 Immediately the question arises, "How is one to attain an even tempera- ture to start with, and especially if the baby wears no clothes ?"
 A very simple contrivance has been tried and proved most practical and more than satisfactory in every way, having been adopted in several babies hospitals and public nurseries of New York City.

evening dress, as at any evening af- fair.
 It is contrary to all rules of pro- priety to have a repetition of the mar riage ceremony.
 The house decorations should be flowers, ferns, branches and verdure from the woods. Flowers and green cry are in wooden bowls; tall growing plants are in wooden pails or tubs.
 The refreshments are served from large table in the dining-room. A chopping-bowl, filled with flowers, forms a centerpiece. Bread-boards, chopping-boards, wooden trays, bowls, dishes and plates are substituted for china. The refreshments include a brides cake, which is cut by the bride. Chicken salad, dainty sandwiches, ice cream, cake and a mild punch are easily served. The men bring plates of refreshments to the ladies, who stand up or may be seated about the rooms.
 Souvenirs may be wooden spoons tied with ribbons and having the dates printed in gilt on the ribbons.

 Before the baby's bath, it should be stripped for a few minutes and allowed to kick in warm sunlight, and, as it grows older, to creep about for fifteen or twenty minutes, retaining its band.
 Do not put shoes and stockings on a baby until it is old enough to run about out of doors, and then only sandals; so many mothers make a child sensitive to heat and cold by over-dressing the

 The extra width is gathered into a short shoulder seam like the top of a sleeve, and as the child grows older, de- veloping tendency to grab its toys, the side seam is ripped open for two or three inches and faced SO the arms may pass through up to the elbow.

BABY IN A BAG:
 NO CLOTHES
Cruelty of Young Mothers
 Infants Quite Naked

The little mitted bands are much bet- ter than the pinned flannel band, as It saves worrying the baby in pinfsing it tightly enough to make it stay up, which Is also very injurious to the baby. The lkfe knitted ones are manufactured in soft wool and have narrow bands over the shoulder and a little tab backed with heavy material, on which to fasteu the diaper. They come well up over the chest, so no shirt is required for fur ther protection, as with the old-fash- toned band. They are woven all in one piece, so there are no seams to irritatc obtained at any of the large department stores and many of the smaller shops.
 A great saving of labor in caring for the diapers is to have many little squares of old soft sheeting or cheese cloth, cut in squares of about fonr inches, unhemmed of course, and laid inside the diaper, so when soiled they can be easily and quickly removed and burned, this being a much more sani- tary way and thousand times easier. Old linen, if one be so fortunate to possess any, is much superior to new diapering, being much softer to the skin.
 The shape of the diaper is very im- portant consideration. A huge square of many thiclnesses is quite thing of the past It overheats the body and has a tendency to bow the legs A simpler and much more comfortable diaper can be easily constructed at home or purchased at almost any department store, requiring much less cloth and saw ing a great deal of time in laundering. Take piece of cloth from twelve to fourteen inches square and cut off the corners, shaping them as in the draw ing, and sewing to the centre small triangular piece of heavy turkish towel ing or stitched padding. Instead of clumsy safety pins, buttons and button holes may be used or strings adjusted to fasten them with a proper lap and snugness.

The cheesec1oth interlining should be double, to insure no bits of down from coming through.
 This table includes everything neces- sary for a newborn infant until 1t is six months old, when the bags may be altered into creeping rompers or little dresses if one prefers.
 The prices quoted allow for the best quality of materials suitable for the pur- pose. The bags could be made more dainty by the addition of embroidery or feather stitching. The puff could be covered in china silk rather than si1ko- leen or sateen, but otherwise there is no better material available.
 While dainty layette is a great temp tation to young mothers, it is injurious to the child. It IS only a few months before it can wear most fascinating lit-- tie rufay dresses without being tortured in the process of dressing. These bags are highly endorsed by the most promi-- nent physicians and baby specialists of the country as being the most hygienic, scientific and practical garment for the newborn infant and young children.
