rack and the boot hung them up by their thumbs and

Thus by throwing the fear of God into the offenders

hanging and mutiations INDUCED in by the
authorities the greater in the increase of crime. And

Alex Andrews and was shared by
love. Shared" is the word Mary
uses in describing that time. She
likes to use words like that about
herself. ] suspect they make her
feel as if she stood in a spot
light. And how fiercely she has
longed to stand in a spot light
instead of in the inconspicuous
chorus Of wives and mothers.
For the first three years mar
rage proved diverting enough.
The two babies came quickly and
Mary felt very important. Young
motherhood is such a romantic
business. But after a time the
novelty wore off. Mary loved
her children but, in a way, she
resented them. She felt that
she was capable Of so much more
than this mOnOtonous round Of
trivial service. Some Of her other
friends had gone on with their
careers-Edna was working in Il
big laboratory-Alice was study
ing law-Frieda had gone in for
art--Helcn was making a record
in the political field. And there
she was stuck in the house with
two babies and a man who hard
ly knew she existed.
She grew bitter and rcbellious
about it. She talked d good deal
about her lost contribution 10
the world" She wasn't very ex-
plicit, even in her own thoughts,
as to what that contribution
might have been. But it was
evident that she felt that Alex
Andrews had robbed the human
race Of one Of its Great Minds.
HoWeVer-to do her justice-she
stuck to her job. There are no
better behaved youngsters in
town than Mildred and Earl An
drews. They've always had the
best Of care. And now-"Thank
heaven they're on their feet at
last" says Mary. I've taken
them over all the difficulties
they're ready to go on now
themselves. And now it's my

AUSTRALIAN. SAVAGES

HNHE aborigines of Central Aus
Il tralia are among the most
interesting people in the world.
Although we look upon them as
very inferior beings indeed, they
are far from that. for their
memory is remarkable. When
once they have seen anything,
be it tree. person or animal, they
will never forget it. Their sense
of sight is also extraordinary,
and they can distinguish the
essential difference in an object
that would never be noticed by
us. They are marvellous mimics
and possess the keenest sense of
humor.
Their descent is very COM

me to go into here very deeply.

60 long as the picture is a
- group picture" it should
have in it all the members Of the
group, which is the wedding
party. If you have your attend
ants in the photograph, the bride
groom should have his attendants.
Therefore. the ushers and best
man should be included. Other
wise, l should think that the
bridegroom and his attendants
would feel very much "discar dcd."

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland
The Clam or the Tamale

The Clam or the Tamale
VERIFY, my Daughter, an in
' different husband is as ice
down the back, or a cold lemon
ade after q sleigh ride. But, she
that possesseth one Of these,
knoweth not her blessings. until
she hath tried life with an
Othello! For, between a lump of
protoplasm and a slumbering
volcano, there is little choice.
Go to, a clam-like husband may.
bestow a frozen peck upon his
wife's cheek. But, when she for
getteth the morning greeting. or
falleth asleep without the nightly
caress, he is not filled with doubts
and suspicious. Nay. his tender
feelings are all insulated!
He may doze over his news
paper, while she seeketh to be-
guile him with poetry and love-
songs. But he is NOT curious
concerning the mail beside her
plate and his fingers itch not to
open her letters.
Her scintillating small talk may
be in his ears as the drone of
the vacuum.cleaner. But he is
not filled with baleful misgivings
when the butcher summoneth he"
upon the telephone, and doth not
''listen-in," when she chatteth
with the handsome iceman' over
the wire.
The jinging of his latch-key and
the slamming OF the front door
may arouse her from her dreams,
when he stumbleth in. after mid
night. But he doth not seek to
surprise" her by returning from
his business trips unexpectedly,
when she is in the midst of the
fall housekeeping.
He doth not snoop amongst the
private papers in her desk, in his
search for hidden secrets; neither
does he glover darkly, when he
perceiveth new bangle upon
llCI dl III vi ii lit" Dtiuty
upon her dressing table.
He doth not cover her with
plaudits and kisses when she APP
peareth. arrayed in her liveliest
glad rags. Nay, he doth not even
SEE her!
But neither doth he regard her
with smouldering eyes, when the
admiring host pTaiseth her beauty
or the departing guest holdeth
her hand lingeringly.
He doth not glare ominously,
when she leadeth the old platonic
friend to the conservatory nor
cast scorching chances of sus~
picion at the innocent made who
dareth to sit beside her upon the
divan.
He doth not make a SCENE!
Nay. verify, an Indifferent hus
band may be flatter than a stale
cucumber and less stimulating
than tepid soup. But JEAL-
GUS husband is as n starched
choker to the neck a shoe that
blistereth the heel and hot
tamale to the mouth! Alas, his
devotion" is a bouquet of flowers
covered with thorns.

WHY
MOTHERS
LEAVE
NONE

Mary isn't a rare. isolated
example. Scores of women are
doing what she is doing. They
do not all go off to college.
Many of them are taking a JoD"
in their own home town or going
in for club work or starting tea
rooms or opening studios. But
whatever the detectives, they are
deserving the homes by the
thousand saying as they do SO
Tive given the children their
start. I've done all I can for
them. Now it's my turn"
There never was a statement
which betrayed greater ignor-
ance or selfishness. No child OF
twelve or fourteen Is ION Its
feet" No mother has done all
she can for her children" when
she has brought them safely
through infancy. They are, in
fact, facing the most critical
time of their lives--the years Of
adolescence. Never does a young
ster need sympathetic. intelligent
service as much as he needs 1t
during those years. This is par
ticularly true in our present,
complicated era. Each day brings
new problem, and a new adj
justment Of the growing nature
to meet that problem. Life is d
very real battlefield for the shap-
ing child, and the fiercest battles
are fought in his own spirit. The
lack of the right home at that
time may warp or cripple his
spirit for life.
The years between twelve and
twenty are the years of the
mothers peak load" They are
the years when she puts her
most vital work into the most
valuable contribution" which she
can possibly give to the world.
How much do you think the
artistic career Of a woman VIII
be worth who shows, in her
greatest job, such stupidity and
Sinking Of responsibility?
[ think 1t will be worth about
ten cents.

generation. and as each part has
divided and subdivided you can
readily see how difficult it would
be for us to try to trace the
ancestry of one individual. The
wonder of it is how the savage
mind was able to evolve such a
plan and. having evolved it. was
able to develop it to the extent
that ii has now reached, for the
laws of marriage are rigidly ad-
hered to.
The mother-in-law has a pc
culiar position among these peo-
pie, For instance. the clothing
of a man consists of hair girdle
and this girdle must be made or
the hair of his mother-in-law'
Another of her strange duties is
this: Her son-in-law must have
a front tooth knocked out. and
this is pounded up, placed in
lump of meat and eaten by her
as part of the marriage cere-
mony.
