Especially Useful in These Days When
Elaborate characterization of Lin

Lingerie that is dainty and sheer

work is lavishly trimmed with ribbons
and lingerie that is plain and of do
nestle make has quantities of ribbon

the well-dressed woman of to-day is
particular about the decoration and
beauty Of her undergarments. All this
trimming with ribbons means few
hours work each week, and as many
women prefer to reserve this ribbon
running for their own spare hours
rather than to give it to the maid to
do they provide themselves with an
outfit comprising the latest and most
attractive bodkins, ribbon holders,
fancy bags and scissors.
One of the novel offerings in this
line is a miniature fish basket made

Restful Room.

Tones of brown and soft yellow
with a little white and a good deal of
green are very restful for a room in
which much time is spent such as a
dining-room or a study A pretty lit
tie workroom fitted up for girl who
writes and is singularly sensitive to
her surroundings has walls of soft
green. The brown polished floor has
two dim-colored Persian rugs. The
couch pillows are of green and white
and yellow and wood browns. The
desk and bookcases are Of mahogany,
the woodwork of the room is white,
and the hangings of the wide window
and the coverings of the chairs and
couch are of linen tatfeta with a
ground of tan on which are woody
brown leaves and pale yellow flowers
with fresh green stems. The effect is
very bright and yet not too light for a
winter room.

WHEN BABY is CHRISTENED.
Rules Generally Observed at This I'm
portant Ceremony.

The christening ceremony should
take place at the church unless there
is very good reason for doing other
wise. Relatives, sponsors and friends
are invited to be present either YER
bally or the mother sends informal
little notes telling of the event, giving
the hour, etc. After the service a
luncheon, or supper may be served.
to which the clergyman, sponsors and
relatives are invited. If nothing elab-
crate is desired 1t is perfectly proper
to have refreshments suitable for an
afternoon tea, with the time-honored
caudle, which is a dring always Of
fered in olden days on the occasion of
a christening.
This is the rule for making; it is
best to prepare most of il the day be-
fore using: Stir two cups of oatmeal
into three quarts of boiling sailed
water; put in three sliced lemons, a
large cup of seeded raisins, a grated
nutmeg and stick of cinnamon Cook
in double boiled for two hours.
strain through colander and leave to
cool. Before serving heat to the boil
ing point, add pint OF best brandy,
a pint of mulled sherry, half tumbler
of rum and one quart of scalded milk.
Place in punch bowl; serve in bouil-
Ion cups with silver ladle. placing
a spoonful of whipped cream on the
top with bit of grated lemon rind.
1t is customary to ask young matron
to serve the caudle.
All the decorations should be white,
flowers, candle shades, cakes, etc. The
bonbons must be white sugared al
monds. they are invariably used at
French christening parties. Great
care should be taken in selecting the
god-parents. 1t is customary to give
a boy two god-fathers and one god,
mother: a girl has one god-mother and
one godfather. If people have means
1t is proper to bestow gifts upon the
baby, who is supposed to be about
two months old at this time
After returning from the church the
child is not in evidence, but is kept
quiet In the nursery following all the
unusual excitement. In some families
the same christening robe is handed
down from generation to generation
This is very pretty custom and one
to be commended. Reception gowns
of the simplest character are worn
for this is first of all, religious cere
mony and should not be turned into q
large society function.
