When the long -expected, little pink bundle arrives that is to upset the whole routine .of the house, he should linci everything in readiness for him. I always found it a good idea to begin planning the wardrobe early,- so that I would riot be rushed at the last min- ute even by minor deLaile. Even baby clothes have fads, and at present the dresses are made about twenty inches long. These never have to be short- ened and they do simplify the care of the baby a great deal. After alb the long dresses were only for thow and . to keep the feet warm—and there are nice softewool hose and the eunningest kin& of bootees to do that now. Another nice little fad in _dressing infants at the present time is ta put tapes on the dressee, tapes on the shirts, and tapes on the band. Every- thing ties which was pinned hereto- fore. Tide is a very good idea too, if the garments are made to fit properly. Machine hemstitching is popular as a trimming on the little dresses and Is not expeneive. Of course all kinds • of handwork that are not too elabor- ate are alwaya in good 'taste on baby garments. Care is always observed so that^no harsh trimminge are used ebout the -neck and wristbands, where they might chafe the delicate skin. A goad list of the necessary articles needed for an infant is given here- with: Three shirt, three dozen diallers, outdoor wrapa, three gowns, three pairs of hose, four bands, three baby blankets, four plain slim three flannel skirts and three , pain of bbotees, , The shirte Should be of wool or Part wool for 'winter, and of silk or cotton for summer. All wool is very hard to wash. One can bug the knit bands, or the first bands • can be *straight strips of soft cloth abott twenty -sig inches by five inches, and can be replaced by the knit bands with shoulder straps at about three weeks. The hos for winter are better of wool, and ref cotton or silk for sum- mer. About the moat satisfectory wrap for winter is -the baby bunting, and a cashmere coat doee nicely for summer.

So small,. however, is the .aineutit a warmth impatted to our world from the nearest star that it would take 1,000,040,000,000 years for it to boil a pint a water. The heat felt is about equal to that of a candle burning fifty-three miles away. The heat of the stars is'mea- eared with an instrument called a thermocouple, whicti consists of two pieces of Wire eoldered bogether to make a Miele.

Then he had gone back to the hotel and discovered Uncle John. He handed the racquet to the lift boy and walked straight down through the terraced gardens to the Strada Romana. His feet were taking hint in the direction of the English tea-gatdens. Ile walked Molt slowly and presently there hove into view, coming towards him, a curious little procetetion. At its head walked—or strode magnificently—the, farmer, Hector Augusttts Gaunt, in tweed knickerbockers with a grey flannel shirt open at the neck, and an old, dis- colored panama on his head. Then came two mules heavily laden with sacks of provisiens, and last plodded the old, old woman of the farm, bare- footed, carrying her -Shoes, and' with an immente butden of empty floterer baekets on her head, Undoubtedly they had beet to Ventimiglia for the meet ket and were' returning with the week's supplies.
