I feel that my baby needs everything in his favor, because of the severs vomiting I experience early in pregnancy. I know that the foetus is for a time poorly nourished , . . and if the absence of anesthetic will even partly make up for this lack, it will be worth it on that score alone. Although Dr. Read himself does not make the claim, I have heard his method called painless childbirth. I do not expect that. I expect hard work, discomfort and perhaps pain for a while. I don’t expect agony, or anything approaching the unbearable. And I do think that the reward will far outshine the effort. I've waited for this for nine months, I don't want to sleep through it.

MeKechnie, Mrs. Johnson's two-year-old . daughter, Gracie Elizabéth, pulled in a cart, covered in pink and with a white bow, In which were the gifts for the miscellaneous shower. Later the guests played several amusing games, one

ring. Each person was given a letter of “sweet Miss Peggy Yockey.” . A wedding ring was passed around and each guest made a wish. starting with the letter assigned to her. The ring theme was carried out on the tea table where the punch bowl at one end was surrounded with

pink and white roses. At the”

opposite was another rose ring on a mirror. On Tuesday Mrs. Paul Weer had luncheon for Susannah Milner at Woodstock. The centerpiece was a large cake iced in white and blue from which blue satin ribbons, with gardenias attached, went to each place. Susannah wore a smart black and white striped dress with a red hat. Mrs, R. P. Batchelor Jr., the former Mary Ellen Glossbrenner, wore _a wide brimmed straw with a yellow linen dress. Among the other guests were Mrs. Jean Milner, Mary Jean Milner, Ann Alig, Mrs. C.
