Fly DOLLY DALnyMPLE

N T THIS happy New Year season LA\ the end of 6 perfect holiday S and the beginning of another milestone in our iives-when children have been the spirit and the life and joy of the hour-we cannot help think ing that whether the hand that rocks the cradle really ruled the world matters not one whit to the little woman whp has 8 cradle to rock, for where there are no children, there is no real Christ mas, no real New Years. no real spirit of the blessed Yuletide season.
 If there are two big blue eyes. or brown eyes, or gray eyes or hazel eyes or just eyes-lookng up from the little downy cradle it matters little to a mother whether her hand rules the world she lives in or not; if she did rule the world it couldn't give her half the joy that just being a mother gives her!
 Motherhood-the croWning glory of womanhood-makes every woman better in every way; l, don't see how it could be otherwise; a mother naturally wants to do more for her baby than for any body else-that is the law of nature and by doing more for her baby than for any
 body else she naturally does her best, adding comfort and joy to the life Of her child, thus developing the mother heart into one of universal love.
 Ever since the first time l saw Ruth Chester play the adorable mother in Turn to the Right" in the original New York production. her Sentleness, tender- ness and beautiful nature shining forth in this marvellous role, which changes the lives and destinies of three wayward boys -I have wanted to meet her and yes- terday-New Years Eve-I had that pleasure: and here was she-this lovely, ntle-hearted woman. so admirably fitted by divine right of beautiful wom- anhood to the role she plays-away from home and love and children and happy fireside at the one season of the year when "Mother' means much in the home. Truly, when I looked at this frail, sweet little woman, l felt that no mothers in the world make greater sacrifices than the women of the stage.
 The career of the actress mother, is a succession of trials and heartaches, and her only reward is the happiness that this sacrifice and heartache bring to her, when, at the end of season, she can be once more in her own home, surrounded by her own dear little babies,
 "A career on the stage anywhere else', Ruth Chester said to me, her sweet eyes beaming with tenderness and gentleness at the sentiment, lis but an incident to that greatest of all roles -motherhood
 T believe that every woman should have a large family she continued, flor sine can't be happy without it; at least four children 1 should say"
 But someone has declared that nine or. II is the proper number" l inter- rupted, ''one making a perfectly good

After that I was in three Broadway suc- cesses right in suceession; first with J. E. Dodson in the The House Next Door, playing a mother part; then Stop Thief in which l played another mother part; and then came Turn to the Right so you see the role follows me The night before coming to Birmingham, as we were leaving Chattanooga, it seemed to me that every soldier in the world was at the depot and they cried to me as l passed, 'Good-by, mother, so you see it is easy to become associa- ted with a part even off of the stage these soldiers had packed the theatre to see the play
 Motherhood" said Miss Chester, lis the most wonderful thing in the world To my mind the two most impoEant epochs in a woman's life are when she gives her first kiss to her sweetheart, and when she gives her first kiss to he. first-born. If woman misses this-she has missed the greatest thing in life.'
 That is where we women have the ad- vantage over men," Miss Chester said, smilingly. T always feel so sorry for men because they can never know the joy of being mothers. No man, of course can realize or appreciate the happiness and intensity of mother love, this great est, most powerful and altogether sub
 
 exclusively for women and 1 believe there are very few of us who do not appreciate it's sacredness, it's beauty and it's unutterable joy.
 q was an only child,' Miss Chester said, "and I think that accounts largely for my tremendously developed mother instinct I always wanted brothers and sisters but I had none, consequently everything I saw 1 'mothered.' And let toI 1itt1e Spcrat. | traVel all over the world 'play-acting' I never see a child. never hear the cry of bapy that I don't wish that child belonged to me- Only yesterday at the statlon' a big, brown ed, husky little chap, curly haired and rosy-cheeked gained the ad- miration of every member of our com pany as we waited in the depot together and all of us thought of home and Christmas and New Years, and the sweet mother time when the little brood all gathers under the mother wing anu looks to mother for help.
 "I can't refrain from telling you, Miss Chester said, brushing back ITO Il her noble forehead the stray Wlsps or lovely redgold hair from above her pead- tiful, blue-gra eyes, now much lofe the part of the mother which l am play ing in Turn to the Right And also 10 tell you that the same spirit of com radeship exists among those boys or the play in real life who look upon me and to me- as a real mother. That IS some compensation for being away from home during the mother season-the Christmas and New Year season, isn't 1T? Also I feel compensated when l think our play, which has such a wonoer1ui atmosphere and such sweet mother note in it brings the home and it's sweet ness and it's purity and it's loving en- vironments back to those who may have grown hard and far away from home and the mother love-"
