Club women In Syracuse have thought
of something novel TO take up their spare
moments, says the New York Press. They
propose--that is, some Of them--to spend
n day each week amusing babies at the
summer playground in Kirk park. AL
though such an appropriation OF their
time s generally looked upon as exceed
ingly generous. there are scoffers who
suggest that some OF the volunteer nurses
have n confused Idea OF what they are
about 20 undertake and that the babies
may have peculiarly difficult time OF H.
They also suggest that children who are

His wheeze and his paunch and his gout.
To the handsome and ardent musician
With the holes in his shoes and his hat?
Dan Cupid you queer little devil,
Why don't you mend matters like that?
What makes you set deacons to dancing,
Or change merry maidens To sad?
What makes you turn good fellows sober
And drive all the sober ones mad?
Young Giltedge has fought with his peo-
pie,
And married on nothing a year.
Dan Cupid, you odd little devil.
What makes you, what makes you so

Trapping sages in pitfalls of folly.
Giving innocence lessons I'm guile,
