F E B R U A R Y S. 1912 Paragraphs on the Baby There are all kinds of babies. There are good liabies and hail babies, squalling babies and smiling babies, pretty babies and homely babies, smart babies and dull babies, your own babies and your neighbors' babies. The good liabies, pretty Irbies, smiling tvabies ami smart babies are usually your own. The l»ad babies, squalling babies, homely babies and dull babies are always your neighbors’ . There is nothing quite so cute as the things your own Ivaby says, but the things your neighbor's baby says are really tiresome and quite commonplace. Without babies, fathers and mothers would lie out o f a job and Roosevelt would be shorn of one ot his pet hobbies. There is no real home where is unknown the patter ol little feet, the artless prattle of baby tongues and childhood’s happy jaugh that springs from innocent and care-tree hearts. As some author has said, “ children are the link between heaven and man,” and no home can be forever happy without these little cherubs— those whose lips lisp the cute little things that parents like to tell the neighbors. Babies are delicate little tendrils and easily bruised. with them gently and carefully. Deal Babies are the sunshine of life and no clouds should be allowed to come in and shut off the light. Childhood has no forebodings. The simple faith ol child hood would be worth much to many of maturer years. Children are human mirrors, in which are reflected the con ditions o f the home. Babies are told so much nonsense that the wonder is that they ever grow up to an intelligent citizenship. A person that is a fit associate for his childreu need have no fear o f hell. One who enjoys the companionship o f innocent children can not be wholly depraved nor irretrievably lost. Babies are little human morning glories that spring from the soil o f love, climb up the telliswork of affection, entwine them selves about the hearts of the parents and send out the little feelers, the little dingers, that reach from one heart to the other, drawing the two closer and closer together, twining and inter- twiug about them until they become one common mass and are indeed two hearts that beat as one.
