This is not the picture of the dear
old fashioned grandmother you and
I remember. She was like her
mother Elspeth, described by the
good grey poet "1/Ook' it is the face
of the mother of many children.
Her face is more clear and beautiful

farm house The sun just shines on
her old white head. Her ample gown

sons raised the flax and her grand-
daughters spun it on the wheel and

Now I believe the story of grand-
mother Elspeth and her wheel is
worthy of a place In the family archi-

might encourage pleblan and
thoughtless marriages among our de-
scendants but I do not anticipate any
such sentimentality In this day and
