Law il on its side, so the little head will
press the ear fat. So common has become
this Disagreement that skeleton caps are
made to press the baby's ears close TO the
head. A silk handkerchief, however
drawn over the top of the head, down
over the ears and tied securely under the
chin answers the same purpose Chill

Many children inherit bald ewes. or
eyes without lashes, and only a shadow
where the brows should be This is es-
pecially the case where one or both
parents are blondes.
Pure vasellne rubbed on the brows
several times daily and put on the lashes
at night will promote immediate growth.
Nor does this apply only to children, but
is equally efficient with adults
Nothing too strong can be said against
permitting children TO suck their thumbs
Charming and heart-delighting as this
common occupation of the baby is to the
average mother, nothing will more surely
ruin the shape of the hands. II is the
cause of broad, fat thumbs in after life
There are preparations to put upon the
baby's thumbs which will render these
rosy digits less palatable, and after one
or two attempts baby will soon forget the
injurious habit,
Cotton, Isle and silk stockings are all
worn, writes Isabel A. Mallon in an arti-
Gle that cannot fail to please all women
under the title Dainty Styles in Lin
gerie' in the August Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Many women, myself among the
number. prefer cotton to Isle thread
stocking. inasmuch as the twist of the
threads in the Isle ones irritates the
soles of the feet Dark blue and black
stockings are liked for street wear, ex-
cept when tan shoes are worn, and then,
of course the stockings match the shoes
chosen by those who find that the
dye from a black stocking affects
their skin, This is by no means common,
but the very minute it is discovered one
should cease wearing the black and select
another color, or else wear white, for one
never knows to what extent a skin disor-
der may go. With gray or scarlet shoes
or slippers the stockings are chosen to
match, and these may be gotten in silk
at much lower price than is given for
black ones. Many women have discov-
cred that the wearing of suspenders
pulls silk stocking so that it rail
roads, y" which means "goodby'' to the
stocking, and so for this reason the wear
ing of the garter above the knee is gain
ing in favor.

for self-protection under possible emerg-
encies, says the New York Tribune, are
sometimes very funny. The elderly
maiden lady who has an eager soul, de-
spite her timidity, and has visited every
country in Europe, and most of the out
of-the-way places in America, confesses
to having actually purchased pair of
mans boots to put outside her door at
night in suspicious looking inns, instead
of her own tell-tale No. 3s Another mid
dle-aged traveller, who makes yearly pill
grlmages to the home of various friends
and relatives, always labels herself as if
she were package, with the name of
her next destination. You see, if l
should suddenly die they would at least
forward you my corpse, she remarked
cheerfully to one of her hOsJesses, to
whom she was explaining her sys tenn.
Boots-men's boots, that is-seem to in
spire much confidence in the unprotected
female, for another lady, whose husband
and son are often away, also uses them in
lieulof her natural protectors, and during
their absence places the boots at night
before the door of every unoccupied room,
in order to impress the nocturnal visitor.
Another fixed conviction in the minds
of many women is that they will become
insensible some day in the street, and
many are the eXpedients adopted to in
sure knowledge of their identity in such
an emergency. 1t really seems as if their
dread was not unreasonable, for man,
with his multitudinoHs pockets, has as a
rule, papers in plenty to show who he is,
while woman has only her pocketbook,
which, in nine cases out of ten, she holds
in her hand, and would drop If suddenly
