and attention that were given to Car
rie's children, but now that she had
one of her own, which she felt would
not receive half the attention, she
knew how much more jealous and re-
sentful she would be.
She felt that it would be much bet
ter not to take the baby to the Christ
mas dinner. She wanted to say that
Winifred had a cold and had TO be
left with the nurse-that, too, would
give an excuse for leaving early. But
Warren had insisted most strongly
that the baby must go. On that point
he seemed immovable.
And she knew he was planning to
spend the whole day. Dinner was TO
be at two, the Christmas tree after
that, and then they were invited to
stay for supper and the evening.
PREMONITORY FEAST.
1t would be the first time she had
ever had the baby there. How would
she act? Suppose the strange surround
ings should brighten her? What if she
should cry most of the time? Helen
pictured her own modification and
Carries quiet air of superiority, for
Carries babies had always been
good" She was constantly being told
what model babies they had been.
But there was another reason why
she dreaded to take the baby-a rea-
son she did not like to admit even to
herself While Winifred was far pref
tier than when she was born, she was
still not a "beautiful' baby. No
amount of mother-love could make
Helen think that.
She was not homely-her little fea-
lures were straight and very good.
Her hair was so fine and silky and so
light in color that it looked as though
there were none at all.
And Carries babies had all been
"beautiful'' even when they were
young The whole family had pictures
of them everywhere. Lawrence, Car
ries husband, had a kodak, and from
the number of babies pictures, Helen
thought he must have spent most of
his time photographing them.
DREAD AND JEASOUsY.
They were taken in their bath, in
their baby carriages, asleep in all con-

pretty. Why Helen had to admit that.
They all had beautiful dark hair, and
plenty of it, and now to take Winifred
with her little bald head, and have
them compare her with the pictures
of Carries babies" that hung every
where,
She couldn't tell Warren of her feel
ings about this, he wouldn't under
stand. And even if he would, still she
couldn't have told him. Her mother
pride would guard, even from her hus-
band, the secret fear that she might
not be proud of her baby.
Everything together, she felt she had
never dreaded the holidays as shs
dreaded them this year.
And the presents! The whole family
had always given Carries babies such
expensive presents. She had seen the
silver cup and silver rattles and feed
ing spoons that had been given to Car
rie's first baby. What if in this respect,
too, they should make a marked diff
ference with hers.
She tried not to dwell. on these
comparison of his family's favoritism
toward Carries children was growing
upon her. She knew that it would only
bring her many heartaches and much
bitterness. And yet she felt her help
