on lust what she would do
/ and Just how she would bring
up her baby if she had at her dis
posal all the money she could posi-
bly, use for the purpose.
Most mothers, no doubt, have mag
ined what they would regard as the
ideal nursery. the ideal toys. the ideal
diet which would give the child
perfect start in life.
There Is one baby in the world who
actually has lavished upon him all
that money can buy. He has his
environment created for him by a
mother who has only to give COM
mands to have the finest that modern
science provides brought to the nur-
sery.
This baby is Master Lascelles. the
grandchild of the King Of England.
1t was my good fortune and privt-
lege to spend many weeks in Colds
borough Hall, during which every OPP
portunity was given me to observe in
minutest detail everything connected
with the upbringing of the royal baby.
| am sure that even person living In
the house could not have discovered
in such completeness all about the
intimacies Of the royal nursery had
not Princess Mary. mother of the
fortunate child, been so gracious ana
so definitely helpful as she was TO me.
! am quite certain that there IS not
a detail of the routine that is not
known to me ! want 70 describe as
fully and clearly as i can just how
royal baby. doubly fortunate in hav-
Ing mother who is exceptionally
conscientious and efficient in her
home, is reared.
Princess Mary has won the love
of all the mothers in Goldsborough
village by the interest she takes in
their children as we'll as her own.
| They have found her a veritable well
of information and they come to her
| for advice about everything concern
! ing their little ones
The children of Goldsborough are
! now being brought up, as far as pos
| sible, on the same lines as the little
master is being brought up and there
| is a marked betterment in the health
! of the youngsters.
| The poor women of the country
| side imagined that princess baby
would live on cakes and sweets and
! other goodies" Their surprise was
great when they found that Master
| La scelles never tasted such luXuries.
Just fancy, exclaimed one poor
laborer's wife, the little master has
never had bit of cake or a drink
of tea in his life. and | always gave
my baby beer until the princess told
me il was bad. SO l just give him
milk and eggs now. the same as the
little master.
II seems to me that If any woman
in the world should be qualified to
rear her child in way that would
represent the utmost in efficiency il
should be Princess Mary. For that
reason surely her story must be of
profound interest and perhaps of great
value to other mothers not so en-
viably placed as she.

DRINCESS MARY, though it may
l. not be generally known, is a fully
trained children's hospital nurse. She
put in her three full years of train
ing at the London Hospital for Sick
Children, on Great Ormond street.
Thus, purely from a technical
standpoint, she may be considered
an authority on child welfare.
And l want to tell how she has
arranged everything in the nursery
of the royal child so that even the
physica surroundings will play their
part in shaping the tender little mind.
I want to tell why his toys are Sc
lected according to a, rigorous and
wise theory as to what small child
should have near him constantly. /
| want TO describe the routine of his
! day, which never varies, because the
! princess believes that regularity, even
| in infancy, is the root of all good
| habits. / shall describe his scrupu-
lousy superintended diet, his clothes,
| his exercise" and all the tiny things
| that are done each day to prevent
| his becoming spoiled by the luxuries
