With time drawing near for

BEAUTY CHATS
Decorative Bits.

If YOU look at the houses Of most
of your friends you will be surprised
at the general ugliness-or lack Of
harmony. Most people put together
a home by installing in each room
certain necessary articles of furni-
ture, bought because they were very
cheap, or the salesman told them
that was the latest style, because
some one gave them the piece, OF
some one else had one like it. A
large number of inharmoniouS and
unrelated objects can thus be gath
cred under a roof or into Il room
aided and abetted by the wrong sort
of curtains and a color scheme that
just happened along with all the
other accidents. The general result
is depressing, if not actively ugly

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDEED.
The Premature Child.
ny FANNY Y. CORY.

The prematurely born baby is not
universal problem, but this happens
frequently, and the mother who is
called upon to take care of the wee
mite who has come into the world be-
fore he is due is often W0cfully :GnO-
rant of what constitutes proper care.
The baby is not to be treated as an
ordinary child. If it weighs less than
pounds. its care should be advised
by a physician constantly. 1t can
not be dressed but should be wrapped
in wool and kept in a basket sur
rounded by hot-water bottles, as its
circulation is so poor it is easily
chilled.
Sometimes these tiny creatures are
too weak to nurse, and the breast milk
will have to be expressed by hand or
pumped and given from tiny IMPLIED
bottle The baby should be fed every
two hours, for he can take such a
small amount of nourishment at
time. Breast mix is almost impera-
tive If they are to be saved. 1t is
bad enough to try to get a full-term.
healthy infant started on artificial
feelings from birth, but these babies
have not one ounce of flesh or vital
ity to spare, and breast milk is the
one safe food for them. If the mother
cannot nurse them, breast milk should
be purchased from hospital or else
a wet nurse be provided.
Even when the baby is q month old,
il he has been one month premature,
he must then be looked upon as Just
born" and at two months he should
be thought of as one month old. Take
this into account during the whole OF
the first year. Do not expect the pre-
mature baby to keep up with other
children even Of his approximate age.
Be satisfied if he is gaining steadily.
Do not hurry his development and
be content to allow him to remain ~
hind the standards of normal childre>
There can be no bathing. fondllne
and cooing over for these babies un.
til they have arrived at full term.
They should be oiled daily and put in
their baskets. except at feeding time,
when they should be fed and changed.
For babies pounds and over at birth,
il they are treated like the delicate,
fragile little beings that they are and
given this necessary care, there Is
very good chance that they Will sur
