The sArnold' Knit Night Drawers
 For Infants.

Especially desirable for children at the sea shore. The same garment pos sssses the double advantage of being worn with or without feet, as changes of atmosphere may dictate. Special at- tention is called to the advantages of our summer weight garments. Sensible mothers will readily coneeds that the liability to colds is as great in summsr as in winter. In hot summer weather very little bed clothing is bearable on retiring, but in the cool atmosphere of early morning adults are glad to add e1- tra covering: young children have not. however, the intelligence to do this. hence the advantages of our summer weight garments, which are made from fabric of light and fine texture. which will not overheat on the hottest night, and will also afford much needed pro- lection against chills and colds in sudden changes of temperature.

"a wax doll should avoid the fire if

"Often an old doll with a cracked
head and a sweet smile is more be-
loved than a new doll with a sour
face.
ITS a bad plan for dolls to be
stretched out on the floor, as people
may tread upon them, and doll that is
trodden on is sure to go into decline"
