N0 Woman Should Marry If She Does Not Feel A Keen Interest In Rearing The Children: She Bears

A correspondent asks what qualities a woman should have to make

he; a good mother. Well, I think that Jlrst of all, she should have a l talent for motherhood and liking for her job. Contrary to popular be-l lief, not all women possess these. There are‘

' half a dozen

glenty of women who have borne ables who are merely physical mothers. They have not a spark of the spirit of real motherhood,’ toward their children, and they might just as well have got them at a pet shop as brougnt them home from a matern ty hospital. They have none of the mother love that brings under- standing and sympathy and wisdom lo deal with fumbling little hands and stumbling little feet. They get no pleasure out oi watching a little child's mind unfold. To them children are always l burden and a cross, something that hampers their freedom and interferes with their plans. They are the women who turn their children over to hired help to rear if they have money, zrnil lI they are poor wish the task oﬂ on their neigh- bors. Mothers in name only. A woman should have moderation to be a good mother. Most. women lack this. They are extremists who are you-ﬁnch moth . or not enough mother. and they love their children tco w}; or not enough. And wh ch is worse for the child, only Almighty “gas... knows. There are tens of thousands cf unfortunate youngsters who m“. every bit of character, personality, independence mothered out Qflllﬁll bv conscientious women wholeel it is their dut to kee their lilldren tied to their apron strinrs 1 ‘n1 never let them stand alone. The a niieniiaries and the divorce courts Der filled with lhe children of oc- ahrd mothers who loved them too elllo ever discipline them. or teach 319m any self-control, or to know gnylﬂll‘ but their own pleasure.

Spare Your Pity

Many a boy gives up the job that. would have carried him on to fortune because mother pities him so for having to get up every morn- ing and punch a time clock that she trnakes him feel as if he were a nuir yr.

Manv a bride, confronted with the realities of marriage. would slick to it. rind make a success of it instead of getting a divorce if she didn't know that she could go back to mother and be sympathized with.

In a word. to be a 260d mother requires the love that passes all understanding, it takes the wisdom of Solomon, the patience of Job. the courage oi a hero. the ﬁrmness of the Rock of Gibraltar. and then lsllllflil on a liairtriizitcfl ll she can, And. thank God, that therel see the fllllllV side °f eve“ 5P1?“ are so many mothers who can‘ adventure: ii she wears {ﬁe gm. qualify on an calm“ | uni lrradiates a home e DQRo-IHY DD;
