I;.: V ‘ J. / r <i\ SPOTTS & COMPANY Blanket Is Styled for Baby's Protection New design in hmby blankets that are attached to crib by plastic rinfs eliminates fear that child will be smothered or entangled in the covers. BY EDNA BOLES XTEEPING a baby sale from accidents in the home is not an easy job, as mothers know. Every year there are countless newspaper stories of babies who have smothered in their cribs, despite constant watching. Knowing that this constitutes a major problem for mothers, one manufacturer has produced a baby blanket that cannot slip, slide or tangle around baby. It attaches to the crib by means of plastic rings that fasten to the bars of the bed. While it eliminates all possibilities of smothering, it also keeps the baby completely covered and warm. Made of filled and quilted jer sey which will not shrink, it is moth and mildew proof. It*s also made in wool and cotton or may be obtained in satin comforters. Bibbon bound, the blanket is designed to fit in neatly at each side of the crib and thus pro vide maximum protection and warmth. Mothers will find that they can leave baby for longer periods without worrying. At night they need not get up several times to see if the baby is uncovered.

Chocolate, it was to be. Christmas dinner was finished, and now it was time for dessert. There were four children present, iso we had put four candles on Jesus’ birthday cake, so that each one would have a candle to blow.
