HERE is nothing like a good start in the race of life.

No mother can expect that the baby, intrusted to her can grow beautiful and strong unless she is wise in her method of guiding the baby through these first most important months of its life. We have all learned a great lately of the proper schedule which a baby will thrive, and its food and hours of sleep have been well regulated and taken care of, but in the matter of physical culture or the unfolding of the physical structure of the baby many mothers are entirely ignorant of the part in moulding that baby, beautiful maturity. Even the way in which you hold the ohild reacts its sensitive nature. If you let the baby lie for many hours deal on they play into a strong, on Courtship and Marriage 66 EAR MISS VINCENT: « D My girl friend and | are writing to you for ad- vice. We have had several parties and invited our boy friends, but when it comes to asking us to go ut it is not done.

See to it that you watch each movement and allow the baby sufficient time to exercise its little limbs, This does wonders in developing the muscles During the early months of baby- hood the child develops so quickly that you can readily see from day to duy how it improves when you give it systematic exercise, which the t only considers as play.

At the fifth month the weight should be double what it was at birth, and if the baby has been carefully watched up to this time there need be no anxiety about teething fevers or ond summers. sec- There are two things that give the baby a great deal of trouble. The first is plain thirst; a drink of we just er will often guard away a long crying spell; the second is that sufficient ex ercise prevents constipation and its consequent ills. There are charts and pamphlets to guide you in regulating the baby’s food, but 1 want to {mpress upon you regulating the exercis: the need for as well In the illustration on this page you see a baby nine months of age anxious to try his first step. He has learned that he can go quite rapidly creeping on the ground, but an object held out of his reach and he sees that only by standing can he gain it.

Besides placing the hands on the outside of the body and gently massaging the little legs into place, you will find that the baby is greatly strengthened by changing his posi tion so that he rests on his stomach and therefore must raise his head up himself. This strengthens the spine and it 1s surprising to see how soon he will be able to lift himself on his arms as well One thing | want to warn you against, and that is overdoing any exercise with a young child. The moment it reaches beyond the point of play it does the child no good. You only fatigue and strain the body be- yond its ability to endure. Do not allow t © eXeTCISINE to excite the child immediately before putting him to sleep. Sometimes a warm sponge bath before puttin nm to bed will prevent restlessness and cause the baby to fall immediately to sleep. Ignorant parents often hive a habit of playing with the nose and othe features of the baby. 1 you on knew how sensitive these little bone are and how easily they become d figured, you would avoid handlin them with anything but tne softes touch In the Hlustration you sve that the baby's cap has been placed on the head in such a manner that the ea is bent over, If this is repeated done the child goes through life dis figured with protruding ears. This is simply carelessness on the part of the mother. For even if the baby was born with the tendency to pro truding ears, it could be overcome b. wearing a skeleton cap, made espe cially foe this purpose, while it is asleep Just holding an object always out of the range of vision of the little eyes is very liable to cross them in their effort to see the object. Re sure that you hold the object of at traction within easy range of the vision. If it is placed in front you will entertain the baby without strain ing the cords of the eyes. Should the eyes show a slight tendency cross encourage the weak eye by hold ing the object in such a way that the to baby must strengthen the cords of the weaker eye, This, if persisted in and attempted early, will in many cases prevent an operation later on Allowing the baby to use a pacifi ruins the shape‘of the mouth, spoi the natural flow of saliva and is often the cause of enlarged tonsils and ade noids forming later on.
