Has a. Baby Its Five Senses'

Much controversy is always going
on upon the problem of how many
of it's senses are present in newborn
baby.
1t seems pretty well established that
all the faculties are present in a nor
NAL child, but that it requires some
time for the child to learn to control
them. Thus child should blink be-
fore light during its first twenty
four hours in the world, but some au-
thorities, notably DIR. Montessor1,
claim that a child's eyesight is not
fully developed, of that the child does
not gain full control of its eyes before
the age of six years. 1t is certain
that it takes baby many months to
judge distances, which accounts for
the afmless reaching after objects out
of reach. which one notices in little
baby, says the Philadelphia Sunday
Press.
Hearing is also probably possible
from the first, as baby can be dis
turbed by sudden or loud noises, but
fortunately most babies when ha "
and comfortable are not likely to pay
much attention to noises, and a young
baby can be trained to sleep right in
room where others are talking and
laughing. A child should know the
difference in voices before 1t Is Tour
months old, but most children know
difference in handling almost from the
first They also can taste, as any
mother can prove who has found 1t
necessary to change the food, even II
the bottle is exactly the same. OF
course, the change from breast to bot
tie is also noticeable by the sense of
touch, as well as by the taste.

Our charity club reorganized for
the winters work this morning, so
all we girls met in the club rooms
of the Hotel -. Now, of course,
| spent a lot of time in the work

the girls in the group couldn't help
but have my mind diverted by the
pretty neckwear and wells they were
wearing.
Evidently as soon as each girl had
invested in fall suit she had spent
some time at the neckwear counters,
and the result was that each had
quite the most artistic collar imagin-
able And, when | looked more
carefully, noticed that some OF the
girls suits were not new, but We're
so improved by the pretty neckwear
fancies that their whole costume
looked chic.

This Is the Paper Age

We have had the stone, bronze,
iron. steam and electrical ages, re-
spectively. and now 1t would seem
that we have come to another-the
paper age. 1t isn't quite the same
kind of fiimsy paper used in the for
mer years, to be sure. Like every
thing else. paper has been going
through a constant evolution, until
1t has well nigh reached a state of
perfection. And to none is 1t 81
greater boon than the housewife. 1t
is possible for her now to obtain a
waterproof, greaseproof, odorproof
antiseptic paper that is the last word
in hygiene. says an exchange.
The up-to-date, germ fearing
housewife may now have her dish
cloths of paper. ice-blankets of pa

take the place of rubber Sheeting,
and even airproof paper jar covers

able, being made of a cotton fiber
that gives it unexpected strength.

the costly chamois and tea towels).
1t is non-absorbent, and therefore,
splendid for wrapping the butter and
placing about the milk pitcher before

fish, cheese, onions or cucumbers

food so wrapped cannot absorb their
odors.
Tablecloths of this paper can be
used for the children's luncheon

saved thereby, The paper dishcloths
and towels may be discarded after
each using. and thus are labor and
germs dissipated at one stroke.

Putting Away Summer Things

The care of wooden and fur gar
mentS is a topic much discussed each
spring when it comes time for stor-
ing away the winter wardrobe. Very
little attention is given to the proper
care of summer clothes; they are just
packed away. and if, by chance, they
are fit for use the following season,
well and good; if not, they are tossed
into the ragbag.
A faded frock, no matter how good
the material may be, to most women
appears worthless. This, however, is
mistaken idea, for it may be trans.
formed into a spotlessly white frock
If these directions are followed: Wash
the frock and place it in water to
which has been added washing soda
to the proportion of lump the size
of an, egg to each gallon of water.
Boil until the color has entirely dis
appeared, rinse through several clear
waters and hang in the sun to bleach.
When dry, pack away rough dried,
for ironed clothes will turn yellow if
packed away unused for months, says
the Philadelphia North American.
If you possess a very pretty white
frock of silk or sheer material which
has never been Numbered, wrap it in
blue paper before placing it in the
drawer or trunk. This will preserve
its Wilderness.
White shoes should be cleaned
thoroughly dried and stuffed with it's
sue paper, if you haven't shoe trees.
Wrap these in papers or place in
muslin bag or box to keep them from
becoming dusty.
S Gloves of white silk or cotton should
be washed carefully and when dry
wrapped in blue paper. This is very
wise precaution to take if you desire
to wear them next season; otherwise
they will turn yellow. White silk
stockings should receive the same
treatment, and should be mended, II
needed, before storing away
Summer dance frocks and costumes
of white serge should never be hung
or packed away soiled. Send them to
the cleaners to be ready for remod-
cling next year.
Rid your wardrobe of all garments
for which you will have no use. There
is no use in cluttering the house with
old clothes, which may be useful to
someone else.
You should pay just as much at
tention to the storing of your sum
mer clothing as you do to packing
away that of winter, for in many
homes it must form the nucleus of the
next summers outfit.
