Rain last week did not come too

the two roots beginning to give. All
the time the little cub was whimper-

what to make Of all this. Farmer
Browns Boy talked to him soothingly.

tough! l guess you'll be more careful

BY this time Blacky the Crow and
Sammy Jay had stopped talking. For

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The day the baby is born the
mother should begin to keep a book
Of records. These may be as ornate as
one can afford land surely no new baby
ever failed to receive one or moree-
or it may be q good stout note book
with the pages sewed in. The i'm
portant thing is that the mother keep
it up religiously.
The important records are not the
sentimental ones, such as when baby
took his first outing, whom he called
on, and who were baby's first visitors;
these are interesting but unimporta mt.
The valuable records have to do with
the baby's physical development. All
the things which mothers are sure
they will always remember and which
fly out of their heads a few weeks
or even few hours later should be
put down. 1t takes but a minute or
two each night to Jot down the items
of the day which should be preserved
and one need not be a Samuel Pepys
either.
Divide the record book into months,
weeks and days. Some days may not
deserve any unusual recognition. But
each week the baby's weight should
be recorded Sunday is a good day for
this, as father will be home to help
with the weighingl-and every day
one will keep a record of how many
hours the baby sleeps; any variations,
such as length of crying spells, collie,
etc. Looking back over this record
will open the mothers eyes to some
important facts. If the baby cried
every day after certain feeding she
can rule out collie and suspect hunger
after this feeding. Just seeing it
down in black and white makes the
problem seem clearer and therefore
easier to solve.
When baby begins new foods iot
down the amount and hour given and
in the next day or two one will find
the result of this new feeding.
In the back of the record book may
measures for the first year. Also the
time at which the average child
teethes, walks, sits alone, talks. This
will help the mother to discover how
far her baby is deviating from the
normal
This sort of book Is invaluable when
there is illness, for right there will be
noted the way the baby has acted for
the past two OF three days, the food
he has eaten, the number of stools
and so on. The doctor needs all this
information in order to give a cor.
rect diagnosis, and no mother can
rely on her memory because unless
she intends to put it down some event
may not be noticed and then she is
helpless and says, II can't imagine
what caused this
When a mother has her second baby
she won't make the same mistakes,
If she looks over the first child's
record book. These records have a
dozen uses, not to mention the in
finite delight they are bound to give
the children when they are grown.

To Feed or Not to Feed.

Chronic peptic ulcer (ulcer of stom-
ach or duodcnunl) is now recognized as
common disease. DIR. Douglas Van
derhoof asserts that it is responsible
for the symptoms in nearly 10 per
cent OF all patients complaining of per.
sIstent or recurring indigestion
In such cases il is a difficult cues
ton TO decide whether surgical or non
surgical treatment is the more desir-
able. Surgical treatment was most
popular-among the surgeons--a few
years ago. There has been a certain
amount of tisfactlon-among the
patients--with the results of these
operations, and corresponding
amount Of revision, modification or
improvement in the procedure OF the
surgeons. First they favored castro
enterostomy-that is, cutting a new
channel from the stomach into the in.
testine so as to short circuit the cbvme
or digestlng food mass around the I'll.
cerated portion Of the canal: next they
began trying their hand at pyIoro-
plasty, or remodeling the lower outlet
OF the stomach, and then cutting out
damaged portions and finally cutting
out damaged portions Of the stomach
ltSeII, procedure not to be cOmnared
with cutting out ones appendix or
tonsils or gall sac, for the lower end
OF the stomach is particularly useful
In the secretion of gastric juice for
digestlon, whereas these other acces-
series have no particular function-at
least one scarcely misses them after
they have been removed.
The surgical treatment of gastric or
duodenal ulcer seems to be rather on
the wane. l am very fond of surgery
as a patient, and yet / think if / had

How a Woman Says Good-by.

When man is ready to go he beats
1t for a door and is gone. But the
average woman takes leave In such a
way that she spends as much time
| over the good-by as she did with the
| call. It's one thing that gets mans
| goat. and he can't see why woman
| doesn't so when she's ready.
It's perfectly natural for a woman
| to linger on her neighbours doorstep
and go over the whole matter again
and neither woman can see any rea.
son why she shouldn't have half the
! call standing up. If men knew women
better they wouldn't wonder at such
a performance.
A woman doesn't say good-by and
then skip, for that would not he ar.
tistiC or womanly. 1t is her idea that
she is more like herself and her sex
when she fades slowly out Of the pic
ture. Let the men and horses run. a
woman will retire from the scene.
Everything in woman's life Is done
in just that same indefinite way. but
1t gets there just the same. She Ia
bound to think more of herself and
the kind of figure she'll cut than of
what she is doing
What she says and does is said and
way. Men are more mechanical, and
| suppose they are more efficient, but
they aren't onehalf as graceful or
taCtful as women. It's seldom, If ever,
that you see a woman i'll at ease or
awkward. She may use up a lot of
time in dressing and waste time in
making her getaway. but she puts
that time to good use.
It's up to men to understand WON
en-. and the first step in that direction
is to see that they are radically diff.
ferent. You can take anything what
soever in a woman's life and youth
find that she does this in a way pecu-
liar to the sex. This business of hang.
ing on after the call Is over is only
one example of originality.
Nature has taught woman to be in
definite and elusive. She may be af.
fecting straight lines in her present.
day costume. but that's only the fash
ion, and every fashion Is more or less
of fad. When woman is really wom-
an. she Is so much elusiveness, evan
escence. dreaminess.
This makes man mad. for he likes to
get down to brass tacks, but he'd be
all the madden If woman were to take
her cue from him and be matter-of-
fact. If she made her getaway as
soon as she got up. and If she were as
precise as men in all her ways she
wouldn't have half the drag with men
she has today. and she hasn't any too
much, as it is.
We may think that women will
change their habits. now that they are
in business, and that they will do
things man-fashion, but after woman
has taught herself to take time, do
things gracefully and make a slow de-
parture, little running for trains and
trolleys isn't going to make her over
When = girls time y up and she
can 5000, from the Office she doesn't

that's only incidental in her life.
When she has her own way she in.

Hooked Initials on Bath Towels
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

Use an ordinary embroidery hooT
for the work and not a regular hooked
rug frame. Use a coarse steel crochet
hook and n rather fine yarn, or a
coarse mercerized crochet or knitting
cotton. Hold the hoop with the left
hand and the medium with the eX
tended fingers of the same hand, Sc
that the thread can be looped by the
hook when 1t is pushed through the
material Pull each strand up to the
same height as the weave of the tow
cling. Do not cut the loops, This is
important.
Extra Strength.
Since towels must be laundered so
frequently, it is we'll to strengthen the
work by stitches on the under side.
Use white thread for this and a run
ming stitch interspersed by occasional
back stitches over threads. In this
way the embroidery threads are
doul ly held, first by pressure of the
hooking between the weave of the
material and second by the interweav-
ing on the underside with the white
cotton. The filet initials can be used
for hooked embroidery if the stitches
are taken through Java canvas, size
naught COZ. The canvas must he

back TO the more mundane things Of
life after that.
Hilda and the second maid were
talking. She couldn't very we'll help
overhearing what they said.
Through the half.opened door she
could hear the clink Of china. Hilda
was speaking.
"She sounded upset, right enough,
when I opened the door for her. You
know that kind-like doll. I'd like
to speak to Mr.. Lee she says, rolling
them big eyes and acting sorta scared,

crazy about her, if you ask me, and
she don't give him a tumble"
Hilda mumbled something that Nan
couldn't hear, and then before there
was any more conversation she stole
silently back to her room.
So the servants were discussing her.
In that moment she felt that she
hadn't a friend in the world.
She went back to her own room and
anXiously bent over Muriel. With In.
experienced fingers she touched the
baby's forehead and the small clenched
fists. They didn't seem overhot. Per-
haps she had been unnecessarily
alarmed. Miss Lambert would return
presently. and she, Of course, would
know. But in the meantime 1t wasn't
a pleasant thing to know that the
servants were gossiping. And who
was that woman who had come to see
Martin. and why had he gone off so
abruptly?

To follow the vogue is customary.
Now is the time to join the band Of
followers, if you, have not already
done so, for hooked embroidery is on
the crest OF wave of popularity.
Hooked work on Turkish toweling
is especially pleasing, because it is in
accord with the weave of the fabric,
which is made of thousands of wee
loops. short and firm. Do not attempt
to hook initials with the same fine
