But the real test. and the real triumph,
was when she found that in the rural New
England villages copies of her book were
never on the library shelves, that they were
in such demand that they were actually
being worn to tstters and having to be re-
placed. Then she felt that perhaps she
really had scored bullseye.
For, as a rule, rural communities do not
care for books which are supposed to depict
life as they live it. They resent alike the
writer who sentimentalizes over them and
the writer who caricatures them. They ask
more often for books about princes and
lords. and dukes and dukesses and things"
or about the Apaches of Paris, or the
millionaire rogues of New York or Pitts
burgh. But here they were preferring Mrs
Keyes's "Old Grey Homestead-Grey is
family name rather than a descriptive ad-
jective, though it also describes-to the
marble palaces of the nobility or the homes
of gilded vice. Then Mrs. Keyes felt that
she had done something worth while.

Moreover, although she is a compact little
woman, inclined to be fresh colored, she is
not very strong. She has had several
severe illnesses and one or two serious oper-

Sixteenth street, in Washington; near the
top of the Sixteenth street hill, whence they
can look down on the entire city, even on
the Capitol, and the flashing river encircling
it Then again, perhaps it was largely
matter of taking what they could get that
was in any way suitable.
Anyhow, that is where Senstor and Mrs.
Keyes live when they are in Washington
which so far as the senator is concerned has
been pretty nearly all the time since he
came down early last spring and waited
around kicking his heels-for lack of any
thing else to kick-for the President to call
the extraordinary session Of the Sixty sixth
Congress. Mrs. Keyes and the boys-they
have three sons, of whom the two elder are
away at good New England schools, prepar-
ing ultimately to enter good New England
colleges, and only the. youngest, a rather
delicate child of perhaps eight or nine, has
been with them this winter-spent the
summer up on the farm, after having estab-
lished the senator in summer quarters out
at Chevy Chase.

was in Washington last spring Mrs. Keyes

something of their country's capital-and,
most exciting of all, getting out that first
book of hers. Which is indeed thrill that
comes but once in a lifetime!
Moreover, It is a good book-''The Old

England. As already stated, the critics
have acclaimed it, which is, of course, dis
tinctly agreeable. And her boys had only

The Exception

A BALTIMORE man recently wrote to .
n lawyer in another town Of Maryland
seeking information as to the standing Of a
person there who had for a long time been
indebted to the Baltimore man for a con.
siderable sum of money. In this letter tb.
writer asked: What property has be that
I could attach"
The attorneys reply was prompt and to
the point:

gist and feminist is beginning to say that -
goes right along with them sne switches.
Il fully believe that women can do every
thing that men can DO, and do it well But
it seems to me an overwhelming pity that,
except in emergencies, like war. they should
either have TO or want to. For men can
not do everything that women can do
cannot do it at all. without any question
Of doing it well. And the things that womeB
only can do seem to me the greatest and
the most important in the whole world We
need economic independence very much in
deed, and the sooner the better; but we
need mothers very much more"
She rather deprecates the general unrest
bred of war, which will leave mothers TO
seek outside careers She tells how even in
the little way that she has gone On her
literary career people have asked her il she
did not fnd her family a great drawback to
her career. and have urged her 10 give up
all Ler time to writing. Those people should
have talked to her one morning recently
when she was more or less Of q wreck, hsv-
ing been up all night with her boys, who had
been having rather a bad time with whoop-
ing cough. Apparently she had yet to be
a serious drawback. which seems 70 her IL
might be- as an outside career con
sccntiously followed is, or should be- hard.
less absorbing than that of motherhood
For success is only to be attained by single
ness of purpose"
MOTHERHOOD is to her the greatest
WI career of all. She quotes the Jesuit:
Give me a child until he is ten. and any
one can have him after that. He will be
a good Catholic all his life" And argues that
a mother ought to say: Give me a child
until he is ten, and after that any one can
have him; he will be a good man all his
life"
And that is why she feels very strongly
that all the women in the country, and all
the men too, ought to get tosether behind
the Sheppard -Towner bill; why when th.
opportunity offered to enlist a large number
of intelligent, influential women such as
were presumably present at that college
wOmens banquet, she hurled a few facts at
their heads; told them that Uncle Sam WAS
spending S45,000,0OO a year to conserve
hogs and COWS, but not one cent 10 conserve
mothers in the perils Of childbirth, Of whom
-, 900 are dying unnecessarily each wear in
these United States; or their little ones. OF
whom 10000 are dying unnecessarily each
year in their first six months, many Of
them as the direct result Of losing their
mothers.
That is why she has let herself in for q
who're lot of speaking and writing and
work Of all sorts. That is why she i.
using her influence, SO far as she feels that
the wife of senator who will have 10
vote on that bill she could properly use il
to advance the Sheppard bill That is wby
she has broken through her resolve not to
let Washington know that she could make
a speech. In short, that is why she followed
the example of the young man from Ostepd
who did what he didn't intend"

Probably she has had, on the whole, fewer
duties in Washington as probably the
youngest-she is even now less than thirty
fve--of the senatorial, and certainly one
who was Immediately recognized as one OF
those best worth cultivating, than she mas
had for the asst ten years before she came
here. And at that her life in Washington
has not been exactly dull
She told me with keen enjoyment of how
she first broke into print-less than three
years sgo-and in a publication that has
since ceased to publish. She had dreamed
her dreams Of some day writing for publica
tion, out in the extreme busy ness of her
life she had almost forgotten those girlish
dreams. They had been so laughed at and
nobody had seemed in the least interested in
her ambitions. Moreover, they wished she
wouldn't try to use the typewriter-she
would only get it all out of whack so that
nobody else could use it. As for her being
able to write, she'd better forget it! So she
tried TO- and there was so much else to do
that she pretty nearly. succeeded.
pCI one night. when she returned after
- two or three days motoring trip with
the governor to distant part of the
state, she found in an accumulation of mail
awaiting her large, imposing envelope, en-
closing large, imposing and very heavy sta

vogeis Minstrels, Blind Husbands and
Other Attractions at the Temple
Next Week
Next Wednesday night John w.
Vogeps minstrel show will be the at
traction at the Temple theatre. This
is the first season that this minstrel
has come so far south. They recently
gave a performance at Athens, Ga,
and commenting on the show the Ath-
ems Banner said:
John w. Vogel's Big Minstrels was
at the Colonial last night; also large
and well pleased audience. Did they
enjoy it? Well, we'll say they did, for
lit was a good show Fhom the first
part, "A Midsummer Dream stage
setting and all, the burnt cork artists
and the vocalists warmed the audience
right up until everybody was of the
opinion that Nat Danzig's song "A
Good Man Is Hard to Find" did not
apply to Mr. Vogers choice when he
picked his company.
t'There was everything to enjoy
about the minstrel that you expect
in that kind of show, and then just
little bit more. While some of the
Jokes were not of the latest model the
way they were told got them across
all right. The music both vocal and
instrumental was good and Harvey
Morton, billed as the Master Musical
Moke," was certainly that, and charm
ed with his selections. The entire
company is above the average in
minstrelsy and that is saying a great
deal now that there are some mighty
good ones that come Athens way.
