During the hot weather, a bath morning and night is desirable. If the day is very hot, a cool sponge in the middie of the day will help to keep the baby comfortable and sweet. _ Feedings should, of course, be given with regularity.

The steady increase in the number of hikers in seen by Walsh as a revolt against modern industrial conditions, the workers fleeing to the country during the weekâ€"end to escape the noise of the city, The popularty of hiking, it is said, also has brought a better understanding between the villager and the city worker.

The summer was past, the autumn was comée; the propictario and his sister were relaxâ€" ing their offorts at making many Spanâ€" iards happy. Excellent hosts as they were, they must now have concern that the "Americana" should be "conâ€" tento" while she remained as their guest. On the morning of an especially golden day, as I had breakfast on the terrace, I looked out from time to time to find the line of turquoise sea shinâ€" ing bright; or held my breath at sight of a small fishing boat tacking her way through a boisterous channel into thhe outer sea. Then, carly as it was, the propie~ tario appeared to say "Buenos dias" with such buoyancy of tona and lightâ€" ness of step that I imagined exciting events must be near; for although he could uot explain in my language, there is "axv:"euy translation â€"to be made by smiling oyos and poised gayety. 1 kivaidegs it( c ic ied BCR CCC C So it was that I noted the arrival of larga hampers of food, especially of chickens, being brought in by smiling womon. At lunch time, there were two waiters in the pantry instead of one, and a qulet stir pervaded the place. During the afternoon there were gay arrivals of relatives, making agreo able conversation in the lounge. One larze senor spoke in the bass voice of the robust, overtoning that of the propietario, who was a little man and used a low, grave tone. Though I knew that there was an uCâ€" casion imminont, I did not guess its significance.

Babies become thirstior during hot weather just as adults do, and â€"will take considerably more water than usual. _ Unsweetened boiled . water, cooled, should be kept on hand for them at all times. On hot days the baby should be kept in a shady spot and not be exposed to the sun excepting in the carly mornâ€" ing and late afternoon. On mild days, of course, he should have all the sunshine he can comfortâ€" ably stand. Because sunshine has the life and health giving qualities that caunot be had from any other source.

Not only have recruits been so numâ€" erous that the officers were able to pick and choose at will, but the standâ€" ard has been the highest ever known. Though the legion asks no questions which might embarrass the voluniser, it is believed that Germans, who once were most numerous in the ranks of the first two companies, have now been replaced by Angloâ€"Saxons, * propriately perhaps, in a Spanish lace frock and highâ€"heeled slippers, Comâ€" ing down the stairway into the lounge, I found the family assembled, cereâ€" moniously quiet, indulging only in low murmurs of talk. In its midst I saw a tall, slender ma&h young, handsome, dark, obviously Spanish, standing by the propietario, who bent his head well back to look into the youth‘s smiling eyes. As they came toward me, such pride ; illumined the face of the older man] that, before the ceromony of presenâ€" | tation was complete, 1 had compreâ€" hended that I saw before me the son of the house. His wellâ€"fitting tan uniâ€" form explained him as a Spanish solâ€" dier, returned from his year‘s training. As he responded to the greeting of the Americana in excellent En;lisb” ;tho admiration of the circle of relaâ€" tives know no bounds. Then, as I went along the gayly lighted dining room lto my seat in the corner, I passed the flowerâ€"decked family table, the white jacketed | waiters standing by, onâ€" tranced by the glory of their young master. I pulled out my own chair, ‘qulte unaided by the usually hovering \ waiter.

An old couple lived in a quaint simple little cottage on a quiet street alone. They had raised a fine Chrisâ€" tian family who had all flown from the parental nest, and among them was one son now who had become wealthy, and he wanted to do someâ€" thing nice for his old parents back home. It was decided to surprise them by. building a modern home big enough for two, and it was to be a model of comfort. "Mother likes to do her own work, and Pa likes to tinker around, and we can‘t stop them," said the children. _ "But we‘ll make the work as casy as we can for them since they will not come to live with us." All the children planned the house.. ; What one did not think of, the others| did, and the day came when it was all ; finished. Even the big wise old cat! was brought over to make it 1ook]' homey for the old couple before the big secret was disclosed. ‘ "Why, mother, you will hardly need to do a thing with a‘il these wonderâ€" ful electric brownies to do your work," exclaimed one of the children. In amazement the old couple looked at everything: the electric dishâ€"washâ€" er, the washing machine, the sil furâ€" nace, the iron, the vacuum cleaner. It was all indeed very marvellous. Even puss padded around on an interested tour of inspection. The family stayed to supper and washed the dishes miraculously in the new dishâ€"washer. "You will only need to wash them once a day to make it worth while, Mother. Doesn‘t it work beautifully?" said the girls delightâ€" edly. The oil furnace and the electric washer in the cellar and other appliâ€" ances were carefully explained and tried, and soon mother and father were settled proudly in their new home, the gift of their son. They were alone again; mother, waited till after the evening meal to : wash all the dishes of the accumulaâ€"] tion. "I like to do them after each ‘ meal, but I guess it‘s alright," she thought. l Carefully she put in the dishes and vwhen all was ready, turned on the water. "Surely something must he wrong to make such a noise," she said excitedly, for immediately there was a clatter and swishing very difâ€" ferent from from the night before when the girls were There. Hastily turning off the water she opened the lid. â€"There lay all the dishes, nearly every one. broken. ";«Vo'h,fili., what have 1 done?" she cried. ination :‘Viel\, now, look here, doesn‘t this go somewhere?" _ And on the table was the rack sho| had forgotten to pat in.

Then the lid was pressâ€" ed down and carefully the power turned on. "Tha‘s going alright, L think," said Pa, but soon a peculiar yowling sound came from the inside of the tub as the motor hummed. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO "What‘s that noise?" They both listened, puzzled,. "And it‘s getting worse," â€" Then ® suddenly Pa said, "That don‘t sound like no machinery to me. Where‘s Samantha®" Unaccustomed to the switch they as quickly as possible turned off the power and opened the lid. Yes, it was the cat. She jumped out, swayed barck and forth, groggy from the experiâ€" ence, then, coming to life, she lookesd at them reproachf{ully and sudden‘y Pa ran out and made a hasty examâ€" disappeared back door. 0 All at ance something rushed over, jumped on Mamma Lady‘s lap and actually grabbed a kitty and was off before anybody could say "Jack Robâ€" inson."

The case of Trader Horn, whose death was reported from England recently, was probably unique. A wanderer and an adventurer all his days, he would probably never have come beâ€" fore the notice of the public but for the perspicacity of a South African novelist, who was struck by his apâ€" pearance and conversation and who persuaded him to write down his ex« periences which she in turn edited. The result was a book so amazing in variety, in color and in type of adâ€" venture on the West Coast and interâ€" clubs some for which it depicted, that even exâ€" perienced critics said it must be a work of imagination. n t But Trader Horn was able to verify a great deal of his detail, though he had to rely upon rumor for corroboraâ€" tion of his tale about the beautiful white goddess, which many people thought he had "borrowed" from Rider Haggard. He certainly entertained a large section of the veading public for two or three years, and many of }hi; earlier critics came round to beâ€" lieve that he was, after all, largely what he represented himself to be. Eminent British authors like Galsâ€" worthy had implicit faith in him.

Stephen Gwynn in the Fortnight‘ly Review (London): It is said of the new Viceroy that he is ;“color-blind" â€"a great qualification for his forâ€" midable task, If he can make Indians feel that he is without that sense uf innate and "a. priori" superiority which most Englishmen feel when dealing with races of a different pigâ€" mentation, he may conceivahly induce Hindu and Moslem to find in him the necessary arbiter of their differences, This is much to hope, but not imposâ€" sibleâ€"as it would have been with Lord Curzon, for instance, in the same place, who would never have got away from the feeling that he had a right to impose his views, not because it was impartial, but because it came from above. .
