It is a good thing to put the babies where one can take a long, wholesome, analytical look at them, once in a while; because there are people who actually forget there are any babies in the world, ao engrossed are they with the coarser and unkindlier things of life; the lesson is opportune at any time and has its particular message for every man and woman, and the baby-show, if one but knew it, is a sort of impromptu self confessional, wherein we may purge our v.rt ftf snme of the trrime of indif ference and harshness and self-centering meanesscs of life Success to the Baby-Show, next week, and may it be overwhelmingly patron-fcedf knows about you" (turning the accusing finger suddenly in anotner direction) fn,1 the time and money Tou spend on fool haU and card parties doing what yon call 'getting on in society, wmie your husband is being driven away f ron home bv badlv cooked meals and your .7. children are running loose on tne street learning to be hoodlums.
