We hal the pleasure Of a call this
morning from a young lady who has no
objection to people knowing her age,
though in the next twenty or thirty years
she may change her mind. 1t was Miss
Cora Lee Holland, who was awarded the
first prize on Tuesday last at the baby
show. She is a blue-eysd little beauty,
aged i've months, and weighs twenty-five
pounds, but when first weighed she only
pulled down seven and a half pounds.
She sits alone with ease, and will walk
before she is FIVE months older. Her head
and limbs are perfectly moulded, and,
while not fat, she is just immense, and
out in Chelsea as well as in the LEDGER
office, is known as our baby"
