BABY IN THE WASH.

LAUNDRY-GIRL’S LUCKY DIS COVBRY

NEW YORK

Girls sorting out bundles of laundry which had just come in to be washed in Detroit, Michigan, found a three-months-old sleeping baby girl wrapped up in some sheets just in time to prevent the child suffering a frightful death in the boiling water. The babe, a daughter of Mrs. George Coles, living in the west end of the city, was discovered by its mother to be missing a few minutes after the laundry-driver had left the house. The distracted mother, believing the child had been kidnapped, promptly notified the police. While she was still describing the case over the telephone a laundry wagon came dashing down the street bringing back the missing baby, whiclT had not even awakened! The child was identified by the marks on its clothing.
