That malnutrition in the homes of the wealthy is a problem is not lightly believed in the classes below. But it is so asserted by Hiss Steadc, an Eng lish nurse who has, during twenty-seven years, elaborated a diet system for the children of the rich, who are not naturally fed, and whose highly-paid nurses have not always mastered the ABC of their craft. Miss Steade has made a name in the tipper circles of England, being called in where children do Jot thrive in these luxurious surroundings. Her system includes, of course, great simplicity of life and close inspection and care of food. Over three hundred V>f the "youthful "greats have been brought up on this system, and she now is starting a baby institute for her little patients. "No child is born with a bad digestion," she says, with a fine courage. Her first idea, of course, is to advocate natural feeding wherever possible; and in other respects her system seems remarkably like that taught by our own Plunket Society.
