Home Nursing
Overfeedi1,s
sp n. ,rssir Ls,Tca

Junior, the Jones baby, was de- ligAtful scrap ef humanity to whom the household and many relations were ut terly devoted.
 He was the first baby and his father, interested as he was in real estate news, found himself furtively dancing over the top of the paks whenever the baby was in the room. He seldom knew much more about real estate activities when he had finished reading than when he opened the paper.
 But, like msny first babies, life was trifle hard on Junior because not everyens understood what was good for him.
 Juniors young parents almost es- tranged themselves from some of the old-fashioned members of the family. They made themselves quite unpopular by insisting that their child should be neither kissed on the mouth nor played play is to bounce baby about like a rubber ball and shriek There v in his startled ear. l Visitors were < not allowed in the nursery when the baby was asleep. Pork rinds, preferred by ifdplgent aunts who insisted that they were just the thing to 'chew on and help the dar- ling's teeth through" were absolutely taboo. < In spite of this, however. the young parents made one frequent and un- fortunate error. They put toe much faith in the scales upon (which Junior was weighed morning and evening. Suddenly Junior began to lose weight With desperate uuspoken fear in her heart his mother piled him with food and worried.
 The young father grew pale and dis traught and found himself phoning home after the baby's bath each day to know what the scales registered. The doctor, summoned hastily, looks fine! You are probably over feeding him.
 "But he's losing weight! !" sr6aned the father. The baby made q playful lurch at his mothers face and she held him close as if she expected him to slip through her fingers.
 X Does he finish all his feedings P asked the doctor.
 Hardly ever,'' admitted Juniors mother, tearfully,
 .'Fine! Splendid!" beamed the doe tor. The baby's father glared.
 "Just increase the intervals between I his feedings for few days and give him some cool water if he seems hum gry. Every time baby cries he isn't necessarily hungry, you knew, He may want a dripk-or almost anything" the doctor said. "But frequently eserzeal- ous parents give more heed to the scales than to, the baby's stomach capacity. Some babies never eat as much as others. But never eyertaI the infant stomach. Give him his next bottle an hour later than usual and let me know if he finishes it.
 The doctor went cheerfully away and the young parents looked at each other doubtfully. He ought to know, but it sounds >cold-bloaded to me" said the baby's father, and took day off from the office.
 Junior emptied his next bottle. And he stopped losing weight almost at | once.

She was the little girl next door when Avery Hyde first saw her. He was already acting small parts in a good company and whenever he came home to see his parents there was Joan. One day when he saw her try ing to dance on the fire escape he dis covered two things-that he loved her and that she had the making of an ac- tress.
 The next year he married her. She was IT. d slim, golden thing. with a voice like a,cello, full, mel w, vibrant. He began to teach her all he knew lbout dramatic art, which was consider lble, for he had been we'll trained.
 Joan began to be happy. She thought it so wonderful that a real actor should enter in at the door of aer life and carry her away into glori- ,us new worlds of adventure. In those lays Avery was good looking, and he sad winning way, To Joan he was ! cavalier. Hitherte-life had been scnfined and dreary Ut her aunt's and she had had nothing better than g life il the mill to look forward to. Avery
  Jim, and she loved him.
 Within year she knew more about acting than Avery had ever been able to learn. She had talent and imagina- iOn. She made her husband believe in aer future.
 Joan" he said, "l'll get somebody b tinance me and I'll star you. You should have your own company"
 This is what he did: There were eight people in the read company, all or them, except Joan, ee medium abil- ity like Avery. Joan carried the whole company along. She was the company and the play.
 Everywhere they went she was . success and drew crowded houses. They eheered every appearance she made. She had way of appealing to peoples hearts.
 < And she was amazingly beautiful, in- tensely golden ad white with wonder fully nodded limbs. She could take . worn-out part and make it live, make it a vivid, delightful new thing.
 Money came in freely and Avery al- lowed her to spend as she chose. She had a marvellous taste for dress. Ev- erything she wore was Subservient to her colOying, yet intensified it. In a gray gown she was the sun shining through mist, in a green one golden lily springing up from it's leafy green.
 No purer, truer woman ever lived. She adored her husband and her grati- tude to him. never ceased. She even refused to see that she was growing away from him.
 Then her chance came. She re- ceived an offer to get into big play; she exactly answered to the part. She knew what that meant. She knew that to accept meant to stand on the thresh- old of triumph. But there was Avery, She would have to leave him behind. the company would go to pieces. Why, they would not be able to keep going a Dlunth without her.
 No" she said. T can't"
 Avery urged her. He knew what he knew.
 Its your chance, Joan. You're a big actress. Go on. Don't hang back waiting for me. l can never catch up with you
 ;'Then I'll stay with you" she replied quickly.
 He perceived the sacrifice and he struggled bravely against her making it. But she would, and did, make it in spite of all.
 She kept on with the road company. rAey journeyed up, they journeyed down. They played week stands in ev- erY small town north, south, east and vest. Avery began to talk v tA-i-
