THE cHILD'S BATH.

Now. as we all know. the child who Is
prettiest at the party is the clean child,
yet simple as the word bath sounds
there is many a mother who knows moth
ing about the proper way to bathe her
child. In every bathroom there should
be a soft bit of rug before the tub for
the child to step on when getting out and
a bath towel over that You have seen
the kiddie shudder. when. tumbling out
of the warm plunge on the cold tiled or
wooden floor, and this means not only
the memory Of the unpleasant moment
next time. but the possibility Of chill that
may result in cold. Then there are the
soap. the brush that scrubs small nails,
and the towel that wipes dry. II mothers
only knew how unwelcome they may
make these necessary luxuries they
would turn over a new leaf. for I have
seen mammas employ laundry soaps on
small faces. use brushes with wooden
bristles on tender finger and toe nails
and do the final wiping down with 7.w
huckaback towels which were almost as
harsh as sandpaper.
For small faces and ears there are .he
old damask tablecolths and napkins that
can be torn up and hemmed for wash
colths and face towels: but even with
hard into little ears and eyes The
quality of the soap is a very important
matter to consider. for II is quite easy
to damage child's skin with a .ke4p
grade of soap. and once some imperfec-
tion is started up il is hard to cure. For
all round use on little faces. scalps and
bodies a soap jelly made by scraping
six-inch length of CASTLE bar and boil
ing 1t to a pulp in a quart of water is
desirable. This can be kept in a Ire
serve jar with a screw top, and the |
tiniest dab of the soft soap be used ct a
time.
Both soda and sea salt are sweet |
ening to the flesh. while a bag of oat- |
meal or bran agitated in the bath will |
leave the skin soft and smooth as satin |
and whiten it besides The toilet wa-er |
should be of a simple and refreshing sort, I
and I can think of nothing better for this |
than a mixture made of equal portions
of toilet ammoniE. and violet water
When this is used pour a little in the
hand and apply It to the small body
after it has been bathed and dried.

of the child's eyes, as to get the least
ammonia in the eyes is agony in the
For the powder there are

August 3-Elizabeth Penrose.

Elizabeth Penrose has the double dis
ting tion of being a prominent English
historian and the daughter of Cartwright
the clergyman who invented the power
loom. and so revolutionized the textile
industry the world over. Elizabeth was
born August g. 1880. and when still a mere
babe her mother died and she spent the
remainder of her childhood at the home
of some maiden aunts in Markham. and
1t is from the name of this English town
that she took her pen name, Mrs. Mark
ham" In her early teens she went to
typical boarding school of the period
where she herself wrote later. moth
ing useful could be learned" However
she managed to find time to do consider
able useful reading aside from her reg
ular studies.
An uncle writing of the girl at, about
this time said: Elizabeth, though a
merry girl devours folios of history with
much more appetite than her meals, ex-
cept when we have bantam eggs: then
indeed she is like a conjurer swallowing
his balls
When she was "a Eliza married John
Parker. and nine years later she began
the publication of her famous histories,
originally written for the use of her own
children For forty years her history of
England was the only book of its kind
in tne language ana enjoyed immense
sales. Mrs. Penrose frankly admitted
that IN her histories she purposely omit
ted all scenes of cruelty and party poll
tics after the time of the English revolu-
ton as being too complicated. One rather
wonders what there was left of English
history to weave together into history
Mrs. Penrose was described as "a happy
wife and mother of three promising sons,
a most delightful woman with a lively,
active accomplished mind, and the most
engaging sweetness and simplicity of
manners" She was fair slight. and a
little above average height. Her husband,
like her father. was a clergyman.
