On Bed TO Kick and stretch.
Il have come to the time when the
question OF such exercise as crawling and
walking are important. For long time
have put Elsie, after undressing her in
the evening, on the bed to kick and play
IL is remarkable how she enjoys this and
how 1t makes her just tired enough TO go
right to sleep after nursing. In addition,
she Is crawling quite bit and learning
to balance too. We are not encouraging
her in this; In fact. the advise seems to
be to discourage early walking, not only
on account of the soft long bones, that
might bend too much, but on account OF
the feet themselves.
Speaking OF the feet brings us to the
question of shoes. Have you ever no.
ticed with what pride mothers put pink
or blue shoes on their babies, when three
or four months old? 1t is absurd, be-
cause they cannot use shoes for months
and their little pink toes are very much
prettier than any fancy shoes, and 50
much more free when uncovered. Shoes
should not be worn until a baby is ready
to walk and then broad-toed shoes, made
in good shape, should be worn.
"A baby should have very little change
from his home surroundings the first
year. The quieter he is kept, away from
noises, street dust and contact with peo-
pie, the better of his whole physical
well-being. Your friend,
