THE ANGEL - OF THE BELLS. Rose Verdiere’s Part in Unravelling a Murder Mystery of Notre Dame Tower. THE LADY WITH THE BLUE VEIL. » Amateur Resectives Aided by the Bell-Ringer’s Daughter, Track Down the Murderer. BY F. DU BOIS GOBEY. CHAPTER I. A Strange Crime, ()*s morning in the spring of 1874 two men leaned from a Hotel De Dieu hospital window. in Parls, | and idly watched the throng of people } who filled the open space before Notre. | Dame Cathedral. The two were Altwrt | Daubrac, a young physician attached to | the hospital, and his friend. the Baron Meriadev, a somewhat wealthy and ec- .) @entric man of middle age, who spent pMost of his time relieving tho distress of the poor, } _ The two were waiting to see Rose Ver- | dlere pass. Rose was the daughter of ‘Verdier, the drunken old ex-soldier, | who acted as bell-ringer of Notre Dame. The girl worked hard to eke out his | scanty income. She was young, beauti- {ful and good.

Until very Fevently the cumbrous yet unsuitable olothing prepared for infants suggested to sensible people the processes em- ployed in arraying the historic “Baby Bunting.” It will be remembered that the toilet of that famous little individ- ual was Intruated to the male members of his family, with the result thet they forthwith went ‘“a-hunting,” “To fetch a rabbit skin to wrap the baby up in.” Even the rabbit skin waa etter adapted to a baby's neods than his sometime paraphernalia of com- pressing bandages, cumbersome long skirta, unhygientc rubber napkin shields, tight-pinning blankets and a general weight of garments deptnding from his ‘waist line.

THE NIGHT DRESS.

It ts fastened to an abdominal band, which has straps to button over the shoulder, All strain ts thus removed. A COMFORTABLE LITTLE KIMONA. The baby to be in the fashion must have his lttle Kimona. Any mother can make one of pretty outing cloth, or buy one like the flluatration for 60 or 75 cents, Trim the sleeves and the collar with ribbon, adding a ribbon bow at the neck. In buying or in making any bit of the baby's raiment @& mother should never sacrifice comfort to mere prot- tiness. A POINT OF VANITY. Neither should she place her own van- ity before her little one’s health of body anfl wholesome peace of mind. Better, let your neighbor's child look finer than your own !f, In order to make an equal showing of finery, the comfortable, sen- sible little garments must be changed for unaccustomed ones which are un- comfortable or give unnecessary ex> posure to gid. Better drop your work or interrupt a pleasant chat a dozen times a day to make your baby com- fortable rather than neglect him. GOING INTO SHORT CLOTHES. At six months of ago in summer and at about elght months in the winter the baby may ‘go into short clothes.” The IKtle skirts ought then to reach to just above the ohild’s ankles. Longer ones may look prettier and more like the Kate Greenaway pictures, but they hinder the child's free movements and cause too many tumbies and tears for the slight difference to prove a com- pensation, Growing children need room to grow in. Give them plenty of it in thelr garments. With the shortening of the clothing gradual changes come in Sts patterns. The tiny skirts are buttaned onto tiny waists, the dresses lose their ‘princess’ shape, there are bits of aprons and real ehoes and stockings. Some mothers seem to fancy their babies have no more lungs than doll babies, At any rate they give them few ‘chances to fill these lungs with Letters, Questions and consider it his highest privilege an duty to make his wife happy and con- tented. A man shopid consider the sac- rifice a young woman makes in consent- ingto marry him.
