she waited patiently for the pre-

real mother business could begin, but
her mother must have been very busy
that day, for she went away without
being really introduced to Marjorie.
Marjorie was disappointed. She had
become used TO being regarded as an
entertainment for the faces that passed
by, and she had become accustomed to
have the incubator people regard her
as case but she did not
like to have her mother look upon
her merely as statistic"

Beware Of Satire
Ordinarily a little satire does a joke

Satire Is excellent, provided YOU satirize
the right perSen--or persons. This the
Roman wag realized too late. II that
miserable little Joke OF his had been

centurion, or some court beauty whom
the Emperor didn't like. the conse-

been vastly different. But the satire
was aimed at Tiberius. So. too. Mr..
Buffers head was perfectly safe when,
in Pigs is Pigs he satirized the
methods OF express companies aud the

their agents. The ladies enjoyed the
satire OF Pigs Is Pigs" because most

The Unscienti6c Baby

And that settled the matter and must
have scared little Marjorie, for one day
when her scientific mamma was of
reading a paper on Scientific Mother
hood at the annual convention of the
Federation of Women's Clubs, Marjcrie
ruthlessly smashed the schedule by
learning to creep before the predeter-
mined time.
There was at least one ld-fashioned
person in the Fielding home Miss

nurse she was ignorantly human.

way OF doing without lacing and wear

Marjorie they had a good time They
sat on the floor and imbibed germs,
and they did all sorts OF unscientiflc.

why Marjorie remained sweet. cheer

Marjorie and she were engaged In a

the scene. He reproached the private

Fielding was staggered.

ket or other covering upon the said
hoor.
These are by no means the only
thrusts made at scientific motherhood.
Chiswick, the nurse. though herself a
product Of scientific training, was a
little afraid of the schedule drawn up
by the committee
IT'S a nice schedule. ma'am. I'll say
that for it," she said. "but IL the day

disconnected. But Miss Wiies of the

creep said the lady chairman, de-
cidedly.
