THE VACATION PROBLEM

The stay-at-home wife who does not
condemn her husband to the disconl-
forts Of a shut-up house and the posi-
BILE comforts Of restaurants and clubs
during the summer is, of course, praise
worthy.
But when her wifely solicitude con-
dennis her children to the dusty streets,
vitiated air, baking asphalt and other
delights Of city life in summer, her
course is less commendable.
All parents who can afford it, even
by considerable sacrifice in other lines,
should see to it that their children
have the large freedom Of fields and
woods, the tonic Of the sea or piny air
and blessed influence Of the sun. .zs
When an extended vacation is not
possible, the mother Of the family may
arrange all-day picnic trips, which will
prove not bad substitute. 6

A LAW FOR MOTHERS

M OTHERS should never take their infants to bed
Iva with them. Nothing could be perous than for
healthy young woman to sleep side by side with
little helpless babe. In Austria this peril is recog-
nized, and Austrian mother sleeps with her baby
she is sent to prison for 1t.
The law prohibiting babes and their mothers from
sleeping together enacted in Austria at the end
of year wherein less than 1000 mothers in their
sleep, rolling on their babies, killed them.
Such law should be enacted in America Every
physician, every coroner knows of many tragedies Of
this kind. The tragedies, a rule, are not made
public out Of pity for the feelings Of the mother.
Perhaps 1t would be better il they made public
Then the danger Of mothers and babies sleeping 10

Why Should She Make Her Own Clothes?
BY POLLY PENN,

An over-zealous college president has
said that no woman is properly edu-
Gated until she can trim her own hats
and make her own clothes.
Why could she not have said with
equal reason that no man is completely
educated until he can cut out a stylish
pair Of trousers or put new half-sole
on his shoes? T.
Because men are too busy doing
other things which they can do better
There was time when each man was
responsible for his own wardrobe. It
was very inconsequential attire-a
ragged animal skin, hairy coat, and
by-and.by, maybe, pair Of sandals,
which he easily knocked up for himself.
But long before the time when he ar
rived at patent feathers and dress coats,
civilization had brought about differ
entiation of labor. The man who could
make shoes best was making them for
all the community; and the man who
could expound law or theology busted
himself with that, like wise soul, and
paid somebody else to make his clothes.
You do not catch man sitting up
late at night to put the last painful
stitches in his new coat. He never goes

Men are not such fools. It is only
women who wear out their nerves and
strength in this way.

still so largely obtains that they arc
shockingly lacking in woman ability

and hats. The tradition from which
men are free still binds them.

TO REPAIR BOOKS

When books have come out Of their
covers, they may be made to look like

!, Take the old lining of the back by
sponging 1t with warm, damp sponge,
and remove as much as possible Of the

colored paper large enough to fit over
the back Of the book, and to make, as
it We're, an extra page at each end.
Paste this down the middle, and
fasten it to the back Of the book. Rub
some thin glue over the back and leave
it to dry.
Get some soft calico or muslin and
cut it as long as the book and two
inches broader. Glue this down to
the back and see that it is exactly in
the middle. - <sr..j..-.. 49,. ......

and remove any ragged scraps Of

each cover. Smooth and press them
down well, put the book under heavy
weight and leave till dry. .s..

BRIDGE CHARMS

OF the many things unpleasant that
are charged to bridge whist the latest
lis an increase in superstition in the
world. The argument is that wherever
the gambling craze exists superstition
must possess it's votaries. It is true
that belief in the efficiency Of charms
is growing common among bridge devo.
tees and is keeping the jewellers busy
getting them. All sorts Of odd things
are fancied, from jade frogs to ele-
plants carved in ivory. It is consoling
to note that this craze is not confined
to the gentler sex, lordly man being its
slave equally with womankind.

TO KEEP A sIIAPELY FIGURE

A woman who leads a very active
life has a theory that the preservation
of good figure depends to some ex-
tent on the manner of walking. Many
people, she says, as they advance in
years, allow themselves to walk heavily
and without elasticity, SO that the
whole weight rests on the lower part
Of the limbs at every step, the only
effect of exercise being WEAKNESS in the
legs and feet. Instead of this, the body
should be held erect and poised 50 as
to have O. perfect balance; in this way
the muscles are braced and strengthen
ed thruout, and the lungs must Of ne
cesslty be well expanded.
