MOTHER AS A PRESS AGENT.
I FZJI Paid Woman Write, I
Of roursp It's perfectly propcf, and
highly desirable, for every swan to
think Its own tin- whitest, and for
every mother to be convinced that
parh of her children is an infant
phenomenon who is destined to make
the world sit up and gasp with awe
and wonder.
Heaven knows that but for this
beneficent provision of nature no
child would ever be raised. Except
l! (or seeing beauties in the round, fea
tureless, cream -cheese-like counten
ance of her bab.v that no other mortal I
eye can sec. no woman would have thej
patience to go on washing its drool-j
inp little mouth, and keeping it clean
and healthy. Except for hearing Car-
uso-Uke tones in the howl of her in -1
f:int. no woman would have the forti I
lude to walk the colic through the I
cold, rtilly hours of the night.
It's the obsession ol mother vanity'
that makes a woman see her children
not as they are, but glorified, that I
keeps the world spinning round, and
preserves the human race Otherwise
.infanticide would be our favorite in
door sport, lor do we not continually
I reflect that if we had to stand those
I awful mischievous, ugly, stupid Jones I
I children, we should certainly kill J
I them?
I And do we not wonder how it is pos j
I sible that all other children are so in
I ferior to cur own beautiful and gifted
i Darlings:
I Do we not dread, even as we would
an attack of the plague the coming
of a guest to visit us who brines her
little olive branches along with her,
while wo take our own children lo
spend week ends with our friends on
whom we wish to bestow an especial
treat ?
Yea. verily, such is the way of
mothers which had evidently never
been investigated by the gentleman
vho spoke of the way of a seprent
on a rock, and the way of a man with
a maid as being mystery that no man
I could solve. For the way of a mother
i with her child is the mystery of all
mysteries, past all guessing.
Now it Is all right for mother to be
her children's press agent. Goodness
knows most of us need somebody to
blow our trumpets for us, but the
trouble with mother is that she gen
erally bungles the job so badly. Her
work is raw. She overdoes it. She
lacks finesse, and especially she lacks
restraint, and so often in trying to
turn a searchlight on the virtues of
her offspring she only succeeds in
calling attention to their defects.
We all know, for instance, some
nice, plain, sensible girl, without a
vestige of beauty, or talent, or sparkle.
There is absolutely nothing about her
to attract attention in any( way, but
left to her own devices she' would be
admired, as one of the solid, sensible,
unpretentious women that everybody
likes to have about, just because they
arc so comfortable to get along with,
j and call for no hysterica of admira-
i tion, and rouse no envy.
Rut mother ruins all' of this by her
indiscreet press agentrv. She des
cants ceaselessly about the girl's won
derful hair and beautiful eves and
magnificent figure. Thereby drawing
the attention of the listener to the fact ,
that the unfortunate maiden la no
understudy of Lillian Kussell in pul
chritude. Mothers also repeats fulsome com
pliments that she avows perfect
Btrangers have pnj,i to daughter, and!
tells of rows and rows of nameless,
suitors who are dying to marry daugh
ter, but to whom daughter cruelly
says "no."
Women are accused of having no!
sense of humor. Certainly they have!
no sense of humor where their chil
dren are concerned, and such mothers
never perceive that in attributing!
'harms to their daughters which the
girls have not. and never claim they
bae, that they are making their
daimlit.Ts ridiculous. ;.nd a laughing
stock among their friends, Many girls'
worst enemy is her own mother. Im
kills whatever chance of success she j
might have by booming her stock tool
heavily.
And mother makes .precisely the
same mistake in conducting her press j
agent campaign for son. If statistics
uuuiu oe garnered on such subjects,
it would be Interesting to know how
many young men enter real life han
dicapped by a prejudice against them
that has been fomented by their
mother's incessant exploitations of
their talents and virtues.
The community has heard mother
monologue about what a marvel son
is. what a magnificent intellect son
has. what an eloquent speaker son is.
what brilliant talent son has displayed
at this and that, what an athlete son
is. how the college depended on son
to preserve Its traditions, and the
football team to can it to victory,
until by the time son gets through
school and is ready to go into busi
ness or a profession, the 'whole com
munity is so fed up on son that it
nauseates it even to hear his name.
No mere human being wants to have
any dealings with such a paragon, and
especially with a paragon that on close
inspection seems to have none of the
ear -marks of a world beater, but is
just a plain, ordinary, even -day young
man, who is no more like his mother's
portrait of him than a Boubrette's
hunk of glass are like the first water
diamonds that she advertises she has
lost.
The reason that many a man has to
leave his own home town to get a start
in his career is because he has to
get away from his mother's press
agentry and go to live among people
who will take hiin for what he is, in;
ftead of expecting him to be what his
mother said he was.
Of course there is something very

tender and beautiful in this mother
adoration that causes a woman to be
hold her children always surrounded
by a radiant halo, and that makes her
want to force the world to Bee them
through the same golden mist. For a
woman's children represent to her not
only her own flesh and blood. The
are her incarnate dreams and ambi
tions All that she has hoped for
j and wished for in life she expects to
see fulfilled in them, and it is God's
j mercy to her that her eyes are so
j blinded that she generally never sees
the truth, but dies in the firm belief
that her prayers have all been an
j swered, and that her children were
' ail that she wanted them to be.
But on the whole, it cannot be said
' that mother is very successful as a
press agent. As a general thing she
does more harm than good by raising
false expectations concerning the ap
pearances and ability of her children
Also she unconsciously engenders a
dislike of the youngsters by boring
people with an account of their ex
j ploits. in which no one but she has
J the faintest interest. These are facts
j that might well be borne in mind by
the woman whose one topic of conver
I sation is my Mamie and my Johnnie.

TO PLAY li OGDEH
Although it was announced a short
time ago that the season for road
shows with real people on the stage
j had ended, so far as Ogden was con-
i cerned, until the opening next fall.
Manager Joseph Goss of the Orpheum
states that he has secured several big
plays that will soon be passing
j through here on the way to the Facific
I coast for a summer run.
The first of these plays will be "The
Brat" which has had such a phenom
enal run in the east. Ogden will be
one of the four stops the show will
make between Chicago and San Fran
cisco. It will be here on Sunda,
May 5.
Maud Fulton i.s playing the stellar
role in this show, and the eastern
press reports have given her front
rank among the big lights of the stage,
alleging that hse has made this play a
success by her wonderful acting. This
is one of tlie Morocco favorite. of the
past year. It ran a year in New York
and had the favor of the well known
critical Chicaproans for six months.
Manager Goss stated yesterday that
he was ralher proud of the fact that
he was able to get this play to the ex
clusion of Salt Lake, as it is one of
the best bookings he could have made
lie was adised L a theatrical man
who was passing through here that the
show would pas this way, and be im
mediately began sending telegram.-; to
land It. His efforts will give one
more fine entertainment of the season
lo the Ogden people.
