"beautifullest" baby alta baby show
brought the story to my mind, and
back through the five years 1 saw
the picture as plainly as though it
were the yesterday that exists IN
every baby show where some mother
is sure her own baby, 'the most ex-
quisite baby on exhibition" has been
sighted in favor of homely baby
whose mother had pull with the
judges.
In small town near Philadelphia '
church decided to have baby show
in connection with the fair. There
weren't very many babies in the vii {
lage, so it did not seem there should
be much rivalry, though, of course,
every mother thought her baby, and Y
her baby only, would win the first !
prize, but every mother was of one
opinion about just one baby in the '
village, and when the mother of that '
one baby declared she intended to {
enter it in the beauty show every one
began to speak in derision when the i
mother was absent, and in a kindly I
though irritating manner when she {
was present. ....
Hers was homely baby. have
always loved homely babies more (
than pretty ones. When you squeeze !
a homely baby tight to you and kiss
it's little snub nose or the lids of it's
too small eyes you never have that '
feeling of wonder if you kiss it be-
cause of it's beauty You know YOU |
are kissing it for the pure joy of kiss
ing baby, but this baby was so ex- {
tremely homely that it seemed to me
something queer"
1t. had immense eyes, so brown (
that they seemed black 1t had a very
thin face that seemed peaked and
even old. There was something about I
it that made one think of dwarf, a ]
wise look through the ugliness of it.

mother, who afterward showed me
baby picture of herself just as queer
looking as her own baby, but no one
did notice that it was other than an
abnormally homely baby.
The mother entered the child and,
of course, it did not win any prize
and the irony of it cut deeper into the
mothers soul because there were
four prizes and five babies and hers
was the only baby denied a prize.
She stormed. The judges tried to
placate. She was a good church
worker and needed and she was also
loved.
my baby has the most beautiful
eyes of any baby herew she cried. =.
Its eyes are too large in proper
ton to its face" said the minister,
who was one of the judges, "They
make it look like an owl
'Indeed?" The mothers scorn was
whitening and her own very large and
very beautiful eyes flashed fire. 7
suppose its nose is too small?" "
Exactly" said a physician who
was one of the judges. Il don't like
to hurt your feelings because I appre-
ciate mother love, but its nose looks
like button more than nose" q
A slow red mounted to the moth

nose shifted. =.

cism to make of its mouth?' Women
would have been warned by the fury
in her voice, but the men stumbled
blindly on. ~
"Its upper lip is trife short" said
a deacon, who was the third Judge.

drawback should the child's teeth

SICK SKINS

BY RESINOL

No matter how long you have been
tortured and disfgured by itching,
burning, raw or scaly skin humors,
just put little of that soothing, an
tiseptic ResinoI Ointment on the sores.
The suffering usually stops right there!
Healing begins that very minute,
and in almost every case your skin gets
well so quickly you feel ashamed OF
the money you threw away on tedious,
useless treatments.
Resinol Ointment is not an expert
ment. 1t is doctors prescription
which proved so wonderfully successful
for skin troubles that it has been used
by other doctors all over the country
for twenty years. No other treatment
for the skin now before the public can
show such record of professional APP
proval. Every druggist sells Resinol
Ointment t5Oe. and $l.o0), and Resi-
mol Soap (25c.). They do wonders for
pinples, blackheads, dandruf and
chaAngs, and are comfort t9 skin-
