sIespina Robe For Baby.

A sleeping robe for the baby is some
what of a novelty and at the same
time a very serviceable gift. 1t is
shaped very much like the sleeping
bags for older people. with a hood to
be pulled over the head.
Soft white wool eiderdown is the
material used, and the edge is bound
with either pink or blue satin ribbon.
These little sleeping robes are just the
thing for baby's afternoon nap out Of
doors in the carriage. They are often
used in the nursery as well when it is
necessary to keep the baby out of a
draft.
These little garments. which open
down the front. are made after the
pattern of a baby's wrapper. A coarse
~cheesecloth yer a wadded lining.
quilted in large diagonals. forms the
bath robe. The edges are bound with
wash ribbon or buttonholed. blanket
stitching being used.

NEW YEAR
Story of a Drunkard Who
Redeemed Himself
BY cLARIssA r1ACKIE

Jim Truscott. sitting on the bench
outside the door. heard the indolent
voices Of the loungers in Dan Mason's
store.
They talked about the weather.
about the price of eggs, the projected
increase in the minister's salary, about
the bitter quarrel between Mrs. Nevins
and Sarah Peterby. and then they
spoke of Jim Truscott.

t~emptuously. Jim Truscott ever

Small Boy and Sunday School.

Small Boy and Sunday School.
Several women were talking about
their children one day. and one of
them asked the others:
do you ever have any trouble
about getting your boys to go to Sun
day school? Mine seem TO dislike it,
SO that every Sunday there is almost
a family row as to whether or not they
shall go. OF course l can compel them
to go, but l do not like to do this. 1
want them to be willing to go. If any
of you has solved this problem please
tell me how you did it"
The ~neighborhood in which the wo-
men lived was notorious for the num-
Der of boys who played about the
streets all day Sunday. so all the moth
ers were much interested in the sub
ject. By common consent, however,
they turned to one lady, the mother Of
four boys, all of whom were regular
and apparently happy attendants at
Sunday school, and besought her to tell
them the secret.
The lady smiled. YES" she said,
my four boys all go to Sunday school
willingly now, but ! can assure you
that it was not always so. With two
of them l never had any trouble, but
the other two did not want to go at all.
1t troubled me greatly, and l spent
much time before | got the correct So
luton. First / asked myself. Why
don't these boys want to attend? and
by some careful questioning | got at
the true solution. To make a long
story short. found that one was bash
full and that the other didn't find any
thing to interest him there.
This great point being gained. ]
went to the superintendent of the Sun
day school and told him about the boys
and asked him to find Il teacher for
each of them who would overcome the
points of resistance. The bashful boy
was placed in a class where his shy
ness was respected and where he was
not asked ever to answer a question
until this bashfulness had entirely
worn off. The other one was put in
the class of a young man who took a
great interest in all of his boys. He
started a little club. which was con-
fined to the members of his class.
They have A meeting once a month
that is like a party. and no boy in
that class will miss a Sunday for fear
he will miss something about the club.
Since that time | have never had any
Trouble.
1.-THE secret of the whole matter"
she concluded. "is that every case
must be treated according to the needs
Of the particular boy. What fits one
case will not fit another, and the treat
ment must come more from the teach
er than from the mother. We can only
give the right start; the Sunday school
itself must do the rest"

WHITE SALES
IN SEASON
They Afford Opportunities For
the Selection of Modish Lin
gene at Reasonable Prices.

~HE white sales OF January
give the thrifty shopper a
chance t purchase bargains
in modish lingerie. In order
70 buy intelligently. however. n must
know what is the correct thing to
wear. There are fashions in lingerie
as in anything else. These depend on
the shape of the outer garment. and
when skirts are SO narrow and close
fitting it follows that the %petticoats of
a few seasons back will not do. And
In buying for the future 1t is well to
consider that they are apt to change
to another extreme with the rapidity
that they have done in the past.
In selecting underwear do not buy
the cheaper qualities. They are poor
ly made, and the materials used are
too unsubstantial to give good service.
Simple lingerie. handmade and with
very little trimming, is much better
taste thar coarse, much trimmedp pieces.
One finds quantities of lace and tucks
on cheap garments. and the decora-
lions are invariably of the most ordi-
nary quality.
Just a little hand embroidery on the
material itself is one of the favorite
methods Of trimming. and this EN-
broidery. being merely plain satin
stitch, is quite easy to do with the help
of a transfer.
But, supposlng ones time is too linn
tied to attempt embroidery. an excel
lent effect can be obtained by whip
ping in a small bit of piece embroid-
cry instead.
This piece embroidery can be OBJ
tanned in charming patterns at any
good shop, and, though it costs a good
deal a yard. so little is needed that
1t really does not add much to the ex-
pense.
OF course, if one can afford it, moth
ing makes such a nice finish as a little
real lace. and simple patterns in tor
chon can now be obtained so reason
ably that it is not an extravaganza.
There are also beautiful %reproduc-
lions to be had. notably a good quail

ity cluny and a cotton maltese, while
there can be no question at all as to
the charm of the better class lmita-
ton v~alenciennes.
Another detail that adds enormously
to the good effect. but very slightly to
the cost, is a fine beading for whipping
seams and lace together. This is new
er found on the cheap. ready made gar
ments. and it makes n great difference
In their appearances.
There is a growing feeling in favor
of colored underwear. Nothing, how
V can possibly be nicer than Zine
white nainsook or cAmlrie. But pale
pink, blue and manye are frequently
employed to fashion sets consisting OF
n~ightdress. Knockers. chemise. corset
covers or b%rassieres and petticOat
with the trimming Of valenriennes or
malines lace carried throughout.
Then. again. many nightgowns are
now made of soft washing silk in
some delicate color. Sometimes these
are so elaborate it is difficult to de-
eide whether they were really meant
for night wear or to be used as dainty
dressing gowns.
One example shown in the shops
was made with a Magyar bodice and
short sleeves composed of alternate
strips of pale blue silk and valen-
ciennes lace. The skirt was united to
the bodice by a wide ribbon run bead
ing. A lace trimmed frill finished
the hem. While very handsome. this
model was far from expensive, but
much less serviceable than a plain
one of fine white lawn would have
been.
Corset covers are really no longer re-
garded in the light of undergarments.
since, owing to the filmy quality of
the fashionable blouse materials. they
are quite visible. wherefore it is very
essential that some pretty. dainty style
be requisitioned. Very fine white
nainsook was the medium employed
on one dainty model. the upper part
hand tucked and stitched with a line
of French knots. a further decorative
touch being impaired by a ribbon run
beading and lace edging.
The shoulder straps were composed
entirely Of insertion and edging. while
a very nice finish was afforded by the
added basque.
The corset cover illustrated here
was carried out in ~nainsook with eye
let embroidery and was further EN-
bellished with a narrow crochet edg-
