 She began to speak about Mary.

 Seven and half pounds is consider cd normal weight for a boy, with a half pound less reckoned as an aver age for girl. It is likely that the taby will loss from six to ten ounces for several days after birth. The first month is not marked by any particu- lar gain. but after that. six ounces a week is considered normal gain. After six months, and ID to the end Of the first year, three or four ounces a week is considered a sufficient gain.
 During the summer months the gain will not be so great.

As the Raggedys and the nice Gro- cery boy andtlitile Rags puppy dog ran away through the woods they could hear the mean old Witch Wig gins back beside the round hot stone bowling dismally.

 ''Uh' tat is always the way" Rag gedy Ann replied. Whenever any one is mean and selfish, they always think they are in the right and that cyery- one else is trying 10 cause them un- happiness But when anyone is hap py and generous and tries always to be kind and cohsiderate to everyone, then that kind person thinks every one else Is nice and lovely It Is just Ike looking through different colored glass.

 Of course the nice kind Grocery boy knew that this Nas very true indeed, for he had always used the clear piece of imaginary glass to look through and had been very happy by so doing.
 The Raggcdys and the nice Grocery boy sat down upon the green moss in under the great forest trees to rest, for they had run long way and could hardly hear the wiich's howis now.

There's one thing can see, as plain as a pike staff, l never can stand her a minute after am able 10 see to things. She'd drive me out of my senses in no time"
 It was Diclly who deftly changed the subject, Dieky who kept the conversational ball rolling until Mrs. Drrkee to ali appearances forgot eNtrything except his nonsense.
 But that l.ucy's impotence ranked in her mind, 1 knew as well as l dii that she would carry out her determination to get rid of the girl, and when in duo time. We were summoned to a well-cooked and we'll served luncheon. none Of us save Dicky did it the justice 1t really de- served. Then, by common consent. whein Katherine reported her patient taking the nap which had become a part of her daily routine, we all drifted into the library and debated what was just to be done.
 If only she could go away some where until she is fully recovered" Katherine said.
 Wed love to have her come to us" Dicky and I spoke at once.
 'Too near. She'd be running home to see that Leila wasn't oNer-doing. Indeed, she wouldn't go anywhere on that account. If only there was some woman relative or friend 10 whom she'd, be willing to transfer responsibility for little while."
 Involuntarily l glanced at Leila, caught her looking at me, and knew that she had the same thought. And then, as if our thoughts had power to materialize, there was a whir of taxi wheels outside, an impatient Ting at the door, still more impuisive entrance, and Edith Fairfax's voice cried;

 Now look here. Empress of my life" he ssid, dropping into his former posture on q cushion at her feet, you like your bad boy lot don't you"''
 Mrs. Durkee slapped his hand smartly, and made saucy moue at him.
 No don't try to get round me. Dicky-bird." she said, 'eNen if you did make your peace with Lucy"

 "Ill Have You Know"
 But think what a mockery it would be to have you plan meal, and not cook it yourself, or at least stand right over the person who was cooking it." Dicky persisted.
 By the gratiiied t;tle look which spread over Mrs. Durkee's face, I knew that he had struck twelve. If the little woman has a farorite van- !. ity it is her culinary ability, and 1t is feeling fully justified, for she Is that rarity, a natural cook.
