were ,posJble to . do so, ft is 'best;
it Is one.ftf th,e surest ways in which
the mother can guide them into the
"straight d,nd narrow path." But
it is npt always possible. There are

Baby's Comfort
IDo-not- forget that the conl mnm
Ings -and vovenings are felt by the
baby. The floor is the coldest place
infthd house, and the crawling' or
toddling baby should be protected
fro;m the sudden changes. ' Tub on
the.ligLi.-JIanaels,. the long sleeves
and high-neck dresses, the', little
stoQkings and shoes, even .though
you must remove part or allvat mid
day. jDo not let the little, one crawl
about on the. bare floor with; wet
clothing, or with blue, mottled
flesh. Much of a baby's sickness is
clearly traccabJo to thoughtless neg
lect during the changeable weathef
pf the late summer and early au
tumn, It will not always do to
"harden" the baby by letting, it get
through the variable temperatures
as ,best it can. Young things .jnust
be kept warm, whether human or
animal, and a healthy baby is never
a cold, rough-skinned one. What
ever Jb neglected, don't let it be the
baby, whose "only language is a
cry," or something only told insigns
of discomfort', anxiety- and, fretful
ness, even though the child can
speak, because it has not yet learned"
how to intelligibly tell you of Its
troubles. Take good care of the
baby.
. Don't forget the extra quilt or
comfort laid beside the children's
bed,, or yo.ijrpwn, these cooL nights,
and . do np't close the wlndpws and
doors too soon. See that there is
fresh air, though there must be ad
ditional cqVerJng at hand for.C any

cloth, and if you have taken pains
with the coloring; and have time to
make into pretty patterns, the qutfts'

tractive. If each person could sleep
alone, as should be done, the bed
clothing would last much loncer. as
fit would be less subject to strain,
ana pulling, as is the case when one
piece must be used by two persons.
Let the little lassies learn to use
the machine on these "patchwork"
covers, and It won't hurt the. boys
to practice on the machine by sup
plying their 'own covers. Teach them
to understand and be careful of the
machine. It may stand them in good

.
Tho roll-shape ruche of crepe
llsse looks well with any collar.
One with a long, slim neck should
stick to high collars, or .bands of
velvet, or other neck garniture.
Turn-over collars and cuffs of em
broidery, -or plain linen hemstitched,
make pretty finishes for dark dresses,
Linen collars .with lace turn-overs
and lace insets are popular. Plain,
linen, pr embreidery turn-evers are
alsp wprn.
Stiff linen collars of the" finest"
plaiting, an Jncfo wide at the' back

tint of -the costume. They may be
had in many colors, 05 made at

Little lingerie bows and jabots,
though not so popular as mull ties,
are still popular. They are so con
structed as to readily admit of laun-,

You must study your plants as
