" A DAINTY F4EADREST FOR THE BABY y

furnishings may be plain and untrimmed,
but the fine handwork upon them, their
perfect simplicity and the absolute fresh
ness of every appointment outweigh all
costliness of material
There is fascination, too. in achieving
this daintiness. What invariably has the
greatest sale at a fair bazaar? Baby
things. Ask the dealer In fancy goods
what class of work is most in demand,
and the inevitable reply will be: "Oh, any
thing for a baby"
Particularly does this hold true in re-
gard to coach trimmings. Many a wom-
ans sole idea of fancy work is knitting a
baby blanket, while embroidered coverlets,
straps and umbrella tops are even more
popular.
Nothing, however, quite takes the place
of the baby pillow. No mother ever has
enough of them. Then, too, the fashion
ing of them is really delightful work
easy and noe lifetime task
OF course, the only practical pillow for
a baby is a washable one. All white is
preferable: or, at least. a white covering
over a delicately colored slip. The ma
terials used should be sheer as one can
afford; as for the needlework the finer it
is the prettier.
The little pillow shown today has, to a
rather unusual degree, this quality of

very fine stitch, or. what is daintier, but
slower, do It all by hand. Cut out the ma
terial from underneath the lace and over
cast the edges very neatly. The outer row
of insertion is inferred At the corners.
Make a rufiie three inches wide when
finished. Roll on the lace and put I'm three
thread tucks. The ruffe is much prettier
when made entirely by hand. Allow for
funess n little more than once and a
half round the pillow.
Make the back with a narrow flap across
one end. fastened with tiny lace buttons,
a little below the ruffie. The cover may
thus be easily slipped Oft and Numbered.
The pillow should be of eiderdown and
covered either with a silk or sateen slip in
white, pale pink or blue.
Be sure In gathering the ruffle 10 do II

unobstrusive, but exquisite handwork
may be put upon it.
1t is prettiest in a sheer linen lawn. or.
better yet. in handkerchief linen. made up

Transfer the pattern with impression
paper to the linen. tracing very lightly the

sign may be put in three squares only. as
in the pillow. This will allow place for
the little head to rest without having the
embroidery mark the face.
Use a very fine mercerzed cotton-No.

Home and Its influence on Children.

to receive impressions. Some mothers
with view to saving their carpets. will
keep the shades constantly lowered. and
the dreariness and gloom caused by this
prevailing habit cannot fail to leave its
impress on the young minds.
1t is necessary to realize the Importance
of setting before children good examples
of form and color. Uniformed minds and
undeveloped senses must be preserved
from contact with bad in art well as In
morals. They must have high ideals in
beauty. and the Importance of truth can
be taught by the absence of shams in the
home. 1t is also important that the home
aims at simplicity and does not exag
gerate any of the prevailing styles. 1t Is
SO easy for children to fall into the habit
Of exaggeration. They have such vivid
imASinations that all kinds of Illusions
pass through their young minds. and con-
slant watchfulness Is needed to prevent
them from exaggerating too freely.

Comfort Versus Looks-A Question of Clothes

II suppose" she began with suspicious
gentleness. that all men wear open-work
Isle stockings and pumps in winter time.
1 am quite certain that the average man
who wears evening dress has to own low
necked, sho"t-sleeved underwear to meet
the exgencies of this decollete bodice. I
am positive that no man feels his ward
robe is complete unless he possesses half a
dozen lingerie blouses and one lace one
OF course, since men dress this way they
naturally ought to look as cold as women
do, but"
You put it rather cleverly." admitted
the woman who thinks about things. but
all the same, 1 don't believe your argu-
ment is quite sound. Women might have
all these airy summertime things for in
door wear. but why don't they get DIFF
ferent sort for out-of-door use? Why not
have high boots and a heavier grade of
stockings and thick nannels for the

baby is too dingy looking"
How absurd, Suzanne"
said her friend LAS if that were his
fault, His wife is hopelessly careless"
We'll. possibly she is. but 1 can't help
feeling that a doctor who allows his wife
no keep such a sweet baby looking like
veritabie little pig would never boil his in
struments and stick his clinical thermome-
Ter in a disinfectant during its passage
among his patients mouths. Why. any one
not a sloven would at least try to have
her only child always fresh and dainty

tion of expense"
Daintness-that is the keynote of every
true woman's aspiration for her baby.
Later in life babykins may have to rough

have just the softest, fullest, most

Nor does this daintiness necessitate

'" woman who thinks about things,
pensively. that the average wom-
an looks half frozen to death in cold
weather."
why does a hen cross the road?"
snapped the woman who works for a liv-
ing, peering into her desk drawer for an
elusive pet pencil. "She wants to get on
the other side, of course and the answer
to your question is just as obve ). A
woman looks cold because she is cold"
But why?" persisted the woman who
thinks about things. staring out into the
street that was crowded with hurrying
pedestrians of both sexes and all ages.
Men don't look that way, and IL the rain
descends upon the just and the unjust,
there surely is discrimination in the
temperature that surrounds the masculine

works for a living leaned back with a SUBJ
