 Junior always has accorded me loving greetings upon my return from any absence, even anything so short as a shopping tour. But there vas something unusual about this rapturous welcome and across his curly head looked at Katherine in whimsical inquiry.
 How does it seem to be Dad com- ,ng home?" she asked, smiling.
 My arms about my small son re- laXed for an instant as her mean ing struck me, and I stared at her. Then, with an answering. compre- henstve smile, I frightened my clasp again and returned Juniors ecstatic kisses.
 There was quality In my little lads welcome which heretofore had been reserved for his father. AL ways in sickness or in his childish griefs he turns unerringly 10 me, but, like most mothers, l have been the always present background, 2eldon missed and therefore taken for granted, while his fathers home- comings at night after the long days absence have been the occasion for almost hysterical demonstrations of ioy from Junior.
 You're q New Woman"
 I had not realized that unconsci- ously I had been jealous of those rapturous squeals and hugs of vel come as compared to the equally loving but more matter-of-f greetings accorded to me, until this moment, when. with Junior swarm ing up my body monkey fashion, crossed the floor and sat down in the easy chair which Katherine pushed forward to me. and gave my self up to the cuddling of my boy.
