Training the Baby

The day he is born is not too early
to begin the training of an infant.
The fond mother whos waits until he
is old enough to understand does both
jherself and the infant an injury. A
baby forms a habit in thirty-six hours
for better or for worse" And, fur
ther, his habits are not mental, but
physical. In other words, 1t is not
the upper brain that decides the young
child's action; instead it is those CEN
tiers that make his behavior instructive
like that of an animal. Heat, cold,
hunger and pain only reach its inner
consciousness.

lusty crying spells do much less harm
than to pick UP the child to quiet it by
shaking and fussing.
1t takes about two hours for food to
digest SO the baby must not be fed
more often than every two hours.
Three hours between feelings is even
better. The physician will probably

SILK STOCKINGS WORN
FIRST BY MAN IT'S SAID

The wearing of silk stockings Is
a practice which. while started by
man. was left to women to make
popular.
History records that the first pair
of silk stockings were worn by
Henry III of France in 1547. but
does not say that this became a
practice among men.
On the other hand. in citing the
fact that Queen Elizabeth received
pair of silk stockings as a gift
in the year 1850, history goes on
20 say that she never wore any
other kind again.

HERMIONE.

Hermfone, that euphonius and
poetic name which has recently re-
ceived new vogue as a feminine
title. had its origin in the Greek.
1t comes from ''Hermes," that swift
and eloquent messenger of Zeus
and favorits OF all the gods
throughout Greece. 'Hermes," in
turn. Is popularly supposed to have
its derivation in the Greek word
meaning earth" and hence. the
/ significance of Hermione which is
1'refuge" can be delicately traced.
A long catalogue of famous
Greeks bore names derived from
"Hermes." The first of its femi-
nine interpretations found in the
English language was Hernia" :"
Shakespere's Athenian maiden.
Hermione in ancient legend was
the wife OF Cadmus, founder of
Thebes. and shared his transformas-
ton into a serpent. Another Her
mione was the daughter of Helen
and Menelaus. and at first the wife
/ of Neoplotcmus. though afterward
married to Oretes. and heroine of
tragedy of Euripides where she
was the Jealous prosecutor of the
enslaved Andromache. SHAKESPEARE
calls the heroine of his winters
Tale" Hermionc. and the name ap-
pears again as the mysterious an
, cestress of Anne of Geirstein, in
whom Sir Walter Scott reproduced
the legend of the demon mother of
the fierce Angevin kings; Hermione
is also immortalized in The For
tunes OF Nigel"
The Italian name Erminia is be-
lieved to have been derived from
Hermione and certainly the French
HermIne has the same origin. The
Welsh have a form of Hermione
which they spell E-r-m-i-n. 1t is
from this latter that the English
name Emma is derived.
Those who read with apprecia-
ton one of the leading present day
humorists will straightway connect
Hermione with the "if you get what
1 mean" phrase that has swept the
country in the past few years. This
humorous gentleman no doubt chose
the name Hermione for his dille-
tante heroine as a satire upon the
high order of mentality which has
always been assigned to the Her
miones OF history. Even the poets
tribute to Hermione exalts her in
tellect rather than her beauty:
Il have a wife and she is wise,
Deep in philosophy, strong in
Greek:
spectacIes shadow her pretty eyes.
Coterics rustic to hear her
speak:
She writes a little-for love, not
fame;
