The Spirit of Motherhood 
There have been so many articles writ¬ 
ten lately on the question of children’s 
wages, etc., and many different opinions 
have been offered, yet none, so far, has 
corresponded with my own ideas. As I 
have very good results with my method, I 
offer it to others, hoping that my experi¬ 
ence will be of help to other mothers and 
give as much joy out of life as I have. I 
have a little girl of nine and a boy of 
eight. There is no longer a father, so we 
three are very much attached to each 
other. I am not only a mother to my 
kiddies, but a chum, a companion, a play¬ 
mate. 
To be a mother—I mean a good mother 
—we must fully understand (at least try 
to) our children. We must look and rea¬ 
son with matters from the child’s point of 
view. A child is full of imagination. To 
them everything is make-believe. They 
believe in fairy, or “Never-Never Land,” 
like Peter Pan, the lad that never grew 
up. Look at your own boy with his 
wooden gun, or your girlie with her doll ! 
The boy enters into his play with his 
whole heart and joy! And your little girl 
with her doll close in her arms! Is not 
that make-believe baby as dear and pre¬ 
cious to her as she is to you? It is her 
imagination that renders her alive. 
My kiddies are very fond of fairy tales, 
as most all children are; Andersen’s and 
Brothers Grimm are their favorites, and 
in those fairy stories they have read of 
the little dwarfs, of the brownies, as they 
call thorn, that were said to come in old¬ 
en times to people who were good and 
kind, and do their work for them at night. 
In the stories all the good tailor had to 
do was to lay together his goods, thread, 
needle and thimble, and a pattern, and he 
found his coat sewed and pressed the next 
morning, while the tired mother had only 
to lay the wool and needles and a sample 
of the stockings she wanted knitted, and 
there they were the next morning. But 
these little brownies don’t appear any more. 
So my kiddies decided to be brownies to 
mamma. They do all the little things 
and work they possibly can to make me 
pleasure. I go to business five days a 
week from 9 a. in. till 3 p. m. That time 
the children arc at school, and have their 
warm lunch there, too. We usually come 
home on the same train, as happy to be 
together as only a mother can imagine, 
and all the way home the brownies try to 
find out what work mamma has to do at 
home. Sometimes all the beds have to be 
made, and they just can’t wait till they 
get their coats off and play brownies for 
mother. We have a little playmate of 
theirs stay with us, and he simply de¬ 
lights in being a brownie. We have all 
labor-saving electric appliances, so one 
little brownie works the carpet cleaner 
while the two others make the beds. Then 
the second brownie goes with the dustless 
mop over the floor, while the third dusts 
the furniture, and before we know it the 
whole work is done. Or sometimes the 
’phone will ring after supper, while I 
wash the dishes, and just as soon as I 
leave the kitchen the brownies start to 
work. One washes, the second dries, the 
third sets the table for breakfast the next 
morning. Of course, when I hear them I 
don't dare go back to the kitchen, for they 
are dwarfs and I am not supposed to see 
them till they come and look for me and 
take me to tho kitchen to tell me with 
their happy faces that the brownies have 
been there and done the work. But where 
good little brownies are there are fairies, 
too, so it happens quite often that when 
the kiddies awake they find a package be¬ 
side their little beds, with just the thing 
they wanted, and the words, “From the 
Fairy to her Brownies.” 
After supper we go together in front 
of the open fire, and by the gleam and 
light of it I read them fairy tales of the 
little tailor that could kill seven with one 
stroke, or of Aladdin with his magic lamp, 
and when the clock chimes seven we all 
go up. the kiddies all wrapped up in the 
charms of the night’s story, and they un¬ 
dress, and then I tuck them into bed. the 
boys with their wooden soldiers or pop¬ 
guns, the girl with her doll in her arms, 
and the joy that gives me could not be 
bought with all the money on earth. 
To me motherhood is one of the finest, 
one of the noblest, vocations in life. 
When the Lord sends us the little one, his 
mind is like wax in our hands. It is for 
us and our fullest conscience and ability 
to make something worthy out of it. To 
watch a child grow, to help it to walk, to 
see it develop into a clean, truthful, splen¬ 
did young man or woman—what more 
beautiful work enn there be, than to be a 
mother? claire madelf.ine jarvis. 
A Useful Utensil 
When one day T accidentally broke the 
blade of a paring-knife squarely across, 
leaving only an inch with the handle, 
some instinct of thrift led me to put it 
hack in the drawer of my cabinet, though 
I little realized how useful it was going 
to be. It has become so indispensable 
to me for opening cans, prying loose the 
glass tops of fruit-jars and like uses that 
if I should lose or break it I should be 
likely to make another out of any strong 
bladed knife which I could spare.
