Bathing the baby is n matter OF
the greatest Importance. II is a
daily morning task which consumes

To make the bath as comfort
able and pleasant as possible the
water, the soap. and the towels arc
all selected with much care Only
the softest towels and the mildest
soap should be used on the baby's
delicate skin. A pure, white, mild
and unperfumed soap Of unques-
toned purity is the most satisfac-
tory for the purI )se.
