Fur for Decoration of Costumes
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

The new gowns for April have
peltry at hem, at edge of sleeves and
around the neck. Even when the ma
terial is chiffon, georgette crepe and
thin silk, fur is the decoration. 1t is
not put on figured fabrics unless they
are opaque and built into wraps. but
1t gaily embellishes solid colors, espe-
cially gray. pastel pink, mauve, water
green and Chinese yellow. All these
colors are at the top of fashion.
There are many curious furs in
the market that woman can find
what she wants to match any frock
she makes Some of these are dyed,
others are left as they came from
colorful animals. Gray fur continues
10 be fashionable in conjunction with
mauve, yellow and green fabrics.
White fur is not used as il was in

All Through the Night.

Notwithstanding the presence, of
new baby in the house, all hands. and
especially mamma, should have eight
hours sleep out of each twenty-four.
If mamma is a 100 per cent mother
and anything happens to interfere
with her eight hours of sleep al night,
then she must make up for lost time
by taking a. nap of an hour or two
after midday lunch. Possibly she may
not sleep at this time. but no matter,
she can al least lie down and rest,
which is nearly if not quite the same
There is no medicine like sleep to
help a young mother in the big job
of nursing her baby. ] often think
that if all the amateur mothers who
are sincerely trying to be 100 per cent
mothers would spend the time nap
ping which they spend listening to
Mrs. Camps stories and advice, this
fair country of ours would not be so
overrun with baby specialists nor so
burdeped by systems of infant feed
ing.
A baby few weeks old is justified
In demanding two feeds in the night,
after the age of six weeks but one
night nursing, and after the age of
four months normal infant should
require no food from 10 pm. to s
am. Many babies learn to sleep from
10 to without food from the third
month.
For the baby's best interest a sep
arate crib should be provided from
the very beginning. Under no cir
cumstances should the baby sleep
with mother.
The clock. not the intensity of the
haby's bawling or the sympathy of
grandma, should determine meal time
for the baby. A baby's works are
timed physiologically. That is, the
movements and functional activities
concerned with digestion are co-ordi
mated and adjusted finely as to put
many clocks and fiivvers to shame. 1t
makes all the difference in the world
how regularly the fuel is fed to the
delicate machine. Formerly doctors
taught that the new baby should be

youngest tikes, and four-hourly nurs-
ing after the baby is a month or two
old. This schedule has been found to
fit in better; probably it synchronizes
with the physiological intestinal ac-
tivities better than the old-time two
or two and one-half-hour plan. The
modern schedule gives the baby five
