THE CHILD MOTHERS
One thing which one notices about the lit
tie children of the poor is the rapldity with
which they mature. For instance, it is no un
common sight to sec little tot OF six or seven
giving a mothers to baby of three, The
older child struts Importantly along down the
street with the baby clinging con6dingly to her
hand; she stops at store and buys two cents
worth of milk with the air of a princess royal;
then she struts back again, reaches her own
"stoop,' takes the baby under his arms. and
lifts him up the steps. She staggers beneath
his weight, but she gets him up all right, and
with the dignity OF grandmother disappears
with him inside the narrow vestbule.
She is nothing but baby herself, but the
care of the younger child has given her sense
of responsibility entirely out OF keeping with
her years.

prematurity; the little boys also have it. l have

that only mother is capable OF.
Once in the case OF younger brother who
was cripple, the solicitude OF the elder was
really touching. In this case the face OF the
younger brother actually kept clean, and
this is lot to say for child of the poorer class
The faces of these children are almost always
thick with grimy dirt, and what clothes they
have generally ragged and filthy; but they
have such trick OF smiling at you that you
cannot help loving them
They are not at all pretty to look at, and the
language OF the boys is often not at all edifying
