Another funny thing is how every
baby is beautiful You ask any papa

full. You'll find it is. even though
you were quite sure yourself that ID
isn't. You see, love is such beauti-
ful thing in itself that to those who
possess 1t all things become beautiful.
So perhaps this accounts for the fact
that the most wonderful and the most
beautiful babies in all the Great World
lay squirming helpiessly on the bed
OF soft grass in the house that Danny
and Nanny Meadow Mouse had built
in the middle sof the pile Of old corn
stalks on the edge of Farmer Browns
corn field.
There never were such babies!n
exclaimed Danny as he looked at the
four tiny, naked mites, who hadn't
even got their eyes open yet.
"Of course not!" replied Nanny

And they are 50 beautiful" replied

Nanny, and she really meant 1t.
Now that was because she saw them
with eyes OF love. You wouldn't have
seen anything beautiful about them.
In fact. you would probably have
called them the homeliest babies you
ever had seen. You see, they didn't
even have little fur coats to make
them look like real Meadow Mice.
But to Danny and Nanny they were
beautiful and wonderful. When
Danny had looked and looked and
admired them to his hearts content
Nanny sent him out OF the house.
She said there wasn't room for him
and that he was in the way. When
he wanted to do something for them
she said that there wasn't anything
he could do except to keep out Of the
way and out of trouble.
So rather disconsolately Danny went
out and sat on the door step. What
was the good Of being a father IL

Her face showed a tinge of inquietude

a lanky young man on horseback,
almost on a halt, looking at him
curiously. TIE horseman spoke a
gruff greeting as he passed and then
was off at breakneck speed: and
George watched his dust get nearer
and nearer and finally merge with
the small dusty cloud ahead. He re-
entered his cottage with queer feel

man associating with the object OF

OF the nightie modes of yesteryear
only one remains and that is the
bishop style, which is slipped on
over the head. This type always
looks very denure, and is especially
liked by many mothers because 1t is
so easy to launder, being flat. un-

broken by an unkindly wringer,
strings to be pulled out of their cas-
ings, or elastic to lose its pep" in the

More and more. however. little
girls are wearing night togs with
legs rather than the long gown. For
quite little children of either sex
the one-p piece sleeping garment with
