degree of perfection. Many colored ba-

But babies must have all their senses
to pass muster. There are plenty of ways
to test these. For instance, II YOU can
find a good-natured pussy cat 1t would
be a fine medium by which to judge
baby's sense OF touch.
Watch the baby pet It. Does the little
one pet in the right way Then baby
gains points on the sense OF touch.
"Tinkle a music box by the bahy's ear.
Hear the little villain laugh. That's an
other good sign.
Then hold some bright object up be-
