could not only sew but In her time little girls were taught to weave the cloth
which vas made up into clothes for them. More than that they were expected
to learn how 20 spin the thread or yarn from which the cloth was made.
There was ax from which linen thread and cloth were spun and the wool
from the sheep from which yarn and warm garments for winter were made.
Little girls were taught TO spin first OF all. Very stupid the little girl was
thought to be who had not learned to spin by her tenth birthday.
"As for sewing, dear me- wish you could Se some Of the needework

Not only could they stitch up a seam very neatly, but they could work
many fancy stitches. One Of the things that every little girl was expected to
do was TO make q sampler.

called a. sampler. Under the picture the little girl generally worked a verse
which her mother or teacher selected for her. ,
"At the end she would work her name and the date. When it was done her
proud mother would put it into a frame and hang it up where every me could
see and admire it.
1.-THE little girls wereve y anxious to have these samplers nice.
Before she was twelve most every little girl had learned to knit and was
making her own stockings as well % mitens, scarfs, wrist bands etc, for her
brothers and herself. e

she organized . real baby contest
The object to award prizes to
those children who made the best
physical showing, Or. Clark prepared
score cards, the principal items OF
which were adapted from the cards
used in judging cattle and animals Of
various kinds. These cards formed the
basis OF a scientific inquiry calculated
to reveal the physical and mental ef-
fciency Of the child examined.
The results of this first contest were
appalling. They showed that Iowa had
better corn and cattle than babies, and
awakened public sentiment to a wide
study Of all these matters that con-
Germ the care of children-diet, clothes,
baths, and so on. One child who had
received a low marking in the first
contest won a prize at the second be-
cause the mother had carried out the
suggestion as TO the child's diet and
care, which she never would have
heard of had 1t not been for the arous-
ed state Of the public mind.
This year thirty-tive states have al
ready arranged to hold scientific baby
shows in connection with livestock
shows and state fairs. Women's clubs,
newspapers and physicians are awake,

movements has begun,

ApRlANoPLE

The following consular report On
Adrianople is particularly interesting
at this time when the eyes Of the
world are focused on it as a result of
the long siege it has withstood from
the Balkan allies:
The city Of Adrianople is situated al
the confluence Of the Martha. Tunia
and Arda rivers, about 40 miles north
west Of Constantin0ple and on the rail
way between that place and Belgrade,
Servia. 1t was rebuilt from an old
Fhracian city by the Roman Emperor
Hadrian. after whom it was named,
and from 1861 to 1853 was the seat of
the Ottoman government. The sultan's
palace is still standing, but in a state
of decay.
The city has manufactures of silks,
woOlens and linens, besides dye works
and tanneries. Prior to the present
disturbed conditions there it had a
population of about 10000; half of
whom were Turks, the rest Bulgarians,
Armenians and Jews. The vilayet or
province of Adrianople, of which the
city Is the capital, has an area Of IA
822 square miles and a population Of
1864, 900.
The United States has no consular
representative at Adrianople, and the
following information concerning
trade conditions in 1911 is taken from
the annual report of the British consul
at that place.
The 1911 harvest in the vilayet of
Adrianople was better than any for
the previous six years. The prosper
ity Of the district. which is a purely
agricultural one, depends entirely on
the success of the crops. which in a
bumper year may be estimated at a
value of over $4,000, 900. with grain
exports Of some 50, coo, 900. Climatic
conditions favored the growth Of Ger
calls, but peasant c]ultivators had but
small stocks Of seed on hand, so that
even with the assistance of the local
authorities a considerable amount of
land remained unCultivated. The
poorer classes also suffered from the
fact that a series Of disastrous years
had forced them to borrow money.
Because Of the bad pasturage, forage
was dear and many peasants sold their
cattle,

BABY SHOWS.

"A year or two ago a woman in Iowa,
Mrs. Mary II. Watts. conceived the
idea that in her state the principal en-
tnusiasm among her people was for
better cattle, better corn and better
hops. At the county and state fairs
there were occasional baby shows
but the whole purpose was to pick out
and reward babies for their beauty and
attractiyeness rather than for their
health and development. In other
words, the baby was simply a side
show for entertainment, ana not taken
seriously. while in every other exhibit
science ruled, and the object was to
cuitiyate knowledge Of the best ways
to produce better products.
Mrs. watts saw that Iowa was neg
lecting her most valuable crop-her
crop OF babies-and the March Won
ans Home Companion contains an ac-
count 81 the results. With the Coop
