BABY CARRIER,

(From Mrs. E. L. S.. Cheuy ChaseJ
Was so pleased to see the in
quiry about the baby carrier that
appeared in your very fine RICH
recently. because it is a subject
that is near and dear to my heart,
and I believe that I can give
r. L. o. the information desired.
Several years ago when my
Oldest children were small, I
found it very difficult to navigate
with them and my parcels while
shopping in the congested down.
town area. It would have taken
an octopus to hold their hands,
carry bundles and get into my
purse. The thought occurred to
me that surely would be in
fix If I also had a baby in arms
in addition to my other impedi-
menta. The upshot of that dis
quieting thought was I designed
baby carrier so that when my
third child came along I was all
set. This carrier allows the
mother to shop comfortably with
both hands free to get into her
purse. carry a shopping bag and
hold toddler's hand. It is very
handy for those mothers who ride
streetcars or buses, for they wear
their baby as easily as a pocket
book and can board a streetcar
or bus with no trouble at all. The
baby remains in the carrier and
rests comfortably on the mothers
lap without any adjustments or
straps. For those who have their
own cars this carrier can be con-
verted into splendid car seat by
the addition of two brackets de-
signed especially for the purpose.
1t is a very nice looking COL
lapsable, portable piece of baby
equipment. You can hang it on
door knob and keep baby clean
while you are dressing to go
shopping or hang it on a tree
while you are picnicking. It fits in
most highchairs and makes a
wonderful lining for the shopping
baskets that are designed for
babies.
1t is big help to mothers who
have to take train trips and find
it difficult to get porters. This
baby carrier has been very
popular in Washington. where it
was first introduced on the
market. 1t is sold at three of
the larger department stores, and
in case they are out of them at
the present time, have patience,
for a new supply of an improved
variety will be forthcoming soon.
fFrom Mrs. J. L. M, Vienna.)
To r. L. O., Washington: I am
familiar with only one type of
carrying seat and that is the one
made in Australia. 1t is worn
over the shoulder with the seat
at hip level. The straps are
broad to prevent cuddling and
there is support for baby's back.
He can either straddle your hip
or have both feet in front. This.
leaves both hands free, also.
But: 1t has made my shoulder
ache miserably and my back ditto.
If the child is small he's a dead
weight and If old enough to be
1nquisitive he's a wiggle worm.
Opinions may differ, but now
my son goes on wheels.

=Readers' Clearing Houses
McGUFFEY'S READERS.

fFron, Mrs. r. G. H., Arlington.)
I saw the request in a recent
Star and am more than glad to
send the information about the
McGuffey's Readers. Your men,
ton. Mrs. w. D. w., of your
mothers quoting from these
readers certainly did strike a re-
sponsive chord in me, for all my
life have heard my dad do the
same, and my brother and I
learned to read from them before
we were ever started to school.
My father grew up in Indiana,
studied from the McGuffey's, then
when he was 10 he began teach
ing from them (1899). He has
dozens Of original editions of Nc
Guffey's. for he has a hobby of
collecting them for the last 20
years or so. He now lives in
Tennessee and only retired from
his years of teaching about three
years ago. Whenever I spot a
query for certain poem in the
RCH. If it sounds at all familiar,
I reach for the McGuffey have
and almost always find it. I have
answered dozens of queries, for
each time I send in q poem I get
lots of letters. most from people
who used the readers years ago
and are agreeably surprised to
know they are still obtainable. I
have really enjoyed answering all
such inquiries and hope your
mother will get a lot of pleasure
out of renewing her acquaintance,
as it were, with these wonderful
little books. The address of the
publishing house is the American
Book Co.. Cincinnati, Ohio.
I would suggest that you write
them for lists and prices, as I
haven't ordered any in quite a
while. but the last list I have
shows that they have available all
Of the readers, primer through the
sixth reader, and are very reason
ably priced. I presume that they
are still the same, ranging from
about IS to 10 cents to $1.25,
although these days one never
knows. Also, I would suggest that
since you are interested in the
time edition, you ask for the
Eclectic Series. as there are some
later editions which aren't nearly
so good as the older series which
was in use during the 80s and
90s. If there is any additional
information which I can give you,
please feel free to let me know,
and if can't help you, I will
write to dad and ask him. He is
always glad when write him
about hearing from folks who love
the old readers.

powders, but the same treatment

put some small plants out very
late this year, due to having to
transplant some lilies which were
crowding the bed. After moving
them I found my bed was denuded
to the point of nothing left to
bloom till mum time. I put out
geraniums, ageratum, a few sickly
snapdragons and about six Ian
tana plants, the reddish yellow
ones and pure yellows. The bed
filled out in about three weeks,
with the lantana leading them.
1t is lovely to look at and can be
used as a cut flower though it
tends to shed fairly soon. I in

now on, for nothing could have
