WAS LEFT a A. MOTHER widow fourteen years ago. She did not marry because of the three children under her care who needed"education and all the attention she could give them. Several years ago she lost her position in the busi- ness world and has been living with her married children. She has no financial support and feels a burden to the al- ready crowded housholds of her married son and daughter. A MOTHER HOLDS a ver high and distinctive place in the scheme of life. There is absolutely no rea- sor why you should not depend upon' your children for support in the sunset years. It is their duty and they should perform it gladly.
