This In pleasant bear ing. as, in addition to opening up a new employment for girls. It refutes the testimony of those who fitul much to criticise in the behavior of the weaker sex when undertaking so-called men's work. In many Instances women can, of course, prove astonishingly disoblig ing and ill-mannered, and one of their greatest transgressions in public offices is the irritating faculty they have for holding animated conversations with their co-workers when attending to the public needs. On the other hand, some men have manners that leave much to be desired. For the Children. For little girls up to eight years the most sensible frocks are those that may be laundered. These arc possible in winter as well as?4n summer, merely by having the child wear heavy under flannels, and there is great satisfaction in washable frocks. Some charmingly pretty heavy cotton cheviots are to be bought, in plain colors and stripes, which make very good play dresses. These same materials and khaki are the ones that it. is wisest to have for boys as well. Khaki especially, in its bright brown shade, is very serviceable for hard wear. Small shepherd plaids and tartans are pretty for little girls and for kilts or pleated frocks for small hoys. A washable, detachable sailor collar is a wise ornament for almost any little child's dress, as it adds much to the effect of the costume.? Harper's Bazar. What the llnby Should Weigh. The baby of normal weight tips the scales down ?t hlrtli nt the seven pound mark. If iie or she is much heavier or much lighter, he or she Is nt odds with the overage. A pe culiar feature of baby weight Is that during the first days of ita life the youngster? that is, the perfectly nor mal youngster? loses one pound. Thus, exaiu luntlon made on the second and fourth day will show- a weight of si:; pounds only. But after Hie tirst week, at the end of which time the lost I pound should be regained, there is a steady advance. Ten pounds should have been reached by the time the baby is eight weeks old, and when it is twenty weeks old the weight should be fourteen pounds. At seven months the figure should be sixteen pound?*, and the year-old buby should have r. mark of twciily-onc pounds to ils credit. Fashions For I-:id*rly Women. As to color*, a negative answer would Usually be best when this question conies up. The old belief that black and gray made a woman look haggard when the flush of youlh had left her face and the gray had streaked her hair, hns been discarded with many other outworn Ideas, and It is now an accepted fact that the soft shades of gray are the only colors that an elderly woman should wear. . That black best becomes many older women Is well, because so utility, while perhaps not wealing deep mourning, are yet so In the habit of having black gowns during many years that they never "feel right" in color.*. There are In these days so many varieties of black that there need be no monotony, and even an all-black gown need not be sombre. Trimmings of lace and braid mid passementerie are always appro priate for elderly women, the hand somer the better. The loose coats in three-quarter length are a style that i< particularly kind to the older women, disguising as they do any awkwardness of llgurc. and giving place for the use of hand some trimmings of fur and lace.? Har per's Bazar. I'IMioitft In .Mllttucry. It Is needless to insist more slrongl' en the Immense use which is made of ribbons. They suffice as a trimming for many <|iiMe smart hats.

It is folded round tbe crown and tben tied lu a large double bow, some of the loops having the moire side uppermost, and others the sstln. A similar bow, with the loops drawn out longer, is placed under the brim on the left side. Tb? K*rly FMdiBg mt Children. "I can cure your children when they are sick, but what I want Is to teach you to keep them well." These were the words which my good doctor used when my childreu werp little. His tender interest augmented my natural desire to study how best to make and keep thein well. When they were a year old I took away tbe bottle, which they had had six times daily? from 0 until 0 at night. With this change It reduced tbe meals to four a day? at tbe hours 0, 10, 2 and 6. The morning meal consisted of mush, and warmed milk to drink, warming it by placing the cups in hot water. At 2 came their dinner of baked potatoes mixed with butter and bccf-jnice. warm milk and orange-juice. This meal was varied by giving veal soup with vegetables in it. lanib or chicken broth with rice or eggs, cooked by ponriug boiling water over them twice. To vary the fruits I gave steamed or scrapcd apple, stewed prunes, stewed or raw pears. At 6 o'clock zwelbach and milk, with more warmed milk. When at the third year they did not need such frequent feeding, I added to the breakfasts steamed apples and varied the dinners with beefsteak, lamb chops, boiled rice aud a green vegetable with the simpler puddings, which had no lemon in thein. I retained the suppers, add ing bread and butter. Pure candy is not injurious if given at meal-time in moderation.

They browned and buttered the toast, setting it aside to keep hot while they heated and stirred smoothly together over the fire one tableepoonful each of flour and butter and one-quarter tea spoonful of salt to each cup of milk. The hot milk was added and all cooked to a smooth, slightly thickened cream. Then the slices of toast were bathed In the liquid long enough to . soften them, before the whole was dished and sent in to the table. This, it may be repeated, is the best way, but. If the milk is rather limited, nn allowable variation is to add a pinch of salt to each slice of toast, pour boiling water quickly over, and then replace it with the hot. thickened milk 011 the platter on which it is to be served.

De Lancey N I coil's most recent ex planation of hia retirement from the post of district attorney of New York county in 1894 came under the eyo of James W. Osborne, who was his opponent in the criminal libel proceed ings involving Amor; and the Metro politan Street Railway company. "I had tired of sending men to jail, and wished to try another branch of the profession." "Guess that's about right," observed Osborne. "The first half of Nlcoll's career was spent In getting scoundrels into prison. The last halt is spent in keeping them out." Responsibility Fixed. I The New York Mail has finally fixed j the responsibility for the baldhoadcd tneea of tlie men of this generation, the Watertown Tlmeu-Standard states. It la the nightcap that did the mis chief, and while it did not make the generation that wore it baldlieaded. it weakened the hair producing organs and subsequent generations have 'nad to pay for the same. That is Tho New York Mail's explanation. It is just as good as any. Still the niusi- 1 clan's explanation given a short time ago, that baldheadcdness was caused by antagonistic vibrations of certain tunes, is rather better, because It ap pears so much moro scientific and gives range for wider speculation.
