A young mother went upstairs one
renlng to be sure that her son was
safely sleeping. As she paused at
the door of the nursery she saw her
husband standing by the side of the
crib, gating earnestly at the child.
As she stood still for a moment,
touched by the sight, tears filled her
eyes, and she thought, "How dearly
Frederick loves that boy!" Imagine
the shock to her feelings when he sud
denly turned toward her and said:
"Amelia! It Is Incomprehensible to
me how they can get up such a crib
as this for three dollars and sixty
cents."
