“Evening How to Keep Baby Com- fortable in Summer Do Not Overfeed—Keep the Little One Quiet and ' Judge of Its Clothing by How Warm You Are Yourself. HERE is no reason why baby should not be perfectly com- fortable during the hot weather. Special care must be given to the feeding, clothing, airing and bath, and it is of paramount importance that the child be kept quiet. On hot days a baby should be kept in its ie erib in the coolest available place. It should not be handled nor excited by being played with. A child requires absolute quiet during the hot weather and no excitement should be allowed to tax the young brain, ‘Three or four sponge baths should be given in the course of @ hot day. The water should be the temperature of the body, and if @ teaspoonful of soda or salt is added to every pint of water it will be found more soothing. Overfeeding is the cause of much of the digestive disturbance in young children and mother cannot be too strongly urged to avoid overfeeding and not to feed too often. The latter is especially hard to combat, as the first impulse to check baby’s cries seems to be feeding, but babies have many other causes for erying, and the wise mother will endeavor to understand the various cries, for there is quite @ difference in these, and every cry has a reason of its own. Even a tiny infant does not require feeding oftener than once in three bours. At five months tho four hour interval should gradually be estab- lished. At seven months an interval of five hours should be satisfying. A nursing baby should take its food slowly, and twenty minutes is the usual allowance for each feeding. A jow diet at regular intervals is es- pecially important in hot weather to avoid the |dangerous infantile diarrhea. | Many case of indigestion in ba. bies hasbeen caused by over-clothing. Why babies should wear long-sleeved woollen shirts and flannel bands and high woollen stockings when mother must have low-neok, sleeveless silk vests and the sheerest hosiery to keep comfortable is unexplainable. The heavy shirts and woollen bands over- heat the little body and in hot weather are liable to cause stomach troubles. ‘There is no reason why a baby shoald not wear the lightest weight cash- mere shirts with low neck and short sleeves, and if the mother will feel more satisfied to have baby wear the band, let this at least be of the knit variety and lightest weight, If the child te kept in the it fs only necessary to put on a”Blip over the shirt and napkin, and when taken out one petticoat, which should fall loosely from the shoulders, is suffi- cient. A good rule for the mother is to gauge baby’s clothing by her own requirementa, If she needa a cool muslin gown to keep comfortable, her baby surely need not be swathed in heavy woollens, On hot days the baby should be kept on the bed or crib, which is ex- cluded from draughts, withoat a dress on, and left to kick at to heart's content. It will be an enjoyment to the little one and an excellent exer- cise for developing muscle, It it falls leep a light sheet will be ample covering. A baby should be in the open air every day after 6 P. M. on these hot days, Do not neglect the slightest symptoms of indisposition. Digestive disturbances especially de- velop rapidly in the infant, and a physician should be consulted with- out delay. The hospitals and dis- pensaries are at the disposal of those who cannot afford the private physi- clan, so there is no excuse for neg- lect. Glimpses Into New York Shops EORGETTE, net and organdy have been chosen for the _ graduation gown this year and they will take the place of the silk and lace frocks for dances and other dressy affairs, The shops are showing exquisite models in thes: Tulle is the favorite for the smart touch of the toilet now. Clouds of it are worn about the neck. The} veils are tied at the back of the neck and finished with a large bow of it. Butterfly bows of tulle adorn the Teft shoulder of decollete evening dresses and streamer ends flow to the bottom of the train. ‘The now skirts of knitted silk are finding favor. They are suggested for sport wear, but they make a practical skirt for general wear. "They come in white and various printed colors. One in white and victory red stripes is striking but Very pretty.
