WITH
IRENE

+++ From War Memorial Hospital

When I first started this column, I
wrote that I wasn’t blessed by having
any made-to-order subjects to write
about like Jack Scott with his Prin-
cesses, or Mamie Maloney with her
two sons.-But with last week's major
Publication event (vital statistics: fe-
male, 8 Ibs. 0 oz., brunette, blue eyes,
required number of fingers and toes)
I can now start to compete, although
it will be sometime before I can quote
Elaine's bright sayings and doings.

I debated whether to start off th
week with “Now I know what a print-
er's devil looks like” — or “never
again!”

But it seems a iittle harsh to tag our
delightful addition with the label
“printer's devil,” even facetiously.

As for the “never again,” my women
readers will know what I mean as
most of us have probably said the same
during and immediately following the
blessed event. If this column was being
written a week earlier, that would defi-
nitely have been my lead line. But I
have discovered that it is also true
that Mother Nature has provided us
with short memories in these cases,
and the pain quickly fades from
mind. So even now I can contemplate
a second addition without too much
of a shudder — but don’t rush me!

After being given distinct instruc.
tions for weeks ahead by the Editor
that I was to arrange to go into the
hospital at the end of a week after
publication of the paper, and also
after the first of the month when
the invoices were out, I completely
loused things up by “jumping the
gun” ahead of time and making the
trip up the hill on a Monday night.

Although this is very nice for any
Prospective mother who dreads the
jast dragging weeks, it made a memor-
able week for your editor, who spent

do justice by g the big even:
—not to mention visiting his family in
hospital. ‘

Fatherhood appears to creep up with
little warning on husbands apparently,
even though they are aware of the
pending event for the prescribed nine
morths. I am still laughing at one par-
ticular prospective father (need we
mention names?, who, when I casually
mentioned recently that the big event
was due the next week, yelled, “next
week! — You can’t go next week, I'm
not read:

But ready or not, here I am in our
small hospital, which has proved quite
different to my sojourn in big city
institutions where you are just another
patient in an almost over-efficient
assembly line. Here there is a feeling
of friendly interest surrounding you
continually from the doctor and ma-
tron down to the newest ward-aide.
‘There is time to chat and compliment
you on your offspring: there is genuine
concern over your progress.

Humans are funny people. During
the past year or so, trying to keep up
with both office and housework has
left little time for reading and I have
often wished for time to sit and thor-
oughly enjoy a good book. Now, with
time on my hands and an Jnaehalise f
ible supply of books and magazines, I
am bored to tears.

The chance to lie and do nothing,
not to have to plan meals or even think
of them until the next tray is brought
in, would have seemed a heavenly
prospect two weeks ago. But even that
‘pleasure has dimmed and I am eager
to get heme and boil my own kettle
again,

They tel] me I won't be eager long!

I have worried for weeks as to who
would look after this and that in the
office when the crucial time came and
I was forced to leave the halls of
commerce, but I find I_can relax quite
comfortably with hardly a worry in
the world. And what is even more
amazing, they seem to be able to pub-
lish the paper without me!

Not one of us is indispensable.
