Extreme fullncss is now used only in

Paris, dresses without any semblance
of trimming on either the waist or the
skirt. One of the Partisan fancies is

ly at the waist and forming series Of
fiuted plaits at the edge.
The most conspicuous feature of the
present fashions is the use of lace,
which is introduced in every imagin-
able manner in every sort of s. gown.
Whether the dress is black, white or
colored, silk or gauze, there is plenti-
full supply of this popular trimming.
Chiffon comes next in popularity and is
used in variety of ways When made
over changeable silk it is an ideal
gown.
A lace-trimmed seaside costume is
made of soft wool goods diagonally
striped with blue and red. The skirt
Is ornamented with wide redsribbon

looped knot on the right side. The

trimmed with red ribbon and black |

DON'T WAKE THE BABY.
The Habit Of Sleep should q Encouraged
In Infants,

| In Infants.
1t is one of the regular customs oil
many households to take the new baby
from crib or bed and exhibited it tc
the admiring visitor. This is bad
practice all persons who have reached
years of discretion ought certainly to
know, but this fact seems tO have very
little weight in the minds either of the
caller or of the proud and happy
parents, who seem never to weary.6pi
putting the new arrival on dress-parade
and sounding its praises. That many
a baby has been exhibited to death is a
fact well known to doctors and expert
enced nurses, but it is usually their
policy to keep silent, as any restriction
of this sort is apt to be resented by
fond parents.
No child should ever be reused from
sleep to be shown to anybody unless
it be the doctor, and the case is desper-
ate. To do so is to lay the foundation
for restlessness, bad temper and many
Of the ills that infancy is heir to. 1t is
wise to encourage child to sleep all it
will, no matter how much that may be.
In strictly healthy condition the lit
tie one sleeps almost all the time,
rousing itself enough to be fed, when, if
there is no reason for being disturbed,
it will usually drop off to sleep again.
This habit may be encouraged, and the
child may sleep longer if care is taken to
change its position without awakening
it. This may be done by very eau
tiously drawing the blanket on which
it sleeps slightly toward one side of the
crib, then raising gently with one hand
while the other is placed on the baby's
chest; in this way it may be turned
upon the other side without rousinp it.
After while it will get accustomed to
being turned, when it will usually in
dulge in one very long drawn breath
and settle down as contentedly as pos
sibly to finish its nap. Children of all
ages should sleep until they waken Of
their own accord. Neither breakfast
nor anything else is as important to
them as to sleep and grow. If one has
any curiosity to study the practical
working of this, let him try few times
to do something with child that has
just been reused from its slumbers. A
more unmanageable. uncomfortable
creature one would go long way to
find. From infancy to age, sleep is
most important part of life; and if more
were given to when, where
and how we sleep, there would be
fewer nervous invalids, fewer bad tenn
pers and more bright eyes, stalwart
forms and pleasant facea-N. Y.

Presently look of pain fitted across

A PARADOX OF THE POLE.


Queer Things About That Imaginary spo
to the North of Us.
At the north pole there is only ont
direction-south. On could go south il
as many ways as there are points on the
compass card, but every one of these
ways is southeast and west have van
ished The hour of the day at the pole
is paradoxical conception, for tina,
point is the meeting place of every me
ridian and the time of all holds good, sc
that it is always any hour one cares te
mention. Unpunctuality is hence inn
possible-but the question grows com
pick, and its practical solution concerns
few.
No one needs to go to the pole to dis
cover all that makes that point differ
ent from any other point of the sur
face. But the whole polar regions are
full of unknown things, which every
Arctic explorer of the right stamp
looks forward to finding And the re-
ward he looks forward,to most is the
approval of the few who understand
and love knowledge for its own sake,
rather than the noisy applause of the
crowd who would cheer him. after all,
much as they cheer a winning prize
fighter, or race horse, or political cam
didate.
The difficulties that make the quest of
the pole SO arduous have been discovered
by slow degrees 1t is marvellous how
soon nearly the full limits of north
ward attainment were reached. In
1896 Barents discovered Spitzbergen in
about 70 degrees north; in ITO Hudson
reached so degrees; in 1927 Parry, by
sledging ON the ice when his ship be-
came fast, succeeded in touching 50
degrees and As minutes Since then all
the enormous resources of modern
science-steam, electricity, preserved
foods and the experience of centuries
have only enabled forty miles of addi-
tional poleward advance to be made.
The map gives fair idea Of the form
of the Arctic regions, and remember
ing that the circle marked so degrees
distant 700 miles from the pole, the
reader can realize the distance involved.
The Arctic basin, occupied by the Arc
tic sea, is ringed in by land; the north
ern coasts of America, Europe and Asia,
forming roughly circular boundary,
broken by three well-marked channels
communicating with the ocean. Beh-
ring Strait, between America and Asia
is the narrowcst- Baffin bay between
America and Greenland is wider,
branching into a number Of ice blocked
sounds to the westward, and tapcring
OF into Smith sound in the northeast.
The widest channel of the three lies
between Greenland and Europe, and
this Is bisected just south Of so deg rees
north by the island group Of Spitzber-
gen.-McClure's Magazine.
