The Baby Show.
Decidedly the moat charming and
attractive entertainment ol the sea
son ?>a the babv show oh last
Friday afternoon, wheri about 30 1
of the loveliest, sweetest moal beau
tiful little darlings in their deefka
ted carriages or holding to tw^
hands of their fair nurties formed a
proceaslou which elicited the en
thusiaatic admiration of the nutu-ft
hers of citizens who bud H?scmbIo?|
on the large public square.
When we think of f.ho trials 0/
the judges we wonder that thoj
did not award a prize to oaoh beau
liful baby and to every lovely nurse.
There was a tie between little IJes
t>ie Lindsay and Mrs. P. T. Ville
piguo's little Kmmn, and after
much discussion the prize for the
prettiest, was awarded to Llm latter
who certainly deserved it as did
20 others. Mrs. VV. D. Boy kin's
baby, ]<.1a, was adjudged the finest,
and she certainly was one of the
very prottiest too*
The carriages were ail so elabor
ately and exquisitely deoorated thatj
to mention onevspecially would but)
be doing injustioo to the others.
Still the j.udges decided that?the|
most elaborate in conception and
design woa that of Mrs Roland1
Good ale's "three little confederate*"
The Utile girl was in a chariot, of
grey and gold, ydrawn by her t#p
tytle brothers ih confedeVate Gefle
ralb' uniform?, even to the perfect
minature hats with long plumes, as
worn by Lee and Jackson at Ctoe
beginning of the civil waf,
One of the loveliest of the lit
tle girls arrayed in pink even to]
shoes and stockings looked so bright
nr.d lovefy 'hat so many < jaculaltooaj
of admiration were made that the
next day when she saw one of the]
judges she enquired quite innocent*
iy why they had not given her the
f prize because everybody tocher
she ought to havtf' it. Another lit
tle darling of four years and Iqng
tlixen curls, arrayed in white ac
cordion pleated organdie and satin
ribbont wliito slippers, and looking
out from the most wondrously
beautiful blue eyes, said she did
not want a prize because it was for |
a liny baby.
So after all there waa nut one
spark of jealousy in these precious
children's hearts aud they were as
happy as a choir of little angels,
One little gill beautifully golten-up
trundled her big doll iu an elabor
ately dccoratcd baby carriage.
It was just too oute to see the
cooing satisfaction of the babies as
if they understood it all. It i? a
pity to writy ftqy description of it
at ail for tJue artistic work of tho
mothers an\l the bbauty of the chil
dren were \ certainly beyond any
word painting,
The sweet. girls,
Cam chra*s repre
sentative l?elles, were 4^oo*a wee t for
any thing,1 " and the general opin
ion was that each of them deserved
a premium as well as did the tiny
