more like her children; and the day
she proposed to ''Alrn Mis-, Babcock
housekeepin' was day deferred.
One sad morning Mrs. Babcock
paused as she opened the kitchen pam

Saturday afternoon the little yellow
house bristled with cleanliness. Snowy
curtains were lOOred from shining win

a tired little woman was watching for
Joe, and hoping she hadn't forgotten
anything. She stroked an aggressive
flute in the curtain frill, and, hurrying
to the kitchen, restirred the contents
of a bowl. saying:

she popped in the extra yeast, beat the

When Joe Babcock reached home, a

Mollie, and, putting an arm about her,
