TT WAS an excessively warm after
 noon and the woman in limp lav'
 ender organdy, who was wheeling her baby along the street, seemed to be quite oblivious of the fact that the bril- liant sunlight was streaming full into his face. ,.,
 He bHnked and made frantic little passes with his hand to shield his face from the sun. One or two women who passed looked pityingly at the baby and a little unkindly at his mother.
 "Wouldn't you think?" said the wo- man in cool green dimity, "that my mother would notice how. the sunlight bothered that poor babyg"
 The mother heard and a tritle resent. fully reversed the go-cart and trundled it along ahead of her.
 She said to herself that if that other woman had lost as much sleep as she had in the past few weeks with a cross, teething baby, she might not be so particular, either, about the way the sun was shining.
 The little baby in the go-cart whim- pered and looked distressed. His lnoth- CT, who really loved him, though she was very tired and discouraged because the weather was so warm, and she had lost so much sleep on account or the breathlessness of the nights, did not seem to notice that the baby was too warm.
 Much, much too warm. He wore a little cashmere bonnet Gnd trickles of nerspiration ran down his pink tired face. He was wearing, also, little linen coat and he did not need it in the least, His mother was feeling the heat intensely and she was dressed in a thin, transparent gown.
 But she could talk about the heat. The baby couldn't.
 Most mothers would shudder at the thought that they were unkind to their babies. But it is an unkindness to let your baby sit in the sunlight when the rays shine directly in its face and make it wrinkle up it's nose and eyes and try yainly to ward off the distressing light with helpless little hands.
 If you must take your baby down town in warm weather try to keep him as comfortable as possible.
 A cool linen hat lined with green is restful and protects the child from sunburn, freekles and annoyance.
 If YOU must wheel your child in chair-cart, don't jolt and jar it at the corners and street crossings. A baby's spine is very sensitive and it may be easily injured by careless pushing and pulling and jerking of one of these springless gO-carts.
 If you cannot get a carriage with springs that will ease the jolt of travel over the pavements, you can at least nut soft, comfortable pillows in the go- cart and ease the little body against them.
 Most babies would be a great deal better off at home, rolling about on ] blanket spread on the grass-if there was some one to watch that they did not put grass and stones in their mouths.
 But if the baby must accompany his mother down into the noise and diver sions of the town, shield him from the direct sunlight, shelter him from we'll meaning persons who ;nsiSr upon kiss ing him and running inquiring fingers into his mouth to see if he is getting any teeth" Give him the benefit of be: ing an individual, consider his comfort, ROSE BEIGE CREPE DE CHINE
