Bevans, writes the following story and advice in a recent issue of a paper: "It was just the thing to catch a baby's eye. Someone took it out of a jar of bonbons on the table and ve it to her. It was a fat, heart- ped chocolate wrapped in bright ved tinfoil, as many of the foreign chocolates are. The light from the fire caught it, and it gleamed. "The baby was sitting on a com- fortable lap, and we were sitting on the floor in front of her. When she dropped the fat, red heart candy the interested boy who sat at her feet crawled under the sofa, recaptured it for her, and perched it on the arm of the chair, X "The baby reached for it and acci- dentally pushed it to the floor. It rolled and rolled and another grovel- ling under the sofa took place before it was restored to the arm of the chair again, The next times the baby reached for it she deliberately pushed it off the arm of the chair so it would fall. ' Of course we all laughed. "Again the boy put it back, and again the fat hand pushed it off, At this the baby's young friend, whose face was near hers laughed aloud. The baby looked at him hard a mo- ment--then laughed her toothless laugh, Now when the heart was re- stored she pushed it off with added vim and looked immediately into the boy's face to laugh with him, "Aren't we having fun!" she seem- ed to say. Again and again this hap- ened, with her eyes quickly seeking is face for the companionable laugh, "Things like these, aside from diet, sleep and "fresh air, are food and drink to a baby. Play, laughing with someone, sympathetic intercourse -- these are not decorations but spirits ual necessities in the development of a child all inextricably, mysteriously tied up with his physical develop ment, "There is a great difference be tween, the babies who live in this ate mosphere and the babies who don't. Of course, it was all observed offi. cially some time ago by doctors in caring for babies in baby hospitals or institutions, They were puzzled be- cause with the most approved care, sun rooms, studied routines and diets, the babies did not thrive, At last it was forced into their consciousness that something more was needed than physical care, First and foremost, the play instinct was starved, and simultaneously their bodies wilted, "I know of a few cases where ba- bies in families were treated about as one in a home might be, One in particular, as far as I could perceive, never was riven the spontaneous in- terest, the warm expression of affec- tion, the baby play that most mothers and fathers instinctively have for their children. It was fed, bathed, slept, put in a play yard for hours at a time away from the house, and treated very much like a form of veg- etable life, "And I assure you there was some- thing lacking in that little child, It wasn't an only child--it was one of several, I think the mother must have had an idea that bab 'ies didn't begin to be individual human beings until they could walk and talk or something of the sort. And, of course, it was the easier way--vegetables are much less demanding than sentient beings. "All along the line there is this need of a child for the interest and responsiveness of his parents, (And, of course, you know I'm not talking + Easter + LET JEWELLERY ADD THE FINISHING TOUCH Sold in Oshawa by D.

"This is not to say that the baby must not have his long hours of quiet, of sleep, his contented quiet times, It is not to say that he must be con- stantly stimulated. It is not to say that the walking and talking child or the threes and fours can't play eith- er quietly together, or independently alone. But it is to say that the baby and the little child thrive on interest and response. They develop in a bal- lanced, all around way under it. It quickens them, , "So, in following routine with your baby, don't become mechanical, even with your little baby. And when your very young boy or girl calls, 'Mud- der, see the house I've built, or 'Mud- der, come quick and look at Ted- dy, or 'Daddy, come to the win- dow and see my Eskimo house,' real- ize that all fun can't be thoroughly enjoyed or accomplishment savored alone, and dry your J0ApY hands or snatch the bacon off the stove or leave your newspaper to give the sat- biving response that means so much to a child, "Babies and children are not so dif- ferent from adults, Triumphs, laugh- ter, sorrow, experiences, need to be shared."
