is possible to walk in.
The apron of Renaissance lace which
adorns the pink crepe frock is pointed
in front, lined with thin pink silk, and

The Hip Shawls.
Carmen in her gayest days wore
nothing more noticeable than the hip
shawls of which New York has seen
several of late. They are worn in the
public thoroughfares by women of
darkly sunburned compilations, tOwsled
hair and strange hats. One meets these
unfamiliar figures most frequently at
the bargain counters where jewelry and
lace are sold. The most natural ex

the heated term is a good work, in
which the sympathies and dollars of
many persons are enlisted but it does
little good unless the mothers can be
taken into account, too One of the
things to which more attention is being

are urged not to stop the childs cries
by feeding IT, but to feed it at regular
hours and if it is fretful TO look for
other causes than hunger. The necessi-
ty for baths and the proper way to
give them are impressed upon them
Not to let the child lie in the hot sun
with no protection on it's head is an
other point that has to be emphasized.
