 "And now" said the baby'g mother, 'Ipthink I have attended to everything. won't Do gone more than . couple of hours. When he wakens Katie will have his din- ner ail ready if you will feed him. mother"
 "Run along and don't worry" said grandma.
 After a while there was . sound in the nursery, Jackie. a boy of aixtoon months( was awake. Grand ma went in and began to make great fuss.
 Awake! Had . nice seep? What a nice little boy to be 90 goodl And now danny would det him up and put him on his chair and wash his little face an hannies and then det him his nice, niee dinny." The baby regarded her with large serious eyes. He knew his grandma, but something was wrong. She wasn't generally ex- cited like this. It looked very much as though the tables were turned. he the solemn sage and grandma the fussy child. Poor lady-she was merely feeling an overpower- ing sense of responsibility and she was too anxious to do things right. Katie brought in the baby's din- ner on a tray. Carrots and spin- ach put through a sieve, a large cup of scalded milk, partly cooled, . spoonful of finely chopped chick en and a bit of junket. Grandma set baby on one of the little wooden chairs at his table and balanced herself on the other. And then started the process of feeding.
 T just know he won't eat" she worried. And I don't blame him. The very sight of this unappetiz- ing food turns one. The things they give babies these days are terrible. I think"
 And so to hide her nervousness, she began a running fire of coax ing and comment. The baby was hungry at first. He opened his mouth like a yawning cave, and spoonful after spoonful went in. He drank a little milk-and then stopped. Not g third of his dinner was finished.
 His grandma talked on and coax ed harder than ever. She was very much upset that he would not eat.
 Katie came in and said, ''I'll feed him, Mrs Jones. can always get him to eat"
 Grandma came into the sitting room all worn out. She was so nervous her hands were shaking as she wiped her glasses. Perhaps he'll eat for Katie," she said. "He never will for me-"
 There was complete silence from the nursery. Tn few minutes Katie came along the bungalow hall leading Jackie by the hand.
 "Did he eat any moreY' inquired Grandma, anxiously.
 "All gone," answered the stolid Katie. Every bite"
 I said nothing. She was hurt and disappointed. I could see. The whole trouble was that she was nervous Babies soon sense that. Also she just knew he would not eat. Babies sense that too.
 She had been away from babies too long to remember the things that had made her success as 8 mother "a generation before.

 lures which started new trends. One of the first to open new
 era in films was D. w. Griffith's
 ''The Birth of a Nation." This. Is the film which established the
 "epic" era of screen production. Cecil B. De Mile pioneered the screen into the religious field with
 "The Ten Commandments" and M-G-M started the great war pro- auctions with .'The Big Parade" Al Jolson in 'The Jazz Singer launched the era of the speaking screen. M-G-M's production ot
 "Grand Hotef' was the first film to present a cast in which all the players carried starring rank. Robert z. Leonard directed ''Strange Interlude." In the cast supporting Norma Shearer and Clark Gable are Alexander Kirk land. Ralph Morgan, Rober' | Young, May Robson, Maureer O'Sullivan, Henry B. Walthatl Mary Alden and Tad Alexander.
