The Baby Show at Palatka.

The Putnam County Baby Show,
held at the Armory in Palatka last
Tuesday, was great success. We
can't say "howling" success, for
there was not whimper from any
one of the SO babies In line--not even.
a good case Of "hick-ups" was heard
hick-ing. A baby show was just the
thing, because we never had one
before, and as the crops of babies
have been unusually large for sew
eral seasons past, everybody was i'm
terested, and the show was mighty
popular. Every baby was pretty
some prettier than others, and some
fatter, and some cuter-but all pref
ty. The judges were very wisely
chosen from among people living
out of the County. This was, of
course, best for the babies as well as
the judges. The babies, SO far as
the judges knew, were yet unnamed,
but were distinguished by numbers.
The little boys wore blue ribbon
bows and the little girls wore pink.
The show was given by the ladies
of the Presbyterian Church of Pa
latka to raise funds to equip a room
in the new county hospital. The
amount realized was over 800 net.
There were five classes, according
to age, for the prettiest babies; one
for the latest; the smallest; the
most popular; the one with the
broadcast smile; grand sweepstakes,
finest child of any age.
Twenty-seven babies were award
ed prizes.
