Margot Asquith, wife of the former
British pren1ier, has asserted that she
had many personal experiences of "un-
traceable communication and tele-
pathy," and she adds, 81 think that peo-
pie who set themselves against all this
side of life are excessively stupid"
She set herself, however, against pro-
fessional mediums and expensive
seances."
II Is interesting to find from her
autobiography that she had an expert
ence approximating that of Mrs. Abra-
ham Lincoln, who, as a girl, predicted
that she would marry a man who would
become President of the United states.
Margot Asquith, or, as she then was.
Margot Tenant, relates that she once
told the Duchess of Devonshire that
she had always prophecied that she
would marry a prime minister and live
in high political circles"
She did indeed marry Herbert AS
uuith, and 1t never will be known how
much Of his distinguished career was
owing to his brilliant and discerning
wife.
Most interesting perhaps of the hap
penings in which she was concerned
that may be said to come under the
heading of psychic phenomena was that
one relating to her sister, Laura.
Laura was an immensely fascinating
personality, clever, subtle, discerning,
sympathetic, and Margot ASquith says
Of her that "she left deeper impress
sion on the world in her short life than
any one have ever known" This she
attributes largely to the fact that
Laura had to a greater degree than
other people, true spirituality, feel
ing of intimacy with the other world,
and a sense of the love and wisdom of
God and His plan of life"
This statement assumes special sig
nificance when 1t is remembered In
connection with the untimely death of
Laura.
Laura Tenant BECAME the wife of
Alfred Lyttelton on May 10, 1885. It
was an ideal love match and their brief
married life was one Of complete

BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mothers expect too much OF small
children. One gathers from numerous
instances that their chief expectation
is that the child will be quiet and con-
tented. Nov be good, and sit still!"
Being active would seem. in view of
these words, to be the opposite of good.
Adults reach the age w3Aen sitting
still In rocker seems to them the acme
Of bliss, but the small child has Tll-
merous stages TO so through before he
arrives there. Being active Is as neceS-
sary to him as breathing. The parent

other method an annoyed mother re-
sorts to is Intellectual She should be
thankful that this is so, for 9 languid
child who Is willing to sit still Is the
one who should worry her, not his
active brother or sister who Is into"
everything
Recently I saw a mother driven to
the point of tears-tears OF anger ana
fatigue-in her futile efforts 70 keep
an l6-nonth-old boy quiet. she said,
with ewes raised to Heaven as Witpess
of her seriousness, IF ever get out
of here, I'll never bring this child back
again." After an hour on such futile
efforts one of the attendants took this
child in hand, gave him a few tongue
depressors from the clinic supply to
bang on the bench, and he fell to bang.
ing them with as much fervor as he had
shown trying to run away. When these
had outlived their interest we found q
paper and pencil for him. He scratched
and scrubbed with immense fervor and
not a peep" out of him. His mother
breathed her first long breath in an
hour.
we wonder why mothers expect the
impossible. We hear of children-small,
small children-who are taken to
church and expected to sit erect and
quiet for a service of an hour or more.
we see children taken calling and ex-
pected to keep hands of, and sit on
mothers lap and listen to adults chat
ter. If they rebel, as they usually do,
they are called naughty children and
not so infreuuently punished.
What do mothers expect? Certainly
the impossible. They should provide
themselves with some simple toys that
can be held on the lap-crayon and
paper, blunt scissors and some paper,
a few blocks TO be built into a simple
pattern-a1l things that can be carried
In handbag and will destroy the utter
tediurf1 of sitting still.
If the child gets "wiggly," take him
out, let him run up and down until he
Is over the restless stage and ready to
sit again. This arrangement is so easy
that we wonder 1t never occurs to these
unirnag inative mothers with their in
evitable boxes of crackers or bottles OF
stale milk, black looks and ready hands.

residence, as contrasted with house.

for granted that apartments must be
