THE HOURA GLASS Preface To The Hour Glass As you open The Hour Glass of thirty-two, Oh, husband and child and Wife, You will find it something entirely new For this year 'tis dedicated to Life. We have taken the various phases in turn, The infant, the boy and the man, And in each one of these you can truly discern A sorrow and joy in his span. We hope you will like our book this year, And thanks all who have been of aid. If you gain from its reading a lift, laugh or tear, Then all our labor's repayed. -Jane Welch Page Eight

THE HOUR GLASS This Baby Life Gosh, I'm tired. I dontt know why. All I do is lay here, suck my finger, and every once in a while someone brings me a big bottle of milk to drink. Milk! Bah! VVhy can't I have some pie and cake or a nice big dish of fruit salad like Sis an' Bub? Darn that iron crib side. I've banged my toes against it so many times my feet are black and blue. Well, I'm getting pretty hungry. I'm going to squall for a while. Maybe I'll get something to drink. Oh, darn it! I guess Mama 's eating, but here comes that old Mrs. Biggs from next door. Now she 'll pick me up an' slap my back an' kiss me a couple of times an' then wonder why I don't stop eryinl She dcesn't know anything about babies, but to hear the awful ad- vice she tries to give my mother about raisin' me, you think she 'd raised fifteen kids of her own. Here she goes! The same old line. Ouch! Why does she have to hit me so hard f? Oh goody, here comes Sis to rescue me. I guess she must remember when Mrs. Biggs held her. Maybe tl1e woman means all right, but I sure don't appreciate her efforts. lVell Sis is going to take me out to the table where I can watch them eat and give mama a chance to eat her dinner before she has to fix my bottle. I'm glad my mama isn't like Mrs. Biggs. lVhat's this? I'm goin' to have somethin' new to eat. Mama says its potato. Gee, but it's good. I'm glad that I'm goin' off my milk diet, but I do wish I could have a piece of that chocolate cake, I'll bet it's swell. WVhat's this bright shiny thing with a small hollow on one end? Uh! Mama says it is a spoon. lVell, if everything tastes as good from the spoon as that potato did, I'm sure going to use one plenty when I get older. The rest of them are done eating now and mama's fixing my bottle. Here she comes. Now she's going to take me into my crib. Gosh, it feels a lot better now that I'm not so hungry. Gee, I feel tired. Guess I'll take a nap. -Seward Fisk Yes, Mother, I'm comingw-would have been here before if you hadn't hung all my clothes up where I couldn't find them. Funny the way mothers always have to have everything put away just so . I s'pose it's alright if you have lots of time to hang everything up-but I'm a pretty busy fella to have to bother with all of that stuff Boy! Wliat a day this is, and to think I have to go to school-wish I could go swimming in the old swimming hole with Jack. I'd like to go fishing too- haven't used that swell new pole Uncle gave me for Christmas yet-bet I could catch somethin' with that. Course school is Page Ten , A
