"BABY LASCELLES"
The only grandchild of tho King and the heir to an immense fortune, is being reared in the simplest fashion and in a manner calculated to make him a hardy boy. > : . The windows of the night nursery at Goldesborough Hall and at Chesterfield House are kept open day and night, except in very severe weather, and even in the coldest weather one of the windows is always kept partially open at night. The Princess Mary, like the Queen, is a firm believer in the value of the open air for babies and Master, Harry Lasceiles has, since he was a month old, spent at least four hours a day in the open air in fine weather, and during the summer months has been usually for ten hours a day in the open air. He has had the good fortune to escape from an evil that often falls upon the children of the wealthy. He has never been burdened with a superabundance of clothes.
A distinguished physician a little while ago said that in his opinion many of the babies of the well-to-do and comfortable classes often suffer 1 torture owing to the superfluous and unnecessary quantity of clothes that they were made to wear. Though the King's grandson has two nurses to look after him he is in the constant care of his mother.
