Judging Girl Rabies.
Last, but not least on the program
of the Better Babies Contest, which Is
being held out at Wawaset Park all
this week. comes the announcement
that today is girls day there. There
means that only girls will be admitted
to the classes today, and they must be
between the ages Of two and three
years.
It was an attractive lot of young
sters that gathered under the Better
Babies tent this morning and every
one of them seemed to be aware OF the
vast importance and notice that she
was creating. Most of them brought
their dolls or woolly make-believe pets
with them, and had the time of their
little lives singing them around by
an arm, leg or tail, as the case may be,
while others found much delight IN
chewing the noses and ears Of these
same dilapidated pets or licking the
paint off of dollie's cheeks when not
swallowing some Of the sawdust, that
helps TO make poor dollie a thing OF
such beauty.
It was all very interesting-No the
baby girls especially, and they missed
not one single, solitary detail OF any
thing within the tent, that is If they
could in any way at all reach It, and
ones entrance 10 the tent was imme-
diately greeted by a silent, innocent and
trusting stare of pair after pair OF big
round baby eyes.
Even the entrance of the doctors fail
ed to impress any distrust on their lit
tie minds as they continued to crow,
and pull and literally haul at every
thing within reach, and refused abso-
luteiy to sit down and be ladylike and
dignfed.
Possibly no one gets as much real fun
ont of the whole proceeding as does
Miss Sarah Messerole of Trenton, n. Jr
who is out at the tent this week giving
the mental test for each baby. She de-
clares her work to be the most fasci-
mating in all the world and seems to
think that baby minds are decidedly
worth testing. Judging from Miss
Messerole's appearance and from what
Il she saws about it, one can see it musi
H be radiant work.
H The awards for the contest can moi
II be made public at once, as each report
Y of each child has TO be duly considered
and passed upon before the COMMITTEES
: can come to any decisions as to th
prize winners.
