Teaching the Baby to Walk

nONT worry il baby is not walking
when he is a year old, and If you
are a young mother don't worry every
older mother you know by asking her
When should baby begin to walk"
because the fact is there is no fixed
date for the performance to begin.
Some babies are Strong on their
pins" at a year old others not until
they are two perhaps or near II, but
this should not make a mother anxious
IL her baby is otherwise healthy and
strong II is, too, a mistaken notion
to think that baby should be taught
TO walk. This is one of the things
that do not require your interference.
Mother Nature manages 1t, and when
the ligaments and bones are strong
enough you simply can't stop baby
from wallSing--not. at least, unless you
actively prevens him from doing so.
There is no objection to holding his lit
tie hands. guiding his steps or putting
him into leading strings" to prevent
his falling against some dangerous OBJ
ject These are things that must be
done to safeguard him. But to put a
child upon his feet when he has no de-
sire to be on them and TO lead him
along against his will under the mis-
taken impression that YOU are doing a
good thing and strengthening his legs
and ankles is to run a very serious
risk of making him bowlegged. The
body pressing against the bones which
are not yet properly hardened causes
them gradually to yield and bend out
ward The result is a permanent de-
formity which even an operation is not
able 10 remedy.
A heavy child should be kept off his
legs as much as possible during his
second year. when he is tcddling about
actively. for II he is allowed to be on
them as much as he wants 10 he is very
likely to make himself bowlegged.
Have you ever noticed a tiny toddleE

pavement in cold weather? I have
and my heart has ached for the little
creature. It is marvellous that any
mother should forget the danger Of cold

they are covered merely by thin solec

because too little suet was allowed in

A RArHruR COVER.

time cleaning their enameled bathtubs.
Here is a way to make the work less

muslin the size Of the tub and round

then stitched around the cover. and
through this a stout tape is run. When
the tub is not in use the cover is
thrown over it and the tape drawn
tight around the projecting edge. II

incredible amount Of wear and tear on

SUCH charming ideas are now evolved
for blouses that these little sepa-
rate waists take on role of Importance
in the wardrobe. What women ever
did without this useful garment is like
wondering how one ever got on with

models are illustrated. In one design
a pretty pinafore effect is worked out
in blue and white striped silk with
scalloped yoke and undersleeves OF
finely tucked net trimmed with bands
Of transparent guipure lace insertion.
This design is equally good for plain

THE NERVOUS HOSTESS.

The hostess with a highly strung
temperament is to be pitied, and so are
her guests, even though her words be
honey sweet. She transmits her nerv-
business to the very atmosphere OF the
house and makes all therein feel that
they are lowering on the brink Of
volcano Would YOU know at once the
woman who has this unfortunate fail
ing? Then watch any pet dog or cat that
she encounters. If II shrinks from her
touch, though she may be in a calm
mood. you may Judge that something
amiss I'm her nature has been detected
by the sensitive little being. Animals
and children discover such irrltability
instinctively, and there are some
grownup human beings who retain
this insight. The only thing TO do
when the hospitality Of the nervous
one has to be accepted is to cut the
visit as short as possible and 10 yield
as much as possible to all her whims.

Boiled Apricot Pudding

About one pound and a half Of apricots

used For the suet pastry use half

half teaspoonful of baking powder
and pinch OF salt.
Well grease a pudding basin. Sieve

a basin Chop the suet finely, mixing
some Of the -four with Il as you do so.
This prevents IL clogging.
Remember beef suet should always
be used for pastry, as mutton fat has
too strong a flavor and is also very
hard.
Mix the chopped suet and -four to-
gether. then mix them to a stiff paste
with cold water. Cut off about one
third Of the paste and put it on one
side.
Roll out the rest until It is about
three times the size Of the top OF the

Drop the pastry into II and press IL
