.@loSa BY NeA SERVICE INc..

A few hot evenings ago, sat on a friends front porch one eve- ming and learned what was going on in the world.
 For one thing discovered that all mothers who don't know the first thing about babies do not live in the slums.
 A pantomime was going on in the house next door to hers, that made nay blood boil.
 First of all, as twilight fell, the Limousine pulled around to- the front door and mother and father got in and drove away. Both were dressed for a party, so they would probably not be in until past mid night.
 Out in the side yard, the nurse was diverting the baby so she would not notice the exit of her parents, or so judged at the time, but afterward questioned it. Very likely the child did not know her mother we'll enough to miss her, after what my friend told me.
 She was hardly baby-prot- ably two and half or even three years old, but she was a tiny thing. Sheer Ignorance
 It grew quite dark and later a light appeared in the nursery next to us, on the second floor. Being hot the curtains were back and as we were on an elevation the scene within the pink and blue

silly idiot or something"
 The luncheon wore on. The food was delicious. The service was perfect. The servants were well-trained.
 But there was no spontaneity to it. When it was over, and Nancy's husband had gone away without giving her the package that made q bulge in one pocket, Sut wanted to make her excuses and leave, too. Some sinner sense told her that it wouldn't~ be loyal to Nancy to do so.
 She went into the small room, which Nancy called the powder room, to run a comb through her dark, wavy hair and remove an imaginary shine from her nose. Through the door she could sec the long, wide living room, with it's great chairs and couches, and the fire that leaped almost massively in the huge fireplace.
 She was turning to leave the room when Arnold Pages voice carried to her. distinctly.
 I'm not going to see you any more, Nancy. It isn't fair"
 ar lO Hly HuSDdllu, Sou mean?"/ Nancy asked. He doesn't care. It isn't love with him hardly and affection merely pride Of possession"
 For a woman who is supposed to know her way around tn: world, you'fe sadly lacking r intuition, Nancy" the man an swered.
 I'm not so sure. You saw z gleam in Clarence's eye, didn't you And mistook it for something tha poets write about and crooners sot about? It wasn't there. I used tt imagine it, too. There comes rtime in 8 mans life when he ha! to have someone whom he believe matters. That's all. I'm not trying to exonerate myself for .. ask ing you to luncheon" Now tn, husky voice laughed Q little. "Yo, needn't come again. It's been years since we had foolish romantic no. tions. Goodbye"
 She held out a slim white hand Sue, turning, saw the gesture. Sht looked away quickly.
 But not before she saw Arnold Page sweep the slender, green clad figure into his arms.

room was as clear as on stage.
 From our darkened theater we heard crying and then scolding. The voice of the white uniformed nurse sounded as though she were accusing someone of a murder.
 Then I saw her pick the small -night-gowned figure of her charge up and bang it down in bed fierce- and then she beat the baby with all her might.
 After the sobs ceased and the lights went out, there was much talking and laughing in4 the maids sitting room. The rest of the house was dark.
 You know what I said-wanted to interfere-would report it to the mother---was going to call the police on the phone.
 No Use to Interfere
 My friend and her husband held me down. Tt won't do any good. They have one nurse after another. Some are good and some are bad. 'Thies one isn't more than sixteen. shes been there two or three weeks. We did speak about an- other nurse a few months ago but Mrs X. didn't believe us, told us we were interfering and hasn't looked at us since."
 They soothed me by saying that in many ways this whatever-you- may-cal1- was good to the baby. She just had a vile temper and probably was hot and wanted to get downstairs and visit with the cook.
 No, I am not blaming the ignor- ant little nurse-girl who probably banged her own little sisters and brothers around at home. She thought that was the way it was done, very likely.
 am at white heat over the mother who knows so little about the person who takes care of her baby, or is too indifferent to care just so she can be released of the responsibility.
 A nurse is all right but she must be good nurse. And when I say "good"-I mean too many things to put down in this column.
