I know mother with four children
who made up her mind that home
should be a very heaven. To her,
music was Gods special gift to moth

singing regularly with each of her
babies.

mother can learn, and the best of
all are the folk songs of different
countries.

the room did linger, and it finally grew
to sufficient proportions to demand my

poured the boiling water into the dish
pan and swashed the soap-shaker up
and down absent-nindedly. why Is
1t that she prefers sweeping the back
porch to playing with her dolls house?
Why does she hang about the kitchen
watching me cook instead of using that
fascinating dolls stove of hers?'
