DENCE:CO_R _§ (Copyright. 1m. by Casper 8. You.) Y DEAR LITTLE GIRLâ€"I don’t wonder that the com- ing visit of William’s mother makes you a little bit nerv- ous.‘ It is an ordeal that nearly every young wife looks forward to with a certain degree of apprehension, if not dread. She feels that she is going to be held up for inspection; that herself and her methods are about to be subjected to a critical analysis by a stern and prejudiced household martinet, a per- fect paragon of domestic virtues; His ma has probably been extolled as the originator and chief exponent of the fine art of running a home, the one wo- man who knows exactly how to do things. Of course she‘s nervous. But. bless your dear little heart, there’s no real reason for it. Bill‘s moth- er, like every other man‘s mother. is about one-fourth wozn- an and three- fourths imagina- tion. Did you ever notice how big a man looks when he's com- ing toward you through a log? You think it’s a the boss giant at ., Bill’s mother. the circus until he gets up close. and then you find it’s little Smithkins, who weighs 110 pounds with his win- ter overcoat on. A man, no matter what his age. sees his mother through the mists of childhood and youth. and the suns of his life shining through the haze envelop her in a radi- ance that to him is pretty near divine. There’s nothing wrong about that, my dear. On the contrary, it’s one of the most beautiful facts in creation. But when other people look at his mother they see just a common, ordinary little woman, no better and no worse than the average. You’ll find that to be the case when Bill's ma steps in. You won’t be able to see any halo around her head. You won’t be able to dis- cover her wonderful superiority to the rest of womankind. Bill sees them, but you will find that she has her faults and her failings like other people, and her failings are more likely to give you trouble than her virtues. Tho Wife’s Mother-in-law. And that brings up a question that I have pondered over pretty considerable and never found but one answer to it. Why is it you never hear anything about the wife’s mother-in-law? That’s the question. The mother-in-law has been a subject for jokes and satire and derision for goodness only knows how many thousands of years. but it's al- ways the man’s mother-inâ€"iaw. One would think they don’t seem to have ever heard that there's another brand of mother-in-law, just as numerous, just as busy and once in awhile just as tactless and meddling. The wife‘s mother-in-law is absolutely unknown in literature, while reams and volumes and whole libraries have been written about the husband’s mother-in-law. Why is it? There’s just one answer. It is because men have been doing all the writing and the only mother-inâ€"law they know anything about is their own. That their own mothers are also mothersdnâ€" lzlw seem never to have occurred to them. If it had there probably wonid he one subject less for the joke writer and one of the greatest institutions '13 {Im world would have had a better reputation. _For it is a fact. my dear, that mothers-in-law, taking them in a “much. are oné of the most beneficent :.El’ts of a mysterious but all wise i’roritienee. There are exceptions that 2991:) to justify the attacks made upon zlze class. but they are exceptions, and even with them in nine cases out of ten it‘s the smart Alexander sons-in- l:.>r who are most to blame. So. while I have wondered why we have but one variety of mother-invlaw in litera- ture. I have always been mighty glad the other kind remained undiscova'ed. Maybe Providence has something to do with that too. At any rate, little girl. getting back to your own case. your mother-in-law is nothing to be atraidvof or to stand in awe of. Her idiosyncrasies or pecadillos or. getting down to plain American. her cram ness may give you some trouble. but all the me she’s a mighty unportant (actor in the making of your domestic aappiness. and if you play your cards right she’ll prove a blessing that you'll bethankml foranyourdays.

Blessing You'll Be Thankful For. BY CASPER S. YOST. “She Is Bill’s Mother." justthesametohlmasyourmother is to you. and you must respect his feelings in regard to her. In the sec- ond place. you mustn‘t forget that, be- ing his mother. she naturally thinks a heap of him and may be just a lit- tle bit inclined to the idea that no girl is quite good enOugh for him. Also you should bear in mind that. like Bill Smith's chum. she’s “older and had more sperience” than you. So all you’ve got to do. little girl. is to remember these three points and act accordingly. It lacks a whole lot of being as easy to do it as to say it. 1'" admit that. But it’s worth the price. The love and good will and help of his mother are mighty pre- cious possessions, and you can’t go to too much trouble to get them and keep them. She can be a friend to you like unto no other friend except your own But don’t you let that \‘Cul‘l‘y you. There's just as much imagination about ma’s pies as there is allout ma from his yieWpoint. There’s a halo about her biscuit, too, but nobody can see it but Bill. I’m pretty sure you can make just as good ones. and I know your mother can beat her hands down. But don’t you let on. It won’t do to tamper recklessly with his ideals. Wait till she comes and ask her to show you how. That will please Bill and tickle the old lady half to death. If she isn’t any great shakes as a cook, William will find it out for himself then. and coming in that way it won’t hurt him. He’ll just think his mother is losing her grip, and he'll be all the prouder of you. mother. and the time will often come when you will thank heaven that Bill‘s mm is by your side. holding your hand and helping; you over the rough places. ' I don’t doubt that he has bragged about her a good deal. He‘d ho a fun- ny son if he didn’t. {Jo’s told you what a wonderful manager she is and how she can cookâ€"laws-a-massy, how she can cook! Thom never was any- body could make biscuits and mince pies and doughnuts like Bill’s ma. Housekeeping Is a Science. On the other hand, if she is really way up in G in the kitchen drop your cooking school methods like a hot flat- iron and get next to her system. I know that you learned a good deal from your mother that the culinary professor wasn’t able to get away from you. though the Lord knows she tried hard enough, and to my notion there isn’t any woman on earth who can come under the wire alongside your mother when it comes to cooking. But that isn’t the point. The main business of a wife is to please her husband, just as it should be the main business of a husband to please his wife, and if his mother knows a trick or two that he thinks great you can’t do anything bet- ter to please him than to make them yours. As a matter of fact she proba- bly has a whole bunch of housekeeping tricks up her sleeve that it will be worth your while to get acquainted with. Housekeeping is a science, but it lacks more of being a fixed science than any I know of, and no woman r-an have bossed a home as long as Hill’s ma has without accumulating a lot of facts not down in the textbooks. besides making some original discov- eries of her own. So I’d earnestly ad- vise you, little girl, to let her know at_ wave that you want to take a postgrad- uate course under her. Somewhere in your copy book or your grammar you’ve seen the saying that imitation is the sincerest flattery, and I ain’t letting out any state secrets when I tell you that sincere flattery makes more friends than a stufled club. Go to school to the old lady. and you’ll get (-loser to her heart in three days than Make Her Feel at Home. But that isn’t all.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE I Couldn’t Take a Joke. I met a poor old negro one day push- ing a wheelbarrow loaded with cook- . ing utensils and household efiects. f Seeing me looking at him curiously, he shook his head and said: Q “I can’t stand her no longer, bossâ€"I I jes' natch‘ully can‘t stand her no i longer.” I “What’s the matterb uncle?” I in- ; quired. has any cranky 'notions humor them. She'll have them, all right. She’ll be a‘ wonder for sure if she doesn’t. Mighty; few people can come down the home- stretch of life without developinga few kinks that try the patience of others.‘ Even your old daddy has them. Yes, I have. Why, I bet 'if you could get: one of these here radium photographs: of my mental process it would look like one of those wiggledy hairpins you use to keep your sunshine from getting loose. That's right. my dear, so don't let her kinks bother you. You can't straighten them, and they won’t do you any harm if you let them alone. Let her see. too. that her boy is in good hands. That‘s an important point, for it’s something she‘ll be most anxious, about, but it'will be an easy job for you. Rather it will be no job at all. for I'm mighty certain he couldn’t be in better hands. Hell say so himself. If he didnt Id be after him with something large and heavy to throw. Just a minute now for the other side. A man‘s love for his mother begins at his birth and lasts until his death. It is not the great consuming passion of his life. That is reserved for the other woman, who becomes his wife. But, no matter how much greater his love may be for his mate, it never eclipses that earlier affection for his mother. Side by side they should move, the sun and moon of his wor- ship, to the end of his days. They should, but sometimes they don’t. Sometimes the greater lo‘ve wanes and van- ishes. The les- ser love is im- perishable.

Securing a “Peace .Ofiering.” In the days of the East India com- pany a certain young officer, says the author of “Recollections of a Bison and Tiger Hunter,” committed an in- discretion. There was nothing in the act which touched his honor, but it was a mistake, and he received a hint that his services would shortly be dis- pensed with. Being full of grit, he cudgeled his brains to find a way out of the difficulty. Just at that time a notorious rebel was wanted by the government, and a large reward had been oflered for his capture. The officer learned that the rebel went regularly to a sacred pool about midday to bathe, but the neighborhood of the pool was swarm- ing with mutineers. Nothing daunted, he assumed the garb of a Brahman and, having stao tioned a vehicle at a spot not far from the pool, boldly entered the water with a pair of steel handcufls and a gag hidden about his waist.
