Wheal Lerlaa; Mothers Vrsw Seiniah
"It if wben children reach maturi
ty that tbe supreme test of parental
love comes," writes Edward W Bok,
discussing tbe hcmeleaving of
children at time of marriage, in tbe
May Ladies' Home Journal. "All
through infancy and early years tbe
children are more or less care. And
then, just aa tbe parents feel reliev
ed from cares add aniietiet, and are
beginning to enjoy the companion
ship of their children in tbe sereae
and complacent way which 'grown
ups' have, there comes a flattering
of the wings, a remote suggestion of
flight. Tbe eon is no less his
mother's boy than he has been and
ever will be. But be is and who
realn-s it so quickly as a mother-

woman a girl. With her he dis

be shadowy lines of a house that is
to become a home of their very own
The girl, too, wbo is going in and
out of the bouse has been a daily joy
to her parents sbe too, has become
a heroine to some one other than ber
father or her mother, it is haid
for tbe parents to realize) tbat this
mate of ber flight can care for her as
tbey have; that in ber .young -eyes,
in her young heart, it is roaibie that
he can be altogether noble and cap.
able. And after the young birds
have taken fight the parents wonder
if tometime they do not gnevj in
their new life. But some fine morn
ing a clearer vision is given them,
and they realiz tbat, after all, their
obildren are only playing tbe same
role which tbey plajed a few years
before. It is a magnificent quali'y
in parents wben tbey so prepare
themselves tbat tbey can meet this
inevitable time with the proier
spirit wben, in otter words
parental love can get tne better of
