There was recently shown at the rooms of the Society of Decorative Art in New York, a crib cover which attracted great attention. The material was worked with silk, on white linen, the design, in outline, being several sleepy birds perched upon a branch, with a motto underneath, -

"Little babes which sleep all night, Laugh in the face of sorrow; Little birds which sleep all night Sing carols on the morrow."

By way of suggestion, it might be added that the design might be worked on some semi-transparent goods with a bright lining underneath.
