BATHING THE BABE HINTS FOR THE YOUNG MOTHER In the early days, when the babe is bathed both morning and evening, a large basin is sometimes made to serve the purpose. This is really a big mistake. It is essential that the bath should be deep enough tor Baby to be submerged to the shoulders. Basin-bathing accounts for many chills, and for the infantile anti-bath complex! Baby is bitterly resentful of a mere dab in a basin. Soft, comfy, and ideal for the tiny house or flat is the waterproof bath that is slung on folding stands, much on the principle of a camp stool. It takes up next to no room when it is not in use. Or, if you prefer a more orthodox type, there are any number of attractive little baths at your disposal; though even these are far better mounted on a stand, since stooping can then he avoided. Another useful item is a bath thermometer, since there are rules to be observed in respect of the right temi perature, which should be from 98 to | 100 degrees for the newborn babe, th ! heat being gradually reduced, after | the first two weeks, till it is from 92 i to 95 degrees Fah. —that is to say, just pleasantly warm. Then, especially in warm weather, the morning hath can be gradually cooled down still more, till at three or foul- months old the babe can be “tubbed” quite safely, if in normal health, at a temperature of only SO deg. Fah. But be sure than the babe is not subnormal and that he does not appear cold. Otherwise it is a most excellent thing to accustom him, bit by bit, to the cooi water. It is invigorating and strengthening, and leads up gradually to the time when the evening bath is the only warm one and a cool sponge takes its place in the morning. After three months, provided the necessary care is exercised, there is nothing to be said against the use of the big bath, which the babe will love! And he will get accustomed in this way to the gradual increase of the water's depth. Soap really suited to baby’s sensitive skin is another essential; and it is impossible to be too particular about this. Unless you use your hands for soaping, lint is the best thing. The sponge should not come in contact with the soap. And lint, besides being beautifully soft, can be kept really clean by boiling. Use soft towels, too, for drying—rather patting, for the skin must not be rubbed. Lastly, don’t overdo the powdering. Old-fashioned fuller’s earth—white —is j still the best for a baby. AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY Miss Helen Rea, a chemistry student at Rockford College, U.S.A., has roused the Interest of scientists by the discovery that ethylene gas will convert starch into glucose sugar. It is considered that this will prove of the greatest importance if the cost is found cheaper than the present method, which is to boil the starch with a small percentage of acid. Pieces of old net curtains or similar material make excellent food-cloths for wrapping around fish that is to be steamed or boiled, and also tu use when reheating puddings or stale cake.

From the shoulders of her picturesque gown fell a graceful train, lightly trimmed with sprays of orange blossom, which fragant flowers also appeared in a double chaplet to keep in place the bride’s misty veil of brussels net. A sheaf of exquisite roses completed a delightful ensemble.

Three maids formed the bride’s retinue, the ankle-length frocks of pastel toning blending into a charming background for the white-clad bride. They were the Misses Anna Wynyard, Ava Johnston, Wilma Plummer and their frocks were fashioned of taffeta frilled net in shades of powder blue, primrose and rose du barri respectively. Each maid had a large bow of silver tissue deftly attached to one side of her gown, and they all wore quaint little silver caps prettily trimmed with flowers. Their bouquets were demure affairs of Victorian kind, composed of closely-massed flowers to tone with their frocks.

HOME-MADE GALANTINE Almost any kind of cold meat o: poultry may be used for this galantine, which makes a good luncheon dish 01 j provides savoury fillings for sand j wishes, but veal, beef and bacon will be found as appetising as anything. Remove skin and sinew from about three-quarters of a pound each of con veal and beef and the same quantity i of rather fat bacon; put the meai j twice through the mincer, and then add to it half a pound of fine breadcrumbs, one tablespoonful each of chopped gherkins, onion and parsley, and a teaspoonful of mixed spice; j season with pepper and salt and a suspicion of made mustard. Beat well together and then add piquant sauce to taste, making the mixture sufficiently moist to roll by the addition of beaten egg mixed with a little stocl or water to which meat extract h been added. Make it into a roll, wrap in grease-proof paper, tie in a cloth and steam for two hours. Take up, press the roll between two dishes with weights on top and allow to become quite cold. If the galatine is to be served for luncheon brush it over with glaze. | To obtain the best result from the i use of vanishing cream, place a very i small quantity in the palm of the sand | and moisten with one or two drops of I skin lotion or water (preferably rain- ! water). Work the moisture into *he ! cream and apply lightly to the face.

DIAMANTE TRIMMINGS FOR HOME-MADE DRESSES Diamante is admirable for trim* ruing a simple home-made evening gown, but it is important to see that it simulates jewellery if the best Slid most up-to-date effect is to be achieved. A dinner gown of midnight blue georgette, made with sleeves reaching to the knuckles in the Sarah Bernhardt manner, has at least ten rows ol narrow diamante sewn round the right sleeve, while the left one is devoid of all ornament. The rows suggest a collection of bangles, and spl«Tididly do they throw into relief the deep blue of the gown. A diamante “dog-collar"* is a elty for wear with a high-throati evening gown of black chiffon. Tno is quite an easy model for the amaten to copy, since the one-piece frock of the simplest cut, and, save f° r circular flounce that trims the 8 is kept without elaboration in to emphasise the originality oi neck treatment. If the bodice calls for diamante trimming it must be applied ' form of a long necklace with • ant worked directly on to /“VT ! teriai.
