one of the first considerations for
baby is the bath. 1t is often the
terror of the young mother when
it comes times for her to battle the
tiny morsel of humanity that seems
too fragile to trust in the hands.
The first real bath in the tub should
not be given before the tenth day, ac-
cording to DR.. Emmett Holt, and never
before an hour after feeding. The room
must be warm and, il possible, the bath
should be given before an open fire.
The head and face is first washed and
dried, then the body is soaped and the
infant placed in the tub, with its body
well supported by the hand of the
nurse. The bath should be given very
quickly and the drying also should be
as quick as possible. without much, if
any. rubbing. Patting dry. is prefer
able.
For the first few weeks the tempera-
ture of the bath should be 100 degrees
F. Later, during early infancy, at 9S
degrees F., and after six months at 95
degrees f.; during the second year
from IS to 30 degrees F.
The best thing to use is a sponge for
washing. and this should be kept for
the scalp, limbs and upper part of the
body. A separate cloth is used for
lower limbs.
There should be a number of the
sponges, so that they be kept perfectly
cleansed and aired. otherwise the eyes
of the child may become infected
through the dirty condition of the
cleansing sponges.
Extreme care must be given the
bathing of the eyes and mouth. The
eyes are cleansed with a piece of soft
linen or absorbent cotton and a luke
warm solution of salt or boric acid,
one-half of an even t~easpooonful to
one pint of water.
1t is always wise to call a physician
the moment there appears to be any
thing wrong with the eyes of an in
FAINT.
A swab for the mouth is made by
twisting a bit of absorbent cotton upon
a wooden toothpick. With this the
folds between the gums, lips and
cheeks nay be gently and carefully
cleansed twice a day, unless the mouth
is sore. 1t is never necessary after
each feeding. The finger Of the nurse
is often too large and would hurt the
delicate mucous membrane
Sprue often appears on the lips like
white threads or flakes, and sometimes
covers the tongue and inside of the
mouth.
The best home treatment for this
condition is a solution of b~icarbonate
of soda, one even ~teaspoonful to three
ounces of water, and four times a day
the solution of boric acid should be
used.
The skin to prevent chafng must be
carefully protected from the use of
strong soaps; the body should be care
fully rinsed to free the cuticle of all
soapiness, Inc rubbing must be
avoided, as the texture of the skin is so
fine. Dust powder under the arms of
the baby in the creases Of the back
and limbs. With very fat infants this
powdering is especially important.
In cases where chatting seems to be
easily produced bran or salt baths

Oh, who will walk a mile with me
Along life's merry way?
A comrade blithe and full of glee,
Who dares to laugh out loud and free.
And let his frolic fancy play.
Like a happy child, through the fiow-

That fill the field and fringe the way.
Where he walks a mile with me.
And who will walk a mile with me
Along life's weary way?
A friend whose heart has eyes to see
The stars shine out DER the d%erkening

And the quiet rest at the end of
day
A friend who knows and dares to say
The brave, sweet words that cheer
the way,
Where he walks a mile with me.

they nave difficulties from the heat and
sudden changes of the weather.
Mothers who have been careful about
the bathing and care of their Infants
in this respect have found they have
survived the month of August, and sell
dom found n difficulty with them in
connection with the proper feeding of
course.
Have as many little slips as possible
for baby during warm weather, so that
he has little burdens to carry and no
embroideries If you love the dainty
little gowns you can do some fine n
work on Notwithstanding, eyelet-
work and French knots-which will be
more beautiful, and no rufles and ex-
tras will be needed. Never starch the
cuffs or neck of baby's dresses; have
the s%oftest. finest fabrics for his slips,
and with his flannel shirt and bands.
wooden stockings, which are better than
the socks, and one flannel skirt and
petticoat of MULE. his little slip will
be all he wants to carry. On very warm
days he will be delighted If you remov
some of his skirts and give him free
dom to kick and cool his feet and
limbs, but be sure you never remove the
abdominal band.
Children must be kept comfortable,
and they must be kept perfectly clean
and sweet to be healthy. There is
nothing nearer a flower than a sweet,
healthy baby; one that is cared for
properly, end there is nothing more
unwholesome than the neglected in
FAINT with sour stomach and unwashed
body.
The infant must be sponged the first
thing in the morning, when its clean
clothing is put on, and bathed before
retiring. II must be fed regularly, and
only certain amounts that the stomach
will hold. Some will tell you that is
nonsense. but such are the ones who
lose their babies with cholera infantum
during the first or second summer very
frequently, and they hav the colicky
baby until the age of twenty months.
Tt Is not unusual still to see mothers
who nurse children to the second year,
and the child looks miserable and has
a peevish disposition, as the liquid food
should be changed after the first year..
and is not sufficient to carry the child
over the second summer without proper

Proper Way to. Care for the Baby


should be given instead of the soap. To
give a bran bath, use one pint of wheat
bran in coarse muslin bag or cheese
cloth. and his is put in the bath
water. Squeeze out for five minutes
until the water resembles thin por-
ridge.
The salt bath is prepared by taking a
teacupful of common salt to each two
gallons of water.
In severe cases of chafing sweet oil
should be used, and all baths be omit
ted for a day; the parts may be
cleansed with sweet oil and absorbent
cotton, the skin kept covered with tai
cum powder composed of starch, two
parts, and boric acid, one part.
In prickly heat muslin or linen should
be worn next the skin and the entire
body sponged with equal parts of vine
gar and water. Plenty of the starch or
boric acid powder mentioned should be
used.
In clothing the child the chest must
be covered with soft flannel and the
abdomen supported with broad fan
mel band, which is never tight, but
snug. The petticoats should be sup
ported by shoulder straps, no pins used,
and the clothing, while not too loose,
should be so fitted there is no pressure
and no punching, Never try to dress
baby in a sitting posture, 1t lies upon
the nurses lap until old enough to sit
alone. The clothing is drawn over
baby's feet-never its heads The fan
mel bandage may be removed after the
fourth month and replaced then by
knitted band supported from the shoul-
der. and is worn until the eighteenth
month. If the child has any tendency
to diarrhoea the band should be worn
until the third year.
The first bandage of flannel Is never
hemmed, but has overcast edges pre-
venting it from cutting into the flesh.
Get the flannel and strip 1t yourself,
~overcasting h edges neatly.
The knitted band later on gives pro-
lection without being a burden to the
child or without slipping up or down.
If the child is liable to prickly heal
a piece of linen nay be worn under the
flannel to keep away the irritation of
the wool, but the wool must be worn
over the abdomen. This is also wisdom
to mothers who suffer from collie dur
ing the warm weather and find that

SOCIETY APPROVES
POPULAR M

Few of us realize how many prom
inent society women wash their own
hair says Mae Martyr in the San
Francisco Gazette. This home sham
pooling is not a fad, but is due to the
splendid results obtained by h use
of a popular. quick-drying shampoo
made by d~issolving a ~teaspoonful of
canthrox in a cup of hot water.
This simple shampoo fathers freely
and ~cleanses perfectly, being equally
good for all shades of hair. 1t rinses
easily and leaves the scalp refreshed
and the hair lustrous. soft and very
fluffy. Dandruff and scalp irritation
disappear Immediately.
THE fact hat the alkali in soap
shampoos has been found to u
stroeky. thin. dull hair may be n of
the reasons Ehy society women have
taken so favorably to this splendid
shampoo, in ord r not only to save but
beautify their hnir."

A DAINTY T FROCK.

Frocks that are made of muslin
test possible for little girls. This one
is all white, but colored lawns and
batistes are much used this season
with trimming of white lace and are
very charming. The model also is q
good one for marquisette and voils,
and it can be trimmed just as illus
trated or more simply, as liked. The
bands of insertion above the hem and
tuck on the skirt are pretty, but not
essential, and the same can be said of
the trimming ON the blouse below the
tucks, Also the neck can be made high,
so that several effects can be obtained
from the one design. Any thin ma
terial can be utilized. The blouse IS
is straight and gathered. For cool days
the dress would be pretty made from
bordered challis, and for morning wear
it could be utilized for bordered BATS
tie and lawn. The. border always can
be, gut. off n used to, trim the waisf.
or something in harmony can be APP
piled over the sleeve and neck edges
There is a fancy this season for en-

FOR FOOT COMFORT.


In answer to the complaints of a
woman who said that summer was
synonymous with sore feet for her, a
prominent shoe dealer gave these hints
on the care of the feet.
A rubbing with cocoa butter once or
twice a week, after a bath, will go a
long way to insuring foot comfort at
all times. Not more thai five minutes
is necessary, at that.
Women should always wear rubbers
when the weather requires, but should
not keep them on IN longer than
needed, as they are rather heavy.
A very successful physician once
said that if women would always keep
their feet dry and warm, n would
take a reasonable amount of care of
them, as in the shoes they wear, his
income would be cut in half.

PROPER CARE OF EYEBROWS.

Pretty eyebrows land, by the way,
they are seldom seem, are the result
of ones untiring effort to make them
so. unless nature was kind enough to
provide delicate markings in the most
artistic form, something which does
not occur as often as n might think.
Dainty brows have the hair running
all in one direction. If the hair is
somewhat stubborn. there is nothing
which accomplishes smoothness more
quickly than rubbing the eyebrows daily
with vaseline or olive oil and brushing
in one direction. 1t takes months and
months to convert little prush heaps
into ~delicately outlined eyebrows and
much perseverance is necessary to
make them truly beautiful.

BOUDOIR HINTS,
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

To give a recipe for beauty is by
no means easy. A good deal. of course,
depends upon what one terms beauty.
If 1t be perfectly modelled features
and a 'statuesuue figure, then l am
afraid there is no ~recipe-you must be
born with, these physical attractions,
for you al never hope to acquire
them.
Still, there is plenty of beauty and
charm outside the realm of perfect
features.
Every has her good points,
physically as we'll as in character, and
of these she car If she have sense and
taste enough to realize them, make
the best by a careful consideration Of
everything which will help to enhance
them. She can study the colors which
suit her best, and wear these whenever
possible; arrange her hair becomingly,
though at the same time fashionably,
and generally give as much attention
as possible to her toilet.
Beauty and charm are very closely
allied, and a charming woman gener-
ally has attractive manners, Is - well
turned out as her will permit,
and always looks dainty and chic.
Care of the complexion and hair is
one of the secrets of beauty.
Above all things, good health is es-
sential to beauty, and to promote this
there must be regularity in meals,
judicious selections of foods, and
plenty of exercise, especially outdoor
exercise, such as walking. tennis and
golf. Sleep should be as regular as
circumstances will permit. and eight
hours in each t~wenty-four is none too
much, although it should be sufficient.
