As a Change.
A young man in a cricket shirt and strawi hat was wheeling a baby-carriag© backward and forward along the pavement m front; of a small house in a London suburb. The hot afternoon sun poured pitilessly down upon him, and he was- as angry- as any marc in the neighbourhood.
"My dear," came a voice from the upper window of tJie house.
"Let me alone, can't you?" he shrieked back, and went on wheeling and mopping his face.
An hour later the same voice came from the same window in earnest, pleading tones:, "George, dear." "Well, what on earth do you want?" h& «houted. "Have th© water-pipes burst?**
"Xo, George, dear," wailed the voice ; "the water-pipee are all right, .but you've been wheeling Amy's doll all the afternoon. Hadn't you better let baby have a turn now?"
