The cap is only about three inches wide, and allows plenty of ventilation. The skeleton cap. which is made of pieces of tape, can be bought for a trifle, or made at home and. s'erves the same purpose, that of keeping the ears in place. So many young girls cornplain of the shape of their noses that 1 Should like to issue a handkerchief edict ermniianding mothers, muses and teachers to lie a little mbre careful in manipulating the baby pug nose, which can so easily be pulled out of shape. You will find that persons who use their handkerchiefs with an upward flourish and considerable vigor usually have slightly upturned z noses, and while nothing is uglier than this habit, it is one of the surest ways of helping the p’tg nose t<i do its worst.

Bahy's head should always be supported as well as the shoulder blades, while the other arm should be passed under the child's feet, the hammock idea being the ideal way to carry a child.

THERE may bn mothers of very properly brought-up and scien tifically pruned and trimmed maidens who have never had a mo ment's doubt if Daysey Mayme Apple ton is an Example or a Warning. They believe she is a Warning. Per haps she Is. Everybody is a warning to somebody for some reason. We are all Danger Signals, byt not many of us know it. But if engaged in her numerous love affairs, whether in her capacity as an influence in the Up-Lift, or in her so cial ambition, Daysey Mayme has her good points. She always comes up unrehuffed, and never looks as if she needed a Con tentment Pill. If in the transports of requited love or in the pangs of a love that is not returned, she enjoys it. Naturally, she always takes it mote seriously than the man for the reason that he has a mus tache to divert hts attention. If rebuffed In her efforts to raise hu manity to the Up-Lift, she smiles and hunts up a new scheme for reform. If her social ambitions fail to raise her to cut glass society, she finds greater pleasure, and more diversion, in the empty jelly glass crowd. She is popular because she laughs heartily at the jokes of others, and only titters at her own. The Sour-Souled Kind. There are some people who do not laugh enough, having tasted so much in their lives that is sour that the taste has settled In their souls, hut this can not be charged against Daysey Mayme. She goes into a whirlwind of giggles when a man sneezes in church, and snickers at the drop of a hat. She shakes and quakes and quivers in laughing in a manner tn drive a sour faced president and Chief Squee-wee of a W. C. T. U. to drink. She makes over her ideals too often to suit those who demand Constancy. But a girl's Ideals are never made over as often before she gets a 4 man as her dreases are afterward. When any one makes her a gift, she gets out a tom-tom and beats it anti calls attention to the generosity of the donor, and, consequently, soon gets an other. This proves that Daysey Mayme is shrewd, and does some thinking under her fifty-seven different varieties of hair.

There was nothing left to go back for, as the sewing machine drawers were loaded with thread, and the closets were cramped with samples. When, oh jov! Her mother asked her to get ten yards of calico. She wanted to make a house dress for herself, she said, and she gave Daysey Mayme a piece to match. ' Daysey Mayme thought and thought. Suppose she went to the store and HE was not there! Ten yards of opportu nity wasted! To make sure of seeing him, and to make sure of seeing him often, she de cided to get the calico a yard at a time. Daysey Mayme. happy in her ingen uous scheme, went in and bought one yard, and had it wrapped up. Oh, bliss! He waited on her. Again Me Waited on Her, She left the store with her bundle, walked around the block and stopped in the store, and got a second yard. Oh, joy! Again he waited on her. This time she walked around the block with two bundles under her arms, and next time it was three. Then four, then five, then six. and so on till she left the store with a sad little sigh. For she had the ten sards and there was no necessity for calling at the store again. When she handed her mother the calico in ten different packages, there was a scene that awakened the babies in the next block. A lullaby sung by a prime donna couldn't have been more effective. Rut Daysey Mayme didn't care, for she had seen her Best Beloved ten times!
