Getting Ready for
The Newcomer.

During the long hours OF every day
in which I was alone I occupied my
self in the making Of clothes for my
baby-buying linen and flannel and
worsted, and borrowing patterns from
my Welsh landlady.
This stimulated my tenderness to-
ward the child that was to come. FOR
the heart Of a young mother is al
most infantile. and l hardly know
whether to laugh or cry when think
u the childish things l did and
thought and said to myself in those
first days when I was alone in my
room in that back street in Bays

The First Admiral.

A story sometimes told to ridicule
the dialect of Pudsey is that of a
traveller who astonished his friend
by telling him that the children in
Pudsey were the most intelligent
children in the world.
Why, what do they know asked
his friend.
They know who was the first
naval admiral who ever lived" the
traveller replied.
Not they Here, can you prove
it?"
Yes. If you wish. we will go to
Pudsey and l will ask any child you
like that particular question"
The friend agreed
As the traveller and his friend went
through PUdsey they saw a boy
about ten years old playing in the
street. The traveller went to him and
asked:
Now, my boy. do you know who
was the first naval admiral"
"No-a," bluntly replied the lad
There" said the traveller, turning
to his friend, didn't l tell you he
would know?"
