BAXTER, LIARTHA Such a toddler! Always stumbling along but always getting there just the same. She never could, like all the other babies, jump rope or hang by her toes from a point in mid-air, or turn somersaults backwards, or jump through the rings while riding horseback. However, she knew her alphabet better than the others, and often made bright little speeches that delighted her friends. BELT, ALICE Poor Alice! Our babies have had many tumbles in their lives, out of their high chairs or cribs, or down the back stairs, but a worse accident than any of these was Alice,s fate. It seems that one day while no one was looking, the poor, unoffending babe fell in love. It is feared that she will never recover from the shock, but will suffer from an affection of the heart all through her life. BENSONy MILLIE Little Millie was our baby, Grown up Millie is a mermaid, But shels grown so terrible fast, And we're sorry that ltis so, That we scarcely now can reconcile For a mermaidls not permitted The present with the past. Inhthis famous baby show. 24

Baby Parade of Nineteen-Three. tAs Reported by a Committee from NineteaneThreeJ Q BABY SHOWS ARE BECOMING VERY POPULAR IN THESE DAYS, AND MR. BRADLEY, OF ASBURY PARK FAME, IN THE TRUE SPIRIT OF ENTERPRISE, DECIDED TO ORGANIZE A SHOW IN BALTIMORE FOR 1903t BECAUSE OF THE UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF PROMISXNG CHILDREN WHO, HE THOUGHT, MIGHT BE PREVAILED UPON TO ENROLL. THE SUCCESS OF HIS ATTEMPT IS NOW PROVED BEYOND A DOUBT. ABERCRODIBIE. MARY As she sits in her little carriage, judicially viewing the scene around her, one would not at first discover the signs of true genius. But there is not one for whom we can more coutidently predict greatness. She loves to play with paper, pens and ink, and she serenely asserts that thC unreadable scrawls she produces are full of meaning; so we hail the illegibility with joy and watch for other signs of genius. ACKERMAN, CLAIRE As this bright baby passed by in her Carriage she charmed everybody by her cheerful giggIESeshe was so easily tickled that the mere pointing of one,s finger at her set her off, and it was quite unnecessary to say, tt Now laugh for the ladies, ClaireW 23

BIXLER, ESTHER Little Essie was the picture of domestic comfort as she was Wheeled along, hugging with both arms a prettily dressed doll to Which she was talking affectionately. She makes all its clothes herself, though so young, and they always combine taste and neatness. She has been fed on con- densed milk, and it was as a consequence of this that she received a prize for her plumpness. BRIGGS, EDA W'hen a certain worthy body of men and women called tt The Faculty H came to view the parade they one and all smiled sweetly upon this promising infant. They nodded their heads and predicted that that child would amount to something in the world. In fact, although Eda is a rather unobtrusive infant, it takes no one Very long to discover that there is most decidedly tt something doing in her little brain. BROWN, ELIZABETH tAdOptedJ Have you ever sat and listened to the college babe Who talks? Oh, her tongue. it is hung, on its lubricated hinges; And it gallops, and it trots, and it canters, and it walks, Like a Texas bronco pony through a field of sorghum stalks.
