N NO end of ways, the mother of
Theresa was a trial, No getting
away from that. And as she grew
older, the many aggravating little
facets to her personality grew more
pronounced.
She had been a dominating young
Not that her dominance had

ried in her dominance, complained bit-

With Theresa, her only child, every
one predicted total eclipse. There was
no withstanding the overshadowing

True, all true, but not quite so sim-
ple as it seemed on the surface. Un-
derneath her sense of triumph over
the old domineering ways of her moth
er, the girl was waging a bitter struggle
to throw off this tendency to feel an-
noyed at her mother's slightest re
mark: to resent her Interest in her
affairs: to leave her many questions
unanswered and to give her the curt,
uncouyteous reply Instead of the con-
giderate one she would grant a mere
stranger.
It came to be almost a madness
with her. It was practically impos-
gible for the daughter of Theresa to be
elvil to her mother, although she
would awaken from a troubled sleep

for yesterday's rudeness; and then,
Just let her so much as make a sim.
ple statement or evidence a natural in-

there sho was, ready with the slinging
retort or display of ugly manner,
“It only Mother wouldn't be meek
about it all,” she prayed to herself,
“If only she would put me in my
place the way she used to when I
was a child, If only she wouldn't
break my heart and madden me by
standing for it all. Why did I walk
out and slam the door on her just
now? Dear darling, she would go
through fire for me, and I am a beast
to her. Why was I rude to her in
front of her friends? How crushed
she looked. Oh Mother, how can I
treat you so!”
And yet, somehow, the daughter of
this mother could and did until, in
thelr circle of friends, it was not un-
usual to hear an exasperated parent
exclaim to a chiM, “Don’t be rude
about it. You'll soon have the reputa-
tion of treating me as the mother of
Theresa is treated by her daughter.”
Inevitably, it got about, this tyranny
of daughter over parent, and the situ-
ation became pretty well unhearable
all the way around, Except, strangely,
the mother of Theresa, even while her
daughter wilted and agonized over
what was happening, seemed fascinat-
ed by the change. There was some-
thing actually saddistic about the way
she bared herself for the blows of her
child, asking questions that she must
have known would bring wrath upon
her head.
“Daughter, why do you wear your
skirts so short. They're ugly”
“For the reason that it pleases me
to, and if you don't like them, don't
look.”
“Daughter, where are you going?”
“When I want to announce
move I make, I'll post a bulletin.”

supposed that this Is at least a cause
of the great longevity of clergymen,
