When Children First Walk

Too many parents make the mistake
Of encouraging their children TO walk
before the little legs are ready 10 bear
the youngsters weight Backward
babies are the exception, and even
where they may seem so. Il Is probable
that nature knows best. and that the
child Will be eager 10 walk as soon as II
is a physical possibility. Nearly all
bow-leggedness IS caused 5y this over
anxiety OF parents. and even graver
harm may be done to the soft bones
and tender muscles.
Once the baby does begin to walk.

aid him in his new-found accomplish
ment. The so-called baby tenders" are
excellent. and serve well during the
transition from the creeping 10 the
walking stage
See, too. that the bs by's shoes are
OF sort 10 endure good use. The pa
per-soled bootees Of his earlier days
must now be discarded. and tiny leather
shoes procured instead. II he has the
slightest tendency TO weak ankles, buy
the specially stiffened shoes made to
remedy this, anG in this case keep him
from walking as far as possible until
they become stronger.
Let him walk indoors entirely at first;
postpone his first outdoor Journey until
some warm, pleasant spring or sum
mer day. And let it be a very long
time, indeed. before you let him navi-
gate the stairs by himself; the slight
est misstep might cause a serioss fall.

False Economy

II Is no real waste of money to eo,,ip
ones workroom with the hundred and
one conveniences which are such actual
time savers. There is no economy in
cutting out with half-size scissors, for
instance, when a pair of excellent
shears car be bought for 50 cents or
less. and which will take half the time
in the using. There is no economy in
using ordinary scissors for cutting but
tonholes and running all sorts of risks
of running the garment by cutting too
far or cutting crooked when a pair OF
buttonhole scissors win do the work
unerTingly. A dozen such instances may
be cited.
Among the things which each work
basket should contain is a markiLe
wheel. and II is a matter OF surprise
that so few women use or even posse IS
one, as they cost so little. and are such
a saving Of time
1t IS quite possible, however, to cut
on from garment already finished am
excellent pattern, with the aid OF a
stout pin. The garment is laid over
ones paper one piece at a time. regard
less of any of the rest Of the pieces. and
smoothly pinned fast. With the stou.
through garment and paper When
separated and the paper is held to the
light no difficulty is experienced in
following the pr;cked outline and she
pattern can then be cut out.

Shall The Maid Haze a Key?

1t Is a grave question whether the
ore maid employed by most American
''middle-class" families should be put
quite on a par with her employers by
the possession OF free ingress 10 the
house. Where the girl" Of today has
just superseded her OF yesterday. and
VIII in turn soon be succeeded by her
Of tomorrow, the answer should be a
decisive negative
No woman enjoys the idea OF her
house being entered at any hour of the
night-or early morning-by a servant
who may even bring with her the COM
panions with whom she has spent her
evening nor. when the cook has lost
her key, does she relish the thought of
the person into whose hands IL may
have fallen.
On the other hand, il becomes n tedi-
Gus ordeal indeed TO wait up night after
night to let the wanderer in. In rural
communities the key under the dOOrmat
may solve the problem. but in large
cities this Is hardly practicable. One
woman has an understanding with her
maid that II the latter returns home later
than half-past 10 O'Clock she need not
expect TO enter again until morning.
This is ali very we'll if the girl has
a home near by, but such a rule may
prove the height Of cruelty. Here. as
everywhere, circumstances alter cases,
and the matter is perhaps one for every
mistress and every maid. The decision
Of the question will rest with the char
acter of both.

Care of TablecIofhS

When not in use, a tablecloth should
be kept in folded creases, and when
brought out to be spread should be laid
on the table and unfolded its entire
length, the width being doubled. with
the center crease along the center of
the table. Then the half breadth that
is folded should be turned back and the
cloth will hang even. Careless servants
often gather up a cloth anyhow" with
out taking the trouble TO fold IL up again
in its own creases, and thus fresh ones
are made. A tablecloth will keep fresh

folded up In Its own folds and put away
