Then he brought out the booklets, which the women eagerly devoured and afterward bought. It was the same bunch that Warren had so rudely re fused. He was In his element now. "There-that's the type,; growled War ren. "They're New England school marms, all right. I'll bet on that Straight from Massachusetts, too. That's the sort of thing that makes you sick Of tourists. Look at them listening to that waiter's dope." .' - "Hush-sh, dear; they'll har you." 1 "Don't care If they did." Then as th,e women kept plying the waiter with questions and talking aloud about Johnson, Boswell and Goldsmith, Warren grew more restive.

Then.as the waiter disappeared, "There's , a lot In knowing how to order At this kind of a Joint They do the plain, things mighty well, but don't try ' He threw down the menu, which Helen Itook up-' and glanced over again with much Interest. Afterward she slipped It In her. pocket to send home. , In . few moments the waiter re turned; with a couple of booklets "His tory of . Te j Olde Cheshyre Cheese; jl shilling.". V "Lika" to look over those while you're waiting? And we've some interesting souvenirs of Dr. Johnson in the room above,, if you'll kindly step up when you're 'through.-" 1 "We eame here for food not for a lot of faked-up souvenirs," growled Warren, Iwavlng aside the booklets. "Keep those ,for your gaping tourists." ' The waiter hurriedly took the booklets ftway, and Warren turned to Helen with an angry: ' '."Tou' aee? That's what , I told you. ,TheyW, got a lot of booklets, post cards land sue- rubbish here that they palm off ion the fool American sightseer There there's- some of them now."

Fortunately the waiter came up now with their order, , and . Warren'a -attention was diverted and his wrath: some what appeased by the pigeon pie, steam ing hot and browned to a' turn: He dug ineto it with a fork and sniffed approvingly. - "That looks pretty 'good. But, by George.. they ought taglve you good food here if you put up wlth"- But Helen Interrupted any further tirade against the place by asking: "Dear, can't I have a smaller glass for my ale. i can't drink It - from this big .... ... . . . f, AM mug.

"That's a pigeon pie for you-the real thing. Can t get a decent -meat ile In New York. Don't know how to make 'em. Just try that crust," - One of the tnahdolm musicians now came through carrying his hat in which he jingled a few coins. The school teachers contributed some coppers and then he paused at Warren's elbow' ; Warren, glanced at the extended hat and then.Aip af the man, with a curt "What's that for,',' "The-the music, sir," he stammered. ' "The devil," roared Warren. "How much will you take-to .shut up and get out?" - But the man had discreetly dlsap peared. . ' Under the benign Influence of the pigeon pie and the second mug of ale. Warren gradually grew less enuriish. and by the t'me' the toasted cheese came on he was so genial that Helen ventured a tentative: .... : . - "Dear, while we're here we ought to see it all They might have some inter esting things upstairs." , 1 "Oh, all right, we'll go up If you want to. But you'll' only see a lot Of Junk Come on. then, if We're going. We want to beat those school marms to it couldn't stand for their commsnts." They climbed up the steep, dark stairs W the quaint old rooms above. There was a Dr. Johnson desk which Warren sniffed at as a fake. There was a copy of the first edition of Johnson's diction ary and some autographed letters which he inspected with more interest There was also a huge kettle In which they make the famous steak pie every Wednesday during the winter. But to Helen the rooms themselves ap pealed most She loved the curious win dows and low Irregular oeuings. "Not so bad," commented Warren as they came down. "That's the first edt tion of the dictionary all right-and it's worth a lot of money." - Encouraged by this Helen ventured to ask for one of the -booklets. "It's foolish. I know but I should like one to take home." ""Better have some post cards with It, be scoffed. . but the derision was good humored now. "Do the thing up right while you're at It" "Well dear, it wasn't such a bad place," declared Helen when they An ally came out on Fleet street t "Oh, It's-all right') tolerantly. ."Guess That pigeon pie was great!"" the food makes up for the tourist slush.

When pole. he says, It Is better to have the babies sleep alone. , By DR. 8. JOSEPHINE BAKER. Let your baby rest . Nothing seems harder to make a mother understand than this. So many of you think It Is your duty to amuse your babies by Jumping them up and down, or by trying to make them ilk before they are ready and to walk the floor with them whenever they cry. Let me tell you something. All these thing do your baby no good. They may make him very unhappy. And they use up a lot of your strength that yon need for better things- If your baby Is never taught to expect these things he will never cry for them, and he will be better off without them.; Constant move ment and jar are likely to hurt the baby nerves and digestion. Of course, It is great fun to play with the baby. I can't blame you for wanting to do It But any kind of exciting play Is likely to be bad for a very small baby. Don't Jounce jump him on your foot. Don't try to make him stand on his feet or walk. When his legs are strong enough to do that he will try for himself. If you force him to stand or walk too soon you are likely to strain his back and bend hi little legs.

Dear Betty, I love you so much that I deem r You sweeter by far than peaches and cream. 0 marry me, dearest; do marry me, Betty, , Or you'll ne'er,se p utile on;.,,,: V: Your Dish of Spaghetti The Manicure Lady ; It Is best for a young naby to keep him as quiet as possible. Baby should sleep eighteen out of twenty-four hours the first three months of hi life. Let him sleep alone, where there Is plenty of fresh air. Many mothers Hk to hold their babies In their arms whils tbeji sleep and have them sleep In their bed with them at night This Is not good either for the baby or the mother. Don't worry about a small baby get ting exercise. He will attend to that himself. Crying Is the little baby's nat ural exercise. It fills his lungs and ex ercises all the muscles of hi body. But of course, he should not cry all the time. Too much crying Is caused by pain, hun ger, discomfort and temper. All of these can be cured. If you think your own baby is crying too much see a doctor about it. It he Is not hungry, or thirsty and his clothing is comfortable he may be In pain. That's for the doctor to find out If his crying Is just bad temper leave him alone and he will get over It when he finds that yoii don't try to humor him. As he gets older he will exercise his limbs more and more. See that his cloth ing is loose and comfortable, or If It Is very hot weather take It oft Then lay him on the bed and he will exercise for himself. Of course, it Is necessary to pick up a baby occasionally. Let the doctor or nurse tell you about that ' Another mistake mothers make In try ing to amuse their babies and keep them quiet Is to give them something to put In their mouths. Never let a baby suck a rubber nipple unless he Is getting food from it at the proper feeding time. These nipples on strings, called comforters, that so many foolish mothers give to their babies are very bad for them. They fill the baby's stomach with wind. They pull his mouth out of shape. They make his teeth crooked. They spoil his good looks. Comforters are very likely to be dirty and so will make a baby sick. It Is only a selfish, and Ignorant or an unkind mother who will amuse her baby In ways that hurt.,hlm simply to save herself trouble. ! Key to the Sltuatlnn-Bee Advertising.
