To Send
Children happily to bed is one of the moth
ers most thankful of tasks. Whatever the
child's daytime naughtiness may have been,
at nightfall he should be forgiven and go
tc rest with the mothers kiss on his lips
and her tender voice in his ear.
Hardly anything can be worse for a
young child than to be scolded or punished
at bedtime and to carry into its dreams
harshness or gloom. The mother does we'll
to be little blind to some things and re-
member that much childish culpability is
superficial and washes off almost as easily
as the soil from hands and face in the even
ing bath.
When the nursery brood is undressed and
in bed, the lights turned low, and the room
Quilted for the night, the mother or older
sister can sweeten their last waking mo-
ments with stories before they embark for
dreamland While the most exact and rigid
truthfulness should be practiced in our
dealings with children, and they should be
taught to shun all equivocation and lying,
still we need not fear to satisfy their vivid
baby imagfnations with the literature OF
fairyland. They early learn to find the
truth wrapped up In the husk of the story.
Fairy lore Is older than civilization; and
its stories with variations have been taught
and told to children in all ages and all
climes, and their origin is in the needs and
hearts of the race. Children thrive on
fairy lore, and when early fed upon 1t APP
preciate all the better the grown-up books
of their fellows.
The Baby's-
Bed in its most approved fashion is made
OF willow and woven palm wrought Into
delectably cozy nests for the wee ones.

The walls may be painted, they may be
papered with enameled tile paper or they
may be whitened or whitewashed. The old
fashioned whitewashed wall has much to
commend itself, since the whitewash acts as
a disinfectant and thoroughly purifies the
wall every time it Is applied: but IT can
scarcely be renewed oftener than once a
year and cannot be cleaned save by a new
coat. Enameled paper does not absorb odors
or smoky moisture as ordinary paper does
and next to the tiles themselves is consid-
cred the ideal kitchen wall covering.
The American fashion of keeping pots and
kettles and other kitchen utensils in a closet
by themselves instead of hanging them on
hooks about the kitchen is sensible. The
European way of hanging the articles in
broad light may add to the picturesque eff
feet of the kitchen, but the utensils collect
dust.

Another attractive bed room In the same
house was papered in delft blue and fur
nished in oak, with a few etchings on the
walls and soft rug on the floor. The
washstand again stood in an alcove, which
had picturesque little window to let in
plenty of light, and dainty grill work over
the entrance. from which hung blue por-

The happy results arrived at by some spe-
cialists and skilled artists are not, perEaps,
SO much from the caprice of taste or an in
spiration of the moment as from an accept
ance of an adhesion to certain definite laws
and knowledge of styles. Without sticking
strictly to style, the dominant note of the
room should not jar, and there should be
some homogeneity between the decoratio
and the furniture.

and beauty of a properly furnished kitchen.
Yet the dust and cobwebs of a neglected

while the greatest menace to the health of
a family lies in kitchen neglect, and no one
can expect a servant to take interest in

furnished with broken-down furniture.
The kitchen needs large windows, through
which plenty of light and fresh air can en-
