Among the new shades is a soft

vantage in ribbed cotton shantung
and in the new striped hopsacks of
light weight, which are just as fash
ionable for children as for their elders.
There is, besides becoming shade
of yellow, which is known as teal, !"
and a darker shade. redder in tone
than the whilom popular khaki. Green
is a faVorite color with children this
season, and practically every shade is
to be seen, from a midsummer leaf"
tint to the palest chartreuse or
duck's-egg tone.
Two colors, such as tan and blue,
are now being seen in the new COM
bination dresses.
New colors are mulberry red, vieux
rouge, bright cherry, pink and
Veronese green, hussar, vieux blue
and Rembrandt blue.
The new metal brocades are still
being used in Paris for evening
gowns.
Much of the charm of the new silk

Every father should make sure
that his baby's birth is duly regis
tered by the physician in charge not
later than ten days after birth. A
rigidly enforced registration of the
birth of infants would prevent many
cases of blindness and other dis
eases that will utterly ruin the lives
of these children. This because the
city authorities will investigate the
circumstances of every childs birth
Immediately it is reported.
For your own peace of mind make
careful entries in your baby book
and do not think that any peculiar
condition or action on the part OF
your baby is too unimportant to be
recorded l would advise that you
make out your book something after
this fashion:
Condition at Birth.
Parents name.
Address.
Nationality of mother.
Nationality of father.
Living in the city
Living in the country.
Sex.
Complexion.
Weight.
Height.
Circumference of chest
Circumference of abdomen.
General symmetry.
Quality of skin.
Bones of skull, spine, chest and
limbs.
Pupillary distance and shape Of
eyes.
Size, shape and position of ears,
Shape and size of lips.
Shape and size of forehead
Shape and patentcy of nose.
shape and condition of jaw.
This score card you can fill out
with the aid of your physician or
nurse.
The examination should be made
by your physician and the nurse,
who can detect the slightest blemish
in bones, muscles, features, flesh,
sight, hearing and expression as
quickly as a livestock judge can
spot a weakness in a calf, colt or
puppy. Have them do this while you
are there, so that you can understand
just how they do it.
They can explain to you if the
bones of the skull, spine and chest
and limbs are all right and yet, un-
less asked to do so, very few nurses
or doctors make this careful examl,
nation and often children grow ur
with slight defects and deformities
that might have been cured in the
first few months after birth.
After this you should have YOU

old and tabuIate its points" care

DOMESTIC
, SCIENCE
Conducted by
Mrs. Alice Gilchell Kirk.

Housekeeping in Italy is like a
game which has to be carefully fol-
lowed each day. The one in charge
of kitchen in Italy, be she mistress
or maid, is keenly interested every
day in the price of things, as mar
keting is done every day for the
present necessities and no more.
Nearly every Italian is a born
cook, so that If the chef deeamps in
rage the Italian mistress need not
necessarily wiring her hands in de-
spair. She will not even trouble to
sigh at her loss, for since childhood
she has learned the great art The
dantiest dishes at every gala feast
which she and her husband have
given have no doubt all been of her
own baking.
The Italian kitchen has two chief
characteristics: An open wood fire.
place with big hooded chimney
piece, and a charcoal range. This
range looks much like a long dresser
built of bricks against a wall. on top
of which are several CRATES, about
ten inches square, into which hand
full of charcoal is dropped and light
ed from underneath, where there is
a small opening for draught and
ashes. These CRATES are brightly
glazed colored tiles, easily washed
and kept clean.
Kitchen" by Janet Ross, may be
seen a very interesting picture of
this kitchen and range 1t requires
quickness, intelligence and care to
have those fires just right for the
various foods cooking. If the fire is
too low, then it must be quickened
with a little straw fan; If too hot,
it must be covered with a few ashes.
But they seem to take great delight
in it all and are willing to take
plenty of time over the task of cook
ing things slowly.
We are just beginning to learn the
art in the use of the fireless cooker
and casserole, while in Italy every
kitchen is amply furnished with cop
per pots and pans; casseroles or NOR
mites are constantly used and they
tell us a soup or stew in these earth
en- dishes is much better favored than
In the English iron pots or our Amer
lean saucepans.
Herbs Kept Ready.
Even in the poorest Italian home
will be found a good provision of dried
herbs for favoring, kept in a bag
near the fireplace. This is not unlike
the ways of the grandmothers and
great grandmothers of our own ceun-
try.
They have a small oven which an
swers very well for a small roast,
souffie, pastry, patties and rolls, but
not large enough for the baking of
the immense quantity of homemade
bread made in many well-to-do and
in all artisan families. Here is one
place where it may be truly said,
Bread is the staff of life" For this
a brick oven is used, and when this
is not possible the bread is made into
loaves and carried on an immense
wooden tray on the head to the town
baker for the baking.
Generally speaking. these kitchens
are neat and clean and great pride
centres here in this, the most inter-
esting room in the home.

She has troubles, same as you
Show her that your love is true
Tell her SO!
In former days you praised her style.
And spent much care to win her smile;
Tell her sol
There was a time you thought ii bliss
To get the favor of one kiss:
dozen now won't come amiss.
Tell her sol
Your love for her is no mistake
You feel 1t, dreaming or awake
Don't conceal it--for her sake;
Tell her SO!
You'll never know what you have missed
If you make of love game of whist;
Lips mean more than to be kissed
Tell her SOL
Don't act as if she'd passed her prime,
As though to please her was a crime;
If ever You loved her, now's the time.
Tell her SOL
She'll return for every caress
A hundredfold of tenderness;
Hearts like hers are made to bless.
Tell her so!
You are hers and hers alone,
Well you know she's all your own:
Don't wait to carve 1t on a stone.
Tell her sol
Never let her heart grow cold.
Richer beauties will unfold;
She is worth her weight In gold. s
