I do not mean their moral welfare; that, of course, Is vitally Importnnt. nut what I par ticularly abhor h tho carelessness, amounting almost to cruelty, with which some Ignorant mothers lift their children "Only this mornlnc I was horrified to eo a slatternly woman actually lift her little girl up by ono nrm. It tlicso par. ents could only bo made to realize tho Injury they may Inlllqt, and frequently do Inflict, on little girl babies by this very habit! Ono such stretching may do the child somo harm, but lmaRlno tho spinal curvatures nntl other deformities which may result from continued lifting in this manner! "Boxing the ears of a child, n 'mild' form of punishment meted out to dis obedient 'children, Is also friu(!lit with danger. ,Tho hearing of mnny pormms has been permanently Impaired by this dis play of temper on the part of parents. "Ono often sees a young mother holding- her tiny, fcw-montlis-nld Infant proudly on her lap, allowing tho llttlo ono to Fit up during nn cntlro Journey. Sho Elves no thought to the possible strain on tho llttlo child's back. "And whllo speaking of cars, T deploro tho habit somo motheri have nf giving their children cakes or apples to eat In order to keep them quiet during tho ride.

For whllo miii'1! hns been nnd Is con stantly being written about the baby, tboro nro nlwavs new mothers nnd now babies, and while tin- fundamentals of parenthood do not change, tho scientific enro-taking of tho child Is advancing with tho years. I always feel a pity mixed with con tempt for tho woman who declares that "what was good enough for her mother's babies" will do for her. It Is mothers of this type who resort to soothing syrups for the fretful child, who believe In rock ing tho baby to sleep, who let It suclc nn pacifiers nnd allow every fond nnd ndmlring relative nnd friend to Ulss tho child on Its little mouth.

"No, thank you, Katie," I answered "Perhaps after a whllo, but 1 could not drink It now " , "You say you not here to dinner?' "No, wo nro both dining out," I answered. Then with a sudden tlmught I turned to Dicky. "You are going to Mrs. t'ntler woml'H for dinner, are ou not?" "I suppose ho." he returned grullly. "You earn If 1 go out a llttlo while?
