Special Cable to The Tribune.
LONDON, Aug. 6,-The example set by
Queen Mary in paying the closest per-
sonal attention TO her children is bound
TO have its effect on society to the great
good of hundreds of baby aristocrats,
whose mothers. was said recently by
the Duchess OF Hamilton, considers that
she has fulfilled all her obligations as
mother when she has a we'll trained
nurse to look after her children, Queen
Mary. when the royal children were In
fants, used 10 make a point of visiting
the nursery at least twice a day, and
often would remain for several hours at
a time with her children, and the good
health which the Princess Mary and the
princes happily enjoyed is largely due
TO the unceasing and ever-watchful care
of their devoted mother There never
was period when the babies OF the very
wealthy were reared amid such luxurious
in spite OF this, there never was a time
when the real welfare OF the children OF
the rich was SO much neglected.
Luxuries for Nursery
The amount OF money spent by fashion
able and wealthy people on luXuries for
the nursery is almost incredible. For ex-
ample, cot blankets made OF the finest
wool. and dyed In various colors by q
highly expensive process. run from SO
TO 500 pair. and silken-cot sheets, al

urlous nurseries baby has its morning
and evening wash in bath lined with
the finest porcelain, ornamented with
quaint designs. These are, however,
preparations put into baby's bath 10 keep
his skin soft. and give 1t an entirely
artificial smoothness and elossiness.
Some of these preparations are poison
OF the unhappy little victims upon whom
they are used.
overburdened With Clothes.
One of the worst of the miseries which
the child OF well-to-do parents often has
to suffer is that OF being overburdened
an evil as being insufficiently clad Al
most from the day OF his birth the child
of wealth is often literally half smothered
in silk and lace at the time when ii Is
cal wcll-being that he should have per-
feet freedom in the use OF his limbs and
above all, OF his respiratory organs, which
he cannot exercise properly when over
loaded with these costly garments. a
well-known physician recently stated
that he had attended many infants
permanently affected by the insane de-
sire on the part Of their parents to put
a weight of costly clothing on their luck
less babies. which must have caused
them very considerable amount OF dis
comfort, and, in some cases, great deal
OF suffering.
Cause of AL the Ills.
The primary cause Of all the ills which
besct so many OF the children of wealthy
parents is that they are left practically
altogether in the charge of their nurses,
and are really seen very rarely by their
mothers. OF course there are many
wealthy women In society of whom this
certainly could not be said The Duchess
of Norfolk. for example; is most devoted
mother. and SO, too Is the Duchess of
Portland. When her grace's children
were In the nursery the duchess renounced
most OF her social engagements and was
edly true that the majority of wealthy
women nowadays shift as much as they
can Of the burden and responsibility OF
motherhood on TO the shoulders Of paid
hreliDg. who, in spite OF her many Gre
dent,aIs and certificates. is rarely. il
ever. fitted to have complete charge Of a
child without the mothers supervision.
