AT a delightful birthday party that a
little maid gave to her friends each one
was asked to come dressed as doll of
some kind. In the little procession that
marched to the sound of music at the
beginning of the party there were rag
dolls and wax dolls, Brownie dolls and
coiored dolls; those that could say only
TWO or three words and dolls that
danced all the time until their machin-

paper dolls.

An ideal, but we are assured quite
necessary, state of cleanliness for
healthful schoolrooms requires that the
floors shall be dampened and swept
every day, with all the windows open:

Ing with a damp cloth. In addition to
this cleaning, DR.. Adams, who is the

Medical Societies, believes that at least
every other day the floors should be
thoroughly scrubbed with soap and
water. The various women's clubs

are interested in the work of the pub

near the schoolrooms where their chill

waking hours approach this state
The old idea that vines growing on a

oy some Of the best authorities who
contend that just an opposite effect is
produced, as the vine draws. out all the
moisture it can for food. This is said

Ivy and the Virginia creeper, which
shield the walls and so cool them,
without dampness.

sorted TO by Indian mothers to keep
babies from crying. At the first at
tempt to cry on the part of the infant
the mother places her hand over its
mouth and pincheS its nose so that it

repeated persistently whenever the
baby begins a crying spell soon per-
suades the child that 1t is its own act
the effort to cry-which produces the
uncomfortable choking fit. 1t soon de-
cides that the game is not worth the
candle and stops its walls.
