value. The national committee on
prisons and prison labor has been in
vestigating this side of the convict
road question and has received an
encouraging report from A. d. Will

 A book in which the important af' fairs of the new arrival are to be put on record, a hanger for safety pins of several sizes, 8 pair of arm. lets, and some brightly colored toys suspended by gay ribbons, are pic tured above in the group of baby be longings.
 The record book is made by cover. ing cardboard with white moire silk. A stork is painted on the front cover, and plain heavy white paper provides the leaves. Satin ribbon in light blue or pink is sewed to each cover to fas- ten them together.
 Pink satin ribbon and white cellu- Ibid rings, in three sizes, are used for the safety-pin hangers. One long and three short ends hang from a pretty bow, each terminating in ring. The pins are fastened over the rings.
 Narrow satin ribbon shirred over flat elastic cord forms the armlets. Each is finished with full rosette.
