Who Should Push the Baby Coach?

And let me remind my correspond
ent right here that trundling the baby
cart may be the short cut to fame for
him. For in these peram bulators that
unwilling fathers are pushing are the
infants who are going to be the men
and women who will do the big things
of the future. The only job by which
many a man will be remembered is
that he used to wheel some little Tom
my Edison, or Teddy Roosevelt. or
Pippy Morgan about in his go-cart.
In all good truth, the men who are
doing the most for the world are those
who are raising up nice, fat. healthy
babies-babies who are going to carry
on to new heights the banner of hu-
man achievement, and why any man
should be ashamed of publicly an
nouncing his part in this great work
passes comprehension.
Certainly the times are out of joint,
and we have gotten to a place where
we take a very decadent view of things
when a man is humiliated by being
seen in the street giving his own child
an outing, and when such a spectacle
is the subject for the gibes and mock
ing of fools.
Happily, though. sensible people are
still of the opinion that a baby is a
thing to boast of, and not be ashamed
OF, and that young man pushing his
own baby carriage is a more admirable
spectacle than a haw-haw youth tug
ging at the leash OF bulldog.
But let no one ever again lay the
crime of race suicide at woman's door,
since the fathers take so little interest
in their offspring that they are not
willing to be seen in public with them.
Apparently children are no longer con-
sidered by their fathers as a crown of
glory, but sort of disgrace that they
try to keep hidden and out of sight as
far as possible.

It's Easy to Peel Off
Your Tan or Freckles

This is what you should do to shed a
spoiled compilations: Spread evenly
over the face, covering every inch Of
skin, a thin layer of ordinary mercol-
lied wax. Let this stay on over night;
wash it off next morning. Repeat daily
until your complexion Is as clear, soft
and beautiful as a young girls. This
result is inevitable, no matter how
soiled or discolored the complexion. The
wax literally peels off the filmy surface
skin, exposing the lovely young skin
beneath. The process is entirely harm
less, so little of the old skin coming
off at a time. Mercolized wax is OBJ
tainable at any drug store; one ounce
usually suffices. It's a veritable Won
for rough, tanned, redden-
ed, blotchy, pimpled or freckled skin.
Pure powdered saxolite is excellent
for a wrinkled skin. An ounce of 1t
dissolved in a half pint witch hazel
makes a refreshing wash-lotion. This
renders the skin quite firm and smooth:
indeed, the very first application erases
the finer lines; the deeper ones soon

the perambulator, that is as may be.
To the dispassionate observers 1t would
seem that, inasmuch as a father is
just as much a father as a mother is a
mother, it's Just as much his business
to give the baby an airing as it is hers.
OF course the mother is harnessed
to the babys go-cart most of the time.
Six days out of the seven she pushes
1t ahead of her whenever she takes
her walks abroad. just as she listens to
the baby's crying and washes and
dresses and cares for it seven days out
of the week, and this being the case,
1t appears to be up to the father to
take his turn at the wheel occasion

at being seen out in the company
of his own child.
My correspondent is ashamed to be
seen pushing q perambulator. I Won

Dental part of the city between the

dreds of perambulators, each contain

riage rolled by some mother who has
been told by her doctor that the baby
must be kept in the air a certain num-
ber of hours.
Women Never Ashamed of Being
Seen With Their Babies
On the shady side of the street in
summer, in the lee of some sheltering
building in winter, you will find these
mothers footsore with walking, weary
and bored to death, sweltering with
heat or shivering with cold, but faith

Towns Wealth Largely
Gauged by the Value
of Its Hens and Eggs

Nowhere else in the United States
does the value Of poultry products re-
present such a large proportion of the
totol value of towns or city's pro-
ducts as 1t does in beautiful Vineland,
N. ]. About one-third the value of
all things produced in Vineland is
credited to some industry allied to
poultry keeping. Within five square
miles of level. well drained land there
are over 100000 hens that produce
2,260.000 dozen eggs yearly that has
a value of S640.000. The poultry feed
bill of Vineland amounts to $175,000
year and there is an investment of
$3,000,00O in stock, land and build
ings. Over 1900 persons have no
other occupation or pursuit than poul-
try keeping.
A poultry census of the town re-
Gently taken reveal these figures and
Vineland now claims to be the greatest
poultry producing section in this coun-
try excepting the Petaluma district in
California.

What's the matter with pushing the
baby carriage as a respectable job for
a family man? What is there about 1t
to make a man blush and hang his
head in shame? / fail to see in 1t any
thing derogatory to masculine dignity.
1t seems to me that a man with the
perambulator is far more admirable
than the man with the automobile,
and that 1t is better to take the baby
toyriding than 1t is to take a chorus
girl.
The man who thinks that he looks
ridiculous when he is seen taking the

would be filled with pride and vain
glory at the spectacle he presented

1871 Gathered Blouse, "a to a. bust.
There are many practical as we'll az
smart features be found in this blouse.
1t is exceedingly easy to make and re-
quires no fitting: White seems the
natural color for the chemisette but it
can be Of organdie, handkerchief lawn or
pique and, for the blouse itself, silk, wool
and cotton materials are equally appro-
pirate. The new taffetas are quite soft
enough to be made in this way, we are
wearing charmeuse satin this season,
crepe de chine is always pretty and there
are lowered silks that make exceedingly
quaint and attractive effects. Un-
doubtedly long sleeves are the preferred
ones for the autumn but there are many
women who find the shortened length
preferable and these can be cut off and
finished with cuffs. Touches of black are
to be much used and, if the
edges of the white collar and chemisette
are piped with black, they will give
distinctive touch, whatever the color of
the blouse may be.
For the medium size, the blouse will
require 3H yds. of material 27, an yds.
60 or a. in. wide, with 20 yd. 36 in. wide
for the chemisette and cuffs.
