The night clothes of little lads and
maids, when made for other seasons
than winter. do not differ much from
those worn by their elders. For little
girls, nainsook and batiste and the
light muslins are used for the gowns
and narrow lingerie laces for trim
ming The trimming is simpler, that
is. not so much lace is used. and the
methods of applying it are less intri-
cate.
With the returf Of fancy needlework
to fashion in the belongings of grown
people, 1t is sure to appear on chill
dren's clothes. where 1t seems more
appropriate than any other sort of
trimming. The small and dainty pat

and fine embroidery, 1t is sleeveless,
with a ruffie OF wider val lace finish

The small boys pajamas hardly need
description. They are made OF tight
cotton materials. The pants are
fastened at the waist with tape
which is run through a hem in the
top. They are as plain as can be and
so is the coat. This is usually bound
with braid and provided with a pock-
eft at one side. The same pattern is
used for the canton flannel pajamas
used in cold weather.
For the comfort of little ones who
sleep in cold rooms and are liable to
kick their feet from under cover, bed
shoes of canton flannel or OF elder
down are recommended. They are
easily made and easily Numbered and
they are most comforting.

The fireplace, with it's CHEEKY, open
fire, has often been called the heart
of the home, but the refrigerator hid
den away in some dark and dismal
nook is the stomach of the home and
is. just as important as the heart, at
least. The location OF the humble
refrigerator and its construction
should be as carefully worked out as
the design of the fireplace.
Homes are generally all designed In
much the same way. The design
starts at the front OF the house and
the rooms are carefully laid out The
kitchen, however, is left to fill up
any space that may be left and the
result is often inconvenient and unsat-
isfactory. The business end OF a
house is one of the most important.
Anyone who has worked in a kitchen
that has everything arranged SO that
nothing is handy and that is too shall
to admit of any changes being made

well-arranged kitchen

secret OF the palatability OF this salad,
