The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-09-10


gle. John Strange Winter was 2S when
she married Arthur Stannard, a civil en-
gineer, and two years later her charm
ing book, Boobies Baby" with its Won
derful knowledge of infant and military
life, made her famous.
Miss Olive SchTeiner waited long before
she was content to part with her freedom
to Mr.. Cronwright, a South African gem
tleman farmer, and, like herself, "a child
OF the Welt"
Rita has twice tempted providence at
the altar, her second husband being W.
Desmond Humphreys, a gentleman of
County Cork. Thackeray's gifted daugh-
ter the author of so many delightful nov
els, is known to her friends as Mrs. Rich
mond Richie.
Many mothers insist upon allowing their
| infants hair TO grow hong. 1T makes
darling look so cute" they say. They do
not consider the discomfort child suffers,
especially in warm weather nor do they
seem to realize that the hair serves as a
trap for the dust and SCOT that are found
even in the most carefully cleansed local-
ties
In taking care of an infants hair 1t IS
necessary TO remember how delicate and
| sensitive the scalp of little child is, and
| also that the bones of the skull do not
close till nearly the end of the second year
of life so that pouring anything hot upon
| it or applying alcohol, al is sometimes
done, may easily affect the brain injuri
| ousy.
At first a babys head should he washed
! every morning with some good soap. If
| scurvy spots appear on it they should be
! gently rubbed with little vaseline or sal
ad oil before the head is washed, but they
should not be touched with a fine tooth
| comb. II is a mistake not to soap the
! head we'll for if this is not done the scalp
| is pretty sure 10 become scurVy, but ii is
an important matter to rinse the hair
properly with clear water and to dry it
with a soft towel. The very softest brush
that can be obtained is the right one for
| baby and no comb should be used.
After two years it will be often enough II
| the child's head be washed once a week
Then a shampoo should be used, made of
the yok of an egg and soap beaten up in
warm water to form good lather. This
| should be well rubbed into the scalp and
rinsed out with plenty of warm water.
If the water is hard little borax may
be used to soften it. When children have
long hair and are apt to catch cold, 1t is
| a good plan sometimes to apply a little
eau-de-cologne to the scalp. but this must
! never be used in the case of infants, for the
reasons just stated.
A dainty little supper says the Phila-
delphia Times, was served about a week
ago by the mistress of a pretty little home,
who was celebrating her birthday. She
has not reached the point where she is del
icate on the subject of age, because she Is
under 30. She has moderate income, at
! least she shares a moderate income earned
bv a devoted husband who is fun of ad-
mirat ton for the cleVernesS of his wife N
making it cover the expenses of living and
tucly in costly around the edges. No debts
and a nice little nest egg in the bank is
e1ns, afnlv in
She has one domestic, maid-of-al1-Work
whom she paws fair wages and treats well.
She trained her from as raw a specimen
as I ever saw and mas made her hrst-class
in every respect The little home looked
very attractive that evening with It's SIM
ME floral decorations and its air OF spot
lessness The hostess wore crisp toilette
snitpd Ia the weather In the dining room
the table was spread with a snowy cloth,
n hinge pile of napkins and the necessary
dishes for serving supper. Inc sldeDoard'
TOO had been arranged with an eye to the
comfort Of the guests. All the ltue cups
ana saucers. the glasses with and without
handles, and the silverware were conVe-
nientlv arranged where they could be
reacned without much trouble on the part
of maid or attendants.
The supper was delicious. There were
chicken and sweetbread croquettes, raw
tomatoes. from which the skins had been
removed and which had been stutfed WIN
coId eyeetbreads chopped and mixed with
mavonnaise dressing; buttered bread cut
irto small slices, ices, cake, coffee and
emit Dunch The guests were not so nu-
,,,e,o,is that they could not all be seated
during the supper, and two young men
(orried about the refreshments, which the
maid served 1t was all beautifully con
dncted and was accompanied by some eX-
celIont music contributed by friends OF the
N,(,et.ss two of whom were professiona
musicians on vacation. lt was mlonish'
tafore tha guests departed, leaving the
hostess almost overpowe1ed by compii'
ments on her entertainment.
