A Successful Instance of
Embalming

Three years ago n babe was prema.
turely born, with death as the result
MIR. Amack embalmed it with such
success that the color and features re.
manned almost, il not quite, unaltered
for several months. He then placed
it in a glass case where it has remained
ever since. The face still retains its
form, features and color On account
Of the diminutive size the corpse looks
more like dolr than a child, but it
exhibits the remarkable advance made
in the undertaker's art in the last few
years. Mr.. Amack, probably, does not
care to have the general public make
an exhibition out of his undertaking
rooms, yet he would doubtless permit
those who we're interested in the
science and art Of preserving the body
from decay to view this result of his
skill.

Boy scouts of America that they have
an import mt duty to make clear To the
public and especially to parents tina,
the Boy Scouts Of America do not carry
fire arms.
"Such duty" says Chief Scout Exc
cutive West, devolvcs upon us not only
because the popularity of the scout
movement has caused many organiza-
tions in imitation Of the Boy Scouts
Of America t. spring up, but because
of the reputation which our orgauiza.
ton already has attained. Many par
ents who do not know much about the
scout movement have learnt in "A gen.
eral WY that President Taft, Colonel
Roosevelt, Lieutenant General Sir
Robert =. = Baden Powell and many
prominent educators and philanth' oph-
lists are backing the Boy Scouts Of
America. When boys wish To become
u boy scout parents said all right, not
knowing there are different organiza-
tions. That was the way with Mrs.
Jarvis, mother of the boy who did the
shooting. She said after the tragedy
that she did not know that her son
was supposed to carry rifle. Futher
more these imitation organizations
have been devuting themselves to one
line of work such AS military drill and
target shooting or to going into camp
without following the scout program
or going out on hikes.
"As all these things tend to throw
discrcdit on the main organization the
Executive Board has authorized me To
make clear first of all to the public

 long clothes? Every ''born' mother, whether she possesses bairns of her own or is merely the adopter of ali the bairns of the world, will agree that the wee white robes cloaks and caps are more utterly fascinating than any of the sump tuous habiliments of the grown-up person. And did you know that the daintiest, fln- fest, dressiest of frocks and bonnets may be obtained at the Woman's Exchange, so that the hours of eye strain and care just the expenditure of few dollars and cents? And there are things to suit any sort of taste, any type of baby, even in the shops-for, of course, tiny mite with a rosebud mouth and fuzzy gold hair re-
 
 that given the big, funny boyish fellow {. with ruddy cheeks and shock of brown hair, and shoulders that already suggest bloody fight in the football arena.
 For example, the tiny girl wears lace upon her clothes; the sterner boy abjures it. Curious 1t is, but quite true that the manly baby looks quite absurd in elaborate garments even when he is the smallest member of society, and the modern mother begins as she means to go on, and gives her month-old son the right to appear in the reticence of dress that appertans to his sex.
 No coras encircle his little neck; no sash girdes his waist; his frock is not . run through with ribbons! Have you ever noticed bbs and bonnets in the collection of envelope packages containing every thing needful to make the pretty thing pie tured on the outside of the package?- silk thread, the linen or soft cambric, even the pattern and the directions9 There are some very cunning baby caps and bibs to be found in these collections. You can find wonderfully clever ones at Steele Smith $; there are some perfect gems at Drennen's, and at Burgers, where you may have the fabric stamped to suit you, the various types are cunningness itself. There is not great deal of handwork on these tiny articles least you have the privilege

de soie of former years with an ample dis play of white silk embroidery, some pad ded at the back and the rest flat The cap was sharply pointed and not at all full, so that there were no clumsy folds to ham per the tiny limbs.
 In Hood & Wheeer's windows this week there was the dearest set of nursery furniture showing that it is possible to ob tain ideal tables and chairs and desk, dressing table and mirror of Liliputian size. You may find a miniature dressing table, bath and washstand in white en- amel as well as a bed of small size, fashioned after the manner of the four poster or the French designs used by the grown-up people.
 And now in the jewelry stores you may find table silver for the nursery extending beyond the ordinary knife, spoon and mug to silver eggcups, napkin rings, platters and porrdge bowls, so that the little indi vidual may start life with quite valuable store of household goods.
 For the child of from one to three years the supply of pretty things in the stores is quite inexhaustible. The little girls have even arrived at the dignity of sometimes wearing the bonnets of q French maker. Mr. Hrsch frequently has in his assort- ment of phantasies and fancies for the miss of two or three summers the quaintest and most fragile of headgear bearing the mark of some foreign shop.

charming christening present.
 But here are some things that the win ter baby should have The artist, unfor- tunately, could not or would not sketch any babies nor any portion of baby ward robe, though he was so clever with the boys and girls a trife older; so, I must tell about what you may find in the shops without picturing it. In the first place, the December baby's christening robe and his lovely cloak must be marvels of ex- quiste handsttchery. That is definite sonal would be derogatory to his small majesty's importance. He has a special pattern from which to choose, and at Steele Smiths there is the loveIiest sort of sheer, exquisite thread cambric, and at the Ferd Marx store you can find the filmiest, most weblike muslin that will launder beautifully after it is fashioned and yet lends itself beautifully to the hand draw ing and embroidery that are so lovingly introduced. Tiny Master William I. Grubb, Jr., has some beauties in his ward robe An original design was shown the other day by proud nurse whose small charge is soon to be christened Every small stitch had been made by the little ladv's mother and so fine and soft was 1t that one thought of the old suggestion of drawing through finger ring. It Is one of those daintily elaborate little garments that will be put away unlaundered to be- come family relic, for it represents too much effort to have even occasional wear. It is rendered in very fine muslin with q blossom embroidery about six inches from the border, and cascade of frils falling from beneath the chin to the hem of the skirt. The little sleeves are all frills and the cap which she wears with it is old

 with them pair of soft butiao aes which hug his fat little legs so tisntiy tnd. there is big wrinkle at every button.
 For little girl several years old long sweater coat reaching the edge of her skirt is displayed. It is a convenience and becoming accessory as well. A cunning little gypsy-like girl was noted one chill day this week on the ears, wearing a brown coat of serviceable weave, straight and plain except for its patent leather belt at the waist, and her small hat was tri-corn made of brown r-mink-with a peaked top and the corners at the side turned back to show the satin lining. Another little girl that afternoon was dressed in sombre coors, straight black velvet coat over her white frock, black velvet bonnet resting on her gold curls, and tiny pink rosebuds nestled against the white silk and lace which peeped from out the sides where the velvet was caught together Her small hands were thrust into a pound ermine huff of the sort carried by little girls of her mothers day

It is made of heavy white material and fastens across the front with q simple embroidery Aap-hrst left A patent leather belt encircles the little chaps waist He has d number os dome like corduroy and velour hats from which to choose in all the shops. A little girls dress is made of flmier stuff and has laces and embroideries, too, to suit the most elaborate fancy, and when the wearer arrives at two or little older she is frequently permitted to don the fluffy white frock from tiny .'stick- out' skirt just few inches wide, beneath the long waist and wear 1t with her mob-li bon net, just as beautiful little Eleanor Dale Warren wears hers
