But there was one ip the courtroom who heard, and was roused into a peculiar consciousness by the words. That person was Mrs. Leonora Z. Meder, also a lawyer. Days after, the line kept repeating Itself. And then she asked herself: “Home or career?” And the answer was simply, “Home.” That’s how Chicago has come- to lose its foremost woman politician, club leader and barrister. “I’m going to chuck it all,” says Mrs. Meder. “For the glamor of public life, women give up children,^'husband and home. Success? Fools’ gold! I’m through. The end is the grave. Empty nothingness!” And this decision she made after thirty years of intimate dealing with the public. It came right on the eve when the women's Democratic organizations had announced her name as the candidate for Judge at the coming elections. Success is hers! She was the woman who had been public welfare commissioner, and the first of her sex to sit in an Illinois Jury box. Her practice at law was bringing in more than a handsome living. But, “No,” she said. “It's back to the home for mine. Not that I have neglected the one I have, nor the duties to my children—one, my own; (he eight others, my sister’s little orphnns. I’ve tried to he a good mother, but I feel now that I might be a better one. “After all, the old-fashioned mother was the best of her type. She might not have known much about antiseptics, adenoids or tonsils, but she surely knew how to bake an apple pie. “Home! What a wonderful word.
