Agitation or excitement TO the mother acts
directly and speedily upon the child. The
bond between them is so close that the baby

ton. A case in point was that of a young
mother whose new born baby was apparently
in perfect condition until it was three DAYS
old 1t had nursed without trouble until
that time, and although a tiny creature, bade
fair to do well. On the morning of the fourth
day there came a batch of letters to the

congratulatory, she was permitted to open
and read them. Among them was one from

"Just look at that lady, said middle aged
gentleman as he paused for moment at the
entrance of his club, and raised his hat gal
lantly to a woman who passed. She was tall,
graceful, her face was comely and her bear

'rl tell YOU about her She studied art
abroad for three years before her marriage.
Critics declared her to be unusually gifted
perhaps genius. She didn't take to the pink
rose and apple blossom style of art. Her
pictures were realistic landscapes and strong
figure pieces. Some brought pretty good
prices in London-three l believe found buy
ers in Paris and some were sold in New York.
But, like most other girls, Cupid marked her
and she married Children came fast until
she had three. There was small time then
for welding the paint brush and indulging
in the fancles that resolve into ideals OF
beauty under skillful touch.

old the husband died Scarcely was the
funeral ended when she found that she and

paint pots into 4 closet, got some things on

her sleeves, built fire in her kitchen stove
and went to cooking. What forl Why, to
sell the things she made. She baked up some
angels food and some chicken pies. She car
ried them to some of her friends and said she
wcs ready to take orders. She keeps four
mid servants now to help her make this deli
ccto cake and her chicken pies, and she can't
begin to Gil her orders. She has bought a
snug homo in tho last year and is altogether
prosperous, with a business growing faster
than she can keep W with it.
