From the "Star's' Town Talker: 81 see
that Marsh Murdoch has come out in de-
Tense of the enfant terrible attending
church and making his presence known
by those manifestations of pleasure or dis
pleasure peculiar to babyhood Marsh is
right. and has probably incurred the
pleasure of more mothers by his kick of
righteous indignation against the old
maid who protested against the babes in
chnrch (for nobody but all old maid would
ever dream OF doing such u thing than the
enmlty of few woman suffragists, who
were highly indignant when he referred
to the ''hen convention" But Marsh is a
diplomatiSt after all, who understands
the art of handling the ladies to the best
advantage. Having apparently healed the
breach by his advocacy of the dear little
babes In church, he may expect to take
decided stand for babies in the home-that
is in such homes where there are none but
where there ought to be.
