HOME TO MOTHER
What Usually Happens on Sons
Brief Visit.
But This Doesn't by Any Means Imply
That the Reunion Is Not Thor
oughIy Enjoyable.

''Wen, I'm going home to see my
mother" announced the man in the
next Office.
And everybody was delighted.
It's so nice to hear of grown, busy
man, all filed with business cares and
interest, who pushes them aside early
Saturday morning and takes long,
And so the women in the Office be-
came all sentimental and touched be-
cause this man was going all that dis
lance to see his mother.
When he got back on Monday morn
ing they pounced on him to know
whether he had had good time.
There was scarcely one of them who
wasn't imagining the soft-music by the
orchestra scenes which must have
taken place at the reunion.
Yes, l saw my mother" said the
returned prodigal, "and l had fine
time-went fishing all day Sunday"
BY careful calculation it was discov-
cred that out of the day and half
which he spent at home he had spent
most of the half day with his mother.
Nine times out of ten this is what
happens when a boy comes home after
long absence.
All the time he is away he wants to
see his mother; his greatest hope is
that vacation, short or long, which will
give him chance to get home.
And home means mother.
When it arrives he catches the first
train out, and almost runs from the
station to the house; he is so crazy to
see his mother.
Having seen her, and heard all her
news and told all his, he eats the best
meal he has had in ages, sleeps in his
own bed in his own room for the first
time in ages, eats huge breakfast the
next morning-and goes out.
He may go TO attend to some bust
ness, he may go to the movies, he may
go to see his best girl-or he may go
fishing.
But he goes out-and he stays out
until time for the next meal.
Unkind? Selfish? No. he doesn't
mean to be.
Coming home, even for a short time,
means just that to him; he loves to
think that he's home now, and he can
do anything he pleases.
He has his mother right there where
he can see her and talk to her any
time he wants to.
1t is very nice, comforting feeling,
and all he needs, all he has wished for
during the long weeks of his absence.
OF course. il isn't all she wants or
all she needs; she would like to have
him every minute of the short time he
has at home and she tries to arrange
things so that she can.
Even if the visit isn't very comfort
ing to her as far as seeing her son long
enough is concerned, she knows that he
has been as anxious to get home as she
was TO have him come.
And that the most important part of
being home is in being near mother
