Advts of the Week

To the 343 Babies*

who will be born

in New York today--

Of course you're going to be born. What chance has a baby against a full-grown statistic? . . . Well, here you are, and congratulations. . . . It's easier to learn while you're young, and you might as well start out with a few good habits and let the bad ones take care of themselves. Now stop that noise and listen. . . .

Pads at 33-c- or 52-c- depending on the size, and rubber sheets at 69-c-, have a mission in your life and don't let Mother hold out on you. . . .

Bird's-eye or Flannelette diapers are considered chic this season and Papa will be glad to know they're only $1.36 and $1.59 a doz. as you'll want lots of them. . . .

"Dearest Walter with Hard-Boiled Egg"

O. Henry tells the one and only lucky typewriter mistake. "Her typewriter began to rattle and jump like a strike-breaker's motor car," wrote O. Henry in his short story, "Springtime a la Carte." . . . How, unable to find her sweetheart in New York . . . her money running low . . . she earned her meals by typing menus . . . and hammered out instead of "Dandelion Greens with Hard-Boiled Egg," "Dearest Walter with Hard-Boiled Egg." And fortunately "Dearest Walter" wandered into the restaurant, found his name on the menu . . . and they lived happily ever after.

But most typewriter mistakes are unlucky. They keep you after hours. Annoy your employers. Even threaten the securest position, when long continued. Noise . . . the rackety chatter of many typewriters is the treacherous breeder of mistakes. . . .
