when we assembled for our fort
nightly baby weighing last week,
which is being held at the home of
Mrs. Arthur Hale. A Christmas tree
prettily trimmed with different col

able baby toys,
After the serious business of
weighing was over and we had COM

last weight and found all but one
had gained its proper share, the tree
was untrimmed and each baby given
it's share of the spoil. Such a rat

The older babies were allowed to
lie or sit on the floor to play while
