TWO MOTHERS.
“Both my children are boys and I
am glad that it is so,” one mother said
as she stroked the soft, dark hair of
the boy at her side.
“Why?” the second mother ques
tioned gently.
“Oh, because if a boy goes morally
wrong the world overlooks it, but the
world will not forgive a girl.”
A spiritual light welled up in the
deep, sweet eyes of the second mother
as she looked out to the softly sway
ing trees.
“Ah, that is a blighting thought
from which much of the misery of
this world comes.” she said in a low,
earnest voice. “I have never allowed
my boy to think for a moment that
there can be two codes of morals for
the sexes. Nor would I permit any
one to instill such moral poison into
his training. He has been taught that
whatever is blighting to a girl would
be equally blighting to the moral and
spiritual development of a boy. He
has also been taught to act toward
all girls and women as he would have
other boys act toward his sister or
mother. And, although he is young,
he now realizes that an immoral man
is not fitted to be a husband or fath
er.”
Just then the car came and a school
boy with his books stepped off.
“O, there is my boy now!”
I noted the boy’s bright, open face
with the limpid eyes and clean cut
features. “O for more such mothers
of men,” I murmured.

COVERINGS OF MAGAZINES.
Though fashion pictures on the cov
ers of women’s periodicals may be
popular with many of my sex, yet to
me, personally, they make but slight
appeal. I feel, when seeing such a de
sign, that I am about to open the
pages of a manufacturer’s catalogue,
when it is much more delightful to ex
perience the pleasant anticipation of
looking into a new magazine. It is true
that, in the hands of a skilful artist,
the styles of the day may be very at
tractively depicted but to me the more
appropriate place for them seems
within the pages of a book rather
than upon its covers.
Pretty girl-heads are a shade more
desirable, but these have come to be
so commonly used that there must, of
necessity be a good deal of sameness
about them. Many of them, moreover,

NO MORE BALD HEADS.
Baltimore Specialist Says Baldness is
Unnecessary, and Proves It.
Baltimore, Md. —The intense inter
est in the wonderful work that is be
ing accomplished in Baltimore and
many other cities by William Chas.
Keene,' president of the Lorrimer In
stitute, continues unabated. Many
cases o’s baldness and faded hair of
years’ standing have been remedied
by the remarkable preparation being
distributed from Mr. Keene’s labora
tory. Its fame is spreading far and
wide and thousands of persons are us
ing this remarkable hair food with
gratifying results.
What makes this treatment more
popular is the fact that free trial out
fits are sent by mail prepaid. Those
who wish to try it are strongly ad
vised to write to Mr. Keene at the Lor
rimer Institute, Branch 986, Baltimore,
Md. They will receive the full trial
outfit free of charge and much useful
information about the hair which will
put them on the road to a rapid and
certain improvement
are quite .insipid, having nothing save
mere prettiness to recommend them.
When, however, a pretty girl-head is
really pretty and more beside, reveal
ing originality in the artist, and ex
pressing character or individuality in
the subject, then it is truly a delight
to the eye.
While upon the subject of heads, let
me say that the cover design that
seems to me most trite, one that is
really wearying to look upon, is that
of the woman with her hand upon
the steering wneel of an automobile.
Blonde or brunette, stern or smiling,
veiled or unveiled, she looks at “the
gentle reader” from the front page
of about every tenth periodical, it
seems, that comes from the press.
The average woman has not an auto
mobile to steer, and she would like
sometimes to see depicted in pictures
the common-place acts of every-day
life, things to which she gives much
of her time, and which might assume
new dignity in the sight of some if
considered deserving of conspicuous il
lustration.
I think that most persons of what
ever type or age, are pleased with the
pictures of children when true to life
and well-done. Illustrations showing
the little ones at play, enjoying out
door life or engaged in some child
ish home duty, make strong appeal.
One of the most attractive cover de
signs that I ever saw appeared on The
Saturday Evening Post, if I remember
aright. It was the picture of a little
girl with kittens, the child so natural
in expression and attitude, her pets
so life-like in appearance ,the observer
could but feel the painting had been
made from life, and surely by the hand
of one who lovd both children and
animals.
A cover design that appeals strong
ly to my taste, one that is seldom
seen, is the symbolic picture. When
a painting, like a poem, can be made
to express an idea, then has the ar
tist achieved a two-fold end: He has
not only pleased the eye, but has
spoken to the mind. The imagina
tive!. artist must revel, in work of
this kind, for it gives him the oppor
tunity of expressing, in beauty of line
and of color, any poetic fancies of
which he may be possessed. Yet
one feels, inßtinctivelyj that such
drawings are more difficult of execu
tion than the simpler ones and should
be attempted only by the masters of
the art of illustration. A series of
symbolic pictures that were works of
art were once used on the covers of
“The Century”—pictures that express
ed far more than appeared upon the
surface to the casual observer, and
that remain vividly in my memory to
day, though it has been long since
I saw them, and which will ever re
main, I hope, “A joy forever.”
But the cover design most generally
appreciated, I believe, is the copy, in
colors, of a favorite masterpiece. All
pictures cannot be thus adapted, but
many can, and are hailed with delight
by the lover and student of art. Never
have the copies of paintings been so
sought after as at the present time,
and it is not easy to find them in
colors. Children are taught them in
the school room, but usually see them
only in black and white, or at best
in tones of brown, which cannot give
an adequate idea of the originals. The
periodical that would brihg 'to. us
now and then one of these treasures
would be doing good missionery work
in making possible to us the posses
sion of pictures worthy of preserva
tion, and even of an honored place
upon the walls of our homes.
These thoughts answer the query
as to the sort of pictures I should
not in the least like, and the sort I
should very much like, upon the cov
ers of our popular magazines.
