Obregon had been killed was re-

NWIINGS that we have known so
long that we have put them
in a back closet OF the memory
sometimes suddenly spring forth
delightful novelty. Thus, not long
ago, laid glass prism on the
middle bar of window fronting
southeast.
On sitting down at my desk the
next morning saw a most beauti-
full spectrum of sunlight cast upon
the prism, across the room, and
illuminating with glory Of bril-
liant colors a small portrait OF

bookcase on the western wall. His
short John Bull side whiskers were
painted a crimson that fairly cried
aloud, while his nose was deli

the sun rose higher and swung
southwark in the sky. In an hour
1t had carried its splendor across
the backs OF the books, and was
cleaning on the polished surface,
and lending it's hues to the stars
Of celestial globe.
While / was bending over my
work 1t next surprised me by
encountering, athwart my nose,
the beveled edges of my reading
glasses. 1t filled my eyes until
they seemed to overflow with
violet light so exquisite that no
world could describe 1t. 1 sim

moving my head to keep the
spectrum in place.
A New Birth
Here was an old thing, merely
a Newtonian spectrum, which
because of novel circumstances
seemed to have had a new and
more splendid birth. Never had
] seen spectral colors that ap-
peared to me so beautiful. Ma
lures miracle of the subdivision
of white sunlight into a ribbon
of superb-contrasted colors struck
me as forcibly as if l had been

This gorgeous spectrum has be-
come my daily companion. 1 see
1t at all hours, from morning
until late afternoon, while 1t holds
its spectacular course around
three walls. 1t is living teacher.
When I look directly at the
prism l see the spectrum as a
horizontal band in the glass, red
at the top, violet at the bottom.
That is the way 1t appears If
the sun Is shining in a clear sky.
But If clouds and mists obscure
the sun, and the day is overcast.
then the spectrum is narrowed in
the up.and-down direction. Only
the red at the top remains con-

the letter does not differ from
all other mothers, save as she
had. perhaps, q little harder
time providing for her boy and
herself. She was left to care
for him when he was very little.
For years he was sick, although
he Is now glOriOusly well.
I think only mothers who have
gone the whole trail viii under
stand her letter.
Dear Elsie:
My boy has come home at last!
You know how, for long years,
we have been separated because
of his ill-health and the anguish
the years meant to me. l sup
pose if I could have cared for
parties or small gossip, as other
women do. it would not have
been so~ hard. But of course /
was working too steadily to go
to parties even IL there had been
any / could have attended. And,
besides, my love for him had be-
come so intense and my hunger
for him was always so pressing
that it filled all my life.
What a tragedy motherhood is
when you drink the whole cup!
All the joy we had of each other
in those days was stolen joy, to
be paid for with bitter suffering.
/ was sure that God never meant
us to pay for joy by suffering,
but sonny's bronchial trouble made
any trip home time OF agony
for us both. Yet so great was
our longing for each other that
we could not always keep apart.
I doubt If any mother and son
knew greater love or more per-
feet companionship than was ours
during those years. But always
there was that terror lest his frail
body give out. 1t was like
black specter at every feast
And now at last he has come
home for good. And he is we'll!
I can't believe 1t yet! The sud
den release from pain and fear
the complete and glorious healing
