MAdgo Unexpectedly Relieved OF
Juniors Care BY MOther-inS
IAW'S Decision

There Is no tonic to ones courage
like the making of an irrevocable
decision after being beset by directly
opposing arguments concerning the
question. AS l walked from my own
room to Juniors ! felt not only my
Qualms fal! away from me, but
also my anger against Edith Fair
fax for the unwalranted impertl-
nence she had shown in our tele-
phone interview, and the amused
resentment which Dicky's outburst
had engendered in me.
AS opened the door of his room
where / had left Junior, a Joyous
autocrat. sitting up in bed and de-
manding alternate stories from Dis
adoring grandparents. / was met
with dramatic whispered Ssh III
from Dicky's mother, and l saw that
my small son whom l had expected
to coax into his afternoon nap was
already asleep, while my father and
my mother-in-law were watching
him. sitting uncomfortably upon the
edges of their chairs in patent fear
that any slightest movement upon
their part might wake the child.
My fathers absences from home
have prevented his close acQuaint-
anceship with Juniors habits, but
my mother-in law knows as well as
l do that when the boy once falls
asleep it would take a Lindbersh
reception to rouse him before his
own time Of waking. l knew, how
ever. that she was enjoying her
martyr complex, and l therefore
minced across the room with careful
obedience of her admonition and
whispered close to her ear:
Come out on the balcony We
can hear him If he stirs or call.
I'm sure he won't waken.''
She debated for a minute with the
air of deciding juniors future
career, then nodded an assent. Civ
ing her my hand l pulled her up
from her chair. My father with his
perfect old school courtesy had risen
when l entered, and now crossed
noiselessly 10 us, and giving my
mother-in-law his arm escorted her
TO the veranla, where ! followed
them after throwing Juniors win
dows wide open to admit the air
against which my mother-i law has
secret old fashioned prejudice
which she Is ashamed to voice, but
which she always humors when she
is in charge of her grandson.
For goodness sake, Margaret
