CilP NURSING.—Thenby-and-by—generally,
however,EA after
eiev;n,
thatuniversal meal hour—l
meet an old woman busily trotting along towards
the Luxembourg Gardens, surrounded by fifteen or
twenty little children, aged from two or three years
to seven or eight. Their parents pay the old lady
ltihtool
about ten centimes an hour to take their children
out, and give them a walk or a game of play in
the gardens. It is pretty to see her convey her
little rde
fox, the goose, and a bag
of corn. geopi

while the old woman
tmis beckoned across, and
on ona side, white the very little ones are carried
trots back for the rest; and I notice she is much
more despotic during her short reign of power than
the old woman herself. At ieligta th3y are past all
l
left
o
dangers, and safe in the gardens, where they make
dat-pies to their hearts' content, while their
chaperon takes out her knitting and seats herself on
a bench in their midst. say she has 15 children,
and keeps them out for two hours, it makes her a
little income of half-a-crown a day; and many a
busy mother is glad that her child should have
happy play and exercise, while she goes a-shopping,
or does some other piece of housekeeping work,
which would prevent her from attending properly
to her chiid.—Fraser's Magazine.
