the baby began to cry-no, not cry oaWi.
The embarrassed mother stood her Dig

and see the hossie-wossies go by. The
baby didn't want to look out OF the Win

keep on bawling.
The harassed woman bounced the
baby on her knee and implored it to want
to go dada The baby distinctly did not
want to go dada. 1t was perfectly sat

A man across looked up from his
newspaper with a scoWl. The mother
