nd cold sidewalks by the usual roomy shoes. When in the go-cart instead
of his carriage, his legs should be well covered, so that dampness and
wind will not chill and give him a cold. A large bag having a draw-string
at the top is an excellent thing to use for the lower part of baby's body
while in the go-cart, and the strings should be drawn up and tied under
his arms. This bag may be made of any material (warm) from eiderdown,
cloth, flannel to felting; or it may simply be made of an old crib blanket
and a small carriage robe placed over it. Baby's ears should be covered at
this age on very cold days, when out. The baby girl should wear a lined
bonnet, well covering her eyes. Tam O'Shanter caps of angora wool can be
made and pulled down over the eyes for both girls and boys alike; or a
soft felt hat with rosettes of ribbon lined with flannel sewed onto the
elastic can be made for the boy to protect the head and ears.

By the time baby is two years old, diapers should be given up and little
drawers used instead. It may be frequently necessary to use diapers at
night for several months longer, although if the baby be taken up at ten
or eleven o'clock p. m. he will frequently go all night without urinating.

First Half of Third Year.--Children of this age should be put into
night-drawers, cotton ones in summer and flannel ones either with or
without feet, in winter. Tiny overalls or "rompers" are now used a good
deal for both boys and girls while at play.

Second Half of Third Year.--Now he can walk in the street for a little
while each day, even in winter, having his legs protected by warm leggings
and with small rubbers for his shoes when the walks are at all damp.
Woolen leggings should be used.

Children should not be allowed to race about in their night-drawers and
bare feet. They should also have little wrappers and bedroom slippers.

[ALL ABOUT BABY 557]

What About the Nursery? The furnishings should be very simple. No
unnecessary hangings or upholstered furniture. A large room, well
ventilated and one in which the sun shines at some part of the day. The
shades should be dark, but no extra hangings or curtains. Nothing should
be allowed about the baby's crib but what can be washed. The air should be
kept pure. There should be no plumbing, no drying of napkins or clothes,
no cooking of food, and no gas burning at night. A small wax candle will
do for all usual purposes.

What kind of heat is best? An open
