A MOTHERS PROMISE
TO HER SON
Bv KATHLEEN NORRIS

stay. Gust as you planned l planned,
and l said to myself: "When the time
comes for us"to part I shall make him
a promise" Dear one, this is my
promise, and / make it for the term
of your own-"for the duration of the
present war;"
I promise you that while you are
away, whether it is months or years,
nothing except what 1 can give you
and give all the others shall fill my
life. l promise you that l shall de-
vote myself, here in safety, to the
work Of making what you do easier
and stronger and safer for you. I
promise you that I shall. give-and
give and give-for the Cause! Not
the money I can spare, not the time
l have left when everything else is
done, but all the money. all the time,
all the energy I have!
Your whole life has been altered,
has been set to sterner and graver
music. So shall mine be. You will
know self denial, %privation and fatigue
while. the var lasts. So shall I know
them. Even If black news comes, even
II the blacklist comes, I shall remem-
Der that against your brave heart this
promise is resting, and I shall go on.
And while there is m man among our
million. and among the millions of our
allies who needs clothing and nursing
and comforts and solace for your sake
l shall not fail him.
Perhaps in Gods goodness this note
will come safely back to me in the
olive drab pocket, and we will smile
over it together. But, remember, until
that hour comes / shall be always busy
filling my own small place in the great
machine Of mercy and as truly under
the, colors v e here as you are over
there. God bless you!

My Dear One-I'm writing this very,
very small and on the thinnest OF pa
per, SO that tightly folded it may slip
into one of the olive drab pockets Of
your new uniform without encroaching
for the tiniest part of an inch upon all
the new things that you must have
there-the passports and identified
ton slips and photograph, the knife
and pen and writing pad, the lists
and numbers and ame and ciphers,
the address book and the thin manual
you have been studying so hard and
the slim little Bible, for this letter Is
a part of your. equipment, too, or at
least | like to think that it is.
I'm going to tell you in it just one
or two of the things we've been try
ing not to sayin these last days. You've
said to yourself, haven't you, that
there were possibilities that I, thank
God, hadn't seemed to think Of.
You've marvelled gratefully, haven't
you, that I could say goodby with
dry eyes and talk about what we
should do when the war is over. My
dear, there is nothing-nothing-that
can happen to you that / haven't fore
seer in every detail since May, since
the very beginning of it all. l know
that some of our men are not going to
come back. l knOw-as I write this
in the room you l0ve-that your fin
gers may tumble for this little piece
of paper in some dreadful hour, q
month or two months or six months
from now, just to read it owe once
more for the last time, just to feel
in your fingers out there in a shell
lighted battlefield something that I
have touched-for goodbye.
And thinking of all this for almost
q year while you've been getting
ready to go I've been getting ready to

It is not always the children's fault

fered from the age of three from kid

worse. The kidney secretdons pass

as I had often heard of them and
