A SHORT time ago a celebrated
IA surgeon was called in to ex-
4 anime q 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 congenital deformity
which prevented its running about
as fast as its more fortunate broth
ers and sisters, and the mother
either unable or unwilling to look al
ter its shaky footsteps, would pat 1t
In high chair and leave 1t there for
the greater part of the day.
The little feet could not reach the
moor, there was no rest board, and In
stinctively the child had curled It's
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
geon's Knife could prevent the child
from being lifelong cripple.

many mothers, who would be shocked
at the mere suggestion, are guilty
daily or 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. 1t Is only necessary

But the swiss which boasts larger

TEW houses today have too many

too few. Often we can make

tractive little rendezvous for one or two

the hall, or on the landing, we can
build a window seat for II, making a
shelf or two below the seat for books

ones. Such a desk as that shown takes
up little room, and could. perhaps, be
used as screen as ell es a desk, by
hanging a little curtain on the back OF
II. and letting II 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 II. A
pretty book rack, and one that is
easily made. Is shown in the illustra-
ton. This rack takes up very little
room and furnishes nicely.
One of the accompanying Illustrations
shows a well-designed hall and stair

lead to a dear little der under the
stairs. Above the den is a landing
which is used as q room.
