The Baby’s Bed.

For a young baby’s bed nothing is is prettier than the wicker bassinet, trimmed with muslin and lace and with a canopy to match, writes Elisabeth Robinson Scovil in a valuable article on ‘‘Furnishing the Nursery” in the November Ladies’ Home Journal. However, the muslin adornments soon loose their crispness and it is better to purchase a rattan or iron erib which can be used until the child is no longer a baby. These can be obtained with a frame or rod from which to suspend curtains of China silk or some pretty washing material, held in place with bows of ribbon to match the color of the room. Iron cribs painted in white and gold, or white with brass knobs and finishings, are very effective.
