GooD.-It is an odd fact that no baby
ever did, and no baby ever will, behave
well in company. The mother always
brings it into the parlor where the visi-
tor is, dressed in its clean dress, and its
father and its aunt come in smiling at
the same time. After the visitor has
kissed the baby and taken it on her lap,
and declared it is the dearest little thing
she ever saw, the baby's mother and she
begins to talk. Each talks about her
own baby as fast as she can rattle, and
both talk at once, apparently without
caring what the other is saying. In the
midst of the conversation the baby
throws up on the visitors dress and
is suddenly handed to it's mother. The
visitor smiles sickly smile, and says it
makes no difference, but she 10 mad.
The conversation is resumed, but pres
emily the father winks furiously at the
mother and frowns, and clears his throat
and makes mysterious signals at the side
of the chair with his hand. The mother
looks down and perceives that some of
the baby's undergarments are Shipping
| off, and she snatohes up that child and
flies from the room. When she returns
the child cries to go to its father and
no sooner is it settled on his knee than
| it betrays an irresistible gearing to go
| to its aunt, after which it cries furiously
| because its mother won't take it. Then
| the aunt gets piece of candy to quiet
! it, and when its hands have acquired
/ sufficient sickness, it reaches over and
mauls the visitors bonnet. Then the
| mother tries to show off its accomplish
ments but it utterly refuses to make q
display it is as stupid as an owl. II
won't say mamma or papa, and it won't
| show how big it is Its father tries tc
coax it to say papa, but it pays no at
tention to him. He tries again and again

fully afraid that the visitor will think

child by the arm and shakes it and yells

| Then the child screams like back arG
full of cats. The more the mother
soothes it, the louder it gets, until a
last the father exclaims, Gimme thai
brat ~ and picks it up and dashes out
of the room, and is heard spanking it il
the entry. Then the visitor goes home
looking at her dress, and deciding that
the end of that infant will be the gal
lows. if its characteristics are allowed tc
develop fully as it grows up.
