BEAUTIFUL BABIES

Hastings Competition

ENTRIES CLOSE MAY 26 Already a number of entries for the Hastings Plunket Society's “Beautiful Baby Competition” have been received, and it is confidently expected that between now and the closing date, which is to bo May 26, there will be several hundreds. Similar competitions held by branches of the Plunket Society, notably in Wanganui, Dannevirke and Napier, have been immensely successful. and the fact that Hastings is just as generous as any of those towns when public appeals are made, and that Hastings babies are just as healthy and beautiful as any others, and have just as proud parents, should ensure the complete success of the . ...uiug competition. Other centres have raised as much as £3OO in a similar way.

Valuable prizes are being offered for each of the following six classes, ami there is a fee of sixpence payable with each entry:—(a) Photograph of the most beautiful child under six months, (b) photograph of the most beautiful child over six months and under twelve months; (c; photograph of the most beautiful child over twelve months and under two years; (d) photograph of the most beautiful child over two years and under four years; (e) photograph of the most beautiful child over four years and under six years; (f) photograph of the most beautiful twin* under six years.
