THE LAYETTE.
6aby's First Wardrobe Should BE
Very Care fully Chosen. fj


1t is almost impossible for young
mother to choose wisely when selecting
her first babys layette. She is told of
so m2ny things she must have that she
finds afterwarG that she rarely uses,
and there are SO many more she he's to
add later that no one thought TO mem
ton
$50 if this delightful task ever falls
to me again." said a young mother re
Gently. II shall spend less on lace edg-
ings and cobweb insertions and set
lside the amount saved for extra laun-
dry work. To keep baby dainty and
sweet requires an almost incredible
amount Of washing and ironing. If the
young mother attempts 1t she will have
little time left for her baby, herself,
her husband or her home.
"In addition to counting on plentiful
laundering, shall make the little gar
ments simpler and put my surplus time
into preparing more of them. A half
dozen each of muslin slips, petticoats
and flannel underskirts, six dozen dia-
pers, one-half dozen each of cashmere
stockings, shirts and abdominal bands.
four bath wrappers and 'nightingales'
and one full dozen nightgowns are
necessary. but no more. The latter
need as frequent changing as the dia-
pers, and yet very few people provide
more than three or four. This gives
no opportunity for more than q hur-
ried rinsing, whereas this garment
needs careful sterilizing and airing
more than any other.
81 would buy the shaped diapers
rather than the straight goods. Though
more expensive, they wear splendidly
and fit infinitely better. l would ex-
pend nothing on costly bath sponges,
which soon become so filthy despite
the best care) that they are a menace
TO baby's tender skin. Instead 1 would
hem all the old linen and damask
squares I could find into wash cloths
of different sizes for the face, ears, nos
trils, eyes and body, those for the eyes
being kept carefully apart. These
cloths should be boiled for twenty min
utes in a soda or boric solution and
then sealed up until needed, and they
should be frequently discarded. 1t is
well also to keep some very soft bits
of linen to clean the baby's mouth with.
using each piece only once. Thrush
and other infantile throat diseases lurk
in dirty washcloths.
Lastly, l would not save the baby's
best clothes with the idea of econo-
