The Bdbys Good and Bad Luck

All the world over the mother has
queer superstitions about her baby.
Here are some Of the queerest of them
from the four corners of, the earth.
In Rounania the infants ankle is
bound UP with red ribbon Immediately
after birth to ward off evil spirits.
In ireland, for the same reason, a
strand of woman's hair is placed in
the cradle.
Garlic, salt. and bread are placed in
the cot of newly-born child in Hol-
land
In the West Indies the negroes fol-
low the same custom as the women in
Roumania, but their. ribbon is. blue in
stead of red. If they have. no ribbon,
they make mark with washing blue
upon the child.
In Russia there's superstition that
a baby and kitten cannot thrive in
the same house. One is sure. to pine
away and die, SO pussy is always
driven away as soon as a baby comes.
Most Englishwomen think tits .ex-
tremely unlucky. to carry a baby
downstairs before it is journeyed up
ward. If the baby is born on an up
per. floor, and there are no stairs to
climb, the mother must hold her dar-
ling high up in the air, standing Upon
= chair or table. and only then can

ira amount, and draw the direct line
as for gathers, but to cut a good
turning above it. Then arrange the
spaces in the following manner:
Measure along the line one inch
from the3neck and three-quarters from
the armhole corners. From each of
these points mark off two inches for
the first and third tucks; mark
the center of the space remaining,
measure one inch each way for the
middle tuck, making them equal dis
tances apart.
fla shoulder should be too small to
leave at least half an inch between the
edge of one tuck and the stitching of
the next, it will be prettier to make
the tucks less wide
& Arrange them in their respective
folds, either pinning or lacking. Then
lay. the, plain pattern on the inside and
carefully cut only the paper under
and between the tucks by it, after
which cut the tucks themselves
straight across from the stitching
points. Do the same for the back,
when the line will appear as in the
larger. one, in Diagram g. The material
is, OF course, cut carefully to all the
zigzags, and in this way the shoulder
edges may be- stitched before the
tucks are made. If the seams are
well pressed, the effect is infinitely
smarter than when the tucks are
stitched before the shoulders are
Joined, in which case they often do
not meet nicely.
The illustration shows three tf1cks
down the upper parts sofs the sleeves
and three around the lower parts.
AS a rule, they are. made less deep
than those on the waist, three-quar-
tiers of an inch being ample to be in
accordance with the inch ones.
To allow for these, four and half

When a large amount of extra width
is added to a front for fulness, it is
as we'll to fold over a piece of the
lower, edge of the pattern, as illus
trated by E, to reduce the width at the
waist. Judgment must be used, as
what would be bulky amount in fan
mel or thick linen would not be at all
too much in chiffon or anything of
similar texture.
For an ordinary amount of fitness,
six inches are usually allowed from
A to A, about four and quarter be-
ing apportioned to the shoulder and
the remainder to the front of the neck,
as3in the diagram.
The amount measured may vary,
but the manner of measuring and
keeping the.points strictly level is in
variable.
This applies practically to p1eats,
but for these the edge has to beezig-

it4bestaken downstairs in safety. This
Superstition is also common in
France and Germany, and even in
some parts of this country.
Another English superstition is that
the baby who does not cry when it is
christened will have bad luck all
through its life If the infant insists
on being good, theamother pinches it
to make the cry come.
In Spain the women say that baby
under year old shouldsnot be allowed
to look. in'a mirror; otherwise. it will
grow up proud and naughty.
Most mothers are very4much alarm
ed when their babies fall out of bed
or off their laps, but in India the wo-
men think it is an excellent omen. In
Ireland there is similar superstition,
which says that unless baby falls out
of bed four times before it is year
old it will be a hopeless idiot

to curve. out the under part until the
tucks are placed, when the whole: top.

tern.
To allow for the tucks around the
lower part, extend the length or. drop
the corner by the fold, if preferred, as.
the tucks will give a certain amount
of stiffness and keep the sleeve out,
so that a little. extra length at the.

meek, to make the fulness extend all
across the front of. the; waist.
This is very. simple to cut out, al
though most amateurs make mistake
in allowing for the fulness, with the
result of 1nisfitting shoulders.
To allow for .fulness on line at an
exact right angle with, say, the selvage
or 1engthwise edge, it is only. neces-
sary to extend it further in the same
direction. But where it has the least
slope, it will, if this is DONE be at a
more acute angle, when gathered,
than the original pattern, and conse-
quently will not fit. *
To increase the length of 1.-The ,sloped
line and guarantee that the longer one,
when gathered, will lie exact to the
original slope, it is only necessary
to keep the corners parallel. Diagram
/. shows the front pattern placed on
the material at six inches from and
even with the selvage.@ The; other
points, A, B and O, are carefully meas
sured straight across from the original
ones-A; six inches, Band % respec-
lively four and a quarter. The shout
der line is redrawn sfromsD TO the new
B, and, when gathered, will be ex-
.act1y to the originaltline.
From b TO o. the lines are identical,
because at that'part of the neck edge
there must be no gathers; and from
@. to "A the small curve.is extended on
the same plan as the shoulder line, and
will be- correct when gathered.
The margin is used for turning uf1-
der, and such "a waistsis usually made
to hook invvisibly down. the middle of
the front, the opening being concealed
amid the fitness.
If the waist is to have 9. pleat or
stitched band down the front this is
allowed, and the gathering from Q
to A may either be dispensed with
or there may be just a little beyond
where the edge Of the box-pleat will
set. On no account must the side

which is marked by an arrow and a
star The middle of the back is placed
TO a fold
1t is as well to make small notches
on. the shoulder edges to indicate the
tops of the lines for the tucks, or to
chalk or trace these part of the way
down. In making the waist, the first
thing is to stitch the right shoulder
seam, and the left one so far as it
goes. Then make all the tucks and
press them all well.
Gather or pleat the small, plain
piece at the back waist and fold the
.pleats little further over. each other.
Place and stitch narrow band of the
material over this, just where the
waist line comes. See that it;is short
enough to draw the back faulty down
and secure tape or ribbon on to each
end of the small band to tie around
the front
Set the overlapping part of the right
front carefully to the left shoulder, as
if to stitch, ands fold Under the edge
of the left front, so that it will ex-
actly fit under the first tuck and over
the margin allowed. Sew hooks under
the left edge, and make it neat with
narrow ribbon. Face the right one
and sew straight eyes under the tuck
as near to the seam as possible, and
close together.

the shoulder hook closely, as if

This Is the Biggest
Family on Earth

A West Indian scientist has lately
been making Investigations into the
family life of the green fly, a plant
parasite whose fertility eclipses that
of all other living creatures.
He asserts that a single green fly
will produce ninety young, all fertile
females. In few days each one of
these ninety will produce another
ninety, each equally capable of replen-
ishing the earth.
During the summer, about eleven
generations of this interesting crea-
ture make their appearance. twill,
therefore, be seen that at the end OF
the season e progeny of a single
fly would number, barring accidents,
three thousand one hundred and
thirty eight trillions two hundred and
five thousand nine hundred and sixty
billions nine hundred thousand mil
lions
The accidents that prevent this con-
summation, devout1y MOTTO be wished,
take the form of lace wing flies, lady
birds and other birds, and, happily,
hundreds of other natural causes.
If ten green flies should weigh a
grain by no means moderate esti-
mate-its descendants in the eleventh
degree would weigh no, less than one
hundred and forty-five billion tons.

A Christian Japanese Statesman.

In no country in the world is there
more complete religious federation
than in Japan. 1t is not generally
known that several of the high officials
in the Mikado's service are converts
to Christianity.
The president of the Lower House
of~the japanese Parliament, which was
recently dissolved because it censured
the Cabinet for not being more'vigor-
Gus in the negotiations with Russia, is
one of the leading members of the
Presbyterian Church in Japan. His
name is .Rataoka Kenkichi.
At various stages of his political
career his friends have urged him to
resign his, church offices, in order that
he might promote his public career,
but he has consistently refused to do
so. His career has seemingly never
suffered; she is to-day one of'the lead
ing statesmen in Japan.
