An "Outdoor'y BABY.

Thompson Seton, the well-known
American author-naturaHst, has very
original ideas on the bringing up of his
Children, and his small daughter, little
Ann, IS to be brought up as an out
door child, Indian fashion.
She viii sleep out Of doors, except
when the weather is very severe. She
will go barefoot and bareheaded-at ali
events, in the summer-and as far as
possible live entirely in the open air
She IS to learn woodcraft and all the
mysteries Of handling an Indian canoe
tC swim and TO skate and to follow "A
trail. She will be taught to love ami
mails and birds, and flowers, and to take
an intelligent interest in them all She
viii learn to tell when the rain is COM
ing, and the direction of the wind, and
how TO build a fire with natures ap-
planes only In short, she will be
brought up after an entirely original
method so far as the civilized world is
concerned.
Her father has spent the last twenty
years of his life in studying animals in
their native haunts, and knows them
as well as most men know their init
mate friends, and he is thoroughly con-
WINGED of the beneficial results of liv-
ing in the open air.

Children are often made irritable and
troublesome TO their too attentive and
anxious mothers. A child should be
let alone to play and amuse itself in its
own fashion without constant dircC-

cover that a large number of its games
arc purely matter of imagination. and

RUFFLED UNDERWEAR
FOR THE SLENDER GIRL

There is advice galore for the thin
girl who wants TO look plump. but all
the beautifying specialists in the world
combined cannot cut off her sharp an
giles so well as one good corset maker.
The up-to-date corset for the too
slender maiden is a vision to delight the
eye It's dainty fluffiness is enough to
make her fat sister enviOus. and, best
of all 1t does its business well.
The foundation OF the stays is built
of the sheerest silk batiste and genuine
whalebone. Across the bust is a series
of very tiny full plated frills. edged
in some cases with real lace.
The same scheme is carried out over
the hips. only here the frills are yelled
rather loosely with plain batiste. so
that the skirts may fit with that eX-
quisite smOothness necessary even in
this day of very fun skirts.
The effect Of this corset on a thin
body is a glorious transformation. She
who has compared her figure TO a we'll
made hatrack need do so no longer, for,
with this befrilled stay, she can turn
out well-rOunded lines.

q q OBSERVATIONS of Peggy D. ,

possessor of a Russian deerhound. and
the happy thought occurred to her one
day when out on the links alone, waiting
for the boy caddie who failed TO ap-
pear. that it would be a mighty good
idea If she could train her dog so as
to carry her clubs and search for lost
balls
So she Immediately set to work. and
with some Irvine fastened the bag which
held her clubs to "Bens" back. and
within a week he had learned TO be a
most excellent caddie. who seemed TO
enjoy his duties.
This young lady has invented a har-
ness for the dog. through loops in which
the six necessary clubs and irons are
carried. three on a side. driver. lofter,
brassie. and mashie. and two irons.
The dog watches the balls and finds
lost ones with unerring certainty OF

of the male sex. cannot be expected TO

maid golhng is disconcerting. and a
caddie cannot really be blamed for
watching the player rather than the
pay.

by the fair sex on the occasion Of
Dcwey's triumphant return from the
Philippines, and in the kissing dilemmas
~ which well-intentioned but ill-advis-
ed enthusiasm on the par- Of some %o-

ever before.
In a building where many OF the suites
were carried out on the same lines, but

was particularly noticeable. the color
scheme either making or marring the
entire suite in every instance.
