Hints for Young Mothers.

When preparing an outfit for an infant,
provide the sOftest and finest materials
your means viii permit one should stop
TO consider how soft and teEGer the skin
of the infant is in It's early days.
EmbrOideries should never he selected for
trimming the necks Of dresses and night
gowns. Lace is much daintier, and while
less expensive than enbToideries, it gives
a richer appearance TO the little ward
robe.
For night wear, fIanneIs should have
an admixture of cotton. This prevents
shrinking. The day skirts may also be
made of cotton and wool flannel, but silk
and wool makes much handsOmer skirt
and will last for years a good quality
OF silk and wool flannel may be had for SO
cents a yard.
Do not provide rubber shields; those
made of quilted cambria are much more
oleanly and better for the child in every
way.
The dresses should be one yard long
when finished. a deep hem is the most
popular finish at the present time, and
is far more sensible than a ruffle OF
embrol derry. The little dresses are far
more easily laun dered and the extra
expense may be added to the quality Of
the material.
