pursued us like haunting horror.
Last season some of the Catholic ladies

'a retreat at the convent. They receiv-
Cd u brief note from the mother superior,
when read: My children, when you join
us ir must be for life The idea of the
retreat was quickly abandoned.
The free-from-care and ease-tal1ing old
bachelor, says Tit Bits. who in his mo-
mantary lapse of wisdom contemplates
marimony, should at the same time re-
fleet on the remote but contingent posi-
h-uy of his having to some time sleep
with baby should he marry. Years of
experience of this martyrdom make me
feel it to be my duty to set forth the mis-

He will also insist on lying ''crosswise,"
"endWlse," "cat-a-cornered," bias" or
in any other position, but changes each
after few minutes sleep. His infanttle

at about O'Clock in the morning, a which

He will howl steadily and cheerfully
from until 3 o'clock, and will kick you
lurously between the shoulder blades with
every howl. II will not be of any use for
you to pat him tenderly and coo out.
There, there" He is there, and knows
it, and intends that you shall know 1t.
Il is of no use TO say, coaXingly, What
does papa's baby want?'
Papa's baby doesn't want anything but
to howl and he is gratifying that amiable
desire 10 the utmost.
1t is of no use to add to your list of
enormities by strong language. And if
your wife has been calmly passive through
il all, she will develop an amazing degree
of spirit If you dare to lay the weight of
your finger in anger on that poor, dear
little innocent darling sweetness"

Should he fan out of the bed and yell
loud enough to be heard all over your
parish, your wife win say she firmly be-

But when the registering little chap fin

sleep with one of his vevety little checks
close 10 your own, and one of his warm
soft arms around your neck, you find your
heart growing very soft and tender to-

wage war against a host, or lay down
your life for love of him.

for the hand of his beautiful daughter.
For moment the young man was inclin-
