Very Clever
Piece Of Work.
Should Not Compel Baby
To Use His Legs Too Soon

BY the end Of the third month baby
should be able to hold his head erect.
BY the sixth month he can sit up
straight.
BY this time he should be able TO hold
his rattle.
On no account try to make him sit
up straight until he does so Of his own
accord.
The spinal column in infancy is very
weak, the head is out Of proportion and
heavier than the body When the spine
grows strong enough to support the
body baby viii sit up of his own &C
cord, and you can't make him lie down
(unless by force until ne wants to.
Some babies begin 10 crawl about on
their knees at eight months ole others
not until they are ter or twelve months
old.
It is the same with walking and talk
ing Children vary greatly, and no table
can be made to give the exact time at
which they should do these things.

Fresh Rineapptes Hard
To Find IN the Market

From now on the only safe plan the
housekeeper can pursue in order to
have fresh pineapple for her table is TO
leave a standing order with her grocer.
The pineapple season is Just over. It
Is true of this fruit, however, that after
regular shipments cease a few strag-
Cling crates continue to reach the market
until the new season begins. Their COM
ing is irregular and they seldom remain
on the market more than a few hours.
The pineapple crop this season has
been one of the best ever known from
the standpoint Of supply and quality.
Dealers are Of the opinion that more
struggling crates will reach the market
during the rest Of the summer than is
usually the case The majority of these
will be placed with retailers through
standing orders.

Correct Note Paper Comes in Gray

Strangers are always judged by their
writing paper; but, aside from that,
there is pleasure in having the newest.
and having 1t stamped in the LATEST
fashion.
Gray is undoubtedly the correct color
for all note paper, the shade varying to
suit Individual taste.
In quality it may be either very heavy
or extremely thin; there seems to be no
medium.
Both rough and smooth finish are
seem, and envelopes as a rule have point
I'd flaps. Rarely are square ones used
at present.
Persons who do not like gray viii
find various shades of blue from which
to choose, but great assertion must be
exercised in selecting from this color.

Small cheesecloth or salt bags dipped
in cold water are fine to keep lettuce,
celery, radishes and the like on the ice.
They are much less trouble than dish
and the contents keep longer than any
other way.
Whip cream in the upper part of
double boiler having fine ice or cold
water in lower part. The greater depth
prevents the scattering from the egg
beater which is so annoying when a
bowl is used.
Pour scaIding water over oranges and

inner skin, usually so hard TO get of,
will adhere TO the peel and come of
with it, leaving fruit beautifully clean

If housekeepers who have natural
wood kitchen tables would cut a lemon

well with clean warm water, the result
would be a snowy white board without

Boiled or roasted meat which is to be
