Those were times when fashions had not
yet learned to change with such chameleon
like speed. and people did occasionally wear
their old clothes with an unblushing effront-
cry that would be well nigh disgraceful to-
day Silks and satins laces and furbelows
were all Of the costhest description and their
owners were chary of discarding them, or
even OF lightly exposing them to ruin. Emile

purity of her blood somewhat after the man

We have in Pepys' diary most amusing
record Of his disgust at being over persuaded
by his wife to wear his best suit on a certain
threatening May day and how of course it
rained, and all their pleasure was spoiled

found it imperative to dress their wives and
children in imitation finery, and farmers
were even less awake to the exigencies Of
fashionable attire We read of rural couples
placidly wearing their wedding clothes into
their advanced old age, and we are lost in
hopeless speculation as to how they accom-
modated their spreading proportions to the
coats and gowns which presumably had
fitted the comparative slimness Of theiI
youth. With what patient ingenuity did

Farmer Bell did not believe in mental or

One night, the two came home from q tea

with the courage of the meek, opened fire

1t is an easy matter for a child to fall or
for an older person to knock them down
either in play or anger. Often no account is
made Of a fall aside from the immediate
pain. but in a few DAYS, or it may be weeks,
the child begins TO complain of pains here
and there, OF being tired, OF its back aching.
From being active it becomes quiet, rnorose.
irritable; nothing suits it. Don't think the
child is only cross, nor forget that fall it had
upon its back Examine the back carefully,
pressing the finger on each vertebrn separ-
ately Some of them Will probably be sensi-
tive. Another way of examining is, the
child being seated, press quickly, firmly
down with both hands on the shoulders. If
1t causes any pain OF even bad feeling con-
suit the best doctor in reach. See that the
child is kept of Its feet as much as possible
and in reclining position You thus take the
weight off from the infiamed part of the
spinal column and possibly few weeks Of
confinement in bed will enable the parts to
recover without daforInity. This disease,
Potts disease by name, is often not noticed
until there Is quite marked curvature of the
spine.
Hip disease is another very common cause
of deformity and untold suffering 1t is
mentioned here only that mothers may know
the first signs and often have the complaint
arrested in the first stage before deformity

delicate children or children with scrofulous
tendencies 1t may begin in infancy, but not
usually untH the child walks, nor after the
age Of maturing is reached 1t may result
from some injury, or, 50 far as known cause
Is concerned, it may just come, like Topsy
In the beginning, in the usual form, the
hip is not complained of at all; it is the knee
that ofYends When standing the child rests
the toes Of the affected limb on the foot of
the well limb They lie on the other side
and avoid long walks and all active games.
These symptoms seem very slight and too
often even q severe leg ache is attributed to
growing pains Oh, those growing pains!
When child complains as above, have him
extend the limb, holding the knees #, strike
the sole of the foot sharply, squarsly. II

Between the brisk young woman who can
dawn upon the breakfast table neatly and
completely dressed in ten minutes after her
eyelids have opened to the light of new
day, and the leisurely damsel who requires
forty five minutes or an hour for the same
operation, there is whole gamut of fem
mine variations. The close observer of these
varying types of fair dressers finds each pos
sessed of interest There is the honest, candid
girl, who confesses that it takes an hour to
assume the raiment of the day and to do full
Justice to the mysteries of the dressing
bureau and the bath She takes her hour,
and no one expects better things There Is

is the fair one whose voice cheeriiy rings out
