KEEPING THE BABY
SWEET AND CLEAN

What is more pleasing to all than a
clean, smiling, happy baby? The baby
who is contented and happy is usually
the one who is bathed every day and
whose mother has been wise enough to
train him to regular daily habits.
In order that a baby may grow and de-
velop normally he should be kept sweet
and clean all the time. Some mothers
do not think IL Is necessary to bathe the
baby every day, and instead of a clean,
soft complexion. the skin chafes easily
and a dark crust appears on baby's head.
Every baby should have a tub bath
once a day, and during the hot summer
days he may be given a sponge bath
several times to keep him cool and COM
Portable.
The best time for baby's bath is in the
early part of the morning. preferably just
before the feeding hour. The room should
be warm and free from drafts In order
that the baby may not be exposed longer
than Is necessary everything which Is
needed should be ready and within easy
reach before he Is undressed-plenty of

WHAT A woMANs THIMBLE DID

Some Of the greatest inventions in the
world have been the result of accident,
other inventions might have proved
worthless had not some simple device,
perhaps of an unimportant bit of ma
chinery, made the whole failure a sue
cess after ALL
Not many people know that a woman's
worn-out thimble played an important
part in our modern Illuminating gas Jet.
When Murdoch, the inventor, first used
his gas on trial he let it escape from the
end of small pipe. sticking on a clay
plug when he wanted to shut 1t on One
day when he wanted to shut on his flow
in hurry he could not find his plug and
being fearful of an explosion hastily
searched for some substitute, finally
grabbing his wife's thimble This he
closed over the pipe, but the thimble be-
ing perforated by constant use the gas
escaped from the small needle holes and
to his amazement the inventor says that
the spread flame due to the numerous
openings gave a better light than the
solid flame from the pipe. So the thimble
was the ancestor of the modern burner,
according to narrator of the episode in
Gas Logic.

A TAFFETA MOTOR BONNET.

Quaint and coquettish, yet eminently
practical is the newest thing in motor
headgear. 1t is made Of soft-textured
taffeta, and in shape II most nearly re-
sembles the puffy crowned caps worn by
infants not so many years ago A two
inch broad band in-straw, fitting smooth

the brow, does duty as brim. and to its
upper edge is attached a silk crown that
is puffy and crushable looking because
its plaits are many and deep. Pipings of
taneta finish both edges of the straw
band, and to its sides. directly over the
ears, are attached huge choux in silk.
These unfold into two long streamers
