 In gently undulating waves this baby talk gurgled out of the bathroom window in the fiat across the narrow shaft and rolled in the top of the con- f1rmed bachelors bedroom window.

 This ended in a long kiss.
 The c. B. rubbed his eyes and reached for a cigarette. After ,all, why should a dissipated bachelor like him. who had spent Saturday night in careless carou- sal. expect orderly domestic people who keep the peace and go to bed with the chickens to consider him and his com forts on Sunday morning?

But he could see it just the same, with its chubby, rosy little face, its strong baby limbs splashing around In the water and it's fists beating a tattoo on the tub sides. Yes, babies all looked alike to him, and he had seen his dear little sisters Flu gene get his morning bath many a time in the good old days gone by.

 Now, um all foo, isn't um? An um doin' to det dwy in a bid towel, ess a baby is."
 The c. B. closed his eyes again. A pang of regret shot through him. Here was he, a lonely, unloved duffer, in a cold, miserably kept flat, and there was some lucky man across the shaft with a cherished wife and baby and a home.
 And then his illusion was rudely dis pelled. There was short, sharp, yelp. ing bark, followed by a whine of pain, and then the query, full or motherly solicItude:
 ''Oo poor lite dear! Did co mamma wub her 'itte petsie- wetsle too hard?"

The problem of obtaining a healthy potato seems to have been solved in France by the new species that has been under test. This was found wild in marshy districts of Uruguay, has lost its bitter taste after several years of cultivation, and is reported to have an enormous yield. The blossoms supply a jassamine like per- fums. One planting of a field suffi- cient for a number of years as brok- en roots left in the soil spring up each season after the first.
