Let us compare, then, the con- ditions affecting the child of the nineties and the modern child, for only by doing can we arrive at the basic entses which make or mar child physical beauty.
In the first plates the most subtle key to beauty is health bi the part of both mother and chill, and should this be hacking in the former before the child is born, it is unlikely that the little one will inherit the loveliness Lorn of geot health. The conditions under which mothers of the last 'erntury lived, were, with regard to hygiene, in no way comparable with those LOW enling Restricting clothes, lack of fresh air and indifferently chosen food on the part of the adúli generation were all lowering to the most healthy of vitalities, ze that it is not surprising that the child- en were frequently characterised by a drabness and weediness of appearance. The individual re- quirements of children were left. very much unconsidered, and fre quently a diet was the 'recog nised order of things for all babica,
Today there is a very different state of affairs. The needs of child. ren are studied more every day, and there have in Inte years sprung up firms who specialise in diet. One of the best known foods is Ovaltine, whose makers hit upon the happy suggestion of combining all naturo's "tanic foods in one preparation. This consists of malt, milk and eggs, ingredients which cannot fail to suit the individual requirements of every child, as it Fresents what eminent dietitians describe ne perfect, food balance. This means, in other words, that

We have only to Jook at photographs of but a few years ago to see how small an attempt was made to inake the best of a plain child and improve au already lovely one through the medium of becoming clothes,
Nowadays, the child is recog nised as being every bit as worthy: "of tilen clothes as its mother, and vo find a state of affairs where the individuality of the child is suited to a particular style of dress, in- stead of the absurd practice of putting all youngsters into clothes of eot pattern.
