I3aby Has Gone to School ,
S'/ie / DauoMtn of America.
The baby has gone to school ; ah mo I
What will the mother do ,
With never a call to button or pin ,
Or tie a little shoo )
How can she kcop herself busy all day ,
With the little "hindering thing" away ?
Another basket to fill with lunch ,
Another "good-by" to say ,
And the mother stands at the door to see
Her baby march away ;
And turns wltn a sigh that Is half relief ,
Aud half a something that is akin to grief.
She thinks of a possible future inoru ,
When the children oao by ono
Will go from their homo out into the world ,
To uattlo with Ufa alone.
And not oven the baby bo loft to cheer
The desslato homo ot that future year.
She picks up garments bore and there ,
Thrown down in careless haste ,
And trios to think how it would seem
If nothing were displaced.
If the house were always still as this
How coula she bear the loneliness !

them , and the memory cf the queen's dead
husband is honored in silence , which means
that everybody stands and says uud does
nothing. _ _
