When bathing a baby there are three
very important things to remember.
First of all, the water must be the
right temperature, and always the
same. Test it by putting the elbows
in-the hand is not safe guide. The
second thing to see is that the room
be quite warm and free from draughts,
and in the third place, never battle a
child just after it has been fed, as
there is always danger Of commissions
if he is plunged into hot water with a
full stomach

strongly expressing individuality, and
an artistic picture in one For
photographs like this the ordinary orna-
mental frame is not in the least fav-
ored. Instead, they are framed in dull
brown woods, without mounts, exactly
as reproductions of famous paintings
are done. The effect is extremely
good, and the portrait itself rather
than the frame, is thus given the prom
inence it ought to have.

The Girls Den.


To girls who work or who are try
ing to improve themselves in any way
a 'den" is necessity. This is place
where work may be left about with
out fear of interruption. The mother
Of the family should consider the
''den" as the property of her daugh-

invitation. 1t is we'll for the different
members of a family to keep some
place to themselves; for the mothers

the husband and children feel it an
honor to be admitted: for the daugh-

where the whole family, if the girls
wish it, may assemble when the days

The vogue of the Suede glove seems
decidedly on the wane, glace being
much preferred, though both are worn.
For the long evening glove glace is
the newest and most elegant.
Pure white gloves are less popular
than they have been. Pearl gray,
fawn, champagne, "old lace" tints and
other slight deviations from pure white
are preferred. And this In face of the
fact that white furs were never so
much worn as at present.

PROFOUNDLY Significant Confession
of IA PhiIOsOphic ''OId Maid"
l hesitate to speak of one aspect Of
the life of old maids, and yet it is the
aspect which is the ground of all oue
| woes, all our disabilities. Here we are
| in the world, we women, designed by
nature for one great use, the peopling
of the world. But something makes
| us-uS unmarried women-rebels to
| the great COMMUNICATING rebels,
| perhaps, but none the less doomed to
the punishment of rebellion. Because
we were proud and silly; because we
were vain and weak because we
were cold and shallow; because we
were seers of visions and climbers
after the impossible; because we
wanted riches; because we dreamed
of a black-haired sutton to the utter
undoing of a red-haired one because
our parents dismissed our early wooers,
and no others appeared; because,
sometimes, men were tickle; or be-
cause we were born in Massachusetts
| instead of Utah-whateve the rca-
son, we stand rebels to the great ctm-
| mand. And we pay the price of that
rebellion to nature which civilization
| has imposed upon us. We miss the
| joy of love, and the nobiL of
worthy motherhood. 1 have some
times thought that there can be no
bliss on earth greater than that OF
loved and loving wife who folds her
child in her arms, and feels her nus
bands arms Unfold them both. Here
| the human being touches divine
| heights is creator and protector, ''al-
lied to that which doth provide and
not partake" No unmarried woman
ever walks quite so close with God as
this, or has such rapture Of harmony
with the universal law Of life.--Ey-

About Colors.

Colors, like flowers, have a meaning
OF their own. White signifies purity,
faith, joy and life; red, the ruby, typi-
f1es fire, love and royalty; blue, the
sapphire, expresses heaven, truth, con-
stancy and fidelity; yellow represents
the sun, marriage and faithfulness;
green Is the color of hope and victory;
violet is the hue Of passion and suffer
ing; purple and scarlet are for holy
things and black is the attendant of
despair, earthliness, mourning and
death

of doing injury to
less positive people, the very emphasis
of their affirmation making up for lack
of argument and want of evidence.
And the worst Of all dog,natists are
those doctors who, barking back to some
old dogma of the schools, insist that
certain patients are beyond all medical
help. because, forsooth, their disease.
are beyond the limited medical know
ledge of the dogmatist.
"When the physicians had given me

ment, varied sometimes in form but
identical in fact, is one of the common
expressions found in the letters of those
cured by uGolden Medical Discovery. "
Sometimes the statement runs; uI was
given up by four DOCTORS" showing a
desperate effort to find relief in local
practitioners. But however the story
begins, it almost invariably ends with
the statement, "I am perfectly cured by
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery"
Persons suffering from uweak" lungs,
hemorrhages, deep seated cough, ema-

to perfect health by the Discovery"
The philosophy of the cures effected
by this marvellous medicine is not hard
to understand. Life is sustained by
food, digested and assimilated. The
basis of health is a good appetite and a
sound digestion. In almost all cases OF
disease loss of appetite is an early symp-
tom, and this is promptly followed by a
wasting of the flesh. For some cause
the food eaten is not being converted
into nutrition and the body and its or.
gans, being starved. must grow weak
There is only one way to get strength
and that is by food. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery heals diseases of the
stomach and allied organs of digestion
and nutrition, 50 enabling the body to
assimilate the needed nourishment.
Thus various forms of weakness" So
called, are cured by the oDiscovery"-
