonderfully pretty.

girls, made to be loved and cared for.

She's sweet yet, but the black hair has
grayed. and lot of troubles have run
their burrows in her face. And she hasn't
youth any more
Perhaps that's the trouble You have
youth. And youth Is essentially selfish,
unconsciously SO. And YOU can't see
what YOU are doing to her
You are slowly asphyxiating her You
are making it SO that She cares less and
less TO live She is not getting bitter.
She couldn't But her soul is growing
grayer and dulier and dl1er every day.
What She, starving for is apprecia-
tjon No woman can live and bloom with
out that. She can go on doing her duty,
but she cannot keep the joy Of life.
You take for granted all She does for
YOU. She always has looked after YOU
and it has become matter Of course.
have been panied 70 see you quietly take
a hundred little attentions from her and
never seem TO mark how much they
mean
You do not realize the daily sacrifices
She IT., kes IN order to have ready for You
what you want when you want 1t
She sometimes does things 10 surprise
you and YOU do not even notice. Do you
know how this hurts her?
You are all she has left Your father
and sister are gone. All the mighty river
of your mothers love pours into. you. Do
you repay her?
Every one must have his pay And
the pay Of love is appreciation Money
could not buy the service your mother
renders YOU. Still, il has its price.
You never bring her flower. You
never take her anywhere. Your life is
filled with your young companions And
mighty pathetic to me is the lonely look
in your mothers eyes.
Give her more of your time, George.
Put forth some of that minute careful
ness toward hcr that she uses toward
You. Don't wait until She, dead. Think
up little acts of tenderness that will sur
prise her. O
And YOU viii be glad to see the sparkle
come back to her eye and the spring 70
her step
don't believe YOU are stupid. You
are not a hopeless egotist. That is why
am daring TO write 20 you.
Wake up, George, and make love to
your mother You'll never find any other
woman-wife or sweetheart or soul-mate
that will give you just that loyal, utter
devotion she gives you.
I'm thinking Of that Kitty Mason Of
nineteen | used 70 know, with her black
braids and her eyes full Of love and
laughter, and Of the tired but heroic soul
/ I see now in those same eyes, and I'm
