Battles Babies Herself.

The young queen bathes her babies with
her own hands AS every American
mother knows. this is a most important
feature in the modern science of baby
culture 1t is said. too, that she has be-
come quite an expert in the art The
queen has plenty of attendants to help
her in her task. but the important fact to
remember is that she does the actual
bathing herself.
Court etiquette and Spanish Incidence in
the past have consigned the care of royal
children entirely to others. Probably this
is why the Spanish royal children shown
in old paintings look lifeless and hopeless.
1t was an historical custom to engage as
nurse a peasant woman from Catalonia, a
dark. husky person in a very picturesque
national costume, who was entirely ig-
norant of hygiene, cleanliness and the
care of a baby.

succeeds in escaping the revolutionary
wave that threatens his throne it will be
largely due to the domestic virtues of his
wife. Every woman loves a motherly
mother more especially when she is a
youthful and handsome queen, and the
young queens loving care of her babies is
a continual source of pleasure and edifica-
ton to the whole of the female portion of
the population of Spain.
Queen Victoria has set at defiance all
the hidebound traditions that have hith-
erto hampered the acts of royalty. and
more especially the acts of Spanish
queens. She has discovered that it is one
of the pleasures of life to nurse her own
children, and she takes the greatest pride
in the fact that she cares for them her

perambulators, fOndling them on her
knee. and performing other little mother
