Will you be guilty of last minute decision shopping, choos ing from picked over stock? Better keep ycur eyes glued to the Plattsmouth Journal ads and make a mental note now of what mother would like aud what you can afford. If -you start counting all the "taken for granted favors" Mom cast your way, all the times she kissed your wounds, nursed you aver. in the nursery from clothes to carriage. But what a pity .it is when parents or grandparents are willing to - lay out a - wad of money for baby's fancy duds. and then put the poor innocent darl ing into a crib and mattress that "Mommie used when,; she was a baby!" Most infants are unsophisti cated . . . They don't care what they look like, but they do care how they feel. It is foolish to splurge on clothes 'and save on comfort. Make sure baby's crib is com fortable and safe . . . The side bars stay up despite jarring and jiggling ... Be certain the mat tress is clean, level, firm and resilient. 1 Remember, if you skimp on babv's sleeping equipment to make her a clothes horse . She -may turn out to be an old nag!
