The Changeling Child.
The Scientific Explanation of
the Change Formerly At
tributed to the Fairies.

In folk lore stories there is frequent
mention of changelings children who
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak of body, and some
times weak of mind. 1t grew up to
be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful
1t seemed impossible that love could
bring such a child into the world.
So the child was called a fairy change
ling, a child substituted by the fairies
for one whom in their envy for its lovli-
ness they had carried away.
We hear no more of fairy stories
Stern science says that healthy and
lovely children must have healthy par
ents, and that when the mother in her
days of waiting and anticipation is
