chapped, too. and this is very painful for
a child and is likely to mako him irritable.
If the childs face is patted dry instead
of being rubbed with a harsh towel, the
skin will not be irritated. Chapping can
be prevented by dashing cold water gem

goes out. but take care to rub cold cream

easily cleaned when soiled.
Either Of the designs illustrated would
look pretty; SO, If desired, both could be
employed, one on the front of tho cosy
and the other at the back. The whole
affair should be carefully lined, and then
padded with cotton wool. final lining

The cosy could be finished with hne
cord, either in blue or green. But which
ever color is chosen 1t should exactly
match the shade of the raffia used In the

BABY'S BATH
Care of His Shin in Cold Weather

the child from head to foot with slightly
heated olive oil or cocoa butter. This
should be done about once or twice a
week. and preferably at night.
Use a gentle, frm stroke, and since the
warm bath has opened the pores, the oil
will be quickly absorbed. II chafng is
very bad. use oil to wash the baby's
body instead of water for a while. Don't
use any soap. either; a bag filled with
bran. oatmeal or almond meal is lust as
good. Finish this with a good dusting of
talcum powder or the following: Starch,
two-thirds; boric acid powder, one-third.
Borated talcum, corn starch, rye flour,
fuller's earth, rice powder. etc, are good
too.
II you follow this treatment on your
baby's skin. it will certainly show the re-
suit OF care.
