S. for her. and of all things you hate to be kissed and talked silly to." He was beautifully clothed in a radiant smile and very little else,, and although his remarks are here translated into grownup language from baby talk, they are* absolutely verbatim. When the re porter said to him, "You must have, a mighty good mother, young man?" he winked and whispered, "You said It. then. Of course, being of the male sex. I don't like to give the women too much credit for what they do. If goes to their heads too much, but honestly, the mothers of this bunch are Just great. Mine's a wonder." Mrs. Anna Lewis, welfare off leer, was also present at the meeting. She was assisted in weighing and regis tering the babies by Mrs. It. ft. Cot ter and Mrs. W. H.
