Down south it's funny TO hear the excuses
I that an old nanny will give about the baoy
that is raised o. the bottle. All weaknesses
of brain or heart are given for that reason J.,
and whoever the man or woman may De, ne
Is regarded as the victim of a sort OF orlgi-
nal Sin or misfortune, and one that was not
bis fault / remembe once hearing very
knowing old nanny say this, when she was
talking to lot Of her intimate friends
about a young man who had forged his
fathers name, married variety actress,

THE MOTHER AND HER CHILD.
don't suppose all the talking OF all the
missions in the wide world would ever make
mothers Of women who are beasts, but they
might at least, urge them t. get somebody
to take care Of the babies who would look
after the poor little souls properly, and
would De polite enough t. cater 70 such or
binary weaknesses as hunger. thirst and
comfort. | saw woman carrying q baby
the other day, one Of those miserable limp
looking bsbles, and she had it Zing over
her arm, exactly as if it we're some sort Of
a fancy scarf. The poor little head was
webbing, and all the blood in It's body
looked as If it were trying to reach its brain.
But that woman c0olly stared at some re-
lgioGs books in a shop window and let the
baby get along as best IL could. Dsuslly
an a polite woman, but 1t was only the
persuasion Of my own parent that Kept me
from expOstulating with that woman by
means Of the end of paras1l; as my par
ent remarked: 1t wouldn't help the baby
any, and it might annoy the woman. -
When I see a child like that I always hope
it is going to die, for can't but wonder
what lie with an indifferent mother must
be. There are babies aud babies, but am
going TO tell you great secret.
THE BEST BABY IL THE WORLD"
The very rosebud among all the babies in
the world is little girl who came TO this
world three months ago, who calls me aunt
in baby language. aud who is going to be
raised on proper principles, getting good
p
er's love and. what ought TO belong espe-
cially to every girl baby, a fathers sdora-
ton. OF course, this is just between you
and me, and If some mean editor blue-pen-
ellis it out it Il because he wants that baby
himself, or else it's because he thinks wom-
ans love for babies is nonsense. Nonsense,
indeed. The woman who doesn't like a
baby in the right way will never love q
man; ard there Is not a man in the wide,

somewhere some wOmal's heart gives a
throb when his name is mentioned, and that
some woman thinks of him when she is all
alone, and thinks Of him lovingly and
kindly, excusing his faults and eXaggera-
ting his virtues.
WHAT WOMEN WE'RE MADE TO LOVE.
Did you ever happen to think that women
were made to love men and babies and to
make life comfortable for theml The supe-
nor woman looks down upon me when
say this, but believe it. There wouldn't
be quite 50 many divorces and there
wouldn't bs quite SO many matrimonial
squabbles, nor quite 80 many children who,
after seeing what was going on at home,
concluded that they didn't want to marry,

perior woman asks, What will a woman
get in return for thlsm And that is where
