Detroit Free Press. It. SvorIS is to see a young married man hoIding a very young baby-his baby when he doesn't know how. Just watch one in a street car some day. Tn the first place, he never gets squared into the seat properly. for he has an idea that if he sits comfortably him seiS if won't be right for the baby Then he holds his arms as if they were a pair of pokers. One usually gets under the baby's neck somewhere so the head falls back and the mouth aies open. And the other?-well. that sort of grabs oT to the dress some iIie- where about the waist line. This gives the infants legs a chance to go on on a couple of excursions in opposite di- rections, but what difference does that make?

In fact, almost nothing can wake it up moi even the terrified, helpless expres- sion on the face of its youthful ances-
