well, mother how's the family getting on?" According to his custom, David had softly opened the nursery door and come in to watch the putting -to-bed pro cess of his tiny son. By love, Muth'' he's getting better looking. He sure was a. fright month ago. wasn't he-er-ah- that is, of course, no worse than other infants, but not a -"
 Cora froze him with proud, maternal glare. brushed up sons fuzz with rlolc- ulous. ivory-backed implement which seemed to have fur instead of bristies and laid the little creature tenderly down in his bedlet Cora resolved from the start to train son in independence and self-re- lance. No rockings. No tip-toeing about the house with "Shush-shush-the baby 8 asleep? No, sir; David, junior, was to be no boresome mollycoddle.
 They stood few minutes beside his crib, arms about each other, eyes fixed on the human atom that now held them together more strongly than iron chains.
 Glad we've got him, dear?" whispered David with smile that showed how con fident he was of what his wife's answer would be.
 Glad! Oh. Dave. I'm glad childless women do not realize what they miss! People can be happy without children. But once they have them, the very thought of being without them isis ter rible. before the laddie came our marriage was Just a comradeship, 8 sort of friend ship. Now it's a true, true partnership dear; isn't it? Don't you feel the differ ence?"
 Gosh, should say I dol I feel as if we werewolf, permanent, somehow. We've got something outside ourselves to live for, work for, make sacrifices for. I guess 1t would take pretty big rumpus to separate us now the laddie's here, eh, Cora? None of your petty quarrels or misunderstanding would make you run home to mother or start me slamming doors and going to the club.
 He's a magnet, that small bundle in the crib. He's the foundation and cen ter of the most important thing on earth, girl-a home. I'm not one to moralize, I hope, but, by gosh, I'm going to do my share of making a real home for that

kid. It used to bore me the way men drooled about their young ones and swore to work hard and keep straight and sat fine examples, and all that sort of thing. But here I am drooling like the mischief myself and feeling exactly like the rest"
 Cora did not speak for moment; just stood with the little half smile on her face that was almost habitual now, and regarded her baby.
 'Tt's odd, Dave, how many parents feel their children owe them something, TO matter how little they do to train and educate them. They seem to think born ing them is enough-that the children should be grateful for geing allowed to come.
 T shall never be able to feel that way, Davy. don't believe I shall ever again, so long as I live, feel as if I were just myself-a creature separate and inde- pendent of that kiddie. Perhaps mothers all feel as I do I never thought about if before. But I feel as If he were still a. part of me. and that no matter what he does or where he goes I shall not be entirely myself again till he comes back. I feel so responsible for hinl-not that he is responsible for being here or for being himself whatever he turns out to be. l can't put it into words, Dave. l only know that I am responsible for him and to hirn-always."
 "You've got the right idea, Motherkin. But always remember this: r m as re- sponsble 8 you are. We're permanent partners in him, and we're going to take care of him together"

 The many Birmingham friends of Mrs. Helen Smith Woodruff will be interested in the following clipping from the New York World, which appeared with her picture recently:
 Lewis B. Woodruff, author and mem Der of many patriotic organizations, in cluding the Militia of Mercy, which has Sldtleu d tduipdl5u lpi Auliuo ACl t%iC families of naval militiamen while they are on war duty, has not waited for the women as a body to adopt a war time costume. She is going to wear hers every day from now on.
 Tn the work outlined by the Militia of Mercy I think it would be highly ini- proper for the women to visit these fam flies wearing expensive gowns, she said to World reporter yesterday in her home, 14 East SiXty-eighth street. "The women are going to play an important part in this war. and the dress adopted by them should be given serious thought. The psychological effect of all women, regardless of wealth or position, wearing the same sort of clothes would be tre- mendous.
 Mrs. Woodruff's uniform is made of khaki with llnickerbockers, skirt, pack ct, puttees, brown shoes and campaign hat"
