The Babies Hotter where the in
mates vary in age from one month to
eight years, is divided into suites oil
apartments, each containing a day and
night nursery, under the charge of a
competent nurse and undernurse.
Each suite comprises little home
where three tiny visitors have their
meals, live and sleep, and from which
they go out for their daily walks, as
IL they were members of one family.
There is no question of the child
rem being banded together as in an
institute" the principal said to me.
"Our one aim is to initiate home.
1.-TWO head nurses are in charge of
the Babies Hotel who are both
trained thoroughly in all diseases of
children.
"A seaside cottage at Bognor is at
the disposal of the little visitors,
where there is accommodation for the
resident head nurse. three charge nurs-
es and seven children"
One of the most novel features of
the Babies Hotel'' is the food cup
boards which are to be found on each
nursery wall. These cupboards have
three sides of wood, and the fourth
side is of perforated zinc opening into
the air.
The night nurseries are furnished
with miniature furniture, tiny cots
with dainty covers, dwarf washstands
and dressing tables on which the ba-
bys brush, comb and powder box are
displayed.
The inmates of the Babies Hotter
are tiny aristocrats. Only children of
good social origin are received, and
the nurses are ladies.
