stands inquiring, seeking expla-nations, thinking.

This is because woman was created to answer wants, to attend to the existence of the living beings that surround her, and to bestow happiness on her children, her husband, her mother, her grandchildren, whom she loves—each of them having a particular personality and differing desires; and this makes her, by instinc-tive discernment, perceive the recesses of the soul in each one of them, and understand their many demands with their divergent aims.

Such is the mother who grasps the meaning of moth-erhood, and who appreciates the immense responsibility laid upon her shoulders. But are there not ignorant mothers who draw down upon the child sins that society will not forgive them?

There are women who, on the plea of preserving their beauty, disdain to nurse their children at their own breasts, for fear of the slackening that might disfigure that beauty, their supreme idol; and so they deprive the child of the blessing of nursing, and the little one grows up with the spring of every human feeling dried up in him—the feeling that wells from the breast of the mother, now turned to stone, who was cruel and unjust, and slapped his heart with the storms of deprivation—those storms which so often leave, in the depths of his psyche and the bottom of his soul, wounds and pains.

We see that most children of wasted bodies and emaciated limbs are victims of deprivation of the necessary nourishment carried by the mother's milk. The Prophet said: "Deny not the one suck nor the two, nor the one nursing nor the two" (hadith).

Scientists have proved that the child's gentle suck exercises the muscle of the breast, strengthening and developing it and adding to the mother's beauty and her immunity; they have likewise proved, from the medical standpoint, that the mother's milk is vitally neces-sary in the child's nutrition, for the abundance of nourishing substance in it that is not found in powdered milk.

As for the psychological stand-point, no two people differ that the child whom his mother has satisfied from her own milk has his psyche wrought upon by all the human influences that stream from the breast of the love and affection which the

child feels in that clasp to her bosom; he basks in its warmth, settled there, drinking from its springs the good things by which his powers are perfected.

And what is that clasp but the very hope toward which a girl's soul aspires from her earliest youth, when she clasps her doll to her breast with an embrace to which her instinct and her purity impel her? Is it lawful for her, then, to deprive her living doll, afterward, of the instincts of tenderness, the impulses of compassion, the merits of love and affection, and the qualities of brimming humanity?
