NOVENA IN HONOR OF ST.
THERESE AT LORETTO CARMEL
The monthly novena in honor of St.
Therese, which are held at the Carmel
of Loretto, Pa., have been a source of
spiritual and temporal assistance to
the many friends who have had re-
course to the little saint of Carmel,
and who each month present their
petitions at her Shrine. These Novenas
begin on the 22nd day of the month
and close on the 30th. All petitions re-
ceive the immediate attention of the
Carmelite nuns, who fervently suppli-
cate their little Saint to intercede for
their good benefactors. The next No-
vena will open on Saturday, April 22,
Address all petitions to the Reverend
Mother Directress.

“WELL, THAT'S
ONE ON ME!”
1 was kidding George, my room-
mate, about calling his girl
friend every Sunday by Long
Distance.
“It must be true love”, says
I, “if you spend all that money
just to talk to her.”
“Bill,” says he, “I’m afraid
you're not up on things. I can
call a hundred miles for only
35 cents on Sunday. Believe me,
it’s worth it. And besides . , .”
But that’s all I heard. By that
time I was half way to the near-
est telephone.
Now iw
George has the right idea. The
cost of Long Distance is prob-
ably lower than you think. And
rates are especially low every
night after seven and all day
Sunday. For example—a three-
minute station-to-station call to
someone 444 air-line miles away
for only one dollar!

‘“’T HERE'S nothing the matter
with your aunt, Miss Cane,”
said the docter, looking covetously
at her pocketbook for the $25 his ex-
pert opinion commanded, ‘but she
lacks a definite interest in life."
“l suspected it, Dr. Jones,”
sighed the girl, “but since dear Jus-
tin passed out—"'
The great man looked at his
watch. He dreaded a history.
“Yes,” went on the girl rising,
and going toward the door where a
predatory secretary would despoil
her of her poor little yellow bills,
“Justin had won so many prizes
and he really was a wonderful dog
for 18 years old.”
The doctor bowed and probably
made a mental note of a “pet”
psychosis.
‘‘ ’Snothing like a pooch, after
all’s said and done, to occupy the
mind,” said the predatory secretary
disposing of the bills. Sally took |
the elevator and descended to the
dazzling avenue. It was good to be
in the sunshine after the “creepy’’
atmosphere of a doctor's waiting-
room. She glanced at her watch
and saw it was already past lunch-
time. She pushed her way through
a crowd of giggling office help and
demanded soup and a salad. Her
clear-cut profile and healthy skin
were reflected from the mirror-lined
room. Luckily she had a table for
herself,
“I must get a pet for dear old
aunt,” she thought, “but how?”
“Excuse me, I'm afraid this is
the only seat. D’you mind if I take
it?” Such a nice voice—a man’s
and such incorrigibly merry eyes
despite the slightly formal manner |
and unsmiling lips.
“Why, of course,” Sally stam-
mered, pulling her purse and gloves
nearer, and moving her chair to
make room for this nice person to
sit down.
“I'm a stranger in this city,”
said the man, ‘““and I find all the
places so crowded, but one must
eat.”
“I advise the vegetable soup. It’s
rather nice.”
There was a slight scuffling noise
which seemed to come from be- |
neath the table.
“Please excuse my adopted son,”
said the man, “he’s a particularly
nice monkey. You don’t by any
chance hate monkeys, do you?”
Sally laughed. “Indeed no. I've
just come from the office of a pecu-
liarly disagreeable doctor, and he
sneered when I told him my aunt's
dog had died.” |
“Just like doctors. I have no use
for them, anyway.”’
‘Neither have I for myself. But
I live with a dear old aunt and she |
reads patent-medicine advertise. |
ments and nothing would do but she
must consult this old man. He ad- |
vised her that she needed an inter-
est in life.”
“Shouldn’t wonder if that’s what
ails most folks,” said the stranger.
“I'm awfully worried about Jack.
You see, I'm an engineer. I have
to get off tomorrow for South Amer-
ica. I can’t possibly take the little
fellow and I'm afraid it'll break his
heart if he has no one to care for
him.”
“I wonder—"’ Then Sally blushed
scarlet. What would her aged aunt |
think if she discovered her confiding |
in a strange and personable young
man?
“My name is George Smith,” said |
the stranger, “and I believe we are |
wondering the same thing. That is,
if Jack might not be the very medi-
cine your aunt needs. Wasn't that |
what you were thinking?’
“It was,” said Sally, ““if you
wouldn’t mind, if you had the time
—I'm sure it’s awfully queer, but
you see I want aunt to live to be a
hundred (she’s promised to try) and
I really think Jack might help her
to do it. We live out quite a dis-
tance but there’s a bus that goes |
right by the street.” |
“I'm afraid we must take a taxi, |

|
|
for my time isn’t unlimited. You
won’t mind as I'm going to intro-
duce your aunt’s new doctor, will |
you?”
Sally shook her head.
Mrs. Maude was a trifle flustered

ed accidents, due to her choice of |
disastrous reading. When she saw |
the box with holes, she began to cry,
softly. It recalled the lamented Jus-
tin. The introductions being effect.
ed, she appeared to take a fancy to
young George Smith. The mon-
key, which was a marmoset, looked
wistfully from his master to the old
lady and then, with the uncanny |
love of animals, jumped into her
lap and snuggled a pretty little face
into the curve of her arm,
“I guess you're going to give Jack
a home, aren’t you, Mrs. Maude?”
he said, rising to go. “This is my
address, my father’s, that is. 1)

SOME FACTS REGARD- .
ING BABY’S HEALTH
“How am I doing” asks Baby.
| How should he be doing?
The first ‘2 or three months he
does'nt do much besides sleep and
eat and look around.
At 4 months he will follow moving
objects with his eyes and hold his
head up for a few seconds when held
in a sitting position.
When 7 he will sit up alone, reach
for objects and hold them in his hands
and turn over and back again by him-
self,
At 10 months an infant can pull him-
self to his knees or a standing posi-
tion, and recognize different members
of the family.
Comes the talking stage at about
12 months, with single words used.
and connected words and short sen-
tences at 2 years of age.
As for walking, this varies greatly
with children.
Some children begin walking before
a year, some not before 18 months.
Heavy babies usually walk later
than lighter babies, but no baby should
be urged to walk — let him take his
own time, he will do it when his legs
are ready for it.
Teeth begin to come anywhere from
6 to 9 months of age.
At 1 year, baby usually has 6 teeth,
at 2 years 16 teeth, and at about 2 and
one-half years, he should have 20.
These are called the milk teeth and
; the permanent ones will come along
| at about 6 years of age.
All of these dates are subject to
slight variation.
There is no standard rule and moth-
ers should not become too worried if
baby is slow to respond to the natu-
ral growth.
Weight and height also vary from
! any standard chart.
The baby may also vary a good deal
| from the chart and yet be healthy
| and well developed.
A contented child, one who eats well
and gains with a fair degree of regu-
| larity, is a child not to worry about.
These items are given as typical of
| most infant’s growth.
That's how most of them are doing.
