NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XVII
IVOU must give up your job at
l. once, of course" Tom had
said masterfully after the first ex-
element was over and they had
come to a full realization of what
he news meant.
Gypsy was going to have baby!
Well. il was wonderful. Of course.
and they were glad-were proud
and happy they had to plan
for the future. They had to save.
to look ahead. This baby must have
everything he needed.
Gypsy was recovering from her
attack of influenza now. She had
been home definitely for two weeks,
and was sitting, a little pale and
shaky, but convalescent. in the big
chair Great Aunt Morell had sent
over from Morristown as soon as
she had heard the news. Great
Aunt Morell hadn't given them a
wedding present but when Gypsy's
mother had told her about the com.
ing child she had been moved to
send them this big, rich and rather
unwieldly affair upholstered in
green Gamask. 1t made all the

look pale and coloriess. Gypsy
snuggled into it. wrapped in her
rosy robe, and listened to Tom.

looked up quickly. You won't be
able TO do all that :"
Gypsy interrupted him with {
peal of laughter. Tommy. wha
do you think people used to dc
when they had babies? The pioneer
women, | mean? Why. they baked
and brewed and scrubbed, just as
usual. They didn't have dumb wait
ers and gas stoves and vacuum
cleaners and frozen foods . They
made clothes for the rest Of the
family and boiled patches of soar
and wove rugs in their spare
time She stopped, quite Out
OF breath.
81 KNOW" Tom said, quite I'm
impressed by her arguments
"But you're not pioneer woman
and you've got to be taken care
Of" He was frightened. The doc

and care. Well. she was going tc
