EXHIBITION BABY SHOW.
I Sir, — ?s a shame no prize is offered at the Exhibition Baby Show for children between the ages of one and four years. iAs it is called a baby show, whv are I babies of that age excluded and,children of seven given a' chance? Also how ridiculous to give prizes to the "prettiest" boys. Any sensible mother would rather have a fine, healthy, brown-faced boy than a weakling with a delicate complexion and long curls. " Yet these are probably the kind of boys who will gain the prizes. I hope there will be another show and that healthy well-nourished sturdy boys will be given a chance, no matter what their faces are like, for those are the kind of boys that are needed in New Zealand - A Mother.
