NEGOTIATIONS

WHY Not stay MarT.ied

why NOT stay Married
THERE is something awfully
binding about the marriage
tie. 1t is full of knots ought.
nots, wilt-nots, shalt-nots and
what.nots--which you never dis
cover until you try to unravel it.
Any normal woman can find
forty knots binding her to mar.
riage, to one loose end. which
might encourage her to get a
divorce.
Why? oh well, BECAUSE =!
Because marriage is a life-job,
which she might not be able TO
duplicate at the same salary"
anywhere else.
Because she Ii a women: and
her code, her conscience and her
natural instincts are all against
the idea of deserving The man she
has promised to love, honor and
abide with.
Because she sees few husbands
for whom she'd care to exchange
her own, and few marriages that
appear to have any more glamour
or 20 be any nearer to perfection,
than hers.
Because she has acquired that
married feeling" and she Shud-
ders when she Visualizes herself
as "Nobody's wife"
Because, in spite Of her short
skirts and her 'facials." she sus-
poets that middle-ase Is on the
way. and knows that in this age
of flappers, her chances of find

slim and uncertain as a tea room

enough to do what these SIX
mothers did. They wiped their

and smoothed their hair and
drove back the panic from their
quivering threats.
AND THEY WALKED OUT
OF THE DOOR AND WENT TO
SCHOOL,
they went to school to learn
the things their children were
learning.
They put aside their pride and
their prejudice, their despair,
their suspicion and heaviness the
years had brought, and they be-
gan as little children begin, TO
learn their A B Cs.
Day after day they toiIed over
those lessons in their homes, fol-

the new California home teacher

those six foreign mothers com

How the courage OF good moth.
IL ers has fed and fired the
race.
Those first small, bent, brown
mothers OF our savage days--W nat
periI they must have faced be
yond the threhold Of their caves
Those dumb and knotted peasant
women, moving, ox-like, along the
burrows OF the fields. What toll
and sufferings and brute discom-
fort they endured in service 20
their homes and children.
Those staunch and slender pio-
neer mothers. with their tender
hands and gallant gambling souls,
who bore their babies under
indian fire, and buried their men
along the trail they helped to
clear-no warrior has ever faced
the test that they came through.
And now a new record has been
made to glorify the name OF
mother Ia strange, appealing
record that twists the heart even
while it thrills the spirit,
Six mothers made it-stxs
ignorant. poor mothers OF foreign
birth. Three Russian Jewesses,
two Mexicans and one German
These women all came to
America as immigrants less than
five wears ago. They had had
little education in their own
land. none at all In this strange
country. They could not read or
write English, they knew nothing
of American history or customs.
They were only mothers. They
could cook and sew, sweep. floors
and scrub and nurse, according
10 the traditions of their people.
In the countries from which they
came that had been enough to
put power in their hands. They
had not needed any greater wis
dom to maintain their homes. In
those countries mothers knew au-
thority and respect. Their chill.
dren obeyed them They held
their homes together till their
day was done.
But in this new country 1t was
different All their children went
at once to American schools. And
before two months had passed
change had come over them.
They had entered this country
clustering about their mothers in
fear, like coveys Of baby quail.
But now they ceased clustering.
The fear passed. They began to
play in the streets, mixing Amer
lean slang with their foreign
idioms. They brought American
.playmates home with them after
school.
Before the year was over they
were chattering English, they
were doing more than that
they were THINKING English.
They no longer looked at their
mothers with the same eyes, nor
did they accept their mothers
customs with the same hearts..
