Who can judge of each case, but the right kind of mother? Whatever the child has need of, that is for her to watch over and give, to the fullest of her capacity. And what of the rôle of a father in this most vital of responsibilities? It is essentially that of a help-mate to bring cheer and comfort and courage, and the tenderest of protection and support.

I begin to think you have a little of the wisdom of the dove too. Pull now or we shall be late for breakfast." He pulled. "Now that," said the Reverend Cecil that evening to his sister-in-law, "that is the kind of youth I should wish to see my Lizzie select for her help-mate."

Don't let him forget for an instant that he is your very own and you are his very own mother. Whatever may be going to come of it, keep that point clear that you are his partner and help-mate and he is never going to be left out in the cold. Nothing will help more toward a fair-minded understanding of the situation.

When, indeed, he seemed to have forgotten that Lady Bridget O'Hara had graciously permitted him to worship her, but had not bargained for being treated well, as many another out-back squatter treats his help-mate. Then Bridget would tell herself bitterly that it might have been better had she married a civilised gentleman.

He shook his head at these manifestations, and confidently informed his help-mate that he feared the boy was "not right" significantly touching, as he spoke, that portion of his anatomy where he fondly imagined a vast quantity of brain of very superior quality was safely stowed away, guarded by a sufficient quantity of skull to protect it against any accident.

His tool was the repulsive cloven-footed trio, falsehood, fraud, and faithlessness, and she whom he had chosen for his help-mate was the woman it shamed him to his inmost soul-for whom he had been in the act of sacrificing all that was honorable, precious, and dear to him. The worst infamies which he had been taught to shun were the rounds of the ladder on which this evil man intended to mount.

Ye have provoked hostilities with that Savyasachin, who hath for his bow the invincible Gandiva, of fiery energy, and who hath me for his helpmate. Who, even if he were Purandara himself, would challenge Partha having me for his help-mate, unless, of course, his span of life were full?

Write instantly, and tell me you triumph over all fears tell me Lydia is better, and a help-mate to you. You say she grows like me: let her show me she does so in her contempt of small dangers, and fighting against the apprehensions of them, which is better still." At last this anxiously awaited journey was taken; and, on Thursday, July 7, Mrs. Sterne and her daughter arrived in Paris.

There is nothing they so much dread as being left on foot with an empty gun and no time to load, when perhaps a single shot might change defeat into victory; sure captivity into freedom, or a dead companion into a laughing, jolly and lovable help-mate, ready for setting a trap or to engage in the next bloody skirmish.

All the world caters to him ready-made clothing is measured to fit his figure, and it is sold cheap; the average restaurant consults his taste and his pocket; the average woman just suits him as a help-mate; he is much at home with his neighbors, most of whom diverge little from the average. Why strive to rise above the average and fall into a divine discontent?
