pEsr WAY 10 aAre PICTURES.
Should Never Be Placed at an Angle
to the Wall.

Does anybody still hang pictures at
an angle to the wall? Has It nos
been impressed on everybody that \
picture to show to the best advan-
tsge should hang fat against tho
wall?
II was not long ago that every pic
ture dipped ct an angle maybe of 80
degrees. The grouping of pictures
was. of course, impossible. when this
practice was followed, because no two
could ever be made to hang at tho
same angle. Now pictures are hung
fat.
Tie tendency to put as little fur
niture as possible into rooms has had
its effect on the walls. One picture
is now hung in the center of each
wall. Broad ribbon-like hangings are
frequently used instead of wires c,
least the wires are hidden by these
ribbons, which fall from a rosette at
the ceiling. Sometimes a very heavy
silk cord colceals the wire and the
cord is tied in fiat bow ut the cell

A Few Simple Rules for the Guidance
Of Young Mothers.

The less noise a baby hears, the less
he is carried about and played WITH
Cor the first six months of his life, the
better it will be.
1t is seldom necessary to take him
from his crib, except for his bath and
meals. The habit OF tossing him about
and trotting him on the knee makes
him nervous and wakeful, and cannot
possibly a. any good.
His unde eloped system calls for
rest, yet he is often denied that priv

are to a great extent creatures oil
habit, and they cannot acquire habits
that are conducive to proper develop
ment and health of the body at too
early an age
1t is during sleep that the building
up forces work without interruption
and the child gains in flesh and
strength.
Have regular hours for his maps,
and see that everything is favorable
for sleep at tina; time. There should
be no tight bands to hinder respira-
tion.
Place his crib in such a position
that the light will not shine direct
ly upon his face-preferably in cool,
quiet corner. DO not cover him too
warmly; change his position occS
sionally, and he will sleep longer.
If baby is restless and does not
sleep well, it is we'll to remove some
Of the covering. Baby should not be
covered too warmly, but should have
just enough covering so he won't be
cold.
Never give your baby soothing sirup
Of any kind. except on the advice Of
your physician.
Whenever baby shows the slightest
symptoms Of sickness it is best to call
a physician at once, since muSh harm
may be done by only few hours de-
lay, and the little life is far too pre-
1fous to be sacrificed needlessly.
