ment, charming decorative variations
may be rung on the theme. It is very
interesting to continue a story of this
kind well into young manhood or
young womanhood.
One of the most sensible novelties
for baby's accommodation is the creep
ing blanket, a large, soft square rug
having plain. colored center and a
border formed of familiar animals.
This rug keeps the child off the drafty
floor, and the animal pictures are a
first lesson in zoology.
The very latest diversion where there
is new baby is the weighing party.
This is a weekly function to which the
friends of the baby's parents are in
vited. To make matters exciting a pool
of rs cents is made to guess the loss or
gain in ounces, but the money does not
go to the best guesser but to the infant,
who keeps the change
Quite little preparation is necessary
for this party. A weighing machine
which is a kind of cradle on a spring
pedestal is to be provided and tally
sheet on which the weight of the child
each week is written.
Novelties in the up to date babys
layette are wonderful and exquisite
creations upon which the average mod
ern mother dotes and pays an enor-
nous sum to possess.

Concerning Onions.

The experience of those who have
tried the onion cure is that it works
wonders in restoring a cold racked sys-
tenn to its normal state.
An onion cure breakfast includes a
poached egg on toast three tablespoon
fuls of fried onions and a cup of coffee
Luncheon of sandwiches made of brown
bread, buttered and filed with finely
chopped raw onions, seasoned with salt
and pepper. makes the second meal on
the schedule For supper the onions
may be fried as for breakfast and eaten
with chop and q baked potato.
The efficacy of onions is well known
to the singers of Italy and Spain. who
eat them every day to improve the
quality of their voices and keep them
smooth
Onion plasters are prescribed to break
up hard coughs They are made of fried
onions placed between two pieces of old
muslin. The plaster is kept quite hot
until the patient is snugly in bed. when
it is placed on the chest. to stay over
night.
Onion strip is claimed by some to be
unequaled as a cure for bad cold in
the chest

beading is sewed in long stitches
around the edge of each layer or shelf.
Ribbon bows are tied at the support
ing legs of the frame and on one side of
the handle.
All sorts of pretty accessories come
to fill the needs of a baby's toilet. Es-
pecially attractive are the dainty sets
consisting of brush, comb and soap box
made of white celluloid having hand
painted sprays of forgetmenots on
them. A round pincushion- filled, if the
purse admits, with different sized safe
ty pins of gold or silver is a convenient
and handsome addition.
To take the place of the gocart and
perambulator so much in use there is
delightful new invention called a car
riage car. With one maggie touch it
can be transformed from a dainty and
roomy baby carriage into victoria or
baby car suitable for an older child.
1t is an ideal carriage of dark green

spokes and rubber tires. The handle is
in front of the carriage, and the per-
son who wheels the little coach has the
baby Immediately in view. Too
springy a carriage is said to affect a
child's nervous system, and the con-
slant swaying of a two wheeler wagon
is not desirable. This new carriage has
four wheels, two large ones in front and
two smaller ones in the back, and an
arrangement by which the cart may be
brought to a standstill and locked.
A caudle party is often given when
the baby is christened, at which gath
ering the company drinks to the health,
happiness and prosperity of the small
stranger in a kind of warm beverage
made from wine and ale mixed with
bread, sugar, spices and sometimes
eggs.
A caudle cup and set of apostles
spoons are often the sponsors gift to a
child at this christening, but the usual

season has begun earlier than
usual this year. Ciro's restau-
- rant opened the other day, and
the Prince of Monaco celebrated
his birthday with reception of very
elaborate character. Baron Henri de
Rothschild, who has established him
self at Monte Carlo for the spring sea-
son, has presented the Automobile club
of Nice with cup, which is to be con-
tested for later on. At the La Bolie
golf links they have already held a
tournament. So, you see social affairs
are in full swing all along the Riviera.
Paris is never more charming than at
this time of the year, but it seems to be
the smart Parisian's chief aim of exist
ence to get anywhere, anywhere out of
the gay capital just before and during
Lent. The butterflies of fashion have
fitted off with trunks full of stunning
creations, which the lesser lights will
not be slow to copy later on. But the
question which is interesting women
generally is what Dame Fashion will
| deign to smile upon in the way of
spring materials and modes.
The harbingers of spring in fabric
lines which have made their advent
all point to a one tone color scheme.
taffetas in the lead, the designs are
mostly fine stripes and small dots in
self color with a scattering of wafer
spots over the pattern. Checks in
green and white, blue and white and
the popular magpie contrast have all
over their surface this wafer effect
carried out in the predominant color of
the groundwork.
Organizes in mauve have dainty or
chids in the same tones sprinkled
around in a charming manner, and in
I e vi e 4 rrI,+
tones clashing in an attempt at har-
mony we have in the new materials
beautiful shadings carried out in ar
tistic values.
Double chiffon for afternoon toilets is
a coming dress material. Paquin has
just turned out an exquisite costume
in this new chiffon. The thick chiffon
gown is black and mounted over an IN
derskirt of black satin.
These chiffon frocks, whether for day
or evening wear, are never mounted
over a contrasting shade, as the mate
rial is too opaque to show up well over
a color. A gown of double chiffon needs
no apology when two waists are pro-
vided for a single skirt.
| Duchess satin, the handsome silk of
other days, is one of the novelties of
| the season, and a pretty notion of trim
ming a gown of this satin is with me-
dallions of lace outlined with little
ruchings of the duchess.
Mohair is to be favorite utility
dress material-not the mohair of our
remembrance, but a soft and glorified
fabric sprinkled with little fiecks of
white on dark grounds.
The skirt may tease US with a change
of tactics later on, but the manifesto
for the spring months is that it will be
| gathered and fitted in a perfect man
ner to give that svelte and clinging eff
feet the smart frock demands.
Instead of skirts being trimmed in an
archipelago sort of fashion with little
| islands and isthmuses of lace and "trip
peries, the correct mode now is to place

all adornment around the hem or just
above it. An unstitched band of velvet
seven or eight inches deep headed by
tucks of the dress material is a new
skirt trimming.
AS a demiseason costume the Pari-
slams are affecting a blush gray gown.
A charming frock of this shade for
morning wear has a full f1oppy skirt
stitched in two bands around the bot
tom with the waist fullness over the
hips laid in tiny plaits. The loose jack
ct bodice has a basque at the back and
a broad, stitched belt fastened by but
tons in front. The front of the bodice
has silk lined revers opening over a
soft silk vest. One of the new pointed

~ the temporal world the divine

WN the temporal world the divine
right of kings may be questioned
and revolutions may overthrow
- their supremacy, but in the do
nestle kingdom his majesty the
baby rules with an undisputed and
right royal sway. This small specimen
of humanity seems imbued with an all
conquering viii and a right of way
which brook no interference from the
powers that be. His imperial highness,
although a wellspring of pleasure and
power in the house, is also a source of
anxiety when provision for his welfare
and comfort is concerned.
Anything connected with the hy-
giene or identifying of this important
parsonage is of interest to every moth
er.
A number of dainty and useful things
have been appearing of late for the
toilet of the baby. Every mother rec
ognizes the fact or has had it i'm
pressed upon her by wise friends that
too much handling of a youngster is
bad. especially through the first few
months of his existence.
How to carry him about ordinarily
or when exhibiting him to admiring
friends except in the arms is a serious
proposition.
The baby carriage meets this need
in the open air, but in the house the
cradle is the only place where he can
safely rest and exercise his little mus
cles- This real need is today filled by
q basket fashioned after the receptacle
in which the small Moses was found by
Pharaoh's daughter. This Moses bas-
ket" is of natural willow, and some of
the daintiest models are trimmed with
ruffies of chiffon or dotted net and up
holstered with silk cushions. Wide rib
bons hung from the top of the hood to
the side of the basket are arranged in
graceful, long loops and ends. Pale
pink and light blue, needless to say, are
the favorite colors employed in its flt-
ting. This basket affords the means
for carrying the tiny member of the
household about, but a stand comes
with it which when attached to the
basket makes a comfortable crib at
short notice.
Like all novelties. the Moses basket
IS not cheap, and when money is an OBJ
5ect to be seriously considered a
clothes basket crib answers the purpose
and costs a mere trile.
The largest square shaped clothes bas-
ket with handles at the side is the one
to select. Have a hair mattress made
to fit the bottom, or an ordinary pillow
win do very well. Cover the basket in
side and out with one thickness Of

edged frill and furbelows of fine muslin
generally used on a basinette and the
ribbons. which are as necessary appar-
emily to baby's happy SAUNDERS as they
are to the pride of his admiring and de-
voted mother. The advantages of a
crib of this kind are many. 1t may be
lifted around without disturbing the
baby's slumbers and is a convenient
receptacle for packing the small ward
robe in when going away from home
and needs only to be covered with a
waterproof macintosh sheet and
strapped to make it neat trunk On

The Trail of Lewis and Clark

was the pioneer American trail west of
the Missouri river and the results OF that
exploration of lS04-6were of tremendous
Importance to the United States and they
were never more apparent than now.
A publication relating TO the Lewis
and Clark expedition, just issued by G..
Z. Putnam's Sons, New York, stands pc
culiarly alone. This edition is two vol
ume, vo one, called "The Trail OF Lewis
and Clark, lS04-1904." The author, Mr..
Olin d. Wheeler, is the well-known
author of the popular Wonderland SER
les of the Northern Pacific Railway, in
connection with which he made his re-
searches and studies for this work
Mr.. Wheeler has travelled several
thousand miles over the route of Lewis
and Clark He has camped out, climbed
mountains, followed old Indian trails,
and visited remote points made memoir
able by those explorers. Their route
across the BitterrOot mountains has
been followed, identified and mapped
'The Trail oil Lewis and Clark" is
illustrated in color and half tone from
paintings, drawings and maps by Pax
son, DeCamp and Russell, made under
Mr.. Wheeler's direction, and from pho
tographs taken especially for the purpose.
The writer tells his own story and sup
plements it with pertinent extracts from
Lewis and Clark, and ahost of other his
torical and narrative writer's that connect
the past with the present. Manuscript
journals Of Lewis and Clark are given.
A chapter is devoted to the Louisiana
Purchase, another to the preparatory
measures for the exploration, and an
other to the history OF each man OF the
expedition so far as known, including a
discussion of the death of Captain Lew
is.
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
st. Louis, and the Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial to be he held at Portland, Ore,
in 1905, make this work peculiarly time
ly because written from the standpoint
of actual knowledge OF past and present
conditions of the old trail and country.
''The Trail OF Lewis and Clark should
be found in every public and private Ii.
brary in the land and the general reader
will find in reading through it's pages Of
