gradually spread to the neighboring

Two sisters wore accordion-plaited
skirts of black muslin with belts and

Pale gray holland, with turquoise

NURSERY HYGIENE.
The Room Set Apart for Children Should
BE Sunny aod Dry.

| BE Sunny and Dry.
The room especially set apart for the
children of the family should be the
best-aired, the sunniest and the driest
| IN the house. AT the same time it should
be SO situated as to be kept at tenn
perature as nearly uniform as possible
AS general thing it should be on the
south side of the house. Any excess of
sunlight, if such exists, can be easily
controlled by shades.
Since the nursery is, as rule, occu-
pied both night and day, it should be as
large as possible, to facilitate a thor
ough supply of fresh air.
Considerations of air, sunlight and
cleanliness should be paramount. and
all questions of decoration should be
everything should be simple in con-
struction.
In all but exceptional cases the nur-
sery is the scene. at some time or other,
of one or more of the diseases incident
to childhood. On this account all ma
terials that might serve as a lurking
place for dust and disease-organism
should be excluded. The furniture
should be plain so as to be easily kept
clean. 1t should also be light, or else
furnished with strong casters, so that it
can be easily moved about. Pictures on
the walls Were better omitted
The nursery floor should have partic-
ular attention While the ideal floor
may not be always attainable, the ideal
should be approached as nearly as pos
sible. floor of closely joined hard
wood is the best. since it is most easily
kept free from dust. Over this should
be laid rugs or carpets. which should
be frequently taken up and beaten.
Nursery closets, too. should be care
fully looked after. They should be al
ways open to inspection. and no ac-
cuInulation of soiled clothing should be
permitted. Open shelves are recon-
mended since, while clean linen and
other neceSsaries are easily kept upon
them. they are less apt 70 be made the
receptacles of 'tucked-away" neatness
than are shelves inclosed by doors.
The hahitual use of disinfectants
should have no part in the care of the
nursery. The necessity for their use
should be avoided by means of scrs1pu-
lous cleanliness. A room in which dis
infectants are needed should be inhab-
tied By no one. least OF all by children.
The ventilation Of the nursery is an
important matter. The essential thing
to be secured is a frequent change of
air without draughts along the floor

ICOPYRIGHT, 1893. I

lCOPYhIGHT, 1893
What Is q woman's greatest orna-
ment? Her hair. eyes, Jewels, angel
wing sleeves, aoose ring? No; wrong,
all of you
You should have seen her triumphal
progress along the street; a tall and
willowy figure, black veil of mourning,
which could not conceal clear COM
plexion and fine features, golden hair
massy about her young head, her step
instinct with the grace of unconscious
ness. BY her side trotted and cara
cooled healthy young animal of the
Fauntleroy variety, all in black, too,
with yellow hair just shade lighter
shan the others falling down his back.
And you knew that the girlish figure
was young widows, that the boy
was to her what his gold is to miser,
and you knew why every woman
looked at her with friendly eve and
not with cold hostility, as women
often gaze on beauty not their own,
and why the old coachman who drove
along by the curb as the two walked a
short half block from one shop to an
other fairly beamed upon them, and
why the infrequent man in the throng
looked and looked until you could
fairly see in his softened gaze the
trace of thoughts of home.
Children are irritatingly common in
city and pretty women are not IN
known. But it takes the combination
of the two and the black robes of grief
to touch the heart with thought of re-
Al
imagination spinning to bring realiza-
ton of the fact that never is beauty SO
adorned as by a little child.
OF course the contrast is more dra-
matte when the child is a boy, but
there's more variety in buying clothes
for girl. She may go forth gleam-
ing in purple and gold. like the bar
barian of the poem, or fit ghostlike in
the palest shades and most delicate
fabric. There is literally no limit to
the daring com binations of tint which
children may wear. Put even pink and
green upon a little one. A year or two
ago that would have been ''hideous." |
Now it is merely odd" or striking" |
which shows that in the law of taste.
as of morals, different times have |
standards various.
Cut, like color, is capricious. The
absurdities of the big sleeve craze, now

scythe, seem never so absurd nor so
pretty, as when it is some tot of ten or
less who goes forth between balloons
of gay fabric Other children wear
sleeves of moderate fullness from
shoulder to elbow without bretelles.
These seem like compromises between
extremes.
Blue is the childrens color this June,
blue like the skies or like their bonny
eyes. Red is another color they fiaunt
