DEYO nATCHIM-OR Ccpirrioht, lilt, iu Putllo Ltdotr Co. STAIIT THIS STORY TODAY RUTH glanced from one to the other of the two sirln. The little mother, pldnlr annoyed at the Interference, and Helen Townscnd, immaculate In her tai lored serge sutt and smart little hat, airing Jano advice on the bathing of babies. Ituth forced back a smile, which she knew would bo out of place, and waited to see what would happen. "I'll bathe her tonight," suggested Helen. "All right," agreed Jane. "You liwe tyr idea what a nuisance it is getting home from a long day nt the office and then doing the domestic stunt. I don't think I wai ever cut out for a mother." Helen had hurried out of the room and was now returning with a large basin of warm water. "Where we the towels?" she asked tersely. Jano fished out a clean towel from the pile which sho bad relegated to the .floor and handed it over. Then she sat "crosi -legged looking like n naughty llttlo girl herself and watched Helen handle little Joy. , "You know I've had a hard dav at the office myself." Helen observed, as she deftly sponged off the gurgling baby. "But you were cut out to be t! mother." defended Jnne. "You like it." Helen whitened. The careless words had wakened dear memories, hopes y which lay buried with Jim over in France, Ruth saw and understood', but she said nothing, and careless Jane went on speaking. "This Is the way I feel about chil dren. If they're your own you love them, but that doesn't mean that you enjoy doing things for them." Helen said nothing. She was dust- ing tatrtim powder all over the baby's soft body and slipping on a fresh little nightgown. When she finally held her up she exclaimed tenderly : "Now she's all ready for bed, the darling. Where shall I put her, Jane?" Jane scrambled to her feet and waved a hand deprroatingly toward the rum pled bed. "Put her in." "Yon don't mean to say she sleeps there?" "Why not?" "A baby ought to hae a place to sleep by itself." Jane laughed her deliiious laugh. "Why, Helen, you old maid, where do you think I'd get money for a crib? Joy is nearly two, aujnay; she's not a baby any longer." Ruth glanced toward the bed and wished herself that Joy needn't be put to bed there. It looked lumpy and the linen was unj thing but fresh. Some how it detracted from Jane, this dis regard for clcanlincs, this careless ness of herself and her surroundings. Ruth thought to herself that she would have made a place for' the baby to sleep if she had had to use a clothes basket. Helen polked over and drew down the rumpled slfeet, which pulled up under her hand. Then, with an impatient little ciclamatlon, she carried the baby back to the couch, laid her down gently and proceeded to take the covers off the bcdiand make it up all fresh. When 'Joj' was Anally put into bed Helen , breathed a sigh of relief. f&a,n8 Koke(' nt Jluth '""Shingly, j ,, Helen thinks I'm a-perfect moss," she Remarked. "Don't you, Helen?" i "I think you ought to clean up this '"room and keep it clean," Helen ic turned. "Really, Jane, jou arc in corrigible, you know. You oughtn't to , allow yourself to be so slovenly." 4 I'm going to reform now," Jajie re turned lightly. She did not seem to resent in the smallest degree Helen's criticism. It was part of her charm, ,thls readiness to agree with Helen, to (admit the truth of what she said. .,',"You wait and Eee," she went on, "jou won't know me after f gcti all finished. ;I'm going to take Saturday land Sunday this week and clean up this place. Theii I can keep things all in order.' "And how about sewing the hooks and eyes and snappers on your clothes?" 'said Helen, with a look at Jane's dirty smock that was held together 'by a safety pin on the side. "Those, too," scid Jane, her eyes following Helen's glance. "You wait and see," she said again, with a shake ,'of her head. " When Ruth and Helen finally rose 'o go Ruth was more fascinated than 'jever with Jane. r" "You must come and see me" she aid warmly. f "Oh, I'd love to, Mrs. Raymond," teaid Jane, with a warm flush and en thusiastic eyes. Her manner of accept 'ipg things, even cjritinsra, was so eager -lyj glad" that it made one anxious to do as much aa possible, thought Ruth as she said good-bye. Ont in the street, she turned to Helen quickly.

And to think of a girl like that taking care of baby! Monday Jane Hears N'ews From Washington, FLIES TWO MILES A MINUTE Pathfinder Pilot Sets Record From Buffalo to Mlneola ' VevfYorli, Aug. 23.
