MOTHER TO MOTHER
THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, SUNDAY STORY
A COMPLETE NOVELETTE,

mother-love and sympathy and un-
derstanding-the understanding that
had come only when she became a
mother herself, Instead. the summer
after she left high school, in spite of
all her mother could say against mar
rying so young, she had insisted upon
marrying Ed and a year later gone
a whole continent away from her.
In the weeks that followed Lizzie
Andrews went about her work as
usual-eXcept for the white. haggard
look on her face, the infinite sadness
in her eyes. But no matter how busy
she kept her hands, no present task
could hold her thoughts. They lived
in the past. And constantly she re-
called some lf-sacrifice on her
mothers part-some act of mother
love and devotion-not with the
sweetness of treasured memories, but
as bitter self-accusations of morbid
brooding Her mother had given
everything. She had given nothing
in return. And now il was too late.
1t was an unusually busy day. Be-
sides her everyday work, Lizzie An
drews discovered her cake box was
empty and had made a fresh batch
Of cookies. In the midst of her bak-
ing Billy had come into the kitchen
and, perching on corner of the
table, began to MUNICH cookies by the
wholesale. 1t always gave her a pc
culiar satisfaction to see Billy eat
cookies. His appreciation was so
complete Not that he ever said any
thing. He did not even give one of
his dear grins Grins were too super
ficial. When Billy was most ecstatic
he fairly -scowled. He scowled now
and moved his jaws with a master
fulness beautiful to watch.

Just little more soup, ] think.
She likes soup" And the speaker, a
well-meaning woman to whom the
word appeal" meant nothing,
splashed some more soup into wide
soup plate and balanced the heavy
tray high on her shoulder as she be-
gan the ascent Of the kitchen stairs.
The woman who had made the soup
looked after her with sigh. THAT
tray will come down with next to
nothing eaten off it," she unused.
And small wonder. She might be

piles up the tray for that poor sick
girl, ever since the doctor said to in

said to herself, "and made a bit OF
toast, instead of her having those
selfsame crackers day after day. ]

some day at meal time and I'd serve

dress she had been making for Diana.
Shed had a lot of trouble over it..
But Di looked lovely in it and took
such girlish pleasure in her appear
ance that Lizzie Andrews's heart felt
a warm glow for the rest of the after
noon. Tired and hot, she was in the
midst of getting supper when the
new baby woke up and cried. Drop
ping everything, she ran up the stairs
to the nursery, where she had put it
to sleep. The cry stopped the IN
stant she entered the room and when
she hung over the bed the new baby
looked up and smiled at her.
1t was her fifth baby. for two chill
dren had died, but Lizzie Andrews
never failed to thrill at that sweetest
of miracles in all a mothers expert
ence; The first time that her baby
looks smilingly UP at her with real
recognition in it's love-lighted eyes.
And suddenly it came to her in a
tremendous flood of tender comfort.
Her mother had not given all and re-
ceived nothing in return. From the
beginning she had given back. The
stir at heart and the thrill. such as
her baby's smile and love-lighted
look had given her. The warm glow
she had received from Diana's happi-
ness, the satisfaction that had been
hers in Billy's qualification over the
homely trifle of the cookies.
The act of loving is its own reward,
We mothers need no pity.
With tears set free for the first
time since Ellie's letter brought its
bad news, Lizzie Andrews stood be-
fore the dear picture the children had
been taught to kiss. mother to
mother. without agony of spirit or
morbid self blame.

ARTEMus WASN'T ONLY JOKER

In "Saveage Club Papers" for 1868
there is an amusing article from the
nen OF DIR. Kingston, who acted as
mdvance agent for Artemus Ward on
his lecture tour through the far west
efn states and territories. The Saw

Just Between Ourselves
BY DELLA e. STEWART

A certain woman has recently be-
come the possessor of a wonderful
sable coat which cost 100000. That's
most as much as you and ! spent on
our winter wrap, isn't Il?
Yet, when we think of 1t. 100000
was but small part Of the cost of
the garment. It's a pretty difficult
matter to count the real cost of any
thing. Many graduate of higher
mathematics fails here.

of over 100 sables, and three years

AMERICAN HuMoR Is CLEAN

American humor differs from the
FUN OF other countries in variety of
ways without losing anything in the
comparison. There have been many
men OF letters in this country who
have achieved fame and fortune as
funny men," and it is pleasant to
remember that practically all of them
have won their laurels through a
humor tha taiIns to entertain and in
struct without leaving anything in
the form of a scar.
In some countries sex is at the bot
tom OF nearly every idea of fun; in
others satire is the standard of wit.
and in others the broad" jest is best
understood.
In humor's hall of fame as Ameri-
cans know it are such names of Mark
Twain, Bill Nye, James Whitcomb
Riley, Artemus Ward, Eli Perkins,
Robert Burdette and a long list of
others, few Of whom ever found 1t
necessary to throw any verbal brick
bats Or resort to vulgarity to gain the
followings which they enjoyed. Re
cent years have developed successors
to the delightful jokers of other days,

did they get It? Was it their own
money? Or is Germany on the lists
for an unlimited charge account?

Although the disease is no respecter
