1t was Just then that Little Miss

Black Pussy. but somehow she knew
instantly that Black Pussy was an
enemy. Do you think that little
Chuck turned to run away? Not at

a little Chuck can. Then what do you

she did so. She ran right straight At

Your Baby and Mine
by MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

No matter If the baby is getting
but one meal day from the bottle 1t
is essential that that one bottle ana
nipple he kept scrupulously cIean.
That means far more than merely
washing with soap and water. as fail
ure to keep bottles and nipples clean
results in infection, serious diarrhea
or thrush, which Is an infection of the
mouth from dirty, nursing utensils.
That Is the warning. Now we VIII
tell YOU exactly how to care for the
bottles so that no such harm shall re-
suit.
There should be as many bottles
and nipples as there are feelings in
the day, One extra Is good insur-
ance in case of breakage. AS bottles
can be bought more cheaply by the
dozen, this is an economical thing 10
do. The bottles should be without
sharp corners or a neck which Is
difficult to wash.
The neck should be large, or else
slope gradually into the bottle and be
easy Of access with bottle brush.
which is always used for cleaning. The
nipples should be easily reversible; the
exact type Is not of as much concern
as the fact that they can be turned
either way and washed.
AS each bottle is emptied rinse and
I'll Immediately with cold water. Keep
nipples in jar until ready to wash.
Wash both bottles and nipples In hot
soap suds, rinse and boil for five min.
utes. Take out nipples and keep In
clean covered glass jar.
Bottles can be allowed to cool in
water and taken out when ready to
fill. or they may be turned upside
down on a clean towel until ready for
filling.
The utensil used for preparing
the milk formula should be used for
nothing else. They should not be ordi-
nary kitchen utensils which have sim.
ply been washed and scalded with the
rest Of the dishes. They should be
washed and boiled separately just as
are the bottles. This may seem like
lot of trouble for the busy mother
and lot Of unnecessary expense. But
bottle feeding is troublesome. The
preparation of the milk formula. the
care of the bottles and nipples cannot
he accomplished without time and
trouble unless one is prepared to suffer
the results of carelessness.

CHAPTER LIV.
The Way Things Happen.

You fell In love-" Tony spoke the
words very, very slowly. You fell
In love-"
Jill nodded, avoiding his eyes.
Not that 1t matters. You see
thought l was simply marvellous. l
know that sounds funny to you, be-
cause when you knew me first l was
stenographer. But I didn't intend
to remain stenographer. l was
| going to use men for rungs on my
ladder to success. Then fell in love
and realized that I was absolutely
false. Love is the only thing that
matters. It's really quite simple"
And then Tony knew!
He knew that he was In love with
this girl. That was why his sense of
values had changed. That was why
he had done so much thinking of late.
And now she was In love with some
one else and his case with her was
hopeless.
And are you very happy" he
asked lamely.
She raised her eyes then. "Oh, no.
The man I love doesn't love me. He
hasn't an idea of the way l feel"
At that Tony was silent. Now that
he realized his feelings toward her.
he couldn't understand a mans know.
ing her and not loving her II she
cared for him. And then because for
the first time In his life he was really
humble. he said suddenly:
DO you know that's exactly my
experience"
Jill's hands, clenched In the sleeves
Of her negligee, were icy.
"Yes?"
"Yes, ridiculous as 1t may sound,
