GLOW Many Knots an Hour"

"How many knots an hour are you
golng?" is a nautical question which
can well be propounded just now to
the dressmaker or the woman who is
fixing up her last summers gown.
The dainty French knot studs her col
larette and oft times her sllken girdle.
The tiny knot of velvet ribbon is a
rival, a good second In sooth. The
knots are used as Il finish in many
places on the robe, as n terminal point
where the lines Of narrow velvet rib
bon trim the gown. The rows which
finish the waist are concluded with
tiny knots, one on each side of the full
front. The ladder of velvet ribbon
which ascends the skirt panel or ira
verses the bodice or meanders on the
sleeve Is finished in precisely the same
way.
Little knots of narrowest black vel
vet ribbon are applied to the aounce
of black Chantilly lace which overlies
the sub-hounces, either of colored fou-
lard or of colored mousseline de sole,
Mites of knots are spaced at the
ends Of the long sash, a feature of the
handsome summer frock. The sash
has rounded oblong ends. The end of
the flowing sash is usually much
broader than the upper part, where it
disappears under the loops and knots.
The sash is already tied and stitched
to the gown. 1t is made often of LIB
erty satin.

The personal defence Of the royal
family of Spain is intrusted to n
bodyguard Of men from Esplnosa, this
town having enjoyed the honor for
hundreds OF years. These men of Es-
pinosa accompany the members of
the royal family. One of them sleeps
at the door of each royal bedchamber
and the rest of the guard in noseless
slippers pace the halls of the palace.
But the hardest worked police In the
world is the private force of the Sui

Boys' Shirt Waist.

The strongly made, well-htte1 shirt
waist that can be relied upon TO with

ment that is always in demand. The
advantage of home-making is to be

Training the Young idea.

Children are more often spoiled dur
ing the first month of their lives than
at any other time. 1t is then that the
seed Is sown that will influence their
entire lives. If the nurse feels in
clined to take little exercise she is
very apt to take the wee bundle OF hui
manity in her arms and give it its first
lesson in being troublesome. At the
end Of week the baby will cry for
continuance of the pastime, and here
Is where the trouble begins. At the
end of month night walking has been
firmly established, and the wearied
mother wonders why her child is so
troublesome.
Neither allow child to be carried
or nursed more than is absolutely nee
essary for attention to its needs. The
less child is handled during the first
three months of its life the better it
will be for the child.
The mother will now take hand in
the spelling of the little one by giving
it food whenever it cries, no matter
what the cause may be. Most fire.
Quently an over-abundance of food is
the very cause of Its discomfort, but
at the first cry the mother flies to add
to its troubles, and an attack of indi-
gestion follows. There Is greater
wrong in this than even the over-feed-
ing of the child for this Is the first
lesson given in self-indulgence, and
the mother anxious though she may
be for the welfare OF her precious
child. is responsible. Let the child be
regularly fed, and. should he cry, try
to find some other cause for his unhap.
piness.
Habits of neatness should also be
inculcated at very early age, as we'll
as habits of regularity. See that his
bath Is given ut the same time each
day, and that his morning nap follows
with regularity. Be sure that the
room where the child is put TO sleep
has been freshly aired. Plenty OF light
warm covers are necessary for him,
and for this purpose there is nothing
better than cheese cloth nicely quilted
with good quality OF wool. Let fancy
ribbons so If the quality of the mate
rial must be lowered in order to have
tho ribbons. These spreads. II made
at home, are so inexpensive that there
is no excuse for them becoming soiled
and untidy. Fresh air Is also very inn
portant for the child, and he should
be taken out of doors every day, unless
the day is stormy.
Avoid draughts. but do not make q
hot-house plant of your baby. Every
conscientious mother viii find in the
training OF her child she also is being
trained, for their is 10 experience that

SUMMER CYCLING FASHIONS.

Sporting Clothes.
Sporting clothes are growing danger

picturesque. The directoire coat is
bound they say. to force eventually
the abdlcation of the English habit

and white linen golf skirts have got n
ruflied bottom this spring, and the
cycling outfits that are now turned out
by the tallors would appear to advan-
tage at garden parties and In drawing
rooms. Just now we are hailing joy
ously the new sporting skirts of silk,
linen and silk flannel, their bosoms
laid with stitched down tucks that
have piped edge and high turnover
fAiglon collar faced with bright
plaid silk. The sleeves of such waists
are n modified bishop in shape with
small. round stitched cuffs holding the
fulness at the waist.
Inch by inch and season by season.
the cycling skirt has grown longer,
and for the warm weather that Is
surely coming they are Offering the
most beguiling English mohair skirts
and jackets. A very becoming cycling
suit can be made of mushroom gray
and trimmed with blue silk braid. The
jacket is also decorated with some CO.
quettlshly superHuous buttons of blue
enamel, and shows little false vestlets
in front of striped blue and white silk
poplin. The garment is worn over a
jaunty little blue and white calico
skirt and the mohair skirt is garnished
with blue braid about the bottom. A
dish-shaped straw of blue, with
spotted foulard handkerchief and
blue quill. comprise the appropriate
cycling headgear.
1t Is an odd fact that these, dish,
boat and tray-shaped straws that were
evolved and introduced especially this
season to meet the demand for travel
ing, gol6ng, cycling and general out
door wear have been brought up and
worn by women as general spring
headgear. They were designed only
to serve as substitutes for alpines and
sailors, and they look as out of place
with calling costumes as yachting caps
or sunbonnets would.
The very dressy cyclist and golfer is,
by the way, ordering her next suit OF
serge, mohair or linen to be made with
q many-gored corselct skirt. Eight
cores will not be considered too many
for such service, and the seams OF
every gore must be strapped, stitched
and piped with satin. OF course, 1t
will require the figure OF nymph and
the grace of Psyche to carry off one
of these skirts effectively, and it is sad
but true that along with the corselet
skirt has arrived the satin ribbon brl-
tells or suspenders that had a passing
vogue seven years ago. but which
were laughed out of use and never
worn by the truly Notwithstanding
