templates the extensive remodsling OF City

will be more convenient and serviceable.

among the structures sacrificed being the old

SANDS OF mothers with their little ones on
the piers that are dotted up and down the

The sea breezes sweep up and down and
there is a great deal Of space in which
the children can play, while for the mothers
nursing their infants there are settees made
IN curves to give the most rest to the oc-
cupants. Besides all this there are the
doctors. On each of the piers a physician
walks up and down every day, making
three round trips as a rule. He knows
many OF the mothers by name, and all Of
them by sight, together with their babies.
He picks out, with the quickness of a medi-
cal man, the baby that needs something
more than the fresh air OF the pier, and,
as no questions the mother In a kindly
tone, he passes his hand over the tiny face
and notes the temperature, breathing and
