FASHION DICTATES
WHAT BABY WEARS
Influence of Style Felt Even
in This Domain of
the Home.

Fashions for baby may sourd a bit
faTfetched, yet fashions there z. re, just
as surely as for grown-ups. CT course
there are not the whimsical vasaries
of the Paris modes, but each year one
finds preferences for certain sty les and
materials in Laby clothes.
A cape and hood for summer is OF
white cashmere. IT is buttonholed with
silk and embroidered in the corner.
The ties and bows on the hood are OF
baby blue satin ribbon and there is a
frill of lace insi1e the hood. If one
could not put Oh much hand work on
the cape, the same model is very at
tractive made of white challis hem
edge with pink or blue ribbon. IN place
OF the buttonholing. These capes are
very pretty made OF pale blue or sea
she'll pink outing flannel, bound and
tied with matching wash riboOn.
Though the outer garments may be
made satisfactorily, even daintily, oy
machine. II iS absolutely essential that
the undertaking be handmade. Ma
chine-run seams are hard and rl5gy, and
make the wee on unco mfortable. All
seams must be sey ed as fat and smooth
as possible
The little white dresses are the pret-
tiest things Imaginable. Only very fine
lace should be- used. If any. If possible
real valenciennes or very fine white
cluny is best The most delicate hand
embroidery is very aTming-verftab bic
fairy tracery. OF course. this Is not
practical for the average woman, but
the little frock may be fine and pretty,
though perfectly plain.
The little gowns should be made OF
nainsook. null. batiste or handkerchief
linen, or fine lawn. The bishop style is
very quaint.

MAKING BUTTONS AT HOME
is VERY PLEASANT
PICKUP" WORK.

The handmade button Is not to be
despised. and with deft fingers beautl-
ful buttons may be made at home. It
is delightful pickup" work, mechan-
ical enough 10 admit Of conversation
sprinkled in after the first button or
two.
Some of the narrow novelty braids
woven round and round and sewed as
they are woven make rich buttons. The
gold and silver braids are used in but
ton making for evening dresses. A
basket weave combining the two is a
new and effective covering. but is too
difficult to recommend except TO the
very experienced.
Button decorations and centers Of
shaped Opaque beads, which may be
had at the fancy work counters are
particularly ornate. giving richness
to house gowns and evening dresses
and for repeating some note OF color in
the gown or the iewelry. These braid
ed and beaded buttons are necessarily
less difficult when large; they NAV be
woven on thin. firm silk. or dress ma
covered button mold. A simple design
such as conventional flower with
four petals will make more attractive
buttons than a more complicated de-
sign. After the petals are padded and
worked solid, edge them with an out
line stitch.
Outlining is the better stitch for very
small buttons

NOW IS THE TINE
TO CLEAN CARPETS
Houses Should Be Bright
ened Up and Dust Driven
Away.

just about this time our homes are
beginning to look somewhat dingy and
the worse for wear, and there are so
many little WAYS by which We can
brighten up things.
In the first place, tlle dust from the
fires which have been necessary during
the past months has now somewhat
dimmed our curtains. carpets, and dra-
peries, and it would be wise TO give
our carpet a certain Frightening UP by
the application of some well-knoWn
carpet soap, according TO the directions
enclosed with each piece The clean
ing Of a carpet should be begun as FAR
from the door as possible, and grad
ually worked in one direction until the
last portion near the door is left. when
the room should be closed for an hour
or two and the carpet allowed to dry
thoroughly.
The taking down Of the heavy winter
curtains, giving them a good shake out
Of doors. and then replacing them with
the addition of fresh muslin curtains
win do a great deal toward the I'm
prOVement Of the windows, while prob
ably both easy chairs and couch would
be greatly benefited by having a loose
cover of chintZ or cretOnne made for
them MANY clever aeedleWomen can
accomplish this at home, and no doubt
you have been able 10 acquire odd
lengths OF these materials at consider
ably under their original value
New cushion covers fashioned from
similar bargains will also effect a won
derfui result together with a new
lampshade from crink.ed paper. prOvid-
ed ones purse will not permit of the
purchase Of the finished article. One
rarely realizes how very easily these
lamp shades may be accomplished by
skillful fingers. Three rolls OF paper at
five cents q roll will successfully cover
the largest shade employed
The paper should be cut into requisite
lengths ard zgthered into frills with d
needle and cotton, which, III their
turn, should be applied to the wire
frame, commencing at the top and
working downwar1is. The frfniness
and fiufdness Is attained by pitching
and pulling out the edges of the paper
while the finishing touch consists of a
spray OF colOred flowers. also manufac-
tured from the criERled paper. Or, II
this be beyond your capabilities, once
again no doubt the sales will have
furnished you with realistic sprays OF
artificial flowers, which viii answer
your purpose equally well
Another good plan by which a room
may be renovated and improved is q
slightly alter the position OF the
various articles ef furniture, while. OF
course. a little polishing ard rubbing
UP generally should not be neglected
Unless one pays a very large price for
ones fun iture, the 5o-called brass
handles on chests on drawers. ward
robes etc, have an unpleasant hatit
OF looking very shabby after fe y
years wear. These should be uIt-
screwed and sent TO be relacquered.

KITCHEN SINK SHOULD BE
KEPT CLEAN BY SECURING
IT ONCE A WEEK.

A true housewife should take the
greatest pride IN her kitchen sink and
keep il spotlessly clean.
Tie easiest and best way to clean a
galvanized iron sink which has been
more or less neglected is to rub strong
soap powder into every corner and over
every inch OF surface Let IL remain
on for ten or fifteen minutes. then with
a soft brush go over the whole. dipping
the brush into boiling water
When the sink IS thoroughly scrubbed
polish N with kerosene. rubbing the oil
into the iron and leaving no residue OF
grease behind. The kerosene prevents
II from rusting after the strong soap
powder aud boiling water are used.
Care must be taken that the painted
woodwork around the sink does not
come into contact with the powder, as
II may eat off the paint.
The kitchen sink should be cleaned as
thoroughly as this twice a week, and
every day carefully rinsed out with hot
soap suds.

DOUBLE FLOUR SITTER AIDS
IN TIGHTENING KITCHEN
WORK.

In making salads do not chop your
meats and celery In a chOpping bowl.

scissors. This is quicker, neater, and
cleal-er than the old way.
Cookies can be shaped with the bot

bottom OF the glass into the unbaked
cookie until the indentations are i'm
printed upon the cake Flour the glass
