It was a loan of life. The mother lent her son to God, and the loan was for life. Thus runs the story of Han nah and Samuel For this child l prayed. and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of Him; therefore also. I have lent him to the Lord: as long as he liveth shall he be lent to the Lord" Did she have any right to negotiate such a loan? Is it going too far for even 9 mother to try to shunt life into a particular groove.
 It would seem that mother should possess some rights and some author ity. We vaguely recognize that she has, for no man ever gets so high and mighty but he retains a sneaking con viction that his mother has authority to take him down. At one of their annual gatherings, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers proposed this toast: Our mothers, those faithful tenders. that never misplaced switch!" Surely after all the sacri- not sacrilege for her faith to lay him on Gods altar and say: He Is thine '"
 It is a great thing for a mother to do Would that more would follow petition with dedication, It is some thing to clamor at Gods altar for what He can do for your child; it is greater to be concerned with what your child can do for God and his generation. For after all, destiny is not determined so much by the gains VIC acquire as by the service we render. No. mother does not go too far who dedicates her

THE BOOK OF DEBORAH Bob Didn't Care to Know the Truth About Miss Miller, Felt

The truth about Benjie's romance was known to but four or five persons. He was supposed to have married wife in Canada just before he died. Not even Katherines mother, much less the public, surmised her secret.
 Katherine had seen her child sew eral times at the Lorimer house and more thaan once had I watched her shrink away from her own flesh and bloodi Never had I known her to be- tray even normal interest in her baby except as bait to attract Bob!
 And so when Bob announced that the tiger woman had requested him t. call to talk about Babs, I wasn't the least bit modified. I had gone through awfully unhappy. and Bob knew 1t. and if he loved me at all, he ought to spare me a repetition of my old misery, said to myself, then aloud:
 You have a business office down town, Bob, where woman can call in the day time!"
 With twenty employees ready to chatter if the citys famous beauty came to me instead of going to her her lawyers never had her secret"
 ''Yes-I know" I assented.
 Katherine is determined to take Babs away from mother" Bob con- tinued.

child to some great. unselfish task. and who seeks to direct his choice thither
 Perhaps some may feel that it is rough on Samuel. Should not one be left free to choose his own career? Was not religion crowded in on him overmuch? His individuality was dis regarded. His personality was not al- lowed to develop according to his per sonal preferences. Some men talk this way about the parental love and faith which sought to steer their lives God ward. They are bad now because they had religion rammed down in their childhood. One wonders what saints these worthies might have become if only they had been let run wild. If Samuel ever felt this way about his mother, he was not graceless enough to say so. No doubt he had abundant op- portunity later to choose for himself, but he validated his mothers loan.
 Children have their rights. and they are to be respected. But parents have a responsibility, and it is not to be shirked. Life is a strange and complex thing. Character is played upon by myriads of subtle influences. It is not an accident that the child is bound to his mother during life's most formative period. It is that the potter may fash ion the clay for shape and use.

NEW YORK-No style of modern hair dressing has appealed to all ages as much as the Bob" which seems even to be growing yn popularity.

 It was Irene Castle, at the time of her dancing fame who first introduced this cut in America Her coiffure H. illustrates the effect of bobbed hair when dressed for evening wear It seems to be worn to advantage better with an evening gown than anything else, particularly if one has an animat- ed expression Tn this case the hair has been parted slightly on one side and combed back, so that it droops slightly on the forehead To keep 1t in place a fancy bandeau is used. We'll defined loose curls are arranged all around the head, which lends a soft ening effect to the features.
 Artistic Bob
 Marion Davies illustrates how we'll formed features, a'full face and plump neck are set off by the bob. In this case the hair is parted on one side and combed over the top of the head so that it falls naturally without the necessity of keeping 1t in place with bandeau. The hair is not allowed to grow too long. the ears beaing barely covered and the loose curls falling gracefully in place.

QUEER SITUATIONS
 IN DIVORCE TANCLE

Marriage is like the movies" said one young war bride Reno -divorcee. You can go into the show and if you don't like it you can get up and go out" War brides figured in 40 per cent of last years Reno divorces- ending marriages of haste and passing excitement. In nearly half our states it is not even necessary to register a marriage. Just think of itl In a single year the divorces granted in America were more than double the number in 20 European countries com bined. We have IS separate divorce laws-one for every state. Did you know that in some states if you marry a divorced man you can later be named as his correspondent At the begin ming of a trip in one state you may be mans wife and at the end in an other state the law may look on you as dishonored woman. If you take your children out of one state into another they may be considered ille- gitimate. You can be the legal wife of two men. of either of them, or of neither-at the same time. You can be both single and a bigamist at the same time in some states. Helen Ring Robinson's discussion of marriage and divorce in Pictorial Review for Oc- tober discloses some amazing, ludi- crous and tragic results of our chaotic divorce situation. She gives a graphic pen-portrait of Reno. the divorce boom town, what it is and what it does.
