I Imagine there are few localities in the West End or in the North End that can boast more babies to the square yard than this section. Good luck to all of them:illThe Municipal building on the corner of Vine street and Dudley street. Rox-bury, is becoming quite famous because of the soctal affairs being conducted there by the members of the State Guard.Inasmuch as there has been three different contingents of men from various sections of the State on duty in that part of Roxbury, each conducting dances and parties to their home town friends, the building (which at night used to be deserted but for the janitor) id well known now.41 4* 4*Hooray!—it’s coming!What’A brand new, rip-snorter of a Stealthy Steve” serial!Yassir, the first instalment of this blood-chilling, heart-thrilling, nerve-racking, pale-face-producing story will positively be perpetrated by Newton Newkirk in the Boston Daily Post's All Sorts column next Friday morning, Nov. 7, 1919, A. D., rain or shine, snow or blow, fair or foul.The name of this serial? Oh, yes—of course—to be sure you naturally want to know the title. Well, here it Is: “CANNING THE KAIgBR.OR STEALTHY STEVE.THE HATED HUN HUNTER4* 41 4* 4*There—doesn't that make you shudder? Well, if the mere reading of the title gives you the goose-flesh, whaddye s’pose the first chapter of it is gonna do to you? People who are naturally timid and inclined to be nervous are urged not to follow this “Stealthy Steve” story to its logical conclusion. Those who persist in reading it after this solemn warning do so at their ownThis serial will reveal for the first t'me the mysterious whereabouts of Stealthy Steve, the Six-Eyed Sleuth, during the period of the World war. A lot of folks have intimated that Steve was a slacker and that he did nothing whatever to win the “Big Scrap” and make the world safe for democracy. Well, that just shows how little they know about it, and this forthcoming serial will relate in a truthful yet modest way the great detective's activities during the conflict. There are good reasons why Stealthy Steve has maintained a dignified silence up to now and these reasons will be disclosed.Possess yourselves in patience and then keep your eagle-eye open for the first chapter of this seething serial.Remember the title—“Canning theTHE SWEET REPEATERWhen Grace came downTo Boston townThe grocer she did euchre—She stood in line A second timeAnd got four pounds of seuchre Dorchester.

In a nutshell this lady emphatically states that the home is no place for babies or cooking.She would institute municipal nurseries where mothers could take their babies and leave them permanently to be nutured and trained. She w’ould also organize co-operative kitchens in every community, apart from the home, from which meals would be delivered three times daily at a nominal cost. By this means the housewife would be relieved of the cares of motherhood and would not have to bother her head about the menu.Personally, I deeply regret to say that I haven’t had much experience as a mother, nor yet as a cook, but it striker me there are valid objections to this lady’s ideas, and if there are no abjections I will make so bold as to callattention to a few cf them.What, for instance, would home be without a baby? We all want the baby in the home even during its ornamental stage. It is a real joy to see it sit on the floor and play with its little pink toes. It thrills us with pleasure to hear it gurgle and “Goo!'* We stand off in admiration as it rubs the cat the wrong way or pulls the pup’s tail, and what presents a more cunning spectacle than a baby who has been playing in the ashes?Of course, its periods of tecjth-cutti’ng and colic are not pleasant, 'but in spite of these shortcomings let us by all means keep the baby at home where it belongs. It doesn’t seem like giving the baby a 6quarfc deal to apprentice it out to a municipal nursery, and 1 don't believe there are many mothers who would want to do so. They would rather have it around the house, even at the risk of inadvertently stepping* on it on je in a while.Now about the cooking business—the absent - treatment, homeless - cookfnf?,* which this club-lady lecturer advocates. How’ would you like that brand of nourishment, husbands? How' would you like to have cold, clammy meais sent to the house three times per day from some culinary factory where eats” are cooked up in carload lots? How would you like to have your coffee-pot tilled from a tank of last week’s left-over grounds, hey? You wouldn’t call It “home,” would you, if your internal upholstery were shipped to you by slow messenger every time the poignant pangs of hunger began to gnaw at your vitals?I do not wish to be understood as going so far as to say that a man marries merely to acquire a cook. 1 don’t mean that by a large majority. A man who would take unto himself a wife with such reprehensible and pusilani-mous motive as that deserves to be sentenced to a boarding-house for life. A husband owes his wife constant love, frequent caresses, affections and confections. He ought to be able to think of her without thinking of his dinner, but on the other hand ^he owes it fo him to give him hot, home-brewed coffee and a rump-steak hammered into nsensibility by her own dainty hands.
