For the next few years treat your son as being more one of the "grown. upa" who will have to do his share in protecting Baby from harm, and in keeping her luppy.
Jealous of Baby
he is painfully jealous of the new baby.
I advise you to give him a cupboard where he can keep all his own things; but I should put an end to all this parcel-making, as there is something unpleasant about jealousy taken to such extremes.
Otherwise treat the whole altuation very calmly indeed and refuse to notice his attitude. Never let him hear you discussing with other adults.
Treat both children na impartisily na possible and see that the boy has his fale share of praise and reasonable Afpicasures, without giving the Impres

INCE days long gone by, names or initials in embroidery have always given personal possessions an Indi- vidual touch. Little girls used to work their name and the date at the foot of samplers; Grannie worked her initials in cross stitch, så fine that it could not be removed without cutting the Unen, an tablecloths'and 'phects'.
Nowadays we use initials as a decoration for hats and handbags, Jumpers and tennis frocks, as well as for marking underclothes and household linens..
Having your name on everything has its practical side. It identifies clothes beyond a doubt, which is specially useful if you happen to be one of a large family. I have seen sisters squabbling over the ownership of stockings and handkerchiefs when a mark on each would have saved all the argument, to say nothing of wear and lear on.mother's nerves.
Marking children's clothes is a good Arst step towards teaching them tidiness and a respect for each other's possessions.
At home it is a good idea, too, to provide each member of the family with a coat peg. for outdoor clothes, and a special peg for towels in the bathroom. Each peg could have the owner's name or inlilal on a label alongside.
Teachers appreciate it when kiddles" school belongings are marked. The name can be written in marking ink on narrow tape, or you can get specially woven names.
Theso are not expensive, and one should be attached to everything the child takes to school, such as

You may prefer to mark hand- kerchiefs with an embroidered initial or monogram, or a woven initial stitched in one corner on the wrong side of the hem. It does save 60 much trouble and argu- ment when you have to sort out handkerchiefs for a family,
Smart Monograms
Mentio
of monograms reminds me that embroidered "initials and mono- grams are very fashionable just now for table and bed linen and towela. You can work these yourself. They give a nice individual touch to a plain sheet or tablecloth. ·
Use fast colour mercerised cotton or linen embroidery thread for embroi-
dering sheets and pillow cases. On sheets the mono- gram is usually placed in the centre of the turned over top: it is repeated in a smaller size on the corner of each plilow ense.
The sketches will give you an idea of the modern monogram. The letters aro usually arranged to fit into a circle, square or oblong. You can try various ways of arranging the initial tetters of your own names on paper and working them into a monogram

Or you can arrange the letters in their proper order in step formation. each eng alightly overlapping the other. larger than the initial letters of the Christian name.
A colatred monogram on a white eheat is pretty, and you can work it solid in natin stitch or use a'fine cross stitch. Cross stitch looks well on faco towels, where the monogram can be worked into a cross stitch border, the monogram alone being repented on the bolder of the bath towel
Colour Schemes
Coloured sheets or towels with tho nonogram in a contrast will echo the colour scheme of the bedroom or bath- room. Pale yellow aheala with green monogram are one suggestion, and a blue or green monogram looks well on peach towels or sheets. On pale pink you could usa, a deeper shade of rose..
More unusual are scarlet or black monograms on pala yellow, navy blus on pink. algger brawn on pale green. Monograma on tablecloths and nap. kina usually look best embroidered in plain white. An idem for "marking these is to sign your name, using your ordinary signature, in tead peneli across the corner of the elöta and then embroider it in satin stitch.
The same method of marking is used for the napkins.
