 Gowns for Day Weddings
 At day weddings, either at church or sat home, at wedding receptions, lunch cons, afternoon teas, or card-parties, women guests wear reception or visiting dfesses, and hats and white kid gloves. H.fs are not removed at any of these day affsirs.
 If wearing heavy outer wrap or long coat when driving In winter, this is taken of and left in the dressing-room at re- Caption or tea but if one is wearing a little coat, which is part of ones recep- 6on dress, 1t need not be removed, and one does not take off ones furs. A shcrt visit only is made at a tea, or re- ,ception, and for this reason one does not remove outer wraps, unless they are cumbersome.
 It is quite allowable to go to tea, or card-party, in a plain tailor-made street dress, if one prefers. Wraps are re- moved at card-party, as guests are ex- pected to remain two or three hours. Gloves are taken off when taking ones seat at table at sitting down" wedding breakfast luncheon, or card-party. Gloves are not removed at standing upv collation. at wedding reception. Church Weddings
 If a wedding is in church, the brides mother wears hat and does not remove it when returning home for the reception. Her dress may be of finest cloth, or of silk or velvet The color chosen is usu- ally gray or mauve, although any pre- ferred color may be worn.
 Bridesmaids wear hats at day we'd dings, or they may wear short yeils of tulle. fastened with small wreaths of ar tifcial flowers.

have said laxative might be needed. but it is best to regulate the child as far as possible by means of coarser bread, or use Indian meal as cereal at breakfast, with stewed fruit orsprunes- Respect . chflrs Pride
 Sensible parents do not correct, or of others; they do not talk before him of distressing things, illness. accidents, crimes or problems of life.
 Play is an important part of childhood and should be encouraged It gives joy, contentment and occupation. A chilfs world is one of imagination, and is very rcll to him. His blocks, balls, water eolors, scrap-books, sand. spools and gar~ den tools are very serious things to him. In his play a child learns to have re- sources, to depend on himself; he is ac- tive, determined, absorbed; his mind grows in healthy power of imitation, in- vention and imagination.
 His play should not be controlled by older persons. Much may be learned of his disposition in his play. When with other children does he lead or follow; is he fair or unjust, generous or grasp ing, amiab1e and forgiving, or quarrel some and vindictive?
 Mothers and fathers who are wise will cultivate childs imagination. He may be told stories from history, the 3beautl- full and simple stories from the Bible. Story books and music books should be in every home. A mother should use her talent in music, small though it may be, in giving the pleasure that is derived from simplest songs and music.
 Awake an Interest in Love of Nature
 A child's interest should be awakened in love for Nature, for animals ana birds. If he is taught that the humblest living creatures should have his protection and affection, he will never be thoughtless or cruel in his treatment of them
 A child may be told of Gods love in the wonderful gifts of the things of the earth, the flowers and fruits for beauty and use.
 Wonder may be awakened in his mind in the immensity of the universe, the glory of the sun, the beauty and mystery of the stars, the expanse of sky and sea.
 The religious spirit should be fostered in childhood Unless this is done 1t will not have strong growth.
 The personality of the mother has much to do in originating in the child the earliest ideas of God and immortal ity. The sincerity of her faith, her rev erence for all sacred and holy things- these are almost urconsciously observed by child and form an irnoression ne-cr to be forzottc-.

 Take hot baths at night to arouse the sluggish circulation, and brisk rubs with flesh brush or rough towel to make the skin of the body red. Quicken circulation by walks and other exercise. , If your life is very humdrum, and you see little chance of varying it, use your imagination, as do the children in their play, and make a change in that way. An ancient hymn writer declares that the sweeping of a room can be done to the glory of God. So the daily acts of life, infused with new and lofty thoughts, commonplace. Above all, the nervous must learn se1f-forgetfulness

 He occasionally gets bad breath.
 Your nervousness when you talk with people will pass away if you try to talk with a number of people, and pay no attention to your feeling about it. Try and eat all the nourishing food that you can. You know by experience what agrees with you better than can tell you at this distance.
 When the boys breath is bad, it is likely that he is constipated and needs laxative. The following is good diet list for child of two and half years. He should have four meals day. At the hrst meal, say at 7.3o, one or two tumblerfuls of milk, saucerful of some of the breakfast cereals (if rice or oat- meal or Indian meal, care should be taken to cook them thoroughly, and a couple of slices of bread and butter, the bread day old. The second meal, say, at II A. M, glassful of milk or a cupful of meat broth, with bread or a cracker. The third meal, at P. M., a slice of roast beef, lamb, mutton or chicken, baked potato moistened with gravy-the potato well mashed and the meat minced fine; slice or two of bread and butter, after which saucer of rice or bread pudding, custard or some simple dessert. Fourth meal, at o3o, glassful of milk, one or two slices of bread and butter or milk toast, baked apple or stewed prunes. The times you can adjust to suit your convenience, but the meals should be about this distance apart, regulated with SO many hours between; and 1t is very necessary to be regular in feeding. I

One teaspoonful of each will be sufficient. The tomatoes must be ripe and, like the apples, be wiped with a damp cloth. Remove the core from the apples, but the skins will be eliminated when put through colander.

CREAMERY GOES TO WALL
Fire Losses and Unsuccessful Expert.
nent Causes Of Failure.

Hudson. Mich. oct. a. II was pay
day for September milk at the Hudson
creamery. but there was nothing doing
When the farmers came in with their
loads of milk they found the creamery
closed and in the hands OF Andrew
Meredith as assignee. The monthly
pay roll OF the creamery is said TO have
been $1,000.
The failure is attributed to several
causes. In connection with the Hud.
