THE EVENING STORY An 01d-Fashioned Mother. ~ ‘The Stuart living room was bright with new cretonne-covered furniture. It made a charming background for the three young women in colorful en- bles who were calling on Dorothy. hy was the prettiest girl of the four with that sweet, wistful new mys- tery of motherhood in her blue eyes. the next room came a faint whimper. Dorothy sprang up. “He's awake! I want you to see him.” “That's what we came for,” Peggy Scott replied. Dorothy ran into the next room. ‘Willlam Stuart, jr., lay in his crib warm and rosy from his nap. Dorothy thrilled as she reached into the soft nest and lifted him out, pressing the round head with its adorable golden fuzz against her slender shoulder. “Mother's recious Sonny Boy!"” she whispered derly. She and the baby made a triumphal parade into the living room. He stared at the faces, which crowded 80 close to his. But his mother's arms spelled protection, and so his pink lips curled presently into a friendly little At that Peggy Scott snatched the next hour Junior was handled, kissed and cooed over, passed from lap to lap. Anne Martin let him hear her watch tick. Peggy Scott put her hat on his head just to see how cute he looked peeping out from under the brim. Lucia Dawes gave him a taste of candy. The three visitors played k- a-boo with him. Then they tickled him to see him squirm. More kissing and fondling. Dorothy made no attempt to stop the performance. Not for worlds would these gay new friends of hers harm her baby. It pleased her to have them find him so irresistible. It was only when Junior, exhausted from much mauling, began to howl that she took | him back to her own bosom. Then the firls scampered away. They had en- joyed the dainty toy, but a human mite that gave vent to real rags was too much for them. Junior had a bad night. William and Dorothy were up & good many times with him. In the morning Doro- thy was too tired to rise and get William's breakfast. He made a mess of his own coffee and egg and went away to his work out of humor. Dorothy's work dragged all day, Junior was cross. Her baking did not turn out well. In the afternoon she had .more callers. Again Junior had to be placed on exhibition. He looked lovely with his pink cheeks and sparkl- ing blue eyes. That night William brought an old | friend, home to dinner. ht unawares. It wasn't a good meal. < “Steak tougher than tripe,” Wil- Ham muttered, as he sawed away. Dorothy’s face reddened and her lips tight. She brought Junior in and made up for a great deal. Mr. Torrell was a bachelor who is supposed o have an easy way with bables. He bounced Junior, took him to ride on his toe, made comical faces at him and startled him by putting two fingers in his own mouth and blowing upoa them as a whistle. “A baby's a nice thing” said Mr. “Torrell, at last wsnngm.;znbr into his mother’s lap. He hi 1f was quite tired and his pink bald pate shone with his_exertion. “Makes a home,” commented Wil- lam, eying the combination of mother and child with a proudly possessive air. “He isn't & bit sleepy yet,” Dorothy complained. “Look, Billy!

He flung Dorothy was Why-not make your away his bottle. He simply couldn’t settle down. That night was worse than the pre- ceding one. Toward midnight Junior grew so feverish his parents were alarmed. They hung over loving care. After that there were a few hours of peace. But at dawn Junior awakened crying piteously. When Wil- liam went away to work he left Dorothy with a serious problem. ‘They were newcomers in the town. They knew nobody who was not as yonug and inexperienced in baby cul- ture as themselves. Relatives were far away. Dorothy longed for her own mother or William's mother. Toward noon she became so anxious over Junior’s condition that she de- cided to call a doctor. As she stood at the window studying the pages of the telephone directory for an address—she had not had occasion to call a doctor and the names were all strange to her —she glanced out and saw a woman coming down the street with a basket on her arm. Such a woman, old and plain, was an unusual sight in that bright spot. There was a look about her that made Dorothy feel that here might be the very help she needed. Those old-fashioned mothers, Dorothy had heard her mother say so, always knew exactly what to do for sick chil- FULL DRESS SUIT SHOP All New Tuxedos Full Dress Cutaways —of the better grade to hire., JULIUS WEINBERG, 814 F N.W. |DRINK WATER WHEN KIDNEYS HURT YOU | | Take Glass of Salts If Your Back Aches or Bladder Troubles You When you wake up with back- | ache and dull misery in the kid- | ney region it may mean you have | been eating foods which create |acids, says a well-known author- |1ty. ~ An excess of such acids | overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy.

Dorothy flung up the sash and leaned out over the window-sill into the sun- shine, a pretty picture in her blue dress. The second time she called the woman heard her. She stopped, stared. Then with an obliging gesture she turned toward the small new house. Dorothy oyened the door for her. “My baby's sick,” she said. “I am sure,” again came that feeling of con- viction, “you will be able to tell me what's wrong with him.” ‘The woman looked into the distressed young face. o “Just let me take a look at him," she said. | An hour later Junior was comfortably asleep.

Her broad face was very tender, very understanding. She was still breathing a soothing croon. “This is your first baby,” she said, rising and placing the child in his crib. “A first baby is always a great novelty, a great treat.

One afternoon a limousine stopped before the little house. Out stepped Aunt Martha. Dorothy opened the door. Without noticing the car she put her arms about the old lady and gave ner a hearty kiss. “Well, how is the boy?” asked Aunt Martha.
