In Polly’s new home, the one with the rough-finish walls and the studio- llving room, there were two niches in the dining room and one in the lving room. At first Polly planned to pyt books in the niches, but found they were too shallow. So she made her living room niche a garden ot color by the use of some of her bric-a-brac. She had a tery bowl in orange. That a fragile blue-green glass vase. did not center the vase directly | below the bowl, but toward one side. On the bottom row she put more of a red sealing d. - The effect ‘was really charming. In Alice’s home, a new and rented one, too, there was a niche in the liv- ing room. But it was made deep enough to take books. There were three shelves equally spaced in the niche, Marjorie had the carpenter put two more shelves and rearrange the one already there.

As changes of clothes are neces- sary both day and night, at least three articles of underwear, plenty of diapers, three pairs of hose and a dress for each day make fewer washings for the mother and insure that baby can be kept fresh and dry. Most mothers prefer making at least a few of the dainty little dresses and buying the knitted shirts, bands and nightgowns. Too elaborate an outfit is unwise, Sometimes, sad to relate, it is not needed, and even if it is, baby out- grows these first tiny garments so quick- ly that it is nicer to be able to buy new clothes with a ir consclence. There are no “wrong” colors. White with touches of pink, blue, pale green or canary yellow are nused for all babies. ‘The idea of blue for girls and pink for boys has met the kind of oblivion it so well deserved.

Pain and helplessness and fright— Pity those in such a plight. Jerry Muskrat. Beautiful Mistress Moon, looking down on the Green Meadows, the Green Forest, the Smiling Pool and the Laughing Brook, saw as pitiful a sight as was to be seen in all the Great World. Yes, sir, she did so. On the bank of the Laughing Brook below the Pool she saw an old log, half in the water and half out on the bank. She had seen that old log for longer than she could remember. On this night when she looked down on the old log no one was there, Then she had seen a young Muskrat, one of Jerry's children whom she had often seen playing in the Smiling Pool, start to climb out on that log. He was only part way out when she saw him plunge back into the water and there splash and kick and kick and splash, yet remain right there. She knew what it meant. She had seen that dreadful thing many times before. That young Muskrat was csught in & trap, & dreadful thing which had seized one leg in cruel, steel jaws, and now hung on with a grip that' no amount of struggling could loosen. A chain fastened that trap securely to the log.

It was his father, Jerry Muskrat! ‘The young Muskrat was so glad that he started forward to meet his father. He forgot for the moment that he was held fast by one leg. The result was that he tumbled with a splash into the shallow water beside the old log. ‘Whimpering, he crawled back, dragging JERRY MUSKRAT LOOKED AT HIM FOR A MINUTE WITHOUT SAYING A WORD. that dreadful trap. It was with the greatest difficulty that he managed to get back on the log. Jerry Muskrat looked at him for a minute without saying a word. When he did speak all he said was: “So here you are.

Real love doesn't include delight in torturing with doubt the man one loves. Your lovely little friend seems to take & certain pleasure in’'making you sus- pect her, Since you have no way of proving her either right or wrong you're naturally in & very uncomfort- able position, and #t would seem only friendly considerationt on her part to put you out of your misery with a few truthful utterances. She sounds to me like one of those delightful dames who can't bear to ‘be out of the limelight for a second. When she thinks you're getting used to her love, she plans a nice little sur- prise for you in the form of a revela- tion about herself which you hardly know whether to believe or not. And when all shocks have failed to move you she decides that she won't see you again—she will go out of your life forever, etc., ete. Well, let' her go. And let her stay out of your life. She has never brought you a mome: peace or happiness since you knew her. Bhe upset your life, ruined your work, shattered your nerves. tty J.: Let him tell you whether he's a mi man or not.
