baby gets his airings in most delight fully comfortable ways. What good time he does have to be sure.
 Bath hour too is such a Injurious time, if the small person only realized it. Never again in all his life, prob- ably. will he be so Tapped in luxury. so surrounded with creature comforts and ministering care Who of us in deed has a bath thermometer carefully inserted in the water by anxious love every morning before the precious one is allowed to perform ablutions? Who, but baby? And who is so critically particular about the soap and talcum you and I use; or whether our towels be the finest. softest damask? Baby ought to enjoy his morning bath-and usually he does!
 Three of the countless comforts for bath-hour are pictured; a drying and airing rack for little garments. a clothes-tree on which the little night petticoat and slip and bathgown may be hung when they are taken off: and a soiled clothes hamper which is as dainty and luxurious as all the rest of baby's belongings-an affair Of cream white wicker with garlands of pale blue and pink flowers. The dry ing rack and clothes-tree are of white enameled wood painted with garlands of flowers also. For the bath hour there is a cunning low washstand fitted out with Kate Greenaway china; and a low white chair for mother or nurse to sit on. And there are various

ing all by himself. Yet not one bit of dangerous strain comes on the little legs and feet for the swing is suspend ed well above the floor by strong spring. It can be hung in the porch or from the bar that goes across a door to support portieres, indoors.
 When baby gets tired of this active exercise he may have his fenced in play-place with rug spread on the hoor or out on the grass. The fence Is tall enough to prevent even two- year-old from climbing out of the corral. yet there is room enough in side for an active baby to have all the fun he wants, crawling about.
 When sleepy time comes there is the delightful wheeled bassinet which can be moved about wherever it is coolest and shadiest. or wherever mother is to be busy nearby. Such bassinet is pictured and even without any dainty trappings you observe. this is a most luxurious little bed-made of white wicker with standard and wheels of white enameled wood and the wheels rubber-rimmed. The framework for the hood is adjustable and may be pushed back to lie quite flat when de- sired. In this dainty crib will go a nat, firm mattress with a thick quilted pad. sheets of pure linen. fine, soft blanket and a little comfortable of quilted silk. The hood will be of or gandy or dotted swiss over silk; and broad satin ribbon may be drawn through the open space in the bas- sinet.
 This bassinet is for the small baby, only. The sturdy fellow Cor young lady) going on two years old must have something more substantial. for an active baby of year or more might manage to propel the rolling bed off the porch steps, or tip the bassinet off It's standard. By the time baby Is year old he should have req. crib in size that will accommodate him

skirt is very easy to make at home There are two straight breadths, care fully matched at the seams to bring the stripes even distances apart. The foot of the skirt is turned up and henmed by hand and the top is gath cred into belt. Usually the placket opening comes down one hip; or it may be placed under the sash if the sash is to be tied always in the same place. A skirt of this sort may be made in a morning and will be a joy all summer in it's dainty coolness and good style

the water lukewarm and not too hot; to use medium hot iron and to hang the skirt in the shade for drying. Hot water, hot sunshine or very hot iron will give a yellowish tinge to pure white silk.
 Every sport skirt that is sold has belt or girdle or sash of some kind. Usually it is a belt, though some mod els have quite elaborate sashes trimmed with fringe. A pretty idea Is illustrated in a striped silk skirt narrow blue stripes in groups on the white. A bit of the strping has been used for the long sash that is knotted once and then allowed to fall in straight ends, the stripes emphasizing the striped pattern of the skirt. Such

 herself in the mirror of a still
 pool, and ran her fingers through A her tresses-and mentally appre- clated their possibilities-it is prob able that she looked around for hair pin. Of course. she did not call it a hairpin: all she desired was something long enough and strong enough to hold up her locks and sharp enough to go through without tearing-while she gazed in the pool and tried her coiffure several ways. What she hit upon-and clever idea it was too was a thorn. For many years wom- en used thorns to pin up their hair. Then there were rude pins carved out

 Shell hairpins always look prettiest in woman's hair. but if you have very thin, fine hair you have discovered that the shell pins slip and slide out distressingly. You may have to use "a few good strong. sturdy wire hair Ipins to keep the basic knot of your coiffure in place. but pin the fluffy coil at the back with shell pins as finish. Shell hairpins are more or less orna- mental but protruding wire hairpins are never anything less than ugly.

One such model is of toast brown or gandy with apron panels ruff1ed all around and a wide sash that ties in big bow at the back. It seems rather a pity not to go little further and have a waist to match this brown or dany skirt--and achieve a complete costume, when there are more appro- priate and more desirable sport skirts of silk.

~ preferred materlal Tor summer M sport skirts. There is a soft W ness, a blowy quality about the SIX skirt that makes it look and feel very cool. It does not crumple like the skirt of ordinary tub fabric and of course one feels exceedingly well dressed in it. The new sport silks launder beautifully too-a >very spe- cial mmendation-and if the skirt is a simple, straight model gathered to a belt, woman can wash it out in her room at summer hotel and press it with an electric iron.
 Both pleated and plain skirts appeal to fashion this season but the rather fanciful French models do not meet with great favor in America-nor in England.I The American woman likes to have her sport costume of beautiful material and fancies sport skirts of silk and even of organdy; but she wants her sport garments to suggest sport in their trig tailored lines. The French skirts have slashed tunics, drapery at the hip. deep yokes, irreg ular hems and other features that would be all very we'll for dance frocks or formal costumes. but which do not seem to American taste to sug gest sport.
 Fringe On Sport Skirts
 A very popular sport skirt in Paris this spring resembles the bright col ored woven scarfs that are worn around the shoulders. Gay stripes make a deep border around the skirt and the edge is finished with deep fringe. These skirts are made of wool as well as of silk and the fringe at the edge makes them rather graceful. But the American girl prefers her sport skirt hemmed and hems are deep just now. Most skirts come in a good length-to appeal to purchasers who do not care for the abbreviated style and the hem has to be turned up if you want a fashionably short skirt. This has been done so much with ready-made skirts that deep hems have somehow come to be the proper thing and narrow hem looks skimpy.
 Beautiful Colors In New Skirts
 There are plenty of white silk sport skirts and not few pale gray ones, but most of the models show gay color and in silk one may wear brighter shades than in other fabrics for the silk texture seems to soften and en- rich even garish hues. Two skirts pictured are Of tallyho silk in very bright color and both models are au- thoritative expressions of the best summer style. One is pleated skirt of gray and orange silk. the other is striped in black and deep blue. with dots and dashes of white on the blue <stripes. A blue stripe is used cross ,ysys for the belt.

- HERE is going to be one person ~ who will be gloriously and en-
 tirely comfortable this summer - no matter how everybody else in the family suffers-and that is his highness, the baby. He will have bright nurseries facing the south and cool sleeping chambers with comfy crips whose cool sheets are of smooth linen and whose little blankets (to be drawn up when the night breeze comes in too strong), are of feather-light wool. And when dressing time arrives in the morning, there will be countless iuxuries to make the hour an infantile joy and not trying ordeal for all concerned.
 Isn't the spring-swing pictured the happiest idea ever thought of for baby? Of course, he imagines he is doing the jumping all by himself, for every time his soft little inefficient feet touch the floor. up he goes. And the more he wriggles and springs, the more he seems to be doing the jump

sorts of delightful bath tubs. white enameled ones that set on the floor and rubber ones that are suspended from wooden supports. And to make the bath all the merrier there are life like looking fish to float in the water and swimming dolls that may take a bath along with baby.
 One of the supreme comforts of the modern baby Is the romper; the jolly, delightful romper which permits the small person to creep and tumble and roll to hearts content with no exas perating lace-trimmed petticoats for ever getting in the way. Baby's romp- CT this summer is of cool. fresh linen featherstitched pretily around neck and sleeve-edge. And he is put into this happy garment by the time he is eight months old.

We Add SO Cents to
Each Dollar Invested
by An E11lplOye

DECENTLY the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) announced plan under which
= it is possible for its $4,000 employees to
become partners in the business on very
attractive basis.
The publisher of a small newspaper, unac-
quainted with the motives which animate the
seven men who direct the operation OF the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana), wrote an
editorial in which he questioned the mOt1VesO OF
this Company and intimated that the plan was
a scheme whereby the Company aimed 70
benefit by getting in this additional capital
To set right this publisher and any one else
interested the Company deems it advisable to
direct attention to two outstanding features OF
this planwhichare Illuminating in this instance
First that to every dollar paid by the en-
ploye for the purchase OF stock, the Company
adds, gift soc.
Second that participation in the plan IS not
obligatory and that in no case is an empoye
permitted to pay in more than twenty percent
of his earnings.
In formulating the employee partnership plan,
the Board of Directors of the Standard OH
Company Qndiana) inspired solely by the
idea of benefiting those employees who wish,
through systematic saving, to become partners
s+ in the business. 1t believes that the who
80 works and saves is climbing upward but that
the manwho invests his savngswisely is climb
~ ,,a ing faster. 1t believes that the empOye who
has money invested in the business is treer OF
*s mind, cOntented, and more productive
than if this anchor to wndward did not exist
The idea of employee ownership of industry is
in line with modern tendencies. The Standard
Oil Company Qndlana) has always been a
progressive organization. Its willingness TO
receive new ideas has put it IN the lead In
the petroleum industry.
TheStandard Oil Company Gndiana) has devel
oped an efficient, enthusiastic body of workers
Every empoye, from the Chairman of the
Board of Directors to the man who drives
tank wagon is working steadfastly to serve
the public to the best of his ability.
1t is the recognition of this fact that prompted
the Board of Directors to inaugurate the plan
which enables the employe whatever his
position may be-to become partner-a
