The Baby and Trouble Time
By WIXIPRED BLACK.
his
k J
Deaf-Miss Black:
Can a jnan love a baby when he gets
angry .because his wife objects to
playing with It and
getting it excited
(as it ts baby's bed
time) when he gets
home?- '
Also, does he love
his wffe when he
would "rather- ' the
baby would ' go to
any one but her?
He could get
horha' earlier,' if he'
wanted to, ' play
with the baby be-'
fore she ' got so
tired, ' and it makes
the' mother cross.
as it takes her all the evening to get
the baby asleep and she has no chance
to do anything else.
Worcester, Mass. THE MOTHER.
Well, well, well what a tempest in
a teapot!' .
So daddie wants to play with the baby,'
and mother thinks he ought not to thinW
of such ft thing except at certain times
and nobobdy loves nobody, and nothing
is right In the little ' Worcester flat.
Poor," little,' worried; conscientious, tired
out -'mother. I'd' like to Set hold of that'
big, stupid, bothersome husband of yours
and- box his ears.' And after I had boxed
them well I'd sit down and have a real
heart-'to heart talk with him.
I'd say, "Look here, brother, you love
that baby of yours: Don't you love him
so hard that you simply can't let him
alone, no matter what time of night ft is
when- you see him; and you don't see
why the baby's mother is such a crank
about, your playing with your own child.
"Well, you run down the block and
stop in at- the very first doctor's office
and ask htm about it.
"He'll tell you, and he'll tell you very
quickly, too. , -
"If he's the right, sort of doctor he'll
give you a few facts about babies and
what not to do with them that will make
you dizzy. And the first thing he'll tell
yoif is that a baby isn't a toy to amuse
you;' it is a human being with a set of
nerves and a brain, and that will need
thai set of nerves and a brain when he
grows up; and he won't have much of
any icft if you're going to play peek-a-boo
and ketchy-ketchy with , him when
ever you want to amuse yourself."
Laugh! Of course, the baby laughs.
It would laugh if you should start in
,ahd .tck.le i't to death-die laughing at
that-bufj what of. it? Can't you tell the
difference between a real laugh of real
fun and a poor, frightened, nervous, hys
terical giggle? Well, It's time , you
learned.
Stop making a plaything of him and
help make a man of him a man you'll
'be proud of some glorious day.
And another thing, that little wife you
like to tease when you toss the baby in
the air and laugh to see him gasp, if you
had the headache she's had ever since he
was born you'd be In bed right now
with; a doctor on one side and a trained
nurse', on the other, thinking .you were
going;;" to die before sundown.
Stand It? Of course, she stands it.
Shi's'." woman. She has to stand It; but
how- are you helping her?
Lnve-you!'1' Of course, she does, just
as milch as you love her.
Of course you have, poor little, half
sick, worried thing. You aren't a bit
like the ,glrl he fell in love with at
the dance.
What was It you wore blue, with a,
silver band In your hair? - And the
music what was that waltz? How he
could two-step, too. "Oh, You Great
Big Beautiful Doll;" you sang the fool
ish song together as you danced, and
how happy you were. How the world
sang with you, the .. whole glorious,
beautiful, light-hearted world.
And he- walked home on air that
night because you smiled when he
asked you for the, rose you wore; and
you gave it to,, him. Why, it wasn't
two years ago. He's the same man he
was then, and you are the same woman,
only things have happened.' You've been
very ill, and he's been worried about
you,' and things haven't run as smoothly
at home as they might since baby came.
Why, you .poor things, there's nothing
really wrong; not a thing in the world.
You are Just passing through Trouble
Time, that's, all. Don't let the bigwaves
swallow you and your happiness.
"Oh, You Great Big Beautiful Doll!"
Silly song, ' wasn't it, the two-step you
used 'to dance to? Forget It; you're
singing' a - better song .. now, a-' sweeter
oh, 'Orie.more worth the sipging. .Why
don't, " you ' stop i. thy" , fooSieh . nonsense,
the - chlldlsh i spat's, and ' sing it as it
should be sung the : great, splendid,
melodious, noble song of life together?

The Manicure Lady
"I see that Miss Helen Gould has came
out strong in favor of the old maids,"
said the Manicure Lady. "She. thinks
that nobody ought for to attack them,
because so many of them are noble
women. She seid in a article she wrote
that if she had found a suitable husband
she would never have had a chance to
spend so much of her money as wisely
as she has. There may be a good deal
In that George.
"That sounds as ifshe- might have had
to stake her husband every week or so,
if she found a suitable one," said the
Head Barber. "I don't see how she could
blame anybody but herself if she had
married a man that couldn't support the
two of them, the way some folks in her
set happened to do. Any phi that lets
a man marry her for her money, giving
nothing back except a shopworn crown or
coat of arms, oughtn't to squeal. If she
had found a suitable hsuband in the shape
of some good, solid American business
man like her brother, George, I guess she
would have had as much money and as
much time to devote to charity as slie
has. Not that she ain't a grand woman.
I know all about all the swell gifts she
has made. I guess everybody in America
is proud that she is an American girl,
married or not."
"That's what brother Wilfred was say
ing up' to the house last night." said
the Manicure Lady. "Wilfred thinks th
world of her since the lime he wrote
a poem about one of h-5r big gifts and
mailed it to her. I don't remember much
of It. except the finlsn. 'Oh, thou great

The Making of a Pretty Girl
The Athletic Miss
By MARGARET HCBBARO AYKR.
"My lady Is an athletic girl," said the
proud mother of 1-year-old Nannette Tar
box Beals. To show what she could do
the baby swung valiantly, supporting her
own weight while holding to her mother's
fingers.
The daughter of this well known busi
ness woman. Mrs. Jessie Tarbox Beals,
began her athletic development when she
was about 2 months old, for there Is no
limit for the athletic girl.
You; can begin whenever you want to,
and you can go on as long as you like,
or take up athletics when you are well
advanced in middle life. The grandmother
of some friends of mine still goes swim
ming at SO, and she attributed her superb
health to the practice of outdoor exercise.
Every girl should have some sort of
outdoor fad something that combines ex
ercise and amusement-some sort of ath
letics. When you talk of athletics many a girl
thinks at once of golf or tennis, polo,
riding or some sport which necessitates
an expendtlure of money etlher for habits
or costumes or for the implements used.
Riding, for Instance, Is quite beyond the
pale for those of moderate Income who
live in the city, and the girl who lives
Inland can't enjoy the delights of swim
ming as can the girl who Is In New York,
for Instance, or in the lake cities.
It Is this Idea of expense that keeps
so many girls from Joining pome ath
letic club or league. But there are
always ways of avoiding the more ex
pensive forms of eport, just as there
is always time for the girl who wants
to take it to develop herself physically
and to gain health and good spirits in
regular out-of-dooK exercise.
If I had my way, the girls who
want to b pretty, and of course that
includes all girls, chould belong to
email groups or clubs, who would pur
sue the culture of beauty out of doors
tn some form of athletics. The girl
with the athletic fad has no time for
foolish wool gathering, and if she Is
bent on making herself physically
strong and well, she will not be the
one to dress In some of the ridiculous
fashions of the " day or to paint and
powder her face an4 make herself un
pleasantly conspicuous in other ways.
The girl who wants to go in for the
simplest, as welt as the most healthful,
form of athletics can Join a walking
club or get one up consisting of friends
and. if possible, one older person, as
chaperon and Instructor.
These walking clubs are quite popular
in England, and there Is no cost at
tached to such an organisation. The
chaperon or Instructor should be a per
son of moderate leisure who has time to
study up the points of historic interest
In the neighborhood. No matter how new
the city or town, there is always some
place not far away where some interest
ing event in history occurred. Get books
on the subject at the library.
The walks- should be taken to these
points of Interest and the instructor
should know enough to call the- attention
of the members of the olub to bad car-
) r;age, awkward n other defects.

One .'hundred and .eeventy-nlne years
ago today-August 9, 173S the) governing
body of Georgia, by a unanimous" vote,
prohibited the use of rum In the province.
Thus It will be
seen that this na

authorities antedates

Maine was an unor
ganized wilderness,
untenanted save by the Indian and the
bull moose, the Georgia temperance
decree was on Its way across the Atlantic
for signature by the king and the com
mons. The royal signature was obtained, and
for ten years the Georgians had to get
along without rum. It may be well to
state In this connection that nearly all
of the Georgians of that time were Ger
mans and Scotchmen,
As long ago' as the time of Taoltus
we read of the1 "thirst" of the Teutons,
and from time immemorial the men of the
heather have been accredited with being
very fond of their "toddy." But the
trustvs of the crown meant business,
and for a decade Georgia' was "dry."
But In those days, as Is the case in our
own time, there were powerful "Infer
