DIARY OF A
NEW FATHER
BY ROBERT r. DICKSON.

Monday night.
When | came home tonight I said.
Has the baby been trying TO crawl
any more today?" and Joan said. mo,
he hasn't All he got for trying yester-
day was a sore nose when you pushed
him over on his face" / said, We'll.
I am not the only person on earth
who has a little accident now and
then. am L? was only trying to help
him." And Joan said, We'll, don't
bother trying any more. 1t is hard
enough for me to take care of him
when he is perfectly well and happy,
without having lot of bruises and
wounded feelings to fix up besides"
Well, 1 thought I would just play
with him then, so while Joan was get
ting dinner I spread blanket on the
floor and put him on it, and right
away he was up on his hands and
knees and rocking back and forth, try
ing to crawl, and said. There, he
wants to crawl and doesn't know how,
and you won't let me show him."
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-03-01

Joan said, You leave him alone. Ma
ture had this all worked out before
you could crawl yourself I said,
| well, it wouldn't hurt for me to
crawl so he can see how it's done,
would it," and Joan said, go ahead
with your cute little demonstration,
but don't try to make the baby per-
form the way you did yesterday"
said. We'll, you don't have to
stand the. e watching, do you? l never
did need a coach on the side lines
| while was crawling and, besides. I
thought you were getting dinner"
this for worlds"
Well, anyway, by that time the baby
was lying on his back again, sucking
his thumb turned him over and put
him up on his hands and knees so he
could watch me, and said. Now see
how Daddy crawls, dear. Put out one
hand like this and then one knee, like
this" and I was showing him how to
do it. and he giggled at me and Joan
laughed one of those laughs of hers
Joan said. Il can see that he doesn't
need any help with his sense of humor,
anyway" Well, / did not say any
thing, and I went on and showed the
baby how to follow up with the other
time he did not laugh, and guess he
decided to watch me and learn some-
thing, but Joan laughed another one
of those laughs, anyway.
I said, Now let's do 1t over again.
Junior" and / started off with the
first hand and the first knee, and he
was still watching me and I kept on
crawling, and I was looking back to
see If he was getting the idea, and
bumped my head a dirty one on the
radiator. and Joan had the best laugh
she had had yet. Well, I said word.
just an ordinary one, and Joan said,
You ought to be ashamed of your
self-in front of the baby" said,
How does he know what I am talk
ing about?" And Joan said, His poor
little subconscious mind takes in
everything you say. You will make a
little rowdy out of him, talking that
way. and it Is horribly vulgar, any
way"
Well. subconscious is over my head.
SO just started playing with the baby
again, and 1 was shaking his rattle
for him and he was laughing and Joan
was standing there watching, and all
of a sudden she ran out to the kitchen,
and i heard her say a word and grab
something off the stove, and then she
said another word, and then she said
the first one over again, and the pota-
toes for dinner had burned and ruined
our third to the last pam
put my fingers in the baby's ears,
and Joan came in and she said, Those
darn potatoes burned" and then she
said. What on earth do you think you
are doing to the baby?" and I said,
II am protecting his poor little sub
conscious. Shame on you, you vulgar
thing" and Joan said she could not
understand where l ever got the idea
1 was funny.

soft. light, fiat fur that appears in
various colors on many of the less
expensive cloth coats for spring.
Fox scarfs have been brought for
ward again as a spring fashion and
their fate does not entirely rest with
the success Of the two-piece jacket and
skirt suit.
When American women follow the
lead of the French women and adopt
the little tailored suit as their street
costume for spring they naturally
choose a fur scarf as an accessory II
they can afford a really good one.
Most women would rather choose a
silk scarf Of some description than
a really cheap fox" scarf. They
may be perfectly content to wear
cheaper peltries to trim coats or
frocks. but when they wear a separ-
ate scarf they want one that is quite
obviously fox and not some inge-
niously contrived rabbit.

Marble was found job.
Then Archie Dunlap, also of Mar
tinsburg, showed up and disrupted
what ought to have been happy
ending. He announced that the
wife who accompanied Marble was
not Marbles wife, but Dunlap's,
and that no more than two of the
children rightfully bore the name
of MARBLE.
Marble and the wife were put in
Jail on an ugly charge. The chill
dren went to the Childrens Aid So
ciety. 1t all looked like an unhappy
city ending, where codes Of morals
are strict and the wrongdoer pays
heavily.
Courts Stretch Code
The courts, however, heard the
whole story and stretched the code.
The wife was. handed over to her
rightful husband, as well as one Of
the children, which he identified as
his. The clergyman and the Lions
Club dug into their pockets once
more. Dunlap and Mrs. Dunlap
were bought tickets home. Marble
was bought SIS worth of gasoline.

clergyman and several Bronx lions
slightly scrambled in their ideas
about mountain folk.

NEW YORW. Oct. 21.-It's a
tradition on Broadway that the
mountain folk of West Virginia are
a simple, upright folk content with
one wife, about seventeen children
and a few hounds, and that they
know little of the wicked complex
ties of city morals.
Mr.. James A. Marble, of Martins
r. burg, was on his way back to the
mountains today leaving several New
Workers convinced that the noun

Marble wheezed into town lit

and three children.
Plenty of Sympathy
A kind-hearted policeman who
found them .huddled in the fivver
on a Bronx street, disconsolately
munching dry rolls, asked how
come.
Marble explained that he was a
farm hand, that dry rolls were the
best he could afford on the $1.25
day he had earned in West
Virginia, and that he had come to
the city to make an honest living.
The policeman, who makes the
high cost of city living look dizzy
on the princely income OF $4.49 a
day, was filled with sympathy. So
was a Bronx clergyman to whom the
plight of the Marbles was put, as
well as the Bronx Lions Club.

Into it Little Miss Curiosity had car
ried lot of papers which she had
torn up. She dearly loved to tear up
papers: and when they were torn
up they made very nice bed. So,
all in all, Little Miss Curiosity was
very happy. I suppose she was a
sort of prisoner. but she didn't
know it. She no longer ran when
Farmer Browns Boy came near.
She had learned not to be afraid of
these great two-legged creatures. In
fact, she was very fond of Farmer
Brown, Farmer Browns Boy and
Mother Brown. She liked to be pick
ed up and petted. She was just as
full Of curiosity as ever. Whenever
a door was left open she would slip
through and go exploring. Many a
hunt did Farmer Browns Boy have
when she had slipped away in this
manner
At last one day Little Miss Curl
osity was not 10 be found. Farmer
Browns Boy had come in from his
work and, as usual, went to look
for her behind the stove. He look

looked all over the kitchen. hit

upstairs and hunted. He hunted
high and he hunted low; every
where that she could go. There was
no Little Miss Curiosity, Then Moth

little Chuck had disappeared
"She must have gotten OUT said
Farmer Browns Boy sorrowfully.
"She must have gotten out and run
away"
Il don't see how she could have"
answered Mother Brown. for I am
sure that door wasn't left open
once"
Nevertheless. Farmer Browns
Boy went outside and hunted all
around the dcoryard and looked in
every place he could think of. Not
trace of Little Miss Curiosity did
he find. He really felt quite bad
about it. So did Mother Brown. II

Little Miss Curiosity, the young
Chuck whom Farmer Browns Boy
had taken home. was quite satisfied.
She liked tho kitchen. She liked
Mother Brown. The only disturbing
thing there was Black Pussy the
Cat. and the young Chuck didn't
worry much about Black Pussy. She
had given Black Pussy a bad scare
and now Black Pussy was most re-
spectful. She kept her distance.
II wonder IL this is the Great
World that Mother used to tell
about" said Little Miss Curiosity to
herself. Mother used to say that
some day I would go out into the
Great World and there ! would have
to get my own living. I don't have
to get IT. here; it is brought to me-"
This was true, of course. Farmer
Browns Boy used to bring in let
luce and radish tops and beet tops
and carrot tops and pieces of car
rot and clover-all of them goodies
which healthy Chuck dearly loves.
But this wasn't all. Goodness. no!
There were nolasses cookies. When
ever Little Miss Curiosity wanted a
cookie all she had to do was to sit
up. II she would sit up and squeal
Mother Brown would drop every
thing and go get her cookie. Moth
or Browns cookies were famous. No
wonder that little Chuck loved
them. Mother Brown was said to
make the finest cookies in all the
country round. So Little Miss Curl
osity was very happy in her new
home.
