Hints to Young Mothers.

One reason why so many young
mothers do not look so tidy and attract
i've as il is the bounden duty of all
m TO look, is that they do not ac-
cept the inevitable with the proper
spirit, and then adapt themselves to
it For instance, it is impossible to care
for a baby as it should be cared for, and
yet to wear as good address, as you would
if you were simply sitting down TO do
fancy work. The usual dress when en-
gagged in this occupation should be of
some material hat will bear sponging;
then, s sponge and a bottle of diluted
ammonia should be kept near at hand.
OF aprons there should be al unfailing
supply, Of different sizes and degrees.
Do not fail to have at least two of the
same length o. your dress, and of two
full breadths. A white one of tins
style. trimmed all around with scarlet
machine embroidery, is actually hecom-
ing to most women, and viii save its
cost many times over by preserving tie
dress beneath. Clothe yourself suit
ably, and then enjoy rocking your baby
All other pleasures you may hope TO
have repeated, but the JOY of being the
mother of a baby is one which may be
yours but once, and hat for so short a
time that it will seem almost dreamlike
in a very few years.-N. Y. Post.
