1t is not gnerally known that in France
it is a penal offense to give any form
of solid food to babies under a year old,
unless it be prescribed in writing by a
properly qualified medical man. Nurses
are also forbidden to use for their
charges any sort of feeding-bottle having
a rubber tube. These and other equally
stringent laws have recently been en-.

the lives of babies.

Few Americans living abroad are as
popular as the beautiful Mrs. George
Law who makes her home-in Paris. Nice
and London, according to the social sea-
sons. She possesses indisputably more
money in her own right than any woman
in French society. Her house In Paris
is a marvel in elegance and is the scene
of many lavish entertainments. Every
day is a gala one with her, and every
notable person in the country worth
