BABY-TALK.

BY BERTON

BRALET.

The danguage that a baby speaks.

Before it learns the words.

Is just as universal

As the chirping of the birds.

And be the baby yellow. black,

Or red or brown or white,

It speaks the selfsame language

Of cach other ting mite.

The language that a baby speak. Is made of gurgles, coor. And funny little bubbling sounds

That all the babies use:

And 'mid the Babel of the world That funny baby tongue

Is music loveliest of ail

That's ever played or sung.

The language that a baby speaks,

When it is very small,

Is language no interpreter

Could aver get at all:

Yet round about the seven seas

And in a thousand lands,

The language that a baby speaks

Each mother understands!

#

The theme is strongly dramatic in tone, and deals with the career of a notorious society beauty, who at last meets ter match in the person of a famous general

Miss Talmadge is supported by Conway Tearle and a big cast.
