The woman whom it concerns is one of the finest women I know. She has brought five children into the world and by the ald of an indomitable energy and a clever pen has borne most .of the burden of their support and education herself. In addition to that she had given them such a home life, such a background, such stand- ards and idenls as few women with | all their time free, give their chil- dren. It has always seemed to me that tie children ‘took this a little toc much for granted, gave in return only what they would give an ordinary mother,—ox less. They Had Started A “Mother M. Fund.” I mot this woman I asked what she was writing now. “I'm not writing this she said, “I'm just resting. La- ter I shall take up my work again pe- cause I love it but (proudly) not be- cause I have to.” . And then she told me (a lump éomes-into my throat just to write of it). “The children have started a Mother M. fund. They put the money to my acount in the bank and I am to draw a certain' sum each week. They all club together and give ac- ¢ording to their means. “I aldn’t ke it at first,” she went on, “I've always been so independent. But then my son wrote me the most wonderful letter. I want you to see I was wrong. the other day. “I shouldn’t think you'd hesitate a minute to ask him to look that up for you,” maid the Authorman's Wife. “Why, think of all you did for him.” “That,’} sald the Authorman, “is the very n why I don't want to ask him to dg it.” “What nonsense,” said the Author- man’s:Wife, “Isn’t he under obliga- tion to you?"” “Yes, " said the Authorman, “and I'd Tather ask somegne wha isn't “Perfectly absurd,” said the Auth- “Don’t you think so0?” He'd Rnhar B(!l'low Than Dun. “More than. enough,” said the Cynic, “but it’s like this. If I want money I'd rather go out and collect from someone who owed me money for work, or even go out and borraw it, than ask anyone whom I'd lent! money to, to pay it. That ls, unless| they were one of those dead beats: that deserve to be ‘dunned..

I keep it with me all l the timne.” And she read: A Beautiful Thought press draw this every week, dear mother, just as you would a salary well earncd. but T want you | to use it and treat it in your mind as interest only on the great amount of blessings you have always showered, on each and every one of us.’ Wasn't that beautiful? usual? When the original relation is re- versed and it comes time for sons and daughters to do for fathers and mothers, one sees so much niggardly | giving, so much ungracious giving. Yet often such sons and daughters pride themselves that they give, at all. Why Not Start Such a Fund This Christmas? Beautifully | ‘I want you to And un- As if it were enough to give so un- graciously that the recipient feels liko a pensioner or so that those who gave you your start in the world have a bare subsisterice while you enjoy lux- uries. I think a mother and father fund ought to be started among every fam- ily (no matter how small the sum so that it is all each honestly and gener- ously can afford) where the father and mother have less than the chil- dren; and that the father and mother should be made to feel that it is not charity but “interest only on the great amount of blessings you have al- ways showered on us.” The Debt of Gratitude ognized as the greatest dramatic actor Ingratitude Made Her Feel Ashamed. “And there’s another thing,” broke in Molly. “If people whom you've done things for don’t do things you ask them to, it makes you feel so perfectly dreadful, so kind of rebuffed and bruised. Their being so ungrate- ful almost makes you feel ashamed. You know, Ted,” to the Cynic. girl 1 kind of helped get her position (Molly was really too modest. She ac- tually gave the girl an opportunity | she would never otherwise have had— an opportunity that changed her whole life). “Well, one day 1 was sick and I asked her to draw my pay for me (you know she lives near me) “and she wouldn’t do it!

Tt Conene LOCAL ACT\OR ON STAGE AT KEENEY'S The first authentic pictures of the U. S. Regulars and Nationai Guards- men in actual training in Francelis belng shown at Keeney's this week. Here is one of the greatest pictures ever shown on the screen. It depicts the boys at hard training behind th: firing line on the western front, build- ing barracks, mathine gun practice, hand grenade throwing and the other numerous duties of a soldier in train- ing for service in the trenches. On_the same bill is Tyrone Power and Frances Burnham in a novelty photo play full of heart interest with the most exceptional atmosphere, “A Modern Lorelei” The story is ‘brought to modern every day life from the old myth of the siren Lorelei, w: with her maidens sat on the ro playing sweet music. Passing ships hearing the music were drawn on to the rocks and the ship dashed tu pleces. The fourth episode of who is Num- Ber One Serlal with Kathleen Clif- ford is also shown today.

Cereals are better served with brown sugar. p o kitchen should be without a pair of scissors. Squash is a perfect substitute for pumpkin in pie. Four eggs to one quart of milk is a good custard mixture. Delicious muffins can be made from dried bread crumbs.

Price, “WINGED MYSTERY” FEATURE AT FOX'S A great, big, good show—that's the verdict of those who were. fortunate enough to get into Fox's yesterday afternoon and evening to see those two splendid features which constitute the principal part of the present pro- gram. Franklin Farnum, who appears in a gripping Blue-bird puzzle pic» ture, “The Winged Mystery”, is mighty good' performer, and hls brothers, Dustin and William would do well to look to their laurels, for ' color and fabric.

Krankie is well on the road to a stardom that bids fair to rival that of either of his relatives, He has the advantage of working ‘in a most remarkable picture, for “The Winged Mystery” is one of the best detective dramas that has been made in many moons. But the other feature of the big double show was the one that tickled the crowds, for it brings back that ever popular comedian, Charlie Chaplin, in the biggest subject that this prince of fun-makers éver made, “Tillie’s Punctured Romance”. And he certainly had an all-star cast to support him, for with him in the picture are Mabel Normand, Marie Dressler, and many other prominent laugh-makers. It is the first six reel picture that Chaplin has ever made, and it is as full of pep ‘and screaming comedy as a six-reeler can possibly be. The “Fighting Trail'” and the latest issue of the Pathe News Weekly are also on’ the programni. Another twin-feature, all-star bill has been arranged for : tomorrow' - and: Thursday, when Dick Rosson = will come in his latest "hit, “Cassidy”, and Douglas Fairbanks wNI return in one of the- funniest comedies’ that he has done yet, “The Habit ot Hip- piness”.
