LYDIA PINKHAM MAGINNIS President of the Colonial Daughters of the Dames of the Revolution How to Wash the Baby S a rule babies should be washed by hand. Machine-washed babies do not mature so rapidly, and being rubbed on a washboard is likely to weareholes in the baby. The baby should be put to soak over night in lukewarm water in which has been dissolved a handful of peatline, This takes the place of the old-fashioned way of leaving him in a wash-boiler on the stove fur three or four hours and saves much labor. In the morning, after rinsing in three waters, add a little ball blue to the last and pass the baby quickly through it, Too much bluing is apt to give the baby a faded look. We do not think that babies should be put through the wringer too soon after washing, Retter results are obtained by hanging them on the line at once, af it be a sunny day. Otherwise they may be hung up before the kitchen fire, and when thoroughly dry starched and ironed at your convenience, a Typewriters and Their Emplovers ANY a young girl who has entered on her career as a typewriter has through ignorance made mistakes which, if warned ia time, she would have avuided, ‘Typewriters should invariably be hind to their employers. It must be remembered that they are men after all, and that an occasional kind word will do much to lighten the cares of a busy day, You will add brightness to your surroundings if every day on your way to the office you stop at the florists’ and get a dozen or two American Beauties HOME JOLONEL. or a couple of bunches of violets to place on your desk. At the close of the day you can put a flower in your employer's buttonhole, This isa little attention which his wife will be bound to appreciate. Always hum a tune when at your work. Typewriting to a rag-time accompaniment lacks the monotony which is apt to bore your employer. If he is in the habit of swearing at your mistakes, do not rebuke him before the office boys as it might hurt his feelings. Find out when his birthday occurs and mark the event by giving him a bottle of champagne or a box of cigars. An employer always appreci- ates thoughtfulness on the part of his typewriter. Do not wear a décolleté gown in the office. You might catch culd, and your coughing would annoy your employer. If you will bear these little sugges- tions in mind, dear girls, you will not only be successful in business but much happier in your daily life. as Dainty Summer Dishes By Mra.
