that is especially advanta geOus. for IL
adapts itself well to the demand for

Foulard seems to have a more brilliant

There is no guide to motherhood so

BY Foolishness.

a certain friend of mine who was ac-
customed to allowing her children every
thing to eat they wanted al any hour
Of the day or night they wanted it,
suddenly adopted a regime OF semi
starvation. Among the children thus in
flicted was a two-months' old baby of
premature birth. He had thrived under
the frequent periods of nouTishment be-
cause his wee jaws were too weak to
nurse long without fatigue, in cQpnse-
quence of which he could never take
all he wanted at one nursing.
But when his mother suddenly decid-
ed that he must have the regular fixed
hours Of feeding prescribed by some
book she possessed on the subject, the
baby became irritable and ill.,
Just spoiled, insisted the mother.
Il intend TO break him of it. I'll just
let him fret it out
At the regular interval of three hours
she would allow the baby boy his uOur-
ishment. The little Jaws, growing
weaker day by day, each time became
too tired 10 nurse until il was suffi-
GENTLY nourished or satisfied In an
hour after feeding the fretting would
begin, and he was allowed to whine
until the whine became a cry and the
cry a piteOus vail.

How startling and dreadful that
sounded In cold plain words. but I knew
the mother ot the little girl for whom
the white ribbon floated from the door

Little Miriam was the victim of a be-
lief In cleanliness amounting almost to
mania. The youngster was put in the
bath four or five times a day, and
literally left to soak. SIc was an
aRacmic child. and the doctor could not
make her mother understand that keep
ing the pores cleansed did not mean
perfect orgy of bathing During one
OF her periods OF soaking Miriam
had a chill. and the little life passed
away
This may be an extreme case, but il is
. true one nevertheless. In one way or
another most mothers are likely to
overdO. Not many of us realize the
difference between a good thing and 4

mothers who were suffering from an
