I was invited to an evening dinner party recently where she was the guest of honor.
This charming young matron is the proud mother of two fine boys, both under four years of age.
In their education she endeavors to follow a system, like many other young mothers, and she is very careful to live up to any rules she may have formulated for them.
During an early course in the dinner, and in the middle of an animated conversation with her host, she suddenly ceased talking.
Her face took on a most startling expression. Then finding her voice, she exclaimed:
"Mercy, I have forgotten those boys again! May I use your telephone?"
She was taken to the 'phone by the host, and the murmur of her voice in most earnest conversation was wafted back to the dining room.
After a short time she returned.
"I beg a thousand pardons," she said, "but you must know I have always insisted that Sam and Dick say their prayers for me before they go to sleep.
