We spent Christmas in a home Where breakfast is announced by the cook, who goes to the Steinway piano and plays "Rock of Ages” When the coffee gets hot. BABY POEM Number 11 You’ve eaten up a whopping lunch, And had your bottle too; You’re orange-juiced from stem to stern, And still think more is due. I’ve called in all the neighborhood, For them to have a look; I’ve even read the rulings in The, doctor’s Baby-Book. The only course of action now That’s left to follow through, Is just to feed you till you pop, .... And that’s not good for you. --O Tom Skinner Kittrell, Henderson lawyer, reports that his father s disappointment at not receiving a Christmas card from a certain friend was brief, and that it turn ed to surprise when the delayed card arrived, through the regular mails, simply addressed: “Cousin Joe, Henderson, N. C.” From the Lost and Found col umns of the Nashville Tennesseean, this: BIRD OR HAT—Flew in or blew in out of car passing Dnnaher’s Service Station, 2612 Franklin Road. It’s sorta round with green and red polkadot quills or feathers in it. If you’ve lost a hat or a bird, drive by and see it—It’s funny. Molasses has more available iron than does spinach, says a report from Massachusetts Institute of Technology . . . that’s mighty fine, but we’ve become used to having spinach for Sunday dinner, and somehow we can’t imagine serving molasses with hard boiled egg . . .

The only comment we saw was to the effect that the man was celebrating a little previ ously. We think there might be more to it than that . . . maybe the man’s little boy wanted an electric train . . . put yourself in his place . . . think how wonderful you’d feel if your son asked for a train for Christmas and you could ride proudly up, step out of the cab, and say, “Here you are, Sonny. It’s all yours 1” —o— APPEALING CARTOONS: the one in the American Magazine showing the little girl in the Scotch plaid dress . . . with bagpipe bustle, say ing, “Every time I sit down it plays ‘Loch Lomond’!” .... (January, 1940) APPRECIATION FOR DANCING: a young man we know, aged 13 months, has just learned to dance. He hops up and down with greet glee whenever the radio is turned on; his parents were surprised and slightly alarmed to discover him dancing with no music within hearing distance . . . discovered that what he thought was dancing music was really the man who came to fix the radiator . . sawing.
