hardwood floor and gives delicious col
oring to the dainty apartment The best
thing of all is that none of the furniture
or hangings on this floor are too fine for
baby fingers to touch and pull. Opening
out on each side of the day nursery are
the night nurserles-one in old pink for
the boys. and one in delicate blue gray
for the little maidens. Jay and Kingdom
have little brass beds. with unusually
high ratings, to keep these sturdy young
gentlemen from sundry rollings out OF
bed and from breaking their limbs when
they indulge in their customary morning
pillow fights. In a little alcove sleeps the
nurs ry maid, who guards her young
charges night ana day and attends to
their numerous real and fancied needs.
Beautifully colored rugs lie in front of
each little bed. and there are white and
rose curtains at the three windows. Over
the mantel hangs painting of the Bless
nursery. which is almost a duplicate OF
the first. the two little sisters sleep in
their white and gold cribs. Mrs. Gould
has trained nurse for them. as well as
nursery maid, and her bed is close to the
little cribs. In case of sickness Mrs.
Gould, who is devoted mother always
takes care of the children herself; but she
says she feels better satisfied to have
some one in the house who knows just
what to do in any emergency. Opening
out from each night nursery are exquisite
little bath rooms, with every convenience,
made on the smallest scale. The little
bath tubs are OF porcelain and all OF the
fittings are of solid silver.
Harry lie Grand Cannon's little two
year-old daughter is lucky in having an
artist for father. He has designated and
partly executed with his own hands the
most original nursery any baby ever had.
The walls are covered with drawings OF
the different countries OF the world, and
around each is painted the fora and
he effect is indie scribable. The coloring
is SO beautiful and the arrangement so
clever that Mrs. Cannon often receives her
own guests in the room, which was built
and fitted and decorated solely for the
pleasure of the little baby daughter.
Mrs. Adolph Ladenburg, one of the
most attractive and beautiful of the mar
ried bellies. has a dear little baby daugh-
ter just four weeks old. She has not had
her candle party yet, SO nobody knows her
name. This tiny little maiden has day
nursery and night nursery which are
models. Sunshine comes to both all day
it to pour through. The floors are hard
wood covered with large rugs, which can
be moved and aired every day if need be.
The day nursery is papered with the
most beautiful designs from Old Mother
Goose, with the rhymes in quaint, old,
blue lettering around and about the
daintyjpictures. The dado has the A, b.
C's both in small letters and capitals.
There are bird cages in the pretty bow
window, which has window seats and
soft, pretty cushions all in baby blue and
white. A little chiffoniere of white
mahogany, with knobs of white and blue
Dresden China. holds all the dainty
baby clothes of silk and null and ilmy
lace; the bath, powder box and all of
the appointments of the baby's toilet
are of white China, tlecked with forget
me-nOts.
The night nursery Is as plain as it can
be, and there is not bit of superfiuous
furniture to be seen. The little white
and gold covered cradle has canopy and
curtains OF white silk mule, lined with
soft, blue India silk to keep off any pos
sible draught from the little sleeper.
The coverings are of wool and down,
surfaced with silk and Just as light and
