and $40 for dealers. The license is for
three years, the same as now, only it

What with doctors insisting that
babies are usually dressed too heavily
and grandmas insisting that they must
not be allowed any chance of getting
cold, their anxious relatives are put
to all sorts of maneuvering to keep
them just right. 1t is certain that
many of them are overburdened with
too-warm clothing and lack of freedom
in the midsummer months. They ap-
pear to enjoy kicking their small heels
about untrammeled by petticoats, and
those wise people, the nurses especial
ly trained to care for them, insist on
letting them enjoy this pleasure.
They tell us the baby needs, by way
Of underclothing, his light, soft fan
mel shirt and flannel band about the
bowels, and that he will do very well,
without even slip of thin cotton, If
these are provided, to prevent his get
ting chilled.
But, as concession to custom and
mothers, they grant the thin, short
slip of nainsoC < or other sheer fabric,
with little soft lace about the neck.
And they enter no objection to the
use of narrow lace insertions or hem,
stitching or dainty hand-embroidery
by which the loving mother makes
the slip seemly for her extraordinary
and wonderful child to wear with re-
gard to his health and comfort.
Now If there is nip Of GOODNESS
in the air in the morning or evening,
the baby may don little extra and
comfortable finery in the shape Of a
sack or nightingale" He is apt to
find himself in possession of good
supply of these, for they are among
the number .of pretty things which
appreciative relatives and admiring
friends shower upon the newcomer

Among them is new example of the

sack. This Is made of light zephyr

and light blue embroidery silk in al

border of scallops and a beading at
the neck, all crocheted. AS finish.
the neck and scallops are edged with
the silk. A chain-stitch of the silk
outlines the scallops and a small
shell" edge finishes the neck, sleeves,
bottom and opening edges.
Satin ribbon a half-inch wide is run
in the beading at the neck and tied
in bow at the front. A bow of it
is perched at the top Of each sleeve.
At the right simpler little garment
is made of a circle of cashmere. 1t Is
folded over and a small circle cut
out at the center for the neck opening.
1t is split to make the front opening
and slashed up a little way to form
the sleeves. All edges are worked
with light pink embroidery silk in
scallops and small flower sprays are
added to the front and sleeves. Mar
row pink satin ribbons join the edges
with little bows.
II one cannot embroider, a pretty
sacque is made of cashmere, having
the edges finished with narrow satin
ribbon. This Is shirred on each edge
and sewed down to take the place of
embroidery. The sleeves are slashed
and the edges tied together with bows
Of ribbon which serve also to fasten

shown in the picture given here, are
made of lawn, dimity, dotted null,
sross-bar muslin or any other of the

possible to cut the apron from small
pieces of goods which one may have

lengths Of lawn finished with narrow
hens.
A band for the neck and cuffs for
the sleeves are made to match by
edging straight strips of the lawn with
the scalloped embroidery.
The second apron is of dotted swiss
set together with an insertion of EN-.
broidery. A narrow hem finishes the
sides and wider one extends across
the bottom. The bands for the collar
and cuffs are made by sewing
hemmed strip of the swiss to length

The addition OF the collar and CUT

be worn by maid who serves at table.
There are several good designs for
these aprons, all constructed with .
