is not pinned on with tight cotton band
around the body, but has arm holes in the
merino, and is thus suspended from the
shoulders. 1t may be trimmed with torchon
lace and be as fancy as desired. Ex-
tremists recommend a knit dress, made
double to be worn by the baby until 1T is
four weeks old, but this Is too much to ex-
pect of admiring relatives.
When an embroidered flannel skirt is
used, instead Of spending weeks embroider-
ing the flannel by hand, the modern mother
buys Observation-Disclosures flannel by the
yard at prices ranging from 80 cents to s1.75
a yard. The 50-cent quality. however, is
not very desirable. and IL one cannot afford
TO pay more than that 1t would be better
to buy plain. A yard and a quarter is said
to be good measure for the long petticoat.
Tucked and embroidered petticoats of cot
ton goods are undesirable because they
add weight without warmth.
Suitable Material.
For the little dresses no material is so
nice as French nainsook. Swiss is some
times used, and it is very pretty, but not
nearly so durable. Ordinary nainsook, at
from 10 to SO cents a yard. serves very
nicely for night slips. but for day dresses
1t Is not SO good, because it lacks the dress

a quarter. Two and half yards is an
ample amount for dress, no matter what
chance for a difference in the style of an
infants dress, except in the yoke and the
trimming around the bottom of the skirt.
Yokes are made round and square, with
one point. two points, or three, but the
prettiest and most babyish style is the
round yoke. not more than three inches
long. They are prettiest when composed of
five tucks alternating with lace or embroid-
cry insertion, but 1t saves labor to use the
solid embroidery that sells by the yard. 1t
can be edged with a band of insertion with
a frill of lace at the bottom and another at
the top around the neck. The dress SO
made has a yoke with two points Ia front
The dress proper is made of naInsook, with
rows of lace insertion alternating with
feather-stitched bands of material, and
finished with a founce of wide lace
Baptismal robes made entirely of lace
are imported from the French converts,
and are very beautiful The body of the
skirt is formed of Brussels net, but the
entire front Is one solid panel of lace inser-
tion, and the bottom of the skirt Is finished
with rows of insertion and flounces of lace
caught up at intervals with tiny bows OF
satin ribbon. Such a robe is beyond the
reach of any but the wealthy. but If the
baby is not christened until after he is put
into short clothes a dress of lace IL made
at home Is not an impossibility. There is
nearly always doting aunt In the family
who would like nothing better than the
task Of sewing strips OF Valenciennes in
sertion together for baby's christening
robe. The little yoke and sleeves at least
may be made of solid lace and are much
daintier than nainsook. however fine il
may be tucked.
Night slips should be as plain as possible
A few up-and-down tucks on each side the
front without any yoke are sufficient. The
neck and sleeves are edged with narrow
embroidery.
Wrappers and Jackets.
Most babies have couple Of little morn
Ing wrappers. This is a good idea, for it
saves the deliberately embroidered dresses,
and is more comfortable for the baby.
Pretty little gowns are made OF white
cheese cloth. interlined with layer Of wad-

As the Sun Went Down.

Two soldiers lay the battlefield
At night when the sun wen, down.
One held lock of thin gray lair
And one held lock Of brown.
One thought OF his sweetheart back at home,
Happy and young and gay.
And one Of his mother left alone,
Feeble and old and gray.
Each In the thought that woman cared,
Murmured q prayer TO God
Lifting his gaze to the blue above,
There on the battle sod.
Each In the joy OF n woman's love
Smiled through the pain Of death.
Murnured the sound OF a woman's name,
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips of each,
Then, as the sun went down.
One kissed n lock of thin gray hair
And one kissed a lock of brown.

Broke Through a Bnkerss window -
Run After Hts Engine.
St. Nicholas has been publishing q
series of articles about the fire depart
ment Of New York, writtea by Charles
T. Hill, the artist. In a late Issue Mr..
Hill tells about "'Peter Spots-Fire-
man." a dog that belongs 30 one of the
engine companies. The dog once fell
into disgrace by playfully swapping at
the heads Of the horses when they were
running to a fire and causing them to
balk. So he was given to = baker who
lived far from the engine house. Mr..
Hill gives the following account, in the
language Of n of the fremen, of the
manner in which Peter Spots came
back to the company:
"We had almost forgotten about
Peter, and got used to not. having him
around, when one day a third alarm
came in that took us out; and in get
ting 10 the station / had to drive
through the street the bakers place
was on. 1 never thought of it myself,
but on my word, Peter hadn't forgot
ten us; and when we made u p
ance he showed up pretty quick. The
baker told me all about it ~afterward,
and this was the way it happened:
Peter was lying asleep beside the stove
in the center of the bake shop, when all
of a sudden he pricked up one ear,
and then jumped to his feet and gave
a bark. The baker was making out
some bills behind the counter, and
thought nothing of it until the next
moment Peter gave a jump, and was
in the show window among the pies
and cakes and such like. The baker
hollered to him to get out; but Peter
began to claw at the window and bark
and howl. You see he could hear our
whistle and bell and had recognized us.
Then the baker made up his mind that
the dog had gone mad, and got fright.
ened and got up on a chair, and began
to holler himself; and what with the
baker and Peter, there was a high old
time in that bake shop for awhile.
Every time Peter gave a kick he
knocked a pie or a plate full of cakea
out of the window until he had it clear
of everything. Then we hove in sight;
and through the side of the show.
window he saw us and recognized me
in the seat, and that settled it-no
bake shop would hold him then. He
jumped back in the store, braced him
self plump in front of the pane of glass
in the door, and when we were just
about opposite he gave n last howl,
and crash! cut he came through glass
and all.
II heard the racket, and turned
my head just in time to see
him come flying out. l under
stood it all in a moment, and expected
to see him roll over dead in the gutter;
but not much! He came through go
quick he scarcely got a scratch and
away he went. down the street ahead
of us, barking at everyone, and clear
ing the way just as he used to, and rum
ming around in a circle and jumping
high in the air and cutting up gymnas-
ties-and happy?-well, L just guess
he, was happy! Even the captain heard
