for at all, and his papa says he should
never know for whom it was intended;
it looks so cross, and baby is such a
sunshiny child.
THE one he likes, this smiling one,

1t makes baby's mouth look so much
larger than 1t really is.
His grandmother chose that one

that one where he's almost crying that
sober one. You ought to have heard
baby's grandfather when she said she
liked it.
