A Careless Nurse. 65

This is a pretty picture for our screen, and
shows us a pretty little girl, and a pretty baby
leg and foot sticking up out of the cot. Still, I
must say, I should not like my little child to be
rocked as carelessly as that little girl is rocking
her baby brother. Why, she turns her back to
him, and goes on rock, rock, rocking away, with

 

her foot on the rockers, without looking at him
at all. She might rock the baby out of the cot
without being any the wiser. Generaily, I think,
little girls take great care of their baby brothers
and sisters. I have seen poor little girls in the
street staggering along under the weight of a
baby almost as big as themselves ; and all the
time as careful of it as the mother could be.
