PRESCOTT, CONTINUED
The more I see of modern young
women. John, the more 1 am con.
strained to say that / am glad my
life is nearly over. l do not think
that can bear to live much longer
in a world populated by these girls
and their progeny. OF course, /
know that you are very much in
love with Leslie. The reason l
know this Is because since you have
been married to her YOU have paid
no more attention to me than you
did before A mother does not ex-
meet her son to be as thoughtful
of her unless there Is some woman
about who can tell him what
mothers heart needs and desires.
have been greatly disappointed
in Leslie. can not understand
why she makes friends OF such
women as Mrs. Walter Burke and
even moving picture actresses while
she leaves her own husbands
mother completely out Of her life.
I expect, of course, that she feels
that she has done her duty when
she provided for me nurse, but
/ sometimes. feel that Miss Ander-
son is more of a keeper than
friend. She seems to thwart me on
| every occasion and If l do not give
in to her she threatens to leave. She
knows / could not get along without
her.
am rather curious to know II you
really dictated that letter to me. II
you did you will know that Mrs.
Atherton said that the hundred
dollars a week was in addition to
the salary that was paid to Miss An
derson and the rent OF my rooms
at the hotel.
I do not think / viii stay at the
hotel much longer.
Miss Anderson seemed to think the
other day that might enjoy being
in New York for a few weeks. Said
she knew OF quiet place where we
might go and that would probably
have good time at the theaters.
I told her that I did not care for
the modern theater at all, that ] had
been brought up to feel that the
sight of half dressed women and
more or less drunken men was moth
ing that a decent woman should put
herself in g. way of seeing.
| I would like very much to come
over to Pittsburgh. / think that
Leslie should consult me about
arranging her house. She knows
that I have been housekeeper for
many years and she has always ad-
mired my beautiful old colonial
furniture. Had she been really a
daughter to me 1 had intended to
give it all to her. But not knowing
whether my cherished family heir
looms would look well in her
scheme of household decoration, I Of
course can not really feel that she
would care for them.
You may tell Mrs. Atherton for
me thst 1 would rather not have q
letter from my son If it has to be
dictated to her or to any other
stenographer and I shall insist.
John, upon you taking the time to
write me in longhand in the future.
Affectionately your mother,

Men legislators, who would have

ming's chief executive.
Waste Must Stop
Waste and extravaganza" she
said, must be stopped in the coun-

is to find relief. /, therefore, recon-
mend the adoption of a law that will
