Baby's First Steps

When babies learn to walk ard
how they learn, gives them in the
future, if born normally shaped,
straight or crooked legs, and in these
days beauty of face and figure take
so. well that every mother should
look ahead and do what she can in
their infancy to make well-shaped
son or daughter later.
Do not neglect the proper corrective
shoes for toeing in or weak ankles.
Be careful that child does not walk
too early rather than ambitious to
see a little tot balancing himself or
herself at a very young age on un-
evenly balanced feet with knees all
awry.
A little care and forethought on the
mothers part would save many an
hour of modification on the part Of
unhappy, leased children later.
Crooked legs and knock knees are
not necessary, so why encourage
them to come?
If here try with the right shoes,
exercises and massage, to eradicate
them for the child's sake.

Mother Symptoms Prophecy
Dear Miss Door

Lear MISS loon.
VIII you please tell me something
about Mother Shipton, who wrote the
prophecy about horseless carriages
and brother fighting against brother,
as happened in the Civil War? have
tried In several places to get the
poem without success. ANXIOUS
l was fortunate enough to find the
following In my file. Is 1t what you
mean?
Mother Shipton was a reputed Eng
fish prophecies of the time of Henry
VIII The statements concerning her
personal history are conflicting and of
slight value. 1t is believed that she
was purely fictitious person whose
name was made the vehicle of many
supposed prophecies.
She is first heard of through the
publication of a tract, in 1641, known
as the Prophecies of Mother Ship.
ton" Many pamphlets purporting to
be collections of her prophecies APP
peared, most, II not all, believed to be
pure inventions. Charles Hindley, in
1862, reprinted an earlier so-called life
of Mother Shipton, inserting the dog
gerel quoted below.
Ten years later Hindley acknowl-
edged that the verses were a hoax.
The poem follows:
Carriages without horses shall CO.
And accidents fill the world with
woe;
Primrose Hill in London shall be.
And In the center of a Bishops see,
Around the world thoughts shall fly,
In the twinkling of an eye.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no ass or horse be by their side
A great man shall come and gol
Iron in the water shall float
AS easy as wooden boat;
Gold shall be found, and found
In land that's not now known;
Fire and water shall more wonders
do;
England shall at last admit a Jew;
The Jew, that was held in scorn,
A house of glass shall come to pass.
In England; but, alas,
War will follow with the work n
In the land of Pagan and Turk;
And State and State in fierce strife
VIII seek each others life.
But when the North shall divide the
South,
And eagle shall build in the lions
mouth,
Taxes for blood and for war
Will come to every door.
Three times three shall lovely France
Be led to play a bloody dance
Before her people shall be free
Three tyrant rulers she shall see.
The British olive next shall Irvine
In marriag e with the German vine.
land
Shall be seen book in hand,
Learning shall SO ebb and flow,
| The poor shall most wisdom know.
| The world then to an end shall come,

DOMESTIC SCIENCE

Crouch"
If this disease is apparent in any
one at the dining table there should
be a fine so heavy that it would be
cheaper in the end to get rid of It as
soon as possible or dine by them
selves.
The dining room furnishings
should be studied with great care,
as much depends upon harmonious
coloring. lines and perfect lighting.
The wall covering is very important,
as only a very few if any pictures
are in the room, so greater decora-
ton should be allowed in papering
Blues are very good; not too decided,
but general toning in with wall
and rug
The usual furnishings are rug
upon which the dining table stands
chairs. a sideboard and serving table
A screen is a very desirable piece
of furniture to shut off a too gener-
GUS blaze from the open fire, a
draught from an open window or the
entrance to pantry or kitchen. A
cabinet for placing the choice china
or glass adds to the convenience and
attractiveness of the room. With
two or three appropriate pictures on
the wall, dainty light curtains at
the windows and the proper arrange
ment of the furniture for convent
enee, this room should be one of the
most inviting in the house.
II / left this dlning-room with
out writing something on the care
Of 1t, all the thought in FURNISHING
would amount to little It is the one
room at night which must be left
spotless. 1t is better to keen these
windows closed and then open them
the first thing in the morning for
thorough ventilation
The sideboard is the proper nlaoa
for knives, forks. spoons, napltins
and tablecloths, all in their exact
places and always there. The top of
the sideboard may be used for serv-
ing any cold food, but the serving
table is the place for hot food and
| dishes for serving the same. Then
the table is quickly laid, and if pos
sible fresh flower or plant should
be placed in the centre of the cloth.
In other words. the daintiness of
the table, atmosphere and lighting
or the room do much toward start
ing the family out for a happy, sue
cessful day. If any one really
doubts it try it for few mornings
and see.

Ottoman Revived

There is. a revival of the old-fash-
Toned ottoman in the house furnish
ing realm. 1t comes in all sorts of
shapes and sizes and covered with
all manner of silken and tapestry
stuffs.
One of the newest ideas is found
in the ottoman made especially for
the apartment house dweller.
The ottoman is hollow within and
has a top that raises up, showing a
convenient little apartment inside,
where overshoes may be put away or
other small articles stored in the
house where every inch of space Is
valuable.

Grape Catsup

Use five pounds of grapes, two
and half liberal pounds of sugar,
half a pint of vinegar, a tablespoon
of cloves, the same of cinnamon and
allspice and half a teaspoon Of salt.
Boil the grapes in the vinegar until
they are soft. While they are cook
ing press them with an agate or
wooden spoon to extract the juice.
When ready strain through a very
thin rag and squeeze the bag as hard
as possible to extract every particle
of pulp, leaving behind only the seeds
and skins. Add the spice. salt and
sugar to the Juice and boil for about
twenty minutes or until very thick
and jelly-like. This is nice with cold
meats.

CONTINUED from Saturday,

Oh. stubborn Dutchman that he had
been! Blind fool To have run away
instead of fighting to the last ditch
for his happiness! The Desimone
woman was right it had taken him a
long time to come to the conclusion
that she had done an i'll turn. And
during all these weary months he had
drawn melancholy picture of him
self as a wounded lion, creeping into
the jungle to hide its hurts, when,
truth be known, he had taken the
ways of the jackass for a model.
He saw plainly enough now.
More than this, where there had been
mere obstacles to overcome there
were now steep mountains, per-
haps inaccessible for all he knew.
His jaw set, and the pressure of his
lips broke the sweep of his mustache,
converting it into bristling tufts, war
like and resolute.
AS he was leaving a square of light
attracted his attention. He looked up
tc see the outline of the bearded Russ
in the window. Poor devil! He was
going to have a merry time of it.
Well, that was his affair Be
sides, Russians, half the year chilled
by their bitter SHOWS, were suSceptl-
BILE to volcanoes: they courted them
as a counterbalance. Perhaps he had
spoken roughly, but his temper had
not been under control. One thing
he recalled with grim satisfaction.
He had sent a barbed arrow UP the
tube to disturb the felicity of the
dove-cote. The duke would be rather
curious to know what was meant In
referring to the night she had come
to his, Courtlandt's room. He
laughed. 1t would be a fitting cli-
max indeed If the duke called him

But what of the pretty woman in
the Taverne Royale? What about
her? At whose bidding had she fol-

had not told the truth, and he was
inclined to believe that the prevari-
cation had its source in the pome-
granate lips Of the Calabrian. To

Dress Notes

There is no denying the fact that
plaits are pushing themselves for
ward.
In materials for afternoon and eve-
ming gowns. there are very many
brocades. while crepes and crepe
weaves play a most important part.
Materials that heretofore never had
a tendency toward crepe now have
the crepe finish. among them being
satin crepe MORE.
A novel effect is the evening gown
made with black velvet girdle,
which at the back forms. by being
elongated to point. train.
The white felt hat is a stepping
stone from the summer straw to the
winter velvet. 1t is especially smart
when trimmed with a simple bow
of black velvet or satin.
Many suits for early fall wear will
be developed in corded silks, moires
and silk and wool crepes.
Nothing is uglier than the effect
of a narrow shoe worn on foot that
needs last one or more sizes wider.

In Sprinkling Clothes

It is of great advantage when
sprinkling clothes to use warm water
instead Of cold. Warm water covers
a larger area than cold, and when
ironing is started you will find the
cloth evenly damp. In using cold
