What can the mothers do when they
have things exchange them,
I suppose, like duplicate wedding
gifts?"
They can do that, perhaps. with the
silver articles, but most of the en-
broideries have been done by the Civ
ers themselves. so. of course. there is no
question of exchanging them; besides,
there is a good deal4of sentiment ex-

sort shoes given to it; it can't pos

Not by walking, to be sure, but there

that a dozen pairs is rather an insuffi-

practically an inexhaustible supply Of

other things is needed"

the visitor. And now will you tell me

Don'ts for Mothers

Mrs. E. Buletti, p. o. Box 232, SonOma
Don't wake the baby when once
asleep.
Don't rock a child. Babies should be
fed, then laid gently in the crib and be
allowed to sleep. The rocking chair
habit is a troublesome one.
Don't eat pickles or any sour food
when nursing the baby.
Don't let the baby sit upright with
out the support of a hand at its back. A
good rule for the first year Of it's life.
Don't let the sun shine directly on
the babys face. Sometimes 1t affects
vision and produces weakness Of the
eyes.
Don't fail to wrap up your little one
well before taking ii out. Spring days
are sometimes cool and the bare handed
outing will often result in a collie.
Don't nurse the baby too many times
a day. Children as well as grownup
people require a certain regularity in
feeding.
Don't let your child walk too soon.
Children differ as to walking, some
early, some late; the bow legged one is
an example of standing on its feet be-
fore it should.

And yet" answered the woman Of
embroideries. you wouldn't think Of
close to such a delicate little creature
as a baby; and while you are making
a cover why not make a pretty one?
There was quite a demand for these
last Christmas. and the ones most used
were stamped on fine white flannel and
embroidered with white and pale col
ored silks.
Here is something else that may be
new to you: now and then the Gus
tomary baby basket for the toilet ar
ticles is replaced by one of these boxes
covered with embroidered or hand
painted linen. There are compartments
here for all the things-the soap box,
the comb and brush, the powder box
and puff, and the ever needful safety
pins. There is lid which shuts down
and, protects the contents from dust.
and as the boxes are very dainty, with
tiny embroidered flowers on the linen
covers and delicate padded Innings, al
together I think they are quite as de-
sirable as the baskets, IL not more so.
You say that the baby shoes look

contrary, nothing could be easier. They
