l heard about a young mother OF
a 9-month-old baby who was trying
her best to bring her young son up
according to the approved rules OF
baby feeding and care.
Mary Smith had a good baby doctor
who had put the baby on the proper
milk formula when his breast feed
ings We're stopped. The youngster
also got his orange juice, his egg
yolk and his well cooked cereal.
But the baby's father. happy Bob.
loved comfort. He thought he loved
the baby happy. But Bob really
loved himself. He loved the easy way
at the moment.
For this is the story ! heard.
Once a week Bob's mother and ia.
ther came to dinner. Mary would
give the baby his evening bath and
feeding and get him all ready for bed
by 6-where the young man should
have quietly stayed.
But Bob and his mother would come
in shortly thereafter and wake the
baby by looking at him and cooling
over him. Then, of course. the young
man would want to be taken up to
play. The family would sit down to
serve the dinner and rush in at inter
walls to see if pin were sticking the
baby because of his howls.
After a short session, father Bob
would say. why don't you treat the
kid like a human being? I'd howl.
too, if you left me alone. I'll fix him. -
He would go and get the baby and
pile pillows in big chair by the table
and enthrone the baby and give him a
chicken bone to gnaw. Grandmother
would indulgently give him sugar
rag, which he soon learned to like.

About 10 o'clock the baby would fall
asleep with the sugar-rag In his
mouth. And grandmother and Bob
would think they were being kind 10
the baby.
But Mary knew there was trouble
ahead. The sugar rag always gave the
baby a stomachache. And the chicken
bone did him no good. And the break
ing into his discipline disarranged his
sleep and his 10 o'clock milk feeding
Bob and his mother were not being
kind to the baby. They were indulg-
ing themselves. They were deliber
ately hurting the baby. Every time
the baby got an upset stomach he was
set back just that much in his normal
growth and development.
A baby is not toy for the amuse
ment of his elders. He's a huma n
being with rights of his own. And one
of his fundamental rights is good

Everyday Law Cases
rs Husband Liable for Pre-
Marriage Debts OF Wife?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

The romance was on the rocks.
Married only a few months. and Mr..
and Mrs. Groves knew it could not
last. Mrs. Groves had been under the
impression that her cavalier was
rich man. but he wasn't. Mr.. Groves
had thought his darling was a sincere
and thrifty maid, but she wasn't.
Groves paid the current bills, but
revolted when 1t came to paying three
bills amounting to 5000 for clothes
purchased by his wife before they
were married. He advised the three
creditors that he was not liable for,
and was not going to pay, any debts
contracted by his wife before mar
riage.
The creditors brought suit against
him.
The court, deciding the case in favor
of Mr.. Groves, explained:
'It was formerly the law that, in
view Of the fact that a man was en-
titled to the entire property of his
wife, the husba nd was liable for her
pre- ma rriage debts. The wife had no
legal existence. She merged into the
legal being Of her husband, and he
took her with all her belongings and
debts.
This rule has by statute in almost
every State been either fully abro-
gated or modified to make the hus-
band liable for his wife's ante-nuptial
debts only to the extent of the value
Of the property which he obtains from
her upon their marriage"

the inside representing a stage. The
set may consist of dolls furniture
arranged to furnish a room. The in
side OF the box can be papered with
small figured Tor plainl wall paper. Or
1t can be made more realistic and have
drops made of paper to represent
scenery. The ingenuity of the hostess
can be expressed in whatever way she
chooses in getting up the stage set"
A piece of cardboard cut to form an
arch nearly the entire width and
height of the open front Of the box
gives a good impression of the pro-
scenium arch. 1t should be painted
or gifted. The little theater" gives
the theatrical atmosphere to the en-
tertalnment, rather than being ac-
tually used. The stage" is the
cleared space by the side of the table
holding the theater. Here the per-
tormance takes place and the audi
ehce comprises the actors.
Picking Plays and Actors.
On the table with the theater are
Two small boxes or baskets. The host
ess shakes each contained and then
draws from one basket a slip of pa
per and reads some foolish stunt to
be done, and from the other as many
silps as there are actors required to
do the trick. The women's names
are on white paper, the mems on some
contrasting tone. Where more than
one actor" is needed slips of differ
ent colors should be picked out at
random for the performance"
Performance Begins.
The performers are asked to step
up to the stage" and requested to
act the stunt. There should be as
many parts TO be taken as there are
guests. OF course not as many
stunts will be needed, as two or more
actors may take part in one. The
performance of the Fools Follies"
ends when all stunts are completed.
l am giving few stunts, leaving
others for the hostess to decide upon.
If any equipment is needed the host
ess should have it in readiness. For
instance, one stunt is to stand with
heels pressed against the Dashboard
OF a room and try to stoop over and
pick up a dollar bin without shifting
the position of the feet. The bill
Will be awarded the actor who sue
ceeds. As it is impossible. the bill
can be as large as the hostess chooses
to offer!
Old Fools Stunt.
Two players are asked to repeat al
ternately words correctly in the SEN
tence there's no fool like an old
fool without any hesitancy. 1t
should be repeated in full in this way
three times.
A Seat for Three.
What appears to be a cot or seat
stands against the wall of the
stage" over it is couch cover.
The hostess invites three persons,
whose names are drawn from the
container of slips. to come forward.
She seats the two ladies. one at each
end of the COUCH" and asks the man
to sit between them. Just as he is
sitting down she says (calling the
girls by name): "Oh. l wish you two
would come right here for a second"
The man seats himself as the two
rise, and down he goes as the space
between the two end seats Is vacant!
The space is concealed by the couch
cover weighted by books sufficiently
to prevent the cover sagging. There
should be large pillow on the floor
beneath the missing seat, so that the
fall is merely surprising, and not
harmful.

I have recently become interested
in the works of Shakespeare. / have
heard it said that Lord Francis Bacon
is considered to have written all Of
Shakespeare's plays for him. and that
Shakespeare did not actually write
any of the plays attributed to him.
What are the merits of this con-
troversy?
Answer-ProbabIy what you have
heard is an echo of the well known
controversy waged by the late Igna-
tins Donnelly and Judge Webb in
behalf of the Baeonian authorship of
the Shakespearean plays. / am not
the The contention that sif Ffasssis Bacon h m
Ito give him the proper fitiet was or
was not the author OF these plays.
But it is practically the unanimous
opinion of authoritative scholars that
the philosopher and legalist had moth
ing to do with the works of Shake
speare. An authority on the subject
says in answer to j. w. Wilkinshaw:
Your letter is challenge, by
proxy. l have not the time nor in
clination to take up the challenge;
and you will not, l hope, think 1t un.
reasonable of me to refuse what

"I have read Judge Webb, but I
confess l am not exhaustively ac-
qainted with the writing OF 'Baconi

marks:
"Q) All the Baconians whose writ.
ings I have read came to the study
Of Shakespeare with a case to prove.
Not one Of them, so far az / know,
has given evidence Of study of the
plays for their own sake They are
pleaders who enjoy a hobby. Their
view Of Shakespeare is about as COM
plete as Sergt. Buzfuz's view of Mr..
Pickwick.
"(2) All the Baconian treatises that
I have read make much Of the con-
trast between the so-called enormous
learning Of the plays and the small
opportunities Of the so.called yokel
Of Stratford.
This contrast, which has inspired
many a treatise, reveals a profound
misconception. No good scholar who
knows the plays Of Shakespeare could
possibly mistake him for a learned
man.

Perfect Feet.

Dear Miss Leeds: In Summer I go
swimming often and my friends say
look well In a bathing suit. as my fig
ure is good. l do not wear bathing
shoes, but am rather ashamed of the
shape of my feet. l have no corns or
other blemishes on my feet. but my
toes are unusually long and have a.
crooked. crowded appearance. The toe
next the big toe is the longest and
overlaps the second toe, being always
raised up and prominent. How can /
make my feet beautiful?
-sELF-CoNsCIoUs.
Answer--Many, many girls ruin the
shape of their feet by wearing tight,
pointed shoes, as you have done. The
narrow shoe pushes the toes together
so tightly that the one next the great
toe is forced up. This toe is normally
longer than the others, but 1t should
have room to lie in the same plane.
Special appliances are sold to correct
this deformity. / would advise you,
however, to have an examination by a
reliable chiropodist rather than to at
tempt home treatment without such
advice. Wear shoes that are broad
enough to allow your toes to wiggle.
Every night practice foot exercises
such as picking up marbles or pencils
with your toes, and massage them
well. 1t may be advisable for you to
wear a simple brace at night to keep
the long toe down In place. To have
bea autiful feet you must treat them
right-manicure them as carefully as
you do your. fingers, bathe, massage
and exercise them regularly.
