THE :3
LAYETTE
FOR THEIR
JUNIOR
((g) by D. J. Walsh.)
T'VKGOY I—' CONNOR tapped her even
white teeth with the stubby pen
I cil and scowled at the sheet of
figures. If she saved rigorously
she might be able to do it. But it
would be penny deals, with sometimes
a dime or a quarter. Tim’s salary did
not admit of any more exponse. And
he must be fed properly. The way he
worked lie was entitled to good food
at least.
I'eggy was not yet the wonderful
manager she meant to be some time,
but she was learning—learning hard—
slow but sure. Leftovers and stale,
bread bothered her. And now eaine
this business of the layette.
Thirty-five dollars would buy a
beautiful layette. Of course, the more
you paid the lovelier were the articles.
She had set her heart on the $35 one.
To that end she pondered and saved
and sighed.
Before the $35 was gathered in the
little tin bank Tim Jr. arrived. When
he was three weeks old, a pink, puck¬
ered, squirming little bundle of hope
and promise, I’eggy said to her hus¬
band:
“Tim, darling, I’ve got the money
for Junior’s layette at last! Cousin
Alice sent me $10 and Aunt Maria
sent me $5. That just makes it. But
I can’t go downtown and buy the
things myself. You will have to do it,
Timmy dear."
Tim scratched bis russet-colored
head. lie looked down at his son, clad
immaculately, but rather shabbily, in
some things Cousin Alice had hastily
assembled and sent. Yes, he’d do any
lldng for Junior. And more than any¬
thing for Junior’s mother. lie stooped
and kissed Peggy's cheek and looked
love into her wide, brown eyes. Be¬
fore the day was over he would cer¬
tainly find time to buy the articles she
wanted. Peggy said lie could trust
Miss Gordon to advise him. Miss Gor¬
don was tlie saleswoman In charge of
the department store Peggy desig¬
nated.
Left alone, I’eggy was wonderfully
happy. She did the housework. She
planned dinner for Tim. Then Junior
—he had to be bathed and talcumed
and dressed and kissed and admired
and wondered at. All the time she
was thinking of what Tim was going
to bring home that night. The layette!
She could picture it—the darling tiny
things. It was just as well that
Junior had had to wait for his first
outfit, because she hadn’t learned yet
to sew so awfully well.
Tim usually bounded up the stairs,
although lie must lie tired after nil
tlie work lie had done. Tonight lie
was late and he did not bound. He
efttered a bit reluctantly. Under his
arm was a package.
"Where’s the box?” demanded Peggy.
“The—box?"
“Yes! The layette. It comes in a
box. Tim! What have you there?”
Tim put tlie large parcel down upon
the table, lie looked miserable. Ills
hands fumbled as lie removed the
wrapping. Out came a vase. An ugly
vase, it seemed to Peggy. Slie stared
at It unbelievingly.
“You’ll hate me,” Tim said. “But I
just felt I had to do it, Peg. I—well,
it was put up to me, sort of. Rufus
Page is selling out and quitting here,
lie is going back home. He did me a
good turn once—that time I had ty¬
phoid. You remember l told you about
It. Well, lie’s in hard luck. His wife’s
got to have an operation. I went in
their apartment and looked around.
It was full of queer things. All I saw
I'd bring home with me was this
vase—”
“How much did you pay for it?"
Peggy was tight lipped.
“Thirty-five dollars,” lie said.
Peggy went into the kitchen. She
leaned against a cupboard door, her
hand to her throat. Junior’s layette!
A wild Impulse came to her to break
the vase. After a few dreadful mo¬
ments she calmed down.
“Dinner's ready,” she called life¬
lessly.
She did not look at the vase or
speak of it again. It stood there, a
wretched reminder of Tim’s thought¬
less folly. Yes. it was that—thought¬
less folly. Rufus Page—she knew ail
about him. working a little, painting a
few pictures, marrying a girl with ex¬
pensive tastes.
Days passed. The vase sat there.
Peggy dusted round it. She would not
lay a finger to it. She hated it. But
she was determined that Tim should
have it to look at until never again
would lie make that kind of error.
Meanwhile, Junior was fairly bursting
out of his charity clothes.
She plunged. She got materials and
tried to make him a little frock. But
it was not as pretty as she could have
bought. She wept over tlie result.
One morning Tim wrapped up the
vase and sneaked off with it under his
arm. Peggy pretended not to see
That night he bounded up tlie stairs.
He burst in, radiant. Under bis arm
was a box. He thrust tlie box into
Peggy’s arms.
“There’s that thing you wanted—
that layette. It cost fifty dollars.
Look at it 1 See if you like it!"
Peggy, white with surprise and joy,
opened the box, examined the con¬
CLEVELAND COURIER
tents. A fifty-doliar layette! Every¬
thing handmade, pink ribbons, rose¬
buds, stitebery. Joy brought color to
her face, even brought tears to her
eyes.
“Oh, Tim! It is perfect. But how
did you do it, Tim? Tell me!”
“Rufus said that vase was a wed¬
ding present to his wife. I thought
thirty-five dollars was steep, but the
boy was strapped: he had to have
cash. Well, I took that vase down¬
town with me this morning. I made
up my mind I would get rid of it for
something, I was so darned sick of
seeing it standing around. I went into
Windsor’s. It was a real something
or-other. They gave me seventy-five
dollars for it. I got the layette. And
there’s twenty-five dollars for you to
do what you please with.”
Peggy was laughing, yet at the same
time wiping her eyes. With practical¬
ity she counted the precious bills Tim
■, gave her. Twenty-five dollars.
“This is going to start Junior’s edu¬
cation fund,” she said proudly. “He—
he’s going to have a great big chance
in life. For I—I want him to be as
great a man as his father!”
Grasshopper Mice Prey
on Injurious Insects
Grasshopper mice, unlike most of
our native rodents, are “good little
mice,” as the bedtime story-teller
would say. When first discovered in
1833 Iri North Dakota they were
dubbed “grasshopper” mice because of
their fondness for such insects.
Since then, however, much more has
been learned of the characteristics and
food habits of these little animals.
The biological survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture says
that they not only feed on grasshop¬
pers, but over their wide range in the
West they are a check on numerous
injurious insects and help to keep a
wholesome balance among many
groups of small-animal life, such, as
kangaroo rats, pocket mice, meadow
mice, cotton rats, ground squirrels,
and pocket gophers.
In general appearance grasshopper
mice resemble the white-footed mice,
hut are shorter and of heavier build.
They have short, tapering- tails and
an almost weasel-like expression.
Their voices might be likened to tlie
barking of a tiny terrier or to the
howling of a njiniature wolf, depend¬
ing on their mood.
As pets for children or as playthings
they have not proved a success, but
they will rkl kitchens, basements, cel¬
lars, or greentiouses of cockroaches
and other insect pests. Wheruso used
they are easily handled and colt trolled
merely by placing their open cages in
the room and allowing the mice to run
at large at night They will almost
invariably return to tj^iir cages by
morning.
Generally the grasshopper mice are
regarded as rather scarce, pufttly be¬
cause of the fact that they are hunt¬
ers and wanderers, are not colonial,
and do not follow definite runways.
Then, too, they are nocturnal in their
feeding habits. In favorable locali¬
ties, however, considerable numbers
have been found, Indicating that they
are more numerous than they some¬
times appear to be.
The Supreme Test
A member of the advertising force
was homeward bound, after a hard
day on tlie links. He lived in one of
those row houses so identical. with
each other that once you lose count
you must return to the corner and
start over again. He had lost count.
But It was late and he took a chance.
He entered the front door. Now for
the supreme test. Placing a heavy
handkerchief in double fold across
Ids eyes he stood in the center of tlie
living room and coughed. A step was
heard on the stairs. Then—ping!
Lights danced before tlie advertising
man’s eyes. He smiled happily. He
had guessed right. It was his own
home 1—Pathfinder Magazine.
Discretionary
His van had been badly smashed.
The insurance representative called
and said: “We are sending you a good
second-hand van tomorrow in ex¬
change, as the old one is not worth
repairing.”
The owner replied that he was not
wanting the other van just now-; he
had not recovered from the shock and
would rather have the money.
“Oh, no,” said the Insurance man.
“If you read the policy very carefully
you will find that we can supply you
with a van as good as you lost, or
pay the money at our discretion.”
“Well, ihedE” said the owner, “if
that is the case, cancel the policy on
my wife.”—London Answers.
Many Harmless Sharks
There are 250 recognized species of
shark, says Van Campon Heilner in
Field and Stream. The largest of
these, the basking shark and the whale
shark, which reach a length of from
30 to 50 feet, are sluggish creatures,
harmless as kittens. Tlie big sleeper
sharks of the Arctic seas are so heavy
and stupid they frequently are strand¬
ed on mud tints by the outgoing tides,
and have not enough energy to get
out of the way of a person who at'
tempts to kill them in the water.
Tribute to the Fox
Tlie fox is a being one cannot help
loving. For he is, like man’s servant
and friend the dog. highly intelligent,
and is to the good honest dog like
the picturesque and predatory gypsy
to the respectable member of the com¬
munity. He is a rascal, if you like,
but a handsome red rascal, with a
sharp, clever face and a bushy tail,
and good to meet in any green place
—From “The Book of a Naturalist,”
by W. II. Hudson.
DESERT CEREMONY
Death valley, Calif., ha« its Easter
sunrise service, commemorating the
time-honored pioneer dead of the
great valley. Hundreds of persons
gathered last year at Stove Pipe
wells where a huge cross was erected
on a sand dune around which the
ceremony was conducted. In the
congregation were old-time prospec¬
tors, miners and desert rats, many
of whom suffered the hardships
which were necessary for the open¬
ing of this vast territory to civiliza¬
tion.
Cente r
See the land, her Ea»ter keeping,
Rises as her Maker rose.
Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping,
Burst at last from winter snows.
Earth with Heaven above rejoices,
Fields and gardens hail the spring;
Shaughs and woodlands ring with
voices,
While the wild birds build and
sing.
—Charles Kingsley.
Burden of Cross Must
Be the Christian’s Lot
Calvary dramatized the age-long
conflict between love and force, be¬
tween freedom and oppression, be¬
tween the life of the spirit and its
material environment. Rome stood
for the satisfaction of man’s lusts
with the possession of things and the
exercise of the power such possession
conferred; Jesus stood for tlie satis¬
faction of man’s soul with the knowl¬
edge of God and the exercise of tlie
power which comes through right re¬
lationship with God. Rome could not
understand Him, so it crucified Him.
He was a disturber, and Rome dis¬
liked disturbers.
So far ns His diseiplgs appreciated
tlie significance of the drama they
were witnessing, they realized that to
adopt the ideal of Jesus meant con¬
flict with tile forces which Rome rep¬
resented. His way ran counter to the
world’s way, and, where tlie oppos¬
ing conceptions of life intersected, the
cross was made which every follower
of Him must bear.
HOLLYWOOD EASTER
Many thousands attend annual
Easter dawn services at Hollywood
bowl. The advent of dawn, marking
the start of the sunrise services, is
heralded by the blast of a trumpet.
English Easter Custom
An ancient custom, connected orig¬
inally with ceremonial religion, is the
kiss of peace given at Easter, Hunger
ford. in Wiltshire, England, being one
of tlie few places where it still lingers.
On Easter Monday two beadles march
through the town taking a kiss from
every woman. In tlie case of men, this
Easter offering or tax, is commuted
for a payment of one penny. When
the beadles have been around the par¬
ish any man is permitted to cmbracq
any girl lie meets.
Brings Message of Life
Ail nature seems to dance on Easter
day, in harmony with the ali-pervasive
spirit of joy. And why? Because it
tells of life. Because it dispels the
terror of the grave. Because it ban¬
ishes tlie chilling fear of, death. Be¬
cause on it a trumpet sounds through¬
out the universe the tidings of eternal
existence.
EASTER TIME
By Katherine Edelman
Everything asso¬
ciated with Easter
speaks of joy and
hope. Thera is a
radiance about the
day that fills every
heart with happi¬
ness. The new-born
beauty that pro¬
claims spring is
awakening seems to
re-echo the gladness and promise of
the festival and to speak in clear and
unmistakable language of glorious
resurrection, of triumph and victory
over death. In the soft winds that
are whispering abroad you can hear
this message, you can feel it in the
wonder of budding tree and flower,
and thrill to it in the joyous bird
songs that fill the woodland. All
speak of lasting beauty, of resurrec¬
tion, of immortality. The gloom and
the darkness of winter have departed;
the fields and trees that seemed dead
and lifeless have awakened into new
life and beauty; hope and joy seem
to be everywhere. The promise given
to man has come true. The One that
lay broken and bruised and cold has
come forth from the darkness of the
tomb, glorious, triumphant. He has
proved that there is no lasting death;
that the grave does not mean the
end; that a greater and a more beau¬
tiful existence awaits mankind. All
this the Easter day brings to us; a
happy, beautiful message that must
thrill every heart with its joy.

New and Better Life
Is Promise of Easter
The Easter season bids us mark a
change in the vegetable creation, ap¬
proximating to a coming back from
death to life, it warns us against be¬
ing misled by our physical senses
about what we call death.
Every springing plant and budding
leaf tells of a beginning of a new
life, which is actually a continuation
of a previous life.
There is a message of hope to mor¬
tal men, sometimes sorrowing, in the
spring resurrection, a declaration that
man is after all finer and better than
the grass which is now coming back
from an apparent dissolution.
Easter clenches that hope, with the
direct announcement of tlie fact that
a Man has come back with a distinct¬
ly renewed, better, life from death,
and now lives a life which is to be
everlasting, and that what man has
done men can and will do!
More than that, Easter announces.
It tells of a newer, fresher, better life
to be lived here, ever so much better
than that we Jived last year. It calls
us to a new beginning, a better de¬
termination of what life ought to be
to us.
WORLD’S EASTER
When Easter sing* across the world,
1 think that every sea
Reflects the blue that danc»0 upon
The waves of Galilee.
I think that every bit of sky
That holds a hint of shower
Is like the sky that grieved above
Gethsemane in flower!
When Easter sings across the world,
I like to think men build
New dreams in memory of One
Whose dreams were never killed.
I like to think that kinder words
To weary folk are said,
Because Christ toiled up Calvary,
With tired, down-bent head!
—Margaret E. Sangster in
Good Housekeeping.
Light of Easter
The Lord is risen! The Lord is
risen! The gloom and terror of the
sad days that preceded the darkened
sun, the quaking earth and the rend¬
ing of the veil of the Temple were
over. After the three days of silence,
the watching atigei and the empty
tomb proclaimed the wondrous truth,
“lie is risen!”
Thus, at each returning Easter
morning His grateful followers re¬
joice and give thanks and praise that
the Lord is risen! The Sun of Right¬
eousness, the Light of tlie World,
whose beams through the ages have
lighted the pathway, sought by weary
human hearts, seeking on earth, peace,
comfort, courage, love and the joy of
heaven.—Farm and Fireside.
SPIRIT OF EASTER
Following the six weeks’ period of
penitence, Christians throughout the
world rejoice on the anniversary of
the resurrection of Christ on Easter.
