Children very often have spasms when

emit. The hot bath is supposed to be very
beneficial in this case. but like other con-
v~ulsions these will pass away without
harm, and the mother and nurse should
keep composed and keep the child from
falling or injuring itself in any way dur
ing the spasm.
Let it always be borne in mind that con-
| vuhsions are not a disease, but a symptom
that may be called out in the course of a
great many diseases, and that in any cura-
able case the CONFUSION will stop of itself
when the disease is cured. Treatment is
chiefly useful to cure or relieve the dis
ease causing the spasms and so to prevent

A Paris correspondent says that women

shopping bags that are attached to the
waist.
Now that dresses are devoid of pockets
and sleeves are too tight at the wrists for
a handkerchief to be tucked away there it
Is almost necessary to resort to one of these
useful little bags. One worn with a dark
brown cloth costume was positively orna-
mental and gave a bright, pretty color
note to the sombre brown gown. 1t was
made of turquoise blue morocco, mounted
on gold clasps.
A narrow gold belt with turquoise

bags are made to resemble pieces of jew

Is quite a common thing among the
hi~gher-priced belt bags. Others are less
expensive.
The fancy for having ones monogram
upon one side of a bag and a miniature
set in the other side is another new idea.
1t is very pretty and the miniature can
be inexpensively worked in silk. If one
were to pick out the absolute essential of

very tall collar, not the crush or the
| ruff, but the Medicis, or some variation
of 1t. The round, high Medicis is some
times slashed. Again it is split in the
middle of the back; again it is high,
round, edged with fur and brilliantly
lined.
I have just seen some shining exam
pies of what ~furriers can do in the way
of r~enovating old fur wraps, even dye
ing the fur its natural color where it
was faded In streaks. The cost was
moderate, too, and I know a woman who
has to conform to the little economies
of life and yet her beautiful furs are ev-
erywhere noticed.
She has three fur wraps-one dates
back twenty years-and, instead of lay
ing out any money In cloth wraps for
the winter she has one of her fur p
remodeled. Sometimes she boasts a col
let and sometimes a longer cape with
stole ends. OF course, every inch of the
ment is saved, and when the season calls
for longer wraps the fur Is cleverly piec-
ed out by the furrier again.
