RY DEITY GALLEY

"Irvie," Mrs Tibble ventured persuasively, tits time for your nice nap"
 Little Irving looked up without any show of interest, and continued to pound his new blackboard with a toy telephone.
 "Irvie, dear" Mrs Tibble tried other tactics, "I wouldn't hit the blackboard if I were you. You'll break it. Draw some pictures on it. Pretend you're an artist"
 Don't wanna be an artist. Rather be a bricklayer." And fired with this new ambition he banged away fiercely.
 Mrs Tibble glanced alphabetically at her husband, who was drowsinS behind the Sunday papers. So far he had made no comment about the noise, but she had a feeling that one was forthcoming, and wished to prevent it. Little Irving's s grandmother sat in low rocker. knitting a small boys sweater. On her face was the placid expression of one whose only grandchild could do no wrong.
 Mrs Tibble stirred uneasily as LH6 DIdChUOdIu CAdChCu uhuCA eA barrage of blows.
 Dearest" she coaxed, "mother wishes that she could take lovely, long nap" :.
 "Then let mother take my nap" he said generously.
 Mrs Tibble prided herself-at times to her own contrition - on being a modem mother.
 That child certainly has a will of his own," his grandmother often said proudly. Now she beamed on him as he finished battering the blackboard with squeals of delight.
 MT Tibble rustled the papers impatiently. At length he threw them on the floor and kicked them aside.
 Are you going to let him get away with that??" he demanded.
 Then grandmother interposeG: "It's his own blackboard. I gave it to him. He can do as he pleases with it.''
 MT Tibble spread his hands help lessly. "All right. Go ahead, both of you. Take up for him. Spoil him to death. Why, if he asked you to get up and bake him 8 dish of tapioca at midnight you'd do it.
 "You don't bake tapioca," grand mother corrected mildly. That was enough to start little Irving on a new track.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-22
"He banged away fierceIy."

"But, Henry" wheeled Mrs Tib- ble, it would be good for him. It's not as though it were something that he shouldn't have. It's whole some and-and nutritious. Now, if it were something that would hurt him-like lobster"
 'I want a lobster, lobster, lob ster," Irving decided, hopping about excitedly. -----
 "I've had enought of this. What that young man needs is Q little discipline. He's going to cut out this foolishness and go into the bedroom with me. If you canE handle him, I can. I'll see that he takes his nap" Without giving his wife time to protest, MT Tibbis picked little Irving up and carried him screeching into the bedroom.
 Grandmother was speeches. with amazement. When she found her voice she murmured, "Grandmas poor little boy" and went to the telephone to order tapioca.
 ''Poor Henry" said Mrs Tibble. recalling similar experiences of her own. In series of sounds the drama in the bedroom was con- veyed to her. There was the scamp CT of little feet across the floor, and the scuffle of heavy feet in pursuit. There were intermittent grunts and suueals; an occasional whimperf and frequently a deep sigh. The creaking of springs told Mrs Tlbble that Irving was on the bed anu that the spread would shortly lose its freshly laundered appearance. Oh, well!
 The deep sighs came more fre- quently, exhaustion in every nole of them. Then whimper became d vail. Then above the vail rose weary, baritone voice rumbling off key:
 Daddy's gone hunting and inn ediately following it childish treble, supplying the, ap- nropriate sound effects, suggested bv the word hunting: Fang, bang, bang" N
 A caustic note came into the bari tone, as it improvised:
 "Daddy's gone a-hunting,
 To get a little rabbit skin
 To stifle baby's yelling i'm"
 These mangled noises increased in volume to point where listeners head must throb Gas Mrs Tibble's did); then it died grad ually down. Then at last - at long last = it ceased altogether: Mrs Tibble sighed deep sigh or relief.
 well" she said proudly, after all 1t takes a man to maintain dis cipline."
 Grandmother nodded, unable to disagree, yet not altogether pleased with the whole affair.
 ANYWAY" went on Mrs Tlbbie, you've got to give Henry credit. When he starts out to do thing, it's just as good as done.'
 The door opened softly. A tousled head and a small, triumphant face peered out.
 "S'sh;" whispered little Irving. Don't wake Daddy I finally got him to sleep!"
