" WHAT EVERY MOTHER WANTS T0 KNOW ABOUT HER BABY By Anna Steese Richardson, Director of the Better Babies Bureau of the Woman’s Home Companion— Ques- tions of Mahy Mothers Answered. L e NO. 8—Clothing. ,4Copyright, 1914, by the Woman's Home Companion.) 1.—What is necessary for the baby’s layette ? Four abdominal bands, soft flannel, unhemmed, six to eight inches wide, twenty inches long. Four shirts, silk-and-wool ton-and-wool. Size 2. Four flannel skirts, hung from shoulder, not with bands to pin round the abdomen. . Four nightgowns or wrappers of outing flannel, open in front. Three knitted bands, wool-and- cotton, with shoulder straps. Six very simple white slips. Four dozen diapers, cheesecloth, birds-eye or stork diapering, which/ looks like old soft Turkish toweling. Three pairs of socks for summer baby. Three pairs long stockings for win- er baby. One simple coat and cap. One pair of mittens for winter. Two short, loose sacques’ for sud- den changes in temperature, Two_crocheted or knitted or flannel blankets. or cot- 4 2.—What length should the baby’s « glips; be? 4 Twenty-seven inches when finished. Bkirts in proportion. ..The skirt but- toned or fastened on the shoulder, is known as the Gertrude skirt. The pack of the slip should be fastened swith tapes, not buttons. 3.—What is the best fabric for slips Bnd cotton skirts? Soft long cloth, lawn, nainsook, batiste, which should be washed be- fore being made up., to protect the baby’s tender skin from any chemi- cals which may be used in bleaching or mercerizing the fabric. 4. —How can I keep my baby’s socks on? He has been so active from birth. You can substitute long. stockings N for socks, and pin them to the diapers, or better still. you can make petti- ccats, nightgowns and the little coat In two Dpieces, .back and front, with the back longer than the front, and firiished “with''a “square’ flap, like an envelope. ‘This.is turned up-and over .. the front of the garment and fastened with buttons, tapes or safety pins. Then baby can kick without socks, protected from chill. 5.—Hog long does a baby wear the abdominal band? Generally until two months .ald. Then replace it with the knitted ban, with shoulder straps. ¢ 6.—How soon ‘can I use the rubber dlaper over birdseye? W Never. Rubber diapers are most tunhealthy and a common cause of chafing. It is far better to train the child not to wet his diapers. At eight months begin setting him on a small chamber every hour and the habit of KEENEY’S ALL THIS WEEK BUSH AND ENGED.

They do not pro- tect the child nor teach him clean habits. 7.—Should the abdominal band be laid aside in summer? For the normally healthy child, ves, at two months, always substituting the knitted band with shoulder straps. The baby suffers with heat in summer, precisely as an adult does. During the warm part of the day, if protected from draught, the baby needs nothing but this knitted band, a diaper and a single slip. For morning and evening an outing flannel wrapper may be worn over the slip. There is more danger from overdressing thar un- derdressing the baby in summer. TIt| should have its tub bath in the morn- ing and a sponge bath before bedtime, with plenty of fresh clothing. 8.—How tight shotild the bellyband be fastened? > Just tight enough to support the ab- dcmen and protect the navel. It must never be tight enough to cause ridges ir. the flesh. It may be sewed on with | locse stitches or pinned with reliable safety pins. Never take a chance on cheap safety pins in dressing your baby. A pin prick may lead to in- fection. 9.—When shall I shorten my baby’s clothes? At six months. This second set of clothes may be a little more elabor- ate than the first layette, with cam- bric, long cloth or nainsook petticoats, but avoid lace and embroidery edging cn neck and sleeves. Cases of eczema have been traced to the use of trim- ming which chafed the skin and in- vited infection. Make all garments, slips, skirts and bands, to hang from the shoulder. 10.—Does a baby need a veil when cutdoors? Veils are little used and are not considered hygienic. If the baby’s eves are properly protected from the direct Tays of the sun, and if the top of the carriage is so adjusted as to protect him from a direct draught, the veil is unnecessary and a source of discomfort do therbaby. 11.—How should a young baby be dressed at night? In a diaper, bellyband and night- gown. In cold weather, have ample covering and protect the . bed from draught. -In summer, do not have — | SCC7 N headdresses.

All the acts are rated as Theadliners, and it is very seldom that the productions appearing on the program this week are Induced to play without being the headliners. The workings of the underworld are exposed by a one act drama entitled The Confession. This play treats in a .Is(:ientiflc way the methods used to cover up a crime by a clever society crook. Miss Dena Cooper of Sidney, Australia, is the leading lady of the act, and by her clever interpretations of the emotional parts brings the act up to one of the best productions now playing in New England. Mr. Sheldrick also helps to make the play what it is by playing the part of the crook to perfection. Another source of regret will be the leaving of Margaret Burke after to- night’s performance. Miss Burke has niade a good many friends during her short stay in this city, and they will SCENE FROM “SAPHO.” téor, will play the role of “Jean,” while the balance of the cast is ad- mirably handled by actors well up in filmland. During an entertainment given by an engineer, a model, Fanny Le- grand, meets Jean, who is studying law in Paris. Sapho, called on Jean from time to time at his student’s quarters, and nursed him through a long illness. One day a sculptor, a friend of Jean's, lifted a corner of the veil that hid Sapho’s past; this made Jean jealous and Sapho ap- peased him by the surrender of her old letters. After some high words with Sapho, and on the invitation of his uncle, Jean takes a trip to bis native home, but as soon as he returns to Paris, Sapho exercises the old influence over him. At the press- ing request of Sapho, Jean adopts a child in total ignorance that the child | is the son of a condemned forger. a former lover of Sapho's. While away to his home Jean learns that his mistress has received a visit from her former lover, is maddened with jealousy and insists that Sapho go with him to America, but she de- clines and it finally seen with her old lover and the child. The balance of the special Saturday includes “The Silent Witness,” a two- reel western drama, featuring War- ren Kerrigan; “The Circus,” a juve- nile comedy. Tomorrow ‘‘ Joan of Arc,” the Maid of Orleans, will be| shown. For freezing ice cream and sher- bets use three portions of ice to one | of salt, be truly sorry to have her leave.

Besides introduc- irg little novelties, tight rope walking is the main factor of the ‘entertain- ment. The feats performed on the wire are indescribable, except to say the balancing is wonderful. Bush and Engle can also claim their share for making the bill one of th Lest ever. The bar stunts are just as wcnderful as the tight rope walking of Granto and Maud, and there is much discussion by the man on the street as to which set of acrobats de- serve the most credit. The Maxinoff Troupe concludes the show, and another act to balance up the bill any better could not be se- cured for 1ove nor money. This troupe dces a little of everything, such as sing, dance, and play musical instru- ments. This act of so many varied pleasures hae a pleasing effect on the attendance, and their success is as- sured whenever they appear in New Britain, owing to their fine work for the last week. ; Household Notes Old velveteen should be saved for polishing cloths.

Now be it emphatically understood that I am not one of those say that being more economical is the way to solve the problem the vastly increased cost of the necessities of life, and stationary or slightly increased wages have forced upon a large number of people. we simply contented ourselves with living more economically and did n try to have things set right, that would mean that the buying power wages would be pushed down still further, and we should be no better than now. My feeling about the matter is this. If we common folks can | more economically and at the same time more healthily, let's do it for o own sdkes, and yet keep right on trying to have evils carrected and get everything that belongs to us, Then if we ever do get things ened out, our habit of economical eating will mean that we will have 80 much larger a margin for other purposes. Of course you realize that by economical eating I do not mean scrin ing or eating bad food. 1 mean efficient eating. ‘“Efficiency” according Y the dictionary means, “‘the ratio of useful work to energy expended.” flency in eating is the ratio of energy produced to the cost of food en. whic] b Different conditions and different kinds of work demand diffe: foode.
