Short Jackets Coming

It is always the case when any fashion
becomes universally popular that some
thing in direct contrast at once is made
the leading style. Long coats have for
so many months been fashionable that
it is not surprising short jackets are now
coming into favor. For the cool days Of
late summer and early autumn the short
jacket, either on the bolero or Eton order,
is extremely smart, and there is a wide
range Of choice in the different designs.
In yelling, serge, oheviot and light
weight cloth, silk and the heavier weaves
of linen are made most Of the Jackets.
One popular style has rounded fronts and
is only long enough at the back to just
reach the waist line. There are three mar
row collars overlapping one another, the
lowest finished with a deep fringe which
falls we'll over the shoulders. The sleeves
are small at the top, but quite large be-
low the elbow, with three pleats gathered
into a narrow cuff, the fulness Of tlsC
sleeve falling over the cum.
Another popular style IS in Elton shape
at the back and with short square fronts
A ntted shoulder cape that is finished
with a, pleated rufhe edged with bal
fringe. 1t can be well understood tha
short jackets of this description have
sad tendency toward making the wearer'
figure look short and thick. but when Q
woman is tall and slender enough q
wear them she looks uncommonly well.

substituted.
When the humidity Of the atmosphere

Uuiet for Baby

The infant should be kept quiet, and
If possible, removed beyond the noise
of other children. The nervous system
of young infant is very sensitive, and
is easily aggravated. Any one coming
in contact with the child should be
careful to preserve an undertaking
equanimity.
Sleep is beneficial to a very great ex-
tent, but If there should be an unusual
degree of lassitude, the condition is Sc
rious, and calls for the attention Of a
physician. Likewise a state of inces-
SAINT peevishness demands a physicians
care, as the constant crying results in
exhaustion dangerous to the child.
