A MAN, A WOMAN
: AND A BABY :
Copyright, by Shortstory Pub. Coz
BY c. F. MARTIN

He was very small, very plump, and
very pretty; he was possessed of a
somewhat philosophical turn of mind
He spent most of his time lying in a
soft bed in bright, sunny nursery
and he was regularly given his dinner
tn nicely warmed bottle.
The person who was most familiar
to his wondering eyes was dainty
white-clad, white-capped girl, who was
always cheerful and happy. It made
the baby happy to look at her; he ex.
pressed his pleasure by Growing in a
language which he and the nurse
seemed perfectly to understand.
He was dimly aware that outside the
narrow limits of his nursery there ex-
listed q big, noisy, confusing world.
He had received vague impressions
concerning it during the brief hours
which he usually passed outside on
sunny afternoons. On these occasions,
however, the fresh air always put him
to sleep so promptly that he had had
but little opportunity to examine the
strange things surrounding him.
Remotely connected with his inner
life there appeared to be other person
alities than that Of his nurse, al
though he had never been able to sat-
isfactorily analyze their relationship.
On rare occasions man had made
brief visits to the nursery. He gen.
orally looked gravely at the baby for a
short time, asked a few calm Ques-
tons of the white.capped nurse, and
went out.
The baby always felt much in awe
of the man; he never crowed when
the man was present.
More frequently the baby had a
visitor who in some respects resem.
bled his nurse, except that she was
much more beautiful and more daz.
zlingly attired. She often bent long
over the bed, and looked earnestly at
the baby Her face, despite it's
beauty, never seemed happy like that
of the nurse, and she never talked in
the language which the baby and the
nurse understood.
The baby's face always grew solemn
with wonder and expectation when the
woman stood over him. Somewhere
in his being he felt a prompting to
crow to her; he somehow felt that it
might bring a smile to her sad eyes
but he had never quite dared.
One day as the nurse was preparing
his dinner the woman entered. She

was very pale, and her beautiful eyes
were shadowy.
"You may go out for an hour, Liz.
zie," she said, II will give the baby
his bottle to-day"
The nurses eyes opened wide with
establishment, but she made no com.
ment as she complied.
After the nurse had gone the woman
knelt by the little white bed, and mys-
titled the baby beyond measure by
bursting into tears. For time she
sobbed uncontrollably, while the baby
forgot his bottle in his wonder.
When she grew calmer she poured
out her heart to the baby. He seemed
to understand, and she had no other
confidant. She told him many things
of neglect, misunderstanding, and
heartbreaks. Finally she ceased talk
ing, and sat motlonless, her dark eyes
gazing absently out of the window.
The door opened softly, and the
woman started to her feet; when she
saw the man quick flush sprang to
her cheeks.
81 beg your pardon" he said, in
stfnctively lowering his eyes, II did
not mean to intrude-I did not know
you were in
'1--I have been giving the baby his
bottle" she stammered, conscious of
her tear-stained face. Don't let me
drive you away" she continued as he
half-turned toward the door "D;d yo,,
come to see the baby? l didn't know
you"
Ever came to see him?" he sup
plemented, as she hesitated. Eyes, l
come in now and then to see how
he is getting along; Lizzie is rather
young to have the care Of a baby"
Don't you think he is a little pale
to-day?' she asked.
The man studied the baby grayely
for q moment. 1T seems to me he
does look a bit under the weather."
he said, judicially. II wonder If he
gets enough to eat"
The baby, emboldened by the con.
tents Of his bottle and somewhat reas.
sured by the attention he was re.
ceiving, gave little gurgle, followed
by the best crow he was capable of
producing Then he smiled cordially
at the two grave faces above him, con.
fident that they would understand that
he was ready to accept overturas for
his favor.
The woman's eyes lighted up; she

STRIPES AND POLKA DOTS.
Methods Of Trimming That Will Make
Any Simple Frock Ornamental.

One of the pretty ways of making
simple frock ornamental is trim
ming it with an opposite design in the
same coloring
To be explicit, polka dots are in
fashion and frocks in this design are
trimmed with wide bias bands of plaid
or striped material in the same color.
A striped frock is trimmed with a
wide straight band of polka dot mate
rial.
A plain surface is trimmed with
both the polka dot and the striped
fabric, and when the combination is
we'll done it does not really look like
a patchwork quilt.
1t can even be carried out in yokes
and stocks, as nets in fashionable col
ors now come with a tiny polka dot of
white. 1t is usually in small open
circle instead of real polka dot, but
it gives the same effect
These nets are put in tiny tucks and
used instead of lace, embroidery or
muslin.

GROWING RUTABAGAS.
What One Farmer in the Northwest
Has Been Able to Do.

Root growing has been successfully
practiced by Thomas A. May of Lari-
more, N. d. In 1906 he grew six acres
of rutabagas and harvested about 5000
bushels, reports Prof Thomas Shaw
in Orange Judd Farmer. His land is
loan, but has in it little sand. He
grows millet before the root crop.
This aids in cleaning the land. Then
as soon as the crop is removed he
plows the land lightly. This is to bury
weeds. Then he puts on 80 loads Of
farm manure per acre. This is plowed
down in the spring as soon as the
grain Is sOwn. The ground is thor
oughly pulverized on the surface. 1t
Is then made into raised drills by
using a double mold-board pillow and
marker. The rows are made about 33
inches apart. Late in May or early in
June the seed is sown in the raised
drills by using turnip drill drawn by
one horse, which sows two rows every
round. A little roller attached to the
drill covers the seed and firms the
ground. The crop is kept clean by
horse and hand cultivation. When
harvest time comes the tops are re-
moved with hoe and the turnips
pulled out of the ground by running
a harrow over them.
Mr.. May has succeeded in getting
great crops of wheat after turnips. In
1905 he grew nearly AZ bushels of
bluestem wheat per acre from six
acres. The average in the neighbor-
hood was Is bushels. or course, this
may not follow on all soils, but on his
lands he gets his best wheat after
roots, the ground having been thus
MANFRED before the roots are sown.
He has a fine herd of cattle and he
finds what everyone else has found
who raises roots, that they are
grand food for calves and, indeed, for
any class Of cattle in the winter sea-
son.

Threading Frock With Ribbon.

The fashion of threading the frock
with ribbons at flounce depth around
the skirt is a pretty one.
The Sits are cut about three inches or
more apart, then buttonholed. The rib
bon or velvet is passed in and out as
one would when using beading, and the
fullness Of the skirt is drawn up to
suit the wearer, when long ends are
tied into bows and loops either at
intervals or just at the left side.
1t is no use thinking that beading
will answer, for it will not. The ma
terial of the skirt itself must be cut
through.

PLACING a Couch,

COuches are now so much used in
sitting rooms that any arrangement
that has even spice of novelty
should be welcomed. So try putting
the couch in the corner of the room
SO that it touches the wall at one end
and behind it, At the other end, with
its back against the divan, stand a
bookcase, which is a complete screen
to the couch. The latter piece fronts
out toward the room, so that any one
entering sees the bookcase at once,
and on going farther into the room
the couch comes into view.

Hosiery Decorations,

Since the fad for decoration has be-

talent for fashioning flowers and bow

the fronts of her hosiery from toe to

Value Of Mulchinu Vines.

Often squash, cucumber and melon
vines do not make rank, healthy
growth after the hot weather sets in.
Their roots are small and fibrous and
naturally grow near the surface, where
they are soon burned by the sun, un,
less the plants have grown rank
enough to shade the ground we'll.
We find there is no trouble of this
kind when the ground is mulched with
hay, straw or litter before the vines
have begun to run, In the case of
cucumbers this is especially valuable,
as the "cukes' are so clean, never
coming in contact with the soil

LITTLE ERRORS THAT WORRY.
How Some Of Them May Be Avoided
by the Home Dressmaker.

1t is usually the little errors in
dressmaking that are the most irri-
tating and annoying to the woman
who does her own dressmaking. The
unlined waist is one of the hardest
garments to fit correctly. When
wrinkles come at the base of the arm
hole, the trouble usually is that the
armhole has been made too small.
If it is, do not cut it out, but simply
snip it with the point of the scissors
to see if the wrinkles are removed.
If the wrinkles are not removed, then
trim the armhole.
If the waist wrinkles at the base of
the collar line in the back, see if your
belt is in the proper place exactly at
the waist line and that the line from
the center back of the belt is plumb.
If you are sure that the belt is cor
rectly placed, then snip the collar
with the point of the scissors at each
side Of the center back of the collar
and wrinkles in all probability will
be removed

Athlete Finds Better Training Food
