Cu women with children;the duchess is weighing a baby with hair all combed into one curl along the middle of its head; like a mohawk; behind the scale; a fat-cheeked little girl held by woman. This is funny--the kid being weighed sits playing with a leaf; then looks up at camera with a frown; then rises in a sort of big dish as the duchess puts a weight on the other side. | |
