Banish Tears.—Banish the tears of children; continual rains upon the blossoms are hurtful.—Jean Paul Richter.
Folding Bathtub.—The thing most desired by a young mother in these days is a bathtub for the baby made of sheet rubber that is attached to a campstool foundation. It can be folded up and put out of the way when not in use, and it telescopes into a small bundle when one wants to travel.
Flowers.—Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.—Henry Ward Beecher.
Correct Length of Clothes.—In making long clothes for the baby it is well to remember that the correct length for long dresses is one yard from the shoulder to the hem. The petticoats should be made the same lengths as the dresses, or perhaps a half inch shorter.
Life.—A pendulum betwixt a smile and tear.—Byron.
