We have a new baby sister! Blanche and Ethel and I were sent across the railroad to again. When Daddy came to get us, the doctor's car was leaving the house again, just as when Little Mack arrived. Ethel asked Mama if the doctor brought babies in his car. Mama said, "The seed of life is entrusted by God to the father in a very wonderful way, and after marriage he is allowed to give it to his wife and after a while, a baby comes, from under the mother's heart." We wanted to ask more, but Mama said she needed to rest.
The baby is so sweet. Her name is Fannie Jane. Mama said she wanted to name her for one of her sisters and one of Daddy's. We asked why she didn't name her for Aunt Claudie and Mama said it was bad luck to name for dead people. We sure don't need any more bad luck. There's already a cousin named Ruth. Aunt Jane is here to stay for a while.
