F'roissart in his interesting chronicles
speaks of a silver cradle and it's accom-
paniment of a silver bathing tube,
whatever this. attachment may be, as
among the frequently to be met with
accessories of a wealthy family. Our
own times have furnished some elab-
crate specimens in the cradle line. A
multirniIlionaire's baby now reposes in
a crib of mother of-pearl with gold and
ivory mountings.
In the white sanitary nursery the
tiny chiffonier and dressing table are of
enameIed wood, and the nurses chairs
are of wicker painted in an ivory tone.
pretty little screen to cut off the air
when baby is bathing stands in a con-
venient corner and completes the ac-
tual furnishings of this charmingly
dainty and artistic apartment.
The things which may be bought in
the way of baby's toilet accessories are
almost limitIess. The oldest kind of a
bathtub that is still used is the old
fashioned one of wood with q partition
in the middle and a tall basket handle.
About the sides of the bowl are painted
miniature Cupids. Each partition of
the bowl holds about quart of water.

date order has been the fetch
a. of modern nursery furnishings
Recently another fad which
goes hand in hand with this scientific
cleanliness has come along and bids
fair to sweep all of the older methods
to the wind.
The physical makeup of the twentieth
century baby, or at least the nervous
part of its anatomy. is responsible for
this change. The king of the nursery is
now supposed to be born nervous, or at
least he has this prevalently fashion
able falling thrust upon him by his de-
voted mother and doting relatives, who
one and all join forces in declaring
THE darling is nothing but a small
bundle Of nerves.
To soothe and strengthen the infantile
nervous system the specialists now re-
quire his surroundings to be of the most
quoting nature. This not only applies
TO physical treatment. but to the actual
furnishing of the nursery or room given
over to this autocrat. Besides being all
that sanitation can make it, the nurs-
cry, according to the latest canons of
art and hygiene. must be all white; no
color must be visible in any part of the
apartment to distract the tiny occupant
his mlnd must lay dormant until SUI
fictent physical strength will admit of
the little brain being put to work. A
truce is sounded to Greenaway fittings.
Mother Goose dadOes and friezes and
the pictorial education which took its
start in erstwhile nurseries from prints
Of Madonnas and like subjects hung in
conspicuous places. These educators
will have their place and season later
on, but for the first year at least of his
majesty's life all color is banished. This
white IS not of a cold. chalky tone. but
is of a creamy. ivory tint The walls Of

ished, are painted an ivory white. A
most attractive frieze runs above the

The modern baby does not know the
luxury of being rocked to sleep, but
takes his siestas in a crib. In this ur

cambric-linen is too cold and slippery
beautifully monogrammcd in a small
design with the tiny occupants initial
letters surrounded by a wreath of some
flower suggestive of his name. The
blankets are Of the finest Angora wool
bound with wide white ribbon. The
spread is a beauty made of heavy linen
exquisitely embroidered. OF course this
covering is not in commission when the
baby is occupying his sleeping quar-
tiers. as it would be too cumbersome and
stiff. The object of its being made of
the material mentioned is because of its
washable qualities, and. again, several
of these spreads may be provided, and

beautifully embroidered, which, like the
bedspread, may be replaced by another
when its pristine freshness is past.
The smartest way of disposing of the
dainty layette is to have a few shirt
waist boxes of varying sizes prettily
covered and trimmed with ribbon bows
and slightly perfumed with sachets.
Speaking of bows reminds me that the
we'll equipped wardrobe must boast a
complete set of bows including rosettes,
butterflies and large bowknots, to dec
crate the ends of baskets, pillows. quilt
and baby carriage. and the fashionable
fad is to have the lining and body of the
baby cart match in color. Pale pink
enameled carriages lined with the same
becoming shade are fascinating per-
ambulators for the wealthy infant to
take the air in.
The handsomest toilet sets consist of
twenty-seven pieces, but the average
babys toilet is made with a set of seven
articles. Extravaganza runs riot in
these accessories, and the millionaire
infant often has his toilet articles of
gold or silver set with gems. Just as
attractive and much more sensible,
even where money is no consideration.
is the celluloid toilet set having sprays
of forgetmenots painted on its different
pieces. The newest sets of celluloid are
shades of green
The weighing scales must not be for
gotten. The latest scale designs are tall
and slender, standing on the ground,
and the weighing part rests upon a low
table built especially for it. On these
scales the baby is weighed every week.
The measuring stick is another neces-
sity and is a yard long and painted with
cute childrens figures. Some of the
sticks are lettered. How high will the
baby grow"
Then come triple mirrors to hang on
the wall. They are small and designed
for the baby's use. the nurse holding the
tot up every day to survey himself back
and front. The usefulness of this pro-
ceeding is not evident to the average
person outside of the baby culture cult
All these sanitary and newfangled
ideas viii not supplant in the heart of
most mothers their love of dainty frou-
frou things for the king or queen of the
nursery. They will cling with pleasure
to the toilet basket of net lace trimmed
and beribboned and to the crib with its
curtains OF muslin and ruffies of lace
Iooped up with huge bows of satin rib

AS soon as the baby daughter of a
German farmer can run alone she is
provided with stout linen bag marked
with her name. 1t is intended as the
receptacle Of all the feathers she can
pick up.
Every bit of down is a treasure to
her, and the sooner the bag is filled the
more praise she receives.
When the bag is quite full it is emp
tied into a large one hanging in the
garnet, and the feathers collected there
are made into pillow beds, quilts, etc.
