BABY WEEK.
Baby Week was held in Enfield from 27th to 30th June.
Earlier in the year competitions had been set and advertised.
These were on similar lines to those of last year, and included:—
(1) The best made garment out of new material.
(2) The best made garment out of old material.
(3) The best made knitted garment.
(4) The best darn or patch.
In addition to this, two essay competitions were held. The
first was for mothers, who were asked to write a letter to a friend
describing how they would prepare their home for a confinement.
