King Gould is J years of age, and Jay,
Jr., has been his grsndfather's idol exactly
six months. Both are plump, white, brown
eyed, beautiful fellows and as delicious 30
the senses az the tOuquet of perfumes from
a SO box of bonbons. At dsybreak these
palatsble creatures are taken from their
swsn's-down, brass-bound beds and lunch
ed on chicken brosh after light sponRiDg
Their toilet is made in a porcelain dish not
any larger and quite as pretty as salad
bowl, for tho decorations are from Kate
Greenaway S sketches and fired IN the
china. In one side the sponge is Kept and
on the other side of the Greenaway fence,
above which quantity dressed boys and
girls Chamber, is the pint o. so Of wan
water. For at least two hours the maids
are expected to amuJe and exercise their
chstge, and then comes the daily bath IN
tie sunriest, wsrmest part OF the nursery.
The cream-cOlOred portable tub is lined
with a cradle sheet, and half filled with
deliciously scented and pleasantly heated
water. His Maj aety ia not plunged into
the water by order of his proud father, but
permitted to cOquet with the elements and
splash Just IS much foapsuds about the
Persian rug and in the fsce of his nurse as
he likes. He 90 in first with Bis fingers,
then his hands, next toe is ventured, and
by degrees The chubby legs are immersed,
and once in the water his happiness is COM
plets. The length of ire bath isIeguiated
by the family physician, who not only
doctors the children when necessary, but
has trained the nurses with special refer
ence 10 the Perfect physical development
of their charge
No athlete is more carefully rubbed
down than these young brothers. They
are not only dried with linen and silk tow

The toilet ceses alone, containing the
brushes, manicure articles and scent bot
tl,s. would be a fortune 70 child of pen
ury. In one set the mounting is repousse
silver and in the other pure ivory, with
the childs name cut in blue script. The
numerous brushes are so bound that the
bristles of cancels hair can be replaced,
and the scissors iar clipping baby lashes
are dainty, slender blades, also mono
Both are incased in leather
boxes, satin tuftsd and deliciously per-
fumed. There are few bellies or bach
eloIs with prettier toilet rocds than fur
nish the tables Of the young Goulds. The
bottles ior perfumes, waters, oils and spirits
are of cut crystal, nth silver shoppers ard
etched names. The powder-boxes and
Jewel cases are rare in workmanship and
design, and the hand glasses are worth $50
each, if they can be duplicated at all.
King GOuld's fterncon dresses average
S14 each. They are made of white surah
Dr. pineapple silk, after the Directoire style,
with short waists of drawn work. S,deli-

Then, too, the nursery contains O drug

white or gold willow, canopied with lace
and silk, lesfy with ribbons aud tassels,
and pillowed with down and quilted silk,
and baby baskets of all shapes and sizes,
satin tufted, with side pockets and cush-
ions of futed ribbons and ruflies. Here
one finds sachets of all the SWEETS in Araby,
boxes Of pins and strings, powders and
pufs, soaps as white as wax and ss pure,
cups, powder and soap cases Of white crys-
tai, Outbound, or silver and porcelain
chased. And in spite of their
800 cribs, their $40 broth bowls and their
silk wash rags, these stsr-bOrn babes get
quite as cross, croupy aud colicky as though
they slept in a clothes basket, ate their
bread and milk from tin dipper and wore
