MATERNITY BED IN HOSPITAL.
Generous Provision for Patients by Ke-

Generous Provision for Patients by Ke-
nosha Woman s Club. One Father Irate
-.'Only Girl Babies from Hospitals. -
She was the first Italian patient who
had been persuaded to occupy the ma
maternity bed provided in the Keno
sha hospital by the Kenesha Women S
Club. Efforts to interest other Italian
mothers had failed because they wish
ed their babies cared for after the
custom of their native country.
All went well until the fifth day,
when she insisted on being taken home.
Mrs. Marshall Nidey, visitor for the
Associated Charities. whe had been
instrumental in sending the woman to
the hospital, asked the cause of dissat-
isfactien.
"No can eat--no can Sleep said
the patient. ~ miss-a da macaron.
No lika Aemrican-a cook. Da. win
dow eeza wide-a OPP, and ANA cold -
On the promise that the menu would
include macaroni at least once day,
and that an extra blanket would be
provided, she was induced to remain
another week. Otherwise, she was well
pleased with hospital care, although
her baby was not wrapped in swaddling
clothes, Italian style. Italian babies
for their first six weeks are wrapped
like mummies in long winding sheets,
with arms and legs tightly bound so
that the little ones twill grow
straight" according to Italian belief.
Many interesting patients occupy
the bed that is supported by Kenosha
society women. The Women's Club,
after hearing Miss Louise Cottrell tell
Of the work Of the Associated Charities,
asked what it could do that would help
most, and the maternity bed was the
result.
For some time previous, the Catho-
lie Women's Club had been providing
complete layettes for infants whose
wardrobes were scanty. Therefore, the
maternity bed served to round out a
splendid work which these club women
are doing to have Kenosha babies well
clother and well taken care of. The
layettes are made up by the members,
and include tiny shirts and bands, pet
ticoats, dresses, soap and powder and
all the things that go to make baby
sweet and clean.
Not long ago Miss Timme, of the
Associated Charities, begged a Slavish
woman, mother of four girls, to oc-
cupy the bed. The woman did not
seem willing, so no preparations were
made. Then, after midnight one night
Miss Timme was routed out of bed
and asked if Mrs. B. was charity pa
tient. She was In the hospital await
ing the stork s arrival, and had taken
everything for granted. Miss Timme
made the necessary arrangements with
the hospital, and all went well. But
when a fifth daughter was born the
father was irate. No more hospitals
for himi No good-only brought girl
babiesl
However, on the whole the bed and
hospital service are greatly appreciated
by women unable to afford these lux
uries. The clubwomen, together with
the Associated Charities, have sup
piled great need, and are doing much
to assure better babies and happier mo-
theirs in Kenosha.

of khaki to the color scheme. Eager
