Modern Screen (Dec 1933 - Oct 1934)

Modern Screen to find her. And I want her to be the happiest little girl in the world. George and I are going to try awfully hard to make her happy." Gracie and George both talked for over an hour about their wonderful plans for their wonderful baby. I wish you could have seen how sincere they were and how much this new adventure means to them. "You're sure you're going to adopt a girl?" I asked once more, just as I was leaving. "Oh, we're sure," said George and Gracie. "But what if you went to the orphanage or wherever you're going and saw a precious, cuddly, adorable little boy who made friends with you at once?" I persisted. "W-w-well," George and Gracie looked at each other. "How about it, mama?" he asked. Gracie turned suddenly. "No sir, it's going to be a girl — I can have so much fun getting her sweet little dresses but — oh. any baby and every baby is so sweet, I don't know what I'd do. I guess it all comes down to just one fact. George and I want a baby and we're going to have one."

I GUESS I must have looked pretty stunned by this profusion of edibles, because my hostess started to laugh. "When you entertain the flocks of casual callers we do," she explained, "you have to keep on hand enough stuff to set up a small restaurant." And judging by the delicious meal which we consumed just a short time later, the Browns would be well qualified to run a first-class restaurant any time. Now, perhaps others don't have to entertain on such a wholesale scale — you, for instance, and you and you — but that's no reason why you can't take a leaf from Mrs. Brown's note book and fix up an emergency shelf of your own, stock with foods which you, your family and friends will enjoy. It may contain nothing more than the makings of an impromptu supper I ALLURING . . • cuid ci& £weet tLe aweu ^tam Iilwl!
