When William came to the laolatlon ward, he had no clothes. The nurses made him diapers, and
nighties, and knitted aorks. and other garments of infancy.
They were too buey to pay much attention to him. He waa pretty sick. He still Is thin and puny
and a little listless BUT HE HAS NEVER CRIED HE COUNTS HIS FINGERS BY THE HOUR.
When It Is pe:mltted one of his 29 busy mothers to visit him, he stops counting his fingers.
There comes Into his patient eyes a quick look of gladneas. He laughs and plays peek-a-boo behind
his handa.
The matron was as scientific as any doctor. But when she gave me her well
considered opinion of William, she did nit speak as a scientist. She gathered
William in her arms, and kissed him. And William laughed and returned the
kiss—a slobbery salute.
"He's more mine than the nurses'," said the matron, jealously. "I'm mother
in-chief. We're going to keep him always. He's the best baby in the world!"

Discuss the Latest Styles
It is n two to one bet that they have gotten their
information from reading the ads. That is one of the
most interesting functions of the" advertising columns,
especially to the ladies. They portray fashion's
latest dictates, not only b\ description but by actual
pictures, drawings, photographs, etc. The careful
reader of the ads in The Star is sure to be right up
to the minute in styles, because Seattle's best stores
are liberal users of space in this paper, and in no city
will be found more progressive stores or more up
to the minute stocks of merchandise than are to be
found in Seattle.
