Queer Customs Of Hartford M0therS,

What possesses Hartford mothers,
while shopping, to leave their babies
alone in their baby carriages on the
sidewalk to the mercy of the public? A
life-picture Saturday afternoon: Eight
white. capped babies drawn in line
near the cluster of dry goods stores.
One baby screaming in the gutter with
q horse smiling at it; another buried
beneath a great black dog devouring
cracker crumbs, and another was almost
in apoplexy trying to recover its lost
bottle. Strangers "chucked' some OF
them under their chins and snapped
their fingers before their eyes, and the
rest of the babies with their under lips
swelling, all looked on with frightened
uncertainty, feeling their turn was
coming next. A crowd of frantic
women picked up the screaming little
one from under the horses feet. The
mother of that child can be thankful
that it was a clever, kind-hearted. old
fashioned horse that took better care
of the baby than she did: The lost
bottle was restored to its red.faced
little owner and the dog was driven
away. He did not like it, and barked
furiously. Eight mouths opened wide
with roars, and eight mothers staid in.
