improves It. the proportion being thirty
grains Of alum, three-fourths of an ounce

For the Baby.

Baby probably needs greater attention
at the change Of seasons than at any
other time. He must have his special
clothes made, and. in fact. must receive
particular attention. 1t is quite true that
flowers will grow to be beautiful without
attention from human hands, but such Is
not the case with the baby.
At this season of the year the mothers
are beginning to think Of preparing
baby's clothes for the cooler weather
There should be a word of warning as
making Of the child's garments The
baby should be kept warm, but not TOO
warm. 1t is quite possible that the
baby'S i'll health is caused ny TOO many
clothes, just as sickness results from
too few garments.
The dressing should be changed grad
ually as the weather grows cooler, and
a change cannot be made from the light
weight garments to the heavy Woolens.
Mothers who have studied the matter
it is best for baby that he be allowed
plenty of fresh air, no matter what the
condition of the weather. except when
1t Is rainy or snowy.
Mothers have also discovered that there
are many things they can do to make
the child beautiful OF course. there are
inherited defects. and they may be cor
rected by the mother who will take pains
and have patience In the work. Physi-
clans were the first to discover the Won
derful results possible In the projections
made during babyhood-results that build
the beautiful man or woman. For In
stance, prominent ears may easily be pre-
vented by little care during babyhood
The cartilage is so soft during babyhood
that with a little persuasion the little
ears may be coaxed to lie back fiat and
close against the head. where the human
ears belong.
Another feature that may be changed
by patient manipulation is the nose. In
this treatment the mothers fingers must

little nose is extremely delicate, ana gen

almost any shape one desires.
In case the nose is fiat over the bridge
the cartilage should be pinched slightly
at this point. the fingers and thumb run
ming ever SO lightly up from the cneek

This motion should he repeated severaI
times each night and morning.
When the nostrils are too wide they
may be gently pressed at the sides, care
being taken that the breathing space
just above the nostril Is not compressed
in any way. This space. between the nos
tril and the bridge should never be tam

In case the nose shows signs Of being
too pronounced in a retrousse style the
cartilage may be gently but firmly pulled
down each day and the bridge of the nose
pressed slightly.
Special care should be given tne baby s

Styles for Boys.

ers to dress their small daughters In

eminent It Is costly fashion. but
peculiarly attractive one.
The little white coats are the prettiest
Of the new garments for these young
boys. White broadcloth is the material
most favored. and when this is made up
In severe mannish fashion, with a mar
row collar Of white velvet and plain
white buttons. the most boyish OF little
fellows cannot complain that this mode
Of dressing him is ''sissified.'' White
corduroy may be substituted for the
broadcloth.
Then there are swagger little white
hats, with brim turned up at one point
and pulled down raldshly at another.
with q funny little tuft Of parrot-color-
ed feathers. White cloth, beaver. plush.
corduroy or even fur may be used for
the hats.
Under the white coats little suits of
white linen are worn just as though the
temperature were not sliding downhil
as fast as 1t can. However. as the
broadcloth Of the coats Is very thick and
warm, the little fellows will not suffer.
