Not yet satisfied with the list “pretties” for the baby, those who cater to them have added another item to it.

And who could doubt such proof | as resuits when the box is complete? The Shape. These hat boxes for infants’ bonnets | may be either round or square. They are covered with pink or blue satin with a_high bow of matching satin ribbon perched on top of the cover. A | band of the ribbon extends from the | knot diagonally across the box, being turned up under the lower part of the | cover. Another piece of the ribbon is | 8o deftly joined to the lower section | and carried down to the bottom of the box that it appears when the cover is | on that the ribbon is continuous.

A sachet may be made to fit the bottom of the box as an added touch, also giving a soft place for the honnets to rest These boxes may be large enough | for two or three infants' bonnets or small enough for just one.

He hired a bathing snit | for the prevailing charge of $1 and | made use of the additional privilege to check his watch and money with the attendant Two hours later, having bathed and dressed, Henderson presented the cou pon to redeem his valuables, but the attendant reported the envelope miss ing. He immediately filed a claim with the resort company, but they re- fused to reimburse him for his loss, claiming that he had pald nothing extra for the checking privilege, and therefore they owed him no duty to reimburse him Henderson's attorney thought other: wige and filed suit against the resort company. The court decided in favor of Henderson, saying “Where bathhouse owners {nvite the patrons to place their valuables in an envelope filed with the bathhouse attendant, there is an obligation on the caretaker to exercise ordinary care in safekeeping and the return of the patrons’ valuables, and they are liable in case of loss.” (Copyright.

Rt e The Semaphore e By SHIRLEY RODMAN WILLIAMS E pray for the safety of our children, and we are sad with those whose little folk suffer accidents, yet every day I see grownups grimly dragging chil- drén by the hand and taking deliberate chances in traffic. They blandly ignore thd policeman or the semaphore, and hurry the child along. Traffic signals come often enough that it seems the minute gained disobeying the signal isn"t worth the risk of having the child do the same thing when he's alone, and possibly losing out on the gamble. Why not stand on the curb and use the extra minute to teach the child? Say to him, “Now, you tell me when it's safe to go” The child will not only be proud of the confidence you place in him, but will learn to respect traffic signals which are put there to be obeyed for safety's sake! ~N ;a:i .

Timid as he is, Whitefoot is very active and dearly loves to play about. He likes the snow, and every pleasant night found him out and about. Sometiy he was out during the day. It wa always a chance he took, but he used to excuse himself by saying: “I ought to get my living day by day if T can and keep those supplies in the stump for bad weather when I cannot get about. Yes, sir, that is what I ought to do.” Now this sounds like good common | sense. It would have been good com mon_sense had it not been that the | supplies in that storehouse were great enough to last Whitefoot the rest of the Winter.
