Certainly the children were enjoying

babies just able to toddle almost to that

there were all ages disporting themselves.

Eas to be gotten into the background

things into a thick layer Of flesh.
Most Of the patients have to be kert
in camp an entire season to bring this
change about. None of the babies are
sent back home until thoroughly well and
fat or until the camp closes up When
a baby tips the scales a half a pound 5r
SO over weight. II Is still kept in camp
a few weeks longer. so that II will be :
come completely accustomed to the
change and not start to get thin and
scrawney again as soon as IL gets homo.
The babies for the camp are selected
by the visitors Of the Associated Chari-
ties. Only babies suffering from NAL
nutrition and blight are chosen, because
these cases are just the ones that enable
the camp to get in its best work Battles
with specific diseases, of course, cannot
be taken care Of at the camp Ard
there is no room there to admit babies
in moderate health. The camp only has
a capacity of fifteen babies.
A Dimealt Case.
The most pathetic case at the camp is
that Of little boy. whose body evidences
that in the beginning of his life the
Fates have dealt cruelty by him. His
bones seem almost to look out through
his transparent skin. His curved spine
runs like knife's edge down his bach.
and at its base the taper point looks
as though a sudden move would make
II pierce the skin. Even the little fellow s
cry lacks the compelling vitality Of the

cross-eyed.
Mrs. Simon has hope, however, that
they will be able to make the little
fellow well and strong. She even inti-
mated that with some favoring circum-
stance, the defect in the baby's sight
will be corrected. He Is under the care
of good nurses and has a good doctor
to help him get a square start. Dr.
Louise Taylor-Jones. who gives her ser
vices freely to the Baby Camp expects
to send this baby home SO well patched
up that his parents can look with new
trust to his future.
Three of the babies have improved so
much that they will be sent home in
two or three weeks more. One of them
became displeased with something be-
fore the reporter left and made his
troubles known with rumblings that
sounded like a nearby earthquake He
kept on voicing his displeasure with
vigor crescendo on a screech that would
force respect and attention from most
anybody. That baby seemed well enough
to have a private padded cell all to
himself. Maybe. herself-the reporter
didn't ask.

-, 1T is unjust that any one should lose
his future, until old enough to lose II
through his fault" the nurse declared.
What Baby Camp does for its charges
could be seen by a pure novice in babies
by the inspection Of those who have been
there for some time. Three old-timers-
that is, three babies who have been at
the camp a week or so-sat playing on
the floor of the roomy, screened-in porch
which is their nursery. All three showed
signs of approaching stoutness. All three
were happy And all three were more or
less usefully employed.
One blue-eyed little sprite Of this group
who the reporter decided was about three
or four months old-though he or she
may have been six, eight, or ten months
old. the reporter forgot to ask-was en-
gagged in the delicate business Of swallow
ing a bottle of talcum powder. 1t had
succeeded in getting the stopper part in
its mouth, and was stretching to include
the sides. 1t had set its heart on that
bottle. 1t probably swallowed the thing
in Que time, because when the reporter
looked again the bottle was gone and the
baby wasstill perfectly happy.
Another of these three babies had skill
fully placed one Of its feet behind its ear,
where the foot stuck. While il was try
ing to untangle itself the third baby was
walloping it in a frenzy of excitement
over the gorgeousness of the stunt"
Both seemed to be entirely content The
nurse remarked that these babies were
improving.
Big Trees Shade N0rsery.
The nursery is a deep, broad porch. It
is screened on all sides. Giant trees stand
around it, their tops arching high over
its roof and their interlacing branches
completely shading 1t. The land slopes
away into little valley at the side and
to deep gully in the rear. Here, with
in hundred feet of the houses, stretches
cool background Of woods. Before and
beside the nursery is close-cropped
meadow.
