n NCE upon a time it was said of
the fortunate baby that he was
born with a silver spoon in his
mouth" One might say appro-
priatelX, of the modern baby that he
is born to wicker; for being born to
wicker is paramount to being born to
wealth-as. the little prospective moth
er. buying her first layette, speedily
discovers to h, chagrin. Lovely and
luxurious as the various wicker be-
longings are. they are distressingly ex-
pensive and are on a par with the
costly handmade slips. real lace trim
med petticoats and silken down COM
forters which go to make up an up
to-date layette.
The wicker dressing basket is one
of the most convenient belongings of
the modern nursery. Dainty in ap-
pearance and easy to lift about, it Isl
also capacious and roomy and pro-
vides accommodation for a goodly
number of tiny garments. When baby
has his bath, the wicker dressing bas-
ket stands close beside his enameled
tub and everything is ready-to- hand.
In the upper tray, lace and ribbon
trimmed, are kept the toilet necessi-
ties-perfumed soap, talcum powder.
hair brush and so on; and in the;
lower tray or drawer, the change of
clothing for day or night will be laid.
Between this drawer and the upper
tray is a second tray which fits down
into the basket. and in this may be-
kept fresh towels for the bath or
anything else desired. The basket pic
tured is of light blue wicker. The.
drawer and trays are lined with light
blue satin and the upper tray is trim,
med daintily with dotted net, lace and
ribbon.
There is fancy for fine machine
embroidery this season, as a trimming
for the baby's dressing basket and
lbassinet, for machine embroidery is
Extremely fashionable at the moment
iand is used alone and in company
with val and shadow laces in exquis-
:itely dainty effect. OF course every
mother knows-or soon discovers-the
tradition about blue for a boy and
pink for a. girl and trims her bas-
,kets according to her hopes-though
many a lusty boy has had to endure
igirlish pink belongings. and many a
lovely wee girl has gone through baby
hood suffering the indignity of mas
,cu1lne Diue.
For the rites of the morning bath,
also, there are fetching little wash
stands of snowy enamel equipped with
bowl, water jug and soap dish, dec
Grated with Kate Greenaway figures.
AT the side of the easily lifted little
washstand is a rack for the soft linen
towels and washcloths. This pretty
washstand, the white enameled tub
and the nurses low wicker chair all
stand on white rubber mat and
baby may splash to his hearts de-
sire without the danger of a drop Of
water spelling the delicate blue or
pink nursery rug. Beside the bath
ing paraphernalia are grouped the
dressing basket, white enameled
wood clothes hanger and perhaps a
set of wicker trays like those pic
tured-if baby is a fortunate little

be matched by a pillow slip for the
tiny down pillow. The baby's pillow
should not be too soft or too high,
the f1atter the little body lies, the bet
ter for an erect carriage later on
and the high pillow habit, once ac-
quired is hard to overcome. Both
spread and pillow slip may be embel-
lished effectively with baby's initials
or monogram. White pique also
makes fresh, dainty spread and may
be trimmed with machine embroidery
or imitation Irish crochet
The baby who is not born to
wicker" may have instead of the ex-
pensive bassinet very comfortable
and pretty bed, made from an ordi-
nary laundry basket and If a large
enough basket is selected, this bed
will answer until baby is three or
four months old. when his enameled
crib is purchased. The clothes basket
should be lined first with quilted pad
ding and over this light blue sateen
may be tackled. Shirred dotted swiss
and blue ribbons will trim the basket
attractively and there may be a spread
of the dotted swiss, over light blue
sateen. to match The little mat
tress, or thick quilted pad should be
laid over an ordinary feather pillow
which will fit into the bottom of the
basket.

wicker trays close together and be-
come a compact chiffonier which may
be set in a corner of the nursery out
of the way, when not in use. In the
three lower which may be lined
with silk if desired-are kept the
tiny wearables. the soft little slips
and petticoats dainty bootees, flannel
sacques and wrappers; while in the
topmost tray may repose baby's bon
nets and caps.
The white enameled wood clothes
hanger Is something like an ordinary
hat-tree except that 1t is much smaller
and has hooks of brass upon which
may be hung little bathgowns and
other tiny garments of the night.
Very attractive clothes hangers are
decorated all the way UP in spiral
manner with a procession of minute
Kate Greenaway figures.
The bassinet is a most important
item of the nursery furnishing. and
the up-to-date sleeping-nest of the
baby is provided with castors instead
of rockers, though the hand that
moves the bassinet-like the hand
that rocked the cradle--is the hand
that rules the world just as ii has
always been. A dainty bassinet of
modern type is illustrated. The wick
er sleeping bed may be lifted from
the enameled wood standard and set
any where desired or standard and
all may be rolled about from nursery
to porch, or into another room. The
white wicker bed is lined with shir-
red blue silk over cotton batting and
blue ribbons are threaded through
the open strips in the basket, the ends
being tied in a smart bow at the foot.
A lace frill droops softly around the
inner edge of the hood and there is
another blue ribbon bow on top. This

THE NERVOUS CHILD.

TN most instances the nervous child
has in him the making of brill
! liant man. but he is generally
spoiled in the making. Tho parent
must be patient and long suffering
with a boy or girl of nervous tenn
perament, else the child will be done
great injury. Never tease or scold
and never hold such a little one up to
ridicule. And the nervous child
should very rarely be severely pun
ished. 1t is only by the gentlest OF
means that the best can be brought
out of the highly strung child. but
when the proper course is taken,
such children are wonderfully re-
lsponsive.

on small hair mattress covered by
white quilted pad and then by hem

borders will match the blue-ribbon-
trimmed bassinet, and over all will GO
a blue silk quilted down comforter.
Handkerchief linen, hand embroidered
with dainty floral pattern and edged
with Cluny lace makes a pretty spread
for the bassinet, and the spread may

SOIL-ONlBOTH-SID FROCKs FOR
CHILDREN.


THE very latest achievement in the
way of garments that evade laun-
= dry expense is the reversible
frock for children. 1t is unthinkable
to the mother Of fastidious tastes that
a dirty pinafore could be removed
from child one day, turned inside
out next morning, and slipped on
again-the soiled portion, of course,
coming against the freshly bathed lit
tie neck and arms. But that these
reversible garments are sold--and
plenty Of them-is demonstrated In
the shops where it is said there is
much demand for soil-on- both-side
frocks. Such costumes are of course
made of untransparent fabric--usually
of percale. linen or pique and both
sides are exactly alike. buttons and

Largest in State.

The largest alfalfa field in Michigan
is on Henry Richards farm just east OF
Bellaire. At present it comprises lao
acres when the sixty acres now in
beans will be sowed to alfalfa.
The fitting of this immense field for
alfalfa has been big undertaking, sew
eral men and teams having been en-
ployed there constantly all summer:
The work of seeding was completed
last week and already the GO acres first
sown looks like velvety green carpet
and the little plants have roots three or
more inches in length.
If this big field turns out as well as
present appearances would indicate it
will prove a veritable gold mine to Mr..
Richardi and a great benefit to the COM

According to reports the present
steam suburban service of the Grand
Rapids e Indiana railroad centering
about Petoskey will be replaced next
summer by five gasoline motor cars,
which the railroad company is said to
have ordered from the General Electric
Co. Many summer visitors complain of
the dirt and noise, as well as other in
conveniences, that have been tolerated
in past years, and will welcome the
motor cars. The decision of the G.. r.

cessful tryout Of a motor car on the
