Spread this upon table and overlap
1T with sheets of cotton wadding, liber-
ally sprinkled with sachet powder
Finally cover the cotton with a second
yard of cheese CLOTH turn the edges,
and haste them together, after which
they may be overhanded, or stitched
about on the machine. The entire COW
erlet should then be basted through
and through, to hold the cotton III
place.
A circle, a square or a diamond in
ample size, should next be cut in paper
as a pattern. Decide somewhat the
nature of the design, keeping in mind
that it must be sufficiently intricate to
serve as quilting for the coverlet.
A row of circles overlapping each
other across the top and bottom of the
coverlet is effective with the BABY
baSted out in your own autograph in
the center.
A CARRIAGE ROBE
may be made of China or Marcetien
silk which comes in daintiest shades at
less than half a dollar a yard. White
lined with pink, is suggestive of sea
shell.
An undermining of light wool is held
firmly in place by the robes being
tufted with daisy ribbon, drawn COM
pletely through silk, wool and all, at
its allotted place by means Of a sharp
steel crochet needle. After tying the
ribbon once, it is well to tack it firmly
to the coverlet with sewing silk and
needle. A frill of lace should oVerset
the frilled pinked edge silken ruff1e,
and you have a robe of sufficient eie-
gance for state SAUNDERS or for the
carriage.
A CARRIAGE BAG.
A pretty and convenient pocket for
blue or pink China silk embroidered
with forget-me-nots, rosebuds, violets
or daisies. Neatly made up and COM
pletely lined satin ribbons an inch
wide should be run in a casing sewn
out for the purpose, at the foot of the
ruffle. These ribbons should draw at
either side. to open and shut the bag,
retenete fashion.
A CARRIAGE STRAP.
Here is a dainty gift for an infant
Three yards of two and a half inch
wide satin ribbon is required The
strap proper is made of two lengths of
ribbon, the one used for the outside
embroidered with forget-me-nots, vio-
let's or pansies.
The two pieces of ribbon are care
fully overhanded together and one end
sewed up, making a bag the width of
the ribbon and half yard long; this
is tightly stuffed with thoroughly
sached cotton, and the open end closed.
A CARRIAGE VEIL.
Another dainty trihe is a gauze
screen for outdoor use. This may be
made of a two yards square of point
d'esprit or of wash blonde, as many
people think dots injurious to the
young eyes.
THE NUSERY MAIDS TOILET.
Many mothers regard the nurses ap-
pearance as rather a matter of vanity,
whereas it may as truly affect her
childs health.
Broad aprons deeply hemmed of
checked muslin or plain lawn with
the variety of wide-spreading strings
or simple belt, will do much to-
ward keeping a child's clothes clean, be-
sides adding to the appearance of the
nurse. Six of these at least should
belong to every gazette.
Neck handkerchiefs, made of half
square Of cheap muslin or null simply
hemmed or ruffied or edged with cheap
lace. pinned down ait the back, caught
at the throat with shield pin and
crossed beneath the belt, we'll secures
for the baby's head a fresh place when
pillowed against the nurses bosom.
Turned back cuffs and a muslin cap
is a step beyond even the bandana on
woody head; but a clean nurse is one
precaution more against the dreaded
second summer.
