CHILD'S DAILY BATH
SHOULD BE SUPERINTENDED
WITH LOVING CARE.
Some Beauty Hints for the Little Ones,
Whose Greatest Charm 10 Clean
iinsss-Sosp Must Be Per
fectly Pure.

ScrupuIous cleanliness is the first
requisite toward good looks in any
child, and SO a soap is necessary, as
mere water will not get out all the
stale oil and dust that has accumu-
lated In the pores of the skin. But
children have distaste for soap, small
children especially, and so the sapon-
acious bath becomes an agony for both
mother and child
The reason of this is obvious to any.
body who looks back to the miseries
of their own little days.
The soap and water bath, then, can
not be given with too much care in
order not to cause this physical and
mental torture, for once doubt of the
kindness of bathing is raised, it is
hard to quell. Cleanliness is a very
important point to encourage in a
childs mind, for it brings not only inn
proved looks, but health and moral
we'll being as we'll
The daily bath must be made Joy
and not a sorrow with warm, soft wa
ter and soap as dainty and delicate
as can be had. In applying this the
mother should first battle the little
eyes with plain water and soft cloth
kept for the purpose, and, when using
the soapy cloth, go nowhere near
them.
As to the spoonfuls of water which
are allowed to run in the ears it is
dangerous in the extreme, as the sud
den shock of this may, in some ex'
tremely sensitive case, cause deafness,
wholly or partially. When the cloth
is to go into the ear it should be
rupg out and a little soap rubbed on
IT, The rinsing is also done with a
cloth freed of supeTfluous water, and
all the drying of the sensitive little
organ must be accomplished with the
end of a soft old towel wound over the
forefnger.
That a soap which is used upon a
little face should be pure goes with
out saying. A famous soap said to be
| approved by the crowned heads OF
Europe for nursery use, and which is
often employed by grand ladies for
the identifying of their hands, is made
of the purest olive oil that can be
bought. A quart of the oil is put into
porcelain kettle and brought to the
boiling @point, when three pints OF
boiling water, in which four table,
! spoonfuls of refined potash have been
| previously dissolved (the liquid Is
strained) are poured slowly into it.
The stirring must be constant while
this mixing is going on, and then
the mixture must boil slowly, care
being taken to stir it only with q
wooden spoon or paddle and keep II
from burning.
Before 1t hardens at all two drachms
each of oil of verveine and oil of rose
Uranium may be put in for pertaining
and when the mixture thickens like
a Jelly it must be taken from the fire
and poured upon marble or colo
plate to harden.
This can be put up very prettily II
the small porcelain jars which have
contained cream cheese, and authori
ties claim that the soap is all the bet
ter for being kept year or si1
months before using.

THE CLOTHES AND CHARACTER
Neat and Tasteful Morning Dresses
Are Really the Keynote OF the
Personality.

Long ago the wise woman learned
that clothes often tell tales as to char
acter. And of all the tale-bearing
clothes none can equal the dresses
woman wears about the house In the
morning
Do you take pride In your home
and are you willing to work yourself
to always keep it its shining best?
Then, let your clothes, which you wear
In the morning when you are busy
about the home duties, indicate these
characteristics of yours most plainly.
To-day there is no excuse for woman
not to look neatly and tastefully
dressed in the morning There are so
many materials for her to choose from
which launder to perfection and wear
well, too. And there are so many de-
signs specially created for clothes for
morning wear that she need have no
difficulty suiting her own individual
preference.
Two-piece dresses for morning wear
are quite as much the vogue as the
one-piece dress. Many of them, how
ever, have the princess effect, though
they consist of a separate waist and
skirt, for the belt which is made Of
the same fabric is Joined to the skirt,
thus giving the costume effect. The
separate belt made of ribbon or elias
tic betting in a contrasting shade from
the dress is not as good style as it
urnd RI ho thouph with tho shirt waist
suit the black belt will never be
wholly discarded. - Womans Home

"THE SHIP JEWELLERS. .

A really charming book of travel has

Albert Bigelow Paine We employ the
adjective advisedly and with a full
appreciation of the fact that really
charming books OF travel are relatively
rare. Perhaps no form OF literature has
changed more essentially with the deyel-

Time was when the unadorned fact Of an
excursion abroad" was sufficiently I'm
usual to create interest; until the last few
decades, likewise the difficulties and
dangers Of far journeys were in them
selves well worthy OF record. All this
is changed. We travel so frequently and

Of both the essayist and the novelist. He
must look upon the scenes described
often with fresh eyes and must show
them in some new light, from some nov

relation. This Mr. Paine has done He

work after Mark Twain's inimitable In

means assert that he has reached the
standard OF his avowed master. Yet he
tells the story Of an excursion ships

an enjoyment that is most infectious.
with humor that avoids irreverence.

values, standards. and proportions that
