 Vanity is responsible for some species her child. not herself. There are women who twist theIr hair in hard knots, ig- nore their waistlines and pass milli- nery opening without the quiNer of an eNelaSh, who deck their children out until they rival the lilies of the held, and then think the poor babies are hap py because they look nice. Short white socks are the fashion. and many tot thus clad have 1 seen on the street on a nippy day. its plump little calves posi- lively blue with cold. During spell or scorchiug weather 1 came down in the ear with a woman and two little girls. Both children wore stitiiy starched white frocks that had I've mustn't he rum pled written all over them.

Did that woman think she was cruel? Heavens. no! She thought she was one of the most devoted mothers on record.
 Mothers who talk about their chil- dren before them. whether in praise or blame. cause q tremendous amount of unnecessary suffering. Children are seldom maliciously wilful by na-' ture, but if their shortcomings ars discussed with an audience they are soon in q fair way to become so: while the injudicious drawing of at tention to good points is sure to de- Velop self-consciousness.
 Don't leave d little child too long in one position. You are liable to spoil its looks and its temper. as well as develop prematurely that curse Of the American nation-nerVes.
 Don't. if 1t Is allowed to come to the table, make 1t sit in a chair that Is too low for it to reach its plate com- fortably.
 Don't make 1t sit unnecessarily any where where it's legs have to dangle. The legs will "go to sleep" and you know yourself that isn't pleasant
 And don't, whatever you do, hurt child's feelings willingly. Punish ments are necessary, of course, scold- ings must be given on occasions. but there are ways and ways of doing things. When you are dealing with the youngsters it is well to remember Aife'3 definition of impudence: I'm pudcnce is when children talk tO grown people the way grown people talk to children"

From Mrs. A. took the car down to the shopping district, and positively l believe there was something wrong with the dress of every woman who got in or out of that car. Not in big things. for as far thing was all right. but the little things were out of gear. One woman had her veil pinned wrong, another wore soiled white belt, third had been economical of hairpins and treated the public to a vision of scolding locks creeping down her neck; fourth-now don't look disgusted. she didn't realize it-hadn't been as thorough in her treat ment of her neck as she might have been when she took her bath.

Dotted Swiss for Cuffs
 and Collars

TOR the girl who indulges in plenty of T turnover cuffs and collars, nothing Is much more attractive than the new ways of treating dotted swiss.
 Swiss with the tiniest of dots has been used for many a long day, the hems set by hand, or perhaps brar- stitched with the soft Trench cottons
 But the swiss which, boasts larger dots. and has those dots treated in a dozen different ways. IS particularly good for the deep cu1ls which are the favorite style this fall.
 Certain of the dots are chosen with which to form a design, the rest of the dots carefully ripped out. A row of dots may be disposed so that they seem to march along the hem in Indian file. Sometimes they are embroidered with colored cotton, the original embroidery acting as a padding.

 At nightfall she drew the offending dress appurtenance from its place at the neck of her blouse and tossed it in the waste basket with a sigh of relief.
 I'll never. never do such a thing again." she said to her bosom friend, who watched this final move. with eyes full of interested speculation. It's the little things that count. after all"
 Ut is with those of us who haven't money enough to buy really nice big ones." said the bosom friend moodily. with people like you it doesn't seem to matter so much.

A SHORT time ago a celebrated
 A surgeon was called in to ex-
 anime a little child whose legs were curved and twisted in the most hideous manner. Careful question: ing revealed the fact that the baby had some slight consenital deformity which prevented its running about as fast as it's more fortunate broth- CTS and sisters, and the mother, either unable or unwilling to look af- ter its shakY footsteps. would put 1t Tn high chair and leave it there for the greater part of the day.
 The little feet could not reach the floor, there was no rest board. and in stinctively the child had curled its legs around the rounds of the chair day after day. until they had become hopelessly malformed. Taken in time the early disease might have been cured but now no skill of the sur Eeon's knife could prevent the child from being a lifelong cripple.
 Horrible, we say, and 1t is; yet how many mothers, who would be shocked at the mere suggestion. are guilty daily Of thoughtless cruelties to their children.
 Most dressmakers will tell you that the average woman has one shoulder higher than the other. and the reason is in plain sight It is only necessary to walk a couple of squares to meet half a dozen women each holding q little child tightly by the hand. abso- lutely ignoring the fact that the baby's arm Is being held high enough

If you have a window in the hall. or on the landing. we can ' build window seat for it, making a shelf or two below the seat for. books pr magazines. This seat could have fitted cushion. and one or two loose ones. Such desk as that shown takes up little room, and could, perhaps, be used as screen as Tell as a desk, by hanging little curtain on the back of 1t. and letting 1t stand out somewhere. Book shelves could be put upon the wall. high enough to allow a chair with a person on it to be beneath 1t. A pretty book rack. and one that is easily made, is shown in the illustra- tion. This rack takes up very little room and furnishes nicely. One of the accompanying illustrations shows a well-designed hall and stair way. There are three little steps which lead to a dear little den under the stairs. Above the den is a landing which is> used as a room. One cannot fail to be impressed on entering this hall. To the right is beautifully appointed dining room, with handsome hand-carved French furni- ture. On the left is a comfortable liv- ing room. The den beyond. with it's

Having the telephone here has proved a great convenience. as 1t can easily be heard both upstairs and down, and 'is readily answered from either place.

She has a beautiful view of the garden from fits windows. and she can keep an eye on her maids moreover 1t Is de- lightfully cool there in summer, though cozy and warm in winter. She often has afternoon teas there with her friends.
 The landing above she uses as a sew ing landing, and also as storeroom for she has had old packing boxes made with hinged lids, and these she has covered with cretonne and chintz, and they look charming. She not only stores blankets, etc., in them, but she also uses them as window seats, as they have padded tops.

Quite naturally wene to her with some small problem the evening of my arrival. and was rather surprised at the eagerness with which she came to my aid. During tho re- mainder of my stay she had me con- stantly with her. She interested her self fin my small gayeties and hneries. and encouraged my condolences by word and look When the time came for me to go she broke down over a pile oe ribbons she was folding to put in my trunk.

 That little word "say'' held the key to the situation. It was not that those daughters did not love their mother and want her love. but they objected to that love being put into words. and year later that mother died with neither of her girls beside her, simply because even in dying she shrank from telling them, that she was ill and wanted to see them.
 Almost daily we pass by opportunities think it foolish to say the little word of commendaIion or appreciation. Often we appear indifferent to beauty of sight or sound. simply because we are afraid or ashamed to put our pleasure into words.
 There is nothing to be ashamed of in the enjoyment of a beautiful painting, Q rare strain of music. a dainty bit of verse, God-given sunset, or an exqui- site human being. There is nothing criminal in the impulse to caress a tiny ten or puppy. It isn't a horrible thing to tell people you care for them and like to have them around you. It Is even pardonable if you occasionally show some slight outward and active demonstration toward those you love.

 Even that bloodless old cynic Voltaire said that An the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women,' and he meant it. A man who Is always ashamed of his feelings is bad enough, though he usually gets his punishment in soon ceasing, to have any feelings to be ashamed of, but woman in the same plight has lost one of the greatest jewels in the crown of her sex.
 Don't indulge in maudlin sentimental ity. between which and true sentiment there Is ever q great gulf fixed. but don't be ashamed to possess the qual- ity that can give an irresistibl charm to the rudest imagery.
