white cradle, and somewhere between
that hour of darkness and dawn sends
a prayer heavenward for the safety of
her child.
"It is a mothers heart that Is torn
in anguish, when the silver cord is loosed
and the golden bowl is broken and the
spirit of her child Is returned to the
bosom of it's Maker. She is ever a

MORE SACRIFICES
STILL TO BE MADE.
with induIgent efforts amid much
sacrifice, toiling upward in the night,
she neatly packs the trunk with frills
and furbelows, and sends the daughter
to yonder institution of learning. 1t is
the mother who sacrifices her finger tips,
counting her beads in hushed tones, least
the world shall know, in order that heI
daughter may be able to compete with
the men and women of affairs in the
world today. She it is who undertakes
to shoulder burdens and smiles as she
bears them forward in anticipation of a
rosy future for her child. If the family

for the sake of home and its inmates. She
continues faithfully at her daily grind

fullness of her hand. Her children are
alive to the progressive interests, COM

fury.
However, in depicting mother Instinct
and love and the institution which comes
to them, all mothers and fathers possess
the same natural tendencies, some, being
more progressive than others; their in
stincts having been trained into habits
that preceded them and their children
into the advent of world and conse-
Quently constitute more apt tendency to
develop and cultivate the native instincts,
that are their ancestral heritages.

Nor is that all, she is giving much

take care Of her properly; feed, clothe
and protect her; perhaps give her a
bank account of her very own, on which
she is privileged to draw as she pleases
and render unto Caesar no account of her
expenditures, then she is not very par
ticular about becoming his wife, nursing
his ailments or catering to his whims.
THE doors Of the world have unlocked

WOMAN PROUD
OF HER INSIGNIA.

insignia, the browning virtue of her life.
God placed within her arms the helpless
child and within her heart the instinct

OF man, the father of her child, with
her breath hot upon his cheek, while
she prays for affection and protection.

shadows from the frelights glow still
envelop the form of mother, as she
be SO?
TO a mother, in business or out her
children are her most significant posses
sion, and her thoughts are pregnant with
the hope that she become realistic in her
pursuit of ideals for the advancement
Of her daughters She enters upon
remunerative career, not to popularize
der circumstances when he weakens, and
that she may be better equipped to
p penaer service ~ e. In the fundamental
her family and the efficiency of their
childhood.
Equipped parenthood comprises a
vast scope OF territory, including men
tai ability, physical strength, moral forti-
tude and financial support.
Through the centuries woman has
looked to man as her supporter, while
he in turn has recognized woman as his
comforter. All men are made to be ag-
gressive and dogmatic; when they are
otherwise they are faced, and unless a
wife contributes something of her own
assertiveneSs to his business, no matter
Its caliber, he is failure. Most wom-
en- have somewhere hidden within the re-
cesses Of their hearts burden which
they bear; a deep faith in a husband;
an unfaltering trust in Divinity an un-
wavering possession of self, the integral
unit of which is hope, which gives to her
sustaining grace and an unchanging
desire to be unequivocal.
WOMAN IS SOUE
OF PATIENCE
Woman, real woman, is the soul Of pa
thence; God gave her strength to live,
though size suffer much, and man, real
man, looks upon woman as his benefac-
tress and as his counter part. What is
she to man, to whom she has pledged or
may pledge her life? She smoothes the
path and makes it pleasant for him to
tread, she bears the burdens which are
too great for him to carry, she develops
serenity Of soul and Christian poise, un-
der circumstances whee he weakens, and
without the support Of woman man would
fall Sinister influences easily corrupt
man if he is commercially inclined, un-
less he is strengthened by unadulterated
womanhood.
Woman has her place in the world,
yea, even by the side of men. 1t were
gross ignorance to separate the birds of
the air, much less to agitate the ques-
ton of women In the affairs of the world
In direct connection with man she has
been his partner in domestic life, and
has proven faithful to her trust. Why,
then, should man question her ability
in the business world, or fear her do
minion over him In the political realm.
Have we as mother not played fair,
and will our daughters betray the trust ]
