by many and really looks well when cut
into very bread tabs fastening over at one
side OF the front with large pointed revers,
the revers being usually covered with lace
or embroidery IN some form.

which covered the silk slip entirely from

bare shoulder.
The paradise plume for hats is not so
popular this season as IL has been, but
the long, curled osprey Is decidedly in
favor. OF all the feathers, the ostrich IS
perhaps the most patronized. Feathers
OF this sort in violet, red and green are
often used to decorate the chiffon hats.

Remedy for Group.

This is a disease of childhood, although
we sometimes meet attacks in grown-up
people. There are two forms of Group.
The memhraneous Group and the spas
modic Group. The memhraneous Group is
a very fatal kind. causing death very
soon. and IL requires quick and the best
medical skill: but me other form can be
treated at home unless the attack lasts
too long. 1t usually occurs at night: the
child awakens out Of a sound sleep gasp
ing and choking for breath. The mother
must retain her presence OF mind and,
while acting promptly. viii soothe and
quiet the child's fears. Keep the child I'm
an upright position. loosen the hand
at tho neck and put a cold compress
around the throat-the colder the better
spasm OF CLOTHS muscles Never mind IL
the child screams; pin II snugly on. and
over II pin dry towel. In few minutes
you wSl see the breathing gradually be-
come easier. and the child will drop Oft
into gentle sleep. Children should be
taught TO breathe through their nose soon
as they are old enough. They should be
warmly clothed during cold weather
wearing flannel underwear. Their general
health should be built up by giving them
plenty OF milk. and by daily baths OF tepld
water. IN which sea salt has veeu dis

OF sunshine and fresh sir. Generally. with
careful watching. the child outgrows the
