woman is good natured, but she Thought
that as she paid her own carfare to and
from the church and was a volunteer singer
she ought to have some say. about the sort
Of hat she should wear. Other girls In the
choir advised her to defy the request Of the
professionals. But the girl decided TO main

Physical culture for babies has opened
up a new and profitable employment for
women" said O trained nurse. "There
are lots Of rich parents who seldom bother
about exercise for themselves who want
their babies to grow up straight limbed,
deep ohested and strong and 1t lie. well not
only for the babies but for trained nurses,

for regretting that I was born in this tow
Is that l can never find out. I'd give a
good deal to experience the thrill that must

consumed by the populace. That, / own,
was not a very exalted sentiment, Many

Harry Pulliam from the presidency OF the
National League last December, The Ma

holds Office under the city COVE rnment is
furnished with a badge blythe city, The city

alike. Each, however, is OF gold, and as
elaborate as it could be made, while a large
diamond setting is the browning feature
OF each.
