Babyhood . five children,as near the age of my wee boy as Icould, from three till six had all come by half-past four,and the earlier arrivals had a goodplay with Babys toys, which hadbeen brought down to the drawing- BABYHOOD. 283 room for the occasion. At half-pastfour I produced a good-sized fancybag—a grab bag—filled with fiftysmall and inexpensive toys, eachwrapped in a paper by itself. I can-not trespass upon too much of Baby-hoods valuable space by describingthe delight of each little one onopening his or her parcel. Some ofthe things were home-made, such asboys reins, canton-flannel animals, dressed dolls, etc., but most werebought. After the bag was empty atray was handed round full of differ-ent-colored fancy bags, nearly filledwith candies, but made quite small sothat they would not hold too the time this was over tea wasready for them—a plain, simple tea,such as children ought only to have:bread and butter and jam, orangejelly, floating islands, snow pudding,. IT is a good thing to use Mellirfs Food in conjunction with the breast 5 it relievesthe mother from excessive strain and also leaves her more free to attend her manyhousehold and social duties. It is well for the babe, for Mellins Food furnisheshim with suitable nutritive elements in a digestible form and promotes the healthy-growth and development of the infant system. It gives him a diet that is the nearestapproach to mothers milk in composition and which is adapted to the infant mothers take Mellins Food themselves while nursing, thereby increasing theflow of milk without the bad effects of alcoholic stimulants. Many mothers give their babies Mellins Food during the day and nurse the childduring the night when necessarv. This is a very convenient and satisfactory the day the mother is free to attend to her numerous duties and the child re-ceives proper nourishment at the proper times. I received sample and books all right, and was much please
