THE YOUNG MOTHER IN THE
HOME.
By Emelyn Lincoln Coolidge, M. D.

Although Baby Brother had never
worn very long clothes, his mother
felt that at the age of four months
he should have them made even short
er, thus allowing him more freedom
to develop his little legs. She made
him four new dresses, two of white
dimity and two of nainsook, and she
shortened four of his first dresses by
cutting off part of the bottom of the
skirts and making deep hem. The
new dresses were made with finely
tucked yoke and a few tucks i'll the
skirts just above the hens; at the
wrists and neck a little narrow lace or
embroidery was put. No elaborate
trimmings were used, as the mother
considered these out of place for
baby, especially boy, and preferred
to spend what she could afford in fine
material The dresses reached Just
to the baby's ankles This baby had
never worn white petticoats, but his
mother now made him three to wear
under the very thin dresses. These
she made on thin, cotton waist that
buttoncd in the back with small, flat
linen buttons. Some of the long fan
mel skirts she cut off at the top and
gathered them on to little cotton
waist similar to that of the white skirt
she also made two new ones, so that
all in all the baby had six flannel pet
ticoats The little shirts and bands OF
ribbed knit wool with shoulder straps
remained the same, also the stockings
and night dresses, but in place Of the
wool bootees little moccasins made OF
channels were now employed. AS the
baby would so soon need summer
coat the mother decided not to go to
the expense of buying heavy cloak,
but to make the long one do until he
could use one made of lightweight
material next month.
The baby had begun to "drool' 4
great deal of late, showing that his
teeth were beginning to push their
way up from below. He wet his little
dresses so much that he was obliged
to wear bibs; these were made OF
nainsook with a thin layer of waddng
then cotton lining Even these were
wet through at times, so the mother
made a bib of thin waterproof ma

at home every night; very thin and
dainty bread and butter sandwiches
were served with this, also some CO.
Goa (not chocolate). At the close Of
this course the maid brought in the
ice cream, which represented a hen
sitting on her nest, the cream Icing
simple vanilla and the nest spun bar
ley sugar. The birthday cake was
cut, each child having one small piece
to eat with the cream, and there wa,
great deal of fun in seeing who
would find the little rabbit. Before
leaving the dining room dish Of pep
PERMITS and homemade molasses
candy was passed, each child takng
two pieces, and last of all that old
and much enjoyed wind-up to child
rcn's partes-a dish of swapping mot
toes. The little baskets which had
been used for the egg hunt were found
very useful for taking home the pres
cnts.
The nurses and relatives came
promptly for the children, so that
before half-past six all the little
guests had gone, and, although the
children had a little more to eat than
usual, they had had something sub
stantal as we'll as the sweets, and it
was not necessary for the mothers at
home to coax down another suppet
for which they had no appetite after
being overloaded with sweet things.
In the spring and autumn all the
children in the family paid a regular
visit to tic dentist; sometimes there
was nothing to be done, but a careful
inspection of each little mouth was
made and even the smallest hole was
promptly filled The first set of teeth
as we'll as the second set were ex-
amined and filled whenever necessary;
in this way they were well preserved
and the jaw was kept properly eX-
banded and ready for the second set.
instead of getting shrunken after it
had been necessary to pull out neg
cctcd teeth of the first set. A child
of two is not too young to begin his
regular trips to a good dentist. lie
should be taught not to dread these
visits in any way, and will not know
there is anything to dread if the idea
is not put into his head by adults; fol
il he goes early and is watched calc-
fully there will, in all probability be
no painful work to be done until lie is
considerably older. In consequence"

this the baby wore under the white
bib. Many babies take cold from wet
clothing on their chests caused by the
increased flow of saliva at teething
time.
The baby's milk formula was now
changed to the following: two ounces
of milk taken from the upper half of
a quart bottle of milk, three ounces
of boiled water, quarter of tea
spoonful of sugar and a pinch of BIZ
carbonate of soda. He had gained in
weight rapidly the past month and
now weighed thirteen pounds.

fear at the sight of strangers, PREFER
ing to be held by his mother when a
visitor in the room; but if the guest
was gentle and spoke to him softly
and pleasantly he would usually con-
sent to her taking him after short
time. He would hold little rubber
toy in his hand and look at it and
talk to it long time, or gaze at
bright ball or other object apparently
much interested in it.
Little Sisters birthday came in carly
April and although this mother die
not highly approve of parties fo'
young children she was at last pre-
vailed upon by the children to Civ,
a little one. She decided, however, to
make it harmless and sensible PARTY,
having the hours short and early AMI
the refreshments served as nearly rs
possible at the regular tea time of the
little people. A few days before the
birthday the mother wrote six invita-
tons on little cards with a picture at
the top, and Big Brother delivered
these at the homes of the six little
guests. The cards stated that the
hours were to be from four until six
p. m. AS it was very nea~ Easter an
egg hunt was to be the c eff feature
of this party To make little folks
happy it is not at all necessary t.

Inexpensive toys that may be playe
with without fear of injury and that
leave some room for the imagination
are the kind most loved by little chill
drcn, and should always be selected
IN preference to costly mechanical
articles which easily break and Of
which the children soon grow tired
Realizing all this the mother made
her purchases at the five and ten-cent
store. She bought number of little

in each she placed tiny toy OF some
kind. She also purchased some little
chickens and rabbits and few glass
eggs and ten little baskets. The four
pink candles for the birthday cake an
the little pink rosebud candle holders
she also found at this store, as well
as tiny white rabbit, which was to
be baked in the cake in place OF the
usual ring. All the little presents were
equally divided into ten lots and wrap
rcd in ten different colors of tissue

the house Each child was given
badge made of ribbon which matched
one of the ten different colors of it's
sue paper; the badge was fastened to
the child by means of small safety
pin. He was then given a small bask-
ct and told to hunt for presents done
up in tissue paper which matched his
own badge, but not to touch any OF a
different color that he found. 1t tool
some time to find all the presents
and the children had 4 very merry
time with their hunt.
There was still some little time left
before half-past five, the supper hour,
so they played games, many of lheoc
being familiar to all the children. as
most of them attended the same kin
dcrgarten as Little Sister. At half
past five they sang one of the march
ing songs, and'two by two went into
the dining room where the pretty ten
table was spread. Each little guest
knew where to sit, for at his place was
small fern with pretty cover of its
sue paper around the little pot, this
paper matching his badge. These lit
tie ferns cost only five cents apiece,
made very pretty table decoration
and ave the little people something
to care for at home, a pleasant re-
