The Baby's Layette.
QEvery one has a different idea of
v hat the wardrobe for the little baby
should consist. The babies themselves
a.re pretty much alike in their re-
remeats, and -> > It seems that they
might be governed by one simple
rule.
The foundation is generally the
same, but the variations are found in
different forms of elaboration and ex-
pense. in this article I want to tell
what is necessary to make the baby
comfortable, and how to arrange it.
V'e will begin with the bands—the
A Good Word for Prunes.
The fact, stated the other day by a
contemporary iu a letter to the

Children'. Cloth..
Children's clothes promise to be par-
ticularly pretty this year, and never
have the styles been more successful
with the "awkward age"—that very
difficult period when girls are apt to
be either tall and "gawkv," or stout
and shapeless. Happily, just now the
fashions allow for adaptation to either
condition, and both defects may be
made unnoticoable by a judicious
choice of material and patterns. For
thin children, for instance, the belted
waist aud flaring ruttle over the hips is
particularly becoming, while it pro-
duces a most awkward effect 011 a
child with a big waist, or one who is
inclined to be stout For the latter,
the empire effects are particularly
good, for nothing accentuates stout-
ness so ' much as a snSoothly fitting
tight garment of any kind, whether on
a woman or a child. Gathered waists,
too, look well on stout girls. A gath-
ered waist with a narrow belt, a |
loosely fitting bell-skirt and ruffled j
bertha, with sleeves draped at the top |
and fitting tight below.the elbow, will j
balance an awkwardly stout girl, so to 1
speak, aud render her big waist and j
stomach almost unnoticeable. Of |
course, thin young girls have the ad-
vantage, and can wear almost any
style, but it should be remembered
that the gored skirt and tight sleeve
may make them look angular.

The lines of the confronting forces
' at the cratec front were about 170
I yurds apart, and so accurate were the
sharpshooters that a hat raised on
ramrod ever so slight!} above the
I crest of the parapet was sure to be
soon perforated with balls. Indeed,
I ceaseless vigilance was the only guar-
antee against injury at any point
along these lines, and, incredible as
I it may seem, it is nevertheless true
that soldiers facing to the front and
I with the earthworks bet ween the en*
cm v and themselves, were frequently
I >truek in the back by the bullets just
grazing the edge of the parapet in
passing over with downward inclina-
| tion, striking some hard substance be-
hind and glancing diagonally forward.
Hence there was not always discredit
: iu being wounded in the back while
serving in these trenches.
Danger became of such hourly oc-
i eurrenco that its presence made it joc-
ular with the soldiers. When a broad-
side would issue from a Federal bal-
| tery and the heavy missiles come
j hurtling toward our works, the cry
"More bread" would go up from the
near-by soldiers, which meant that as
soon as night or a tlag of truce allowe i
the fragments of metal would be ex-
changed for fresh bread with the junk
dealer and baker from Petersburg;
and these loaves were indeed a relief
from the monotony of hard-tack an 1
coarse corn meal, called "grits," and
often sour. Blue and Gray.
