every other woman on earth than anybody ever saw.
She never speaks q cross word-when either Of her sons is around.
She isn't cross to her daughters-inlaw, either, she's just meddle-
some and interfering. She wants to know daughters friends and gossip
with them-about daughter.
When son comes home. she whispers and hints and now she's
teaching the children TO think very little Of their mother.
The mother is really one Of the finest women alive in this world
today, a great big, splendid woman. a beauty with a heart of gold

She had her breakfast in bed and her nap in the afternoon and no
body disturbed her at the wrong hour and everybody kept everything
unpleasant away from her. She had headaches and a bad heart and
she wore little soft house gowns and looked pihful and fragile and i'll.
All at once her own daughter rose up and hunted up a little
apartment for mother, q nice, sunny apartment with a view, a kitchen
cite, bedroom and bath. There's a little blue and white corner, in the
blue and white kitchenette and a little table painted blue with white
flowers on il, a set of blue dishes. a white refrigerator and blue
tains. You ought to see mother.
She makes cakes, she makes pies, she makes biscuits. The other
day she had a dinner party for a couple Of old friends and they ate
and ate and talked and laughed and when the dinner was over the
other old ladies helped her wash the blue dishes and then they went
in to the pretty bedroom which is a sitting room, too. and they talked
and laughed to their hearts content.

becomes meek and admittedly helpless. As

the patient, he realizes how little he knows of
things which bring comfort and help to restore

Most Of us know little enough about how to
choose our own food. A man may know every
thing else and yet not know what he really ought
to eat. If called upon to make up a diet for a sick
person, he would throw up his hands in surrender.
