ABOUT BABY DAYS
N ELLY could remember a good

tould remember two whole years back,

Md,
But she was a child now. She was
oo longer a baby, Some foolish peo-
Me still called her a baby. Really,
they knew very little. Didn't they
gnow that a baby was a little bit of
t helpless creature, very lovable, very
sweet, but very helpless?
Didn't they know that a baby
pouldn’t walk, or talk, or even think?
At least, if a baby could think, a baby
couldn't tell what she was thinking
about,
And a baby couldn't remember well
at all. In fact, a baby had a very bad

memory. Melly knew that. Of course
she knew It.
She had been a baby herself. And
she simply couldn't remember what
she had thought about when she was
it baby. She often tried to think hard.
By thinking hard she felt she might
remember something. But no matter
how hard she thought, she couldn't re
member further back than when she
was one whole year old.
Her mother sald that most people
rouldn’t remember when they were a
year old, but Melly could do that. Not
much, of course,
She could remember only a few
things about that time. She had a
strange, dim remembrance of the night
she had been carried In her daddy's
arnis. It was a very, very, dark night,
She had been told since that they had
arrived in the town where they were
going to make their home and that
the piace they had gone to stay for
night was overcrowded and that
there had been no room for them.
She knew they had arrived on a
rain, as she had been told that. Dut

Dear Editor:
she didn't remember anything about
the train—nor did she remember a
single thing that had happened in all
of that first year of her life, She was
a little over a year of age when her
daddy had cdrried her from one hotel
to another. She remembered how
dark and strange everything had
seemed, and she remembered that her
mother and daddy bad talked to each
other and sometimes to her.
What they had said she had not un-
derstood, but she had not felt fright.
ened In her father's arms.
From the time she was a year old
until she was eighteen months old, she
remembered very little, Only she re-
membered kindly old waiters—she
could see them now as she thought
about them. And she remembered the
great excitement of creeping, Oh, how
fast she could creep. Dut just as soon
as she had a good start and was really
rushing delightedly ang her mother
had come hurrying after her and had
caught her up and ct wel her back to
her reom.
Her mother had a
very fast—Melly not keep
ahead of her mother, once her mother
had started after her,
Sometimes her daddy would come
and stop her when she was creeping.
Sometimeg the very oldest and the
very nicest waiter in the hotel chased
after her.
It seemed such a pity. They
afrald she would fall downstairs,
she was not afrald of anything.
single thing.
But best of all, during those months,
was the great big Newfoundland dog
with the long, soft, beautiful hair and
the most handsome face Melly bad
ever seen.
Her mother’s face was nice and so
was her daddy's, and there were cross
faces, too—faces that looked at her
and made her feel In the way and not
loved. Faces that belonged to people
who also had a cross way of speaking.
Melly didn't know just what was
the matter with those people then.
When she was three, though, and
thought abeur them she knew that
they were merely “fussy” who
were “made nervous” by children.
But the dog had the most handsome
face of all. She loved to put her head
close to his head. And he seemed to
love it, too. And he gave her rides—
all the rides she wanted—on his big,
beautiful back. Oh, she would never
forget that Not ns long ns she
lived. tle had made her have so many
happy times when shé was little,
Yes, she was little then, but even
then she was not a haby. Still, per
haps she could call those her haby
days. Now, though, she was three
years old and she was most certainly
a baby no longer. Only foolish people
calied her a baby now!

WHY WE REPEAT
VERY one knows what it is to be
sorry, to regret deing something,
wishing that we had done something
else,
Some people would c¢xplain this fact
by saying that it is conscience that is
troubling the person who is sorry and
regretful. And by conscience they
would mean some sort of inner voice
which condemns you for violating a
moral law and keeps telling you over
and over again that you have acted
wrongly, that you sbould not have
done so, that you will be punished for
your act. This makes one feel blue
and downhearted,
Whatever views we take of con.
science the fact remains that all nor
mal people feel a sense of guilt and
shame In doing what they know to be
wrong.
But it Is not In connection with
moral questions alone that we experi.
ence regret and are sorry. This hap-
pens every time we realize that we
have made a mistake of some sort—
injuring another person, making =
foolish choice, getting cheated, or feel.
ing cheap In some way, or In suffering
a loss when we might have done
better,
Some of us are inclined to overdo
this just ns some are inclined to not
feel regret strongly enough. ‘Those
who suffer from too sensitive a na.
ture In this respect are manifestly un.
fair to themselves,
As a man grows older he usually
gets more meliow and has a broader
view of things which may bring re.
gret concerning his earlier conduct.
One common regret is the lack of ap-
preciation we have for our parents
while they are alive. We do net
realize at the time that we are not
doing all we can to show our love and
appreciation, But after they are
taken from us and we cannot possibly
make amends we can think up any
number of nice things we might have
done for them,
