Depew, enyeloped in long automobile
cloak, alighted, entered the store. and
was speedily engaged in examining the
"trousseau" with which tiny strangers
are equipped.
That many of the articles were un-
familiar to her was evident from the
question she asked, and which greatly
amused the saleswomen. Word was
passed around as to her identity and
the clerks who were disengaged gath
cred near to gaze at the distinguished
customer
Isn't that rather long?" asked Mrs.
Depew as the saleswoman held up
few yards of shapeless nainsook and
lace. why do babies have to wear
SO much unnecessary clothing?" she
added.
Senator's Wife Embarrassed.

"The first ones?" repeated Mrs. De-
