In many Of the large department
stores system of checking babies has
been introduced. to make il easier fer
women with babies TO do their shop
ping. The babies are taken care or Ly
competent nurses, while the mothers.
unencumbered by their darlings, can
devote themselves to the FASCINATING
task of picking up bargains. The
scheme worked fine and proved very
convenient for women with babies. But
the system also had its serious draw
back In the excitement of bargain
hunting many Of the mothers forgot
all about their precious darlings and.
their task finished. returned 10 their
respective homes without having re-
claimed their checked babies. In most
cases. of course. this meant hysteric3,
hurried trip back To- the store and
"A fearful though happy reunion of
mother and baby. But In other eases
the trouble was not so easily and
promptly corrected. Sometimes the
mother could not reach the store where
she had checked her baby, before clos
ing time and the women in charge of
the baby check room had TO take tho
babies To their own homes. Quite z
number of mothers either forgot en-.
tirely that they had checked their ba =
bies or. for some good reason. did moi
wish 70 remember 1t. At all events
quite considerable number Of babies
remained unclaimed and had to be
turned over to some public institution
Some department store managers ar,
seriously considering the advisabiity
Of disseminating this checking system
