A HELPFUL CORNER.
Baby's Clothing.

as the one which now prevails in baby
clothes. Comfort and convenience
are sought, and Dame Fashion frowns
on all elaborate preparation and in
sists that the baby's first clothes shall
be beautiful by reason of their sim
plicity, always soft and dainty, and of
just as fine material as one can af-
ford. Very long skirts and tight bands
have become obsolete. Low necked,
sleeveless shirts of linen have given
place to sensible wooden ones, protect
ing neck and arms. Utility and COM
fort are combined in everything made
for the baby's use.
The woman who needs to spend
every dollar to the best advantage
will find it much cheaper to make all
the little garments herself. Dresses
can be bought for very little more
than they can be made for at home,
but the latter have the advantage of
finer material and usually better
workmanship. Underclothing can be
made more cheaply at home, especial
ly that of flannel. For a plain dress it
requires about two yards Of material
from thirty-siX to forty inches wide.
Cambria, dimity or lawns from which
they can be made may be procured
for from fourteen to twenty-five cents
or more per yard. Three-quarters of
a yard of lace or embroidery is suf
ficient to trim neck and sleeves. Fine
material for Jokes may be bought al
ready tucked and with lace or en-
broidery insertions. This is very
pretty on the two handsome dresses
which are made for the baby's com
pany or visiting suits. For the little
shirts, if made at home, the finest silk
and wool flannel should be used.
Nothing can be too soft for the baby's
tender, pink skin. 1t costs from six
ty-five cents to 81 per yard This same
material should also be used for the
bands, which are five or six inches
wide and eighteen to twenty long.
They should be torn lengthwise of the
goods, and the raw edges should not
be hemmed, but overcast or coarsely
buttonholed with white silk floss.
Half a yard will make three, which is
sufficient
Three or four shirts will be enough.
Those of ribbed cashmere or merino
cost from siXty-five cents to 81 apiece.
They are more elastic and better than
those made at home can be. If, how
ever, those are too expensive, very
nice ones may be made of the sOftest
flannel. Five-eighths of yard is suf-
fcient for one shirt. They should be
simply shaped with body and sleeves
cut in one, the edges turned over only
once on the right side and feather
stitched. Linen should never be used
for these garments. They should open
down the front. When there is only
a slit, pulling them over the head
strains and wears them. Pinning
blankets are made of flannel with
cambria waists. Two yards of cotton
and wool flannel will make one. The
little waist with shoulder straps
should open in front, with each side
cut into a long point which goes
around the back, and ties there with
narrow tapes. These are only used
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-04-21

Some mothers prefer to have them cut
square, and others make them twice
as long as the width. All the seams
should be hemmed by hand, as ma
chine stitching makes them stiff and
harsh.
All the little skirts should be sewed
to waists, and not the omni present
band. Thirty inches is long enough
for flannel skirts from neck to hem.
Three flannel skirts and three cam
brio skirts is enough for a modest out
fit. The flannel skirts may be seal
loped and buttonholed around the
bottom with white Spanish floss, or
they may have three to four-inch
hens turned up and feather stitched
on right side. If the mother is fine
needlewOman she may embroider it
around the bottom or may trim it
with pretty wooden lace. Flannel
skirts are very nice cut princess fash
ion, and measuring thirty inches long.
Two tucks are run in the center of
the front and one on each side of the
opening at the back. These tucl1s are
run down for only about six inches
from the neck. The goods is then
sloped and the neck and armholes
shaped. The tucks can be let out
when from growth Of the baby or
shrinkage Of the flannel the skirts be-
come too narrow across the front or
back. The cambria petticOats may be
finished by single hem, or they may
be hemstitched. Pretty ones have
two rows of insertion, either fine en-
broidery or lace, with a cluster of
tucks between them. Flounces of
lace or embroidery also make pretty
finish for these skirts. These skirts
should also be sewed to sleeveless
waists. The little night slips are best
if made plain, simply finished at neck
and wrists by bit of narrow lace or
embroidery. They are neatest if cut
princess fashion, or if merely gath
cred at the neck over a drawing
string or ribbon tying at the back.
Three to six pairs of little stockings,
which reach over the knee and are
long enough to reach to the napkin
are sufficient. One or two little wrap
pers may also be found necessary, and
any soft material may be used. Pref
ty and warm are those made of
cheesecloth, with a sheet Of cotton
wadding between. They may be quilt
ed or tied with pale blue or pink yarn
as a quilt. The edges are finished
with yarn in buttonhole stitch.
| Striped or dotted flannel ones, having
the edges bound with ribbon, are very
sweet. Hens turned in and feather
stitched on the right side are also a
pretty finish. One of the first re-
quirements of a young baby is to be
kept warm, consequently some kind
of a wrap is a necessity. The little
shoulder shawls become almost a
nuisance in that they invariably gath
er about the neck and head instead of
protecting the little shoulders and
arms. Very dainty little sacks may
be made of tennis flannel or half wool
material. Cashmere may also be
used. These are prettiest if white,
but pin dots or stripes in colors look
very neat. The edges may be seal

The bottom of the skirt should be
made to correspond with the yoke.
The sleeves are full and are usually
gathered into a band around the
wrist, where they are finished with a
piece of lace. The sweetest lace for
baby's dresses is Valenciennes. 1t is
so fine and soft, and is usually dura-
BILE. Dimity makes pretty baby dress
es, as also does China silk, which is
often not more expensive than fine
cotton garment. A dress of China
silk should have a four-inch hem at
the bottom, feather stitched with
white silk, or it may have two or
more rows of Valenciennes insertion
The yoke may be round, pointed or
cut straight across, but it can be
made as elaborate as desired. This
silk launders as prettily as cotton and
is therefore economical. Many moth
ers are buying three tiny gold pins,
which fasten as safety pins, and
which are linked together by a fine
gold chain. These are used to fasten
the baby's dress in the back instead of
buttons and button holes. They look
lovely, too.
Everything in baby's outfit must
be able to endure frequent contact
with soap and water, the cloak and
cap excepted. The first long cloak is
usually of cream cashmere or Bedford
cord, decorated with embroidery or
trimmed with heavy lace. Some of
them are trimmed with rows of mar
row white ribbon, with feather stitch
ing between. About three yards of
material forty-four inches wide is re-
quired to make one. This, of course,
depends much on the way it is made.
Winter cloaks need to have an inter-
lining of cotton wadding and then a
lining of China silk; but those for
summer use need no cotton. There
are many handsome, heavy white cot
ton materials which make pretty
summer cloaks, and look lovely with
heavy lace decorations. One long cape
is all that should be put on a tiny
baby's cloak. Capes have a tendency
to bundle about the infants head and
will be found quite annoying. The
cloak may be made as long as the
dress, or longer. The cap is pretty if
made to match the cloak. This is all
right for the winter, but muslin or
crocheted caps are incest for summer.
Those chocheted of white or cream
knitting silk are very handsome.
They should be lined for summer
with a thin white silk, and for winter
it will be necessary to have thin cot
ton wadding and silk for warmth.
Babies look sweet with full ruches Of
lace or ribbon surrounding the face,
and with rosettes of baby ribbon or
silk hemmed on both sides; strips of
hemmed muslin are best for the mus
lin caps. AS the baby grows older
tiny booties may be made of soft,
colored leather or channels skin; and
no baby should be taken out in the
cold unless provided with mittens
that the tiny hands may be protected.
A "baby basket is almost neces-
sity, and is very simple to make. A
willow basket about 15x1S inches and
four or five inches deep should be
