Children Should Have
Regular Wading Suits

The difficulty Of keeping a young
family tidy during a visit to the sea
side must present itself TO many
harassed mothers. If some considera-
ton is given beforehand to the chill
drens requirements, it may save taking
the enormous amount of washing
clothes, so often thought necessary.
At a fashionable resort certain smart
habiliments must be donned on occa-
sions. but the morning, at least, is al
ways spent happily on the sands. The

u was not considered good form two
decades ago for q woman 70 have a
healthy appetite. At a dinner party she
played with her food delicately and ate

in the pantry when she satisfied her

Must ADJUST Weight
To Walk With Grace

The first essential Of graceful walk
ing is poise The weight Of the body
must be adjusted over the balls Of the
feet In correct poise. the chest always
leads, the abdomen recedes. the back
and head assume their right positions
II goes without saying that there can
be no grace IN hasty walk Haste
causes irregular and uncertain move
ments OF all portions Of the body, de-
tracts fro>a womans dignity, and
makes rhythm impossible.
Activity and right use Of the feet
are the second essential of a graceful
walk. The feet have a double duty to
perform-in bearing the weight and pro-
polling the body When the stand
ing position is right, one leg Is
swung forward from the nip, the knee
acting IN harmony, and the ball Of the
foot touching first The weight is so
quickly transferred that the heel makes
no noise. Women who walk heavily
leave the weight on the heel and are
never graceful. The general saying
that one should walk on the balls Of
the feet" has led some people to try
not touching the heel at all The re-
suit is a mincing gait wholly without
dignity or grace,
The position Of the feet should be
straight. The weight Of the body being
on one foot while the other is swinging
forward, the strongest position Of the
foot should be taken, which is practic-
ally straight. AS children are always
taught tn turn their toes out" this
will surprise many.
The carriage OF the shoulders Is an
important element in graceful walking
Nervousness, scif-cCnsciousness and
haste sho win stiffness of the shoulders

Caring For Hair of An LrUaLm

loOsened by the teeth Of the comb at its

If a knot is Ioosened by the teeth of
the comb inserted into the outer edges
and shaken gently, the hairs uncoil and
spring back into the rightful position.
A little skill and a little patience will
teach person how TO diSentangle any
snarls with speed and ease.
When each division of the hair has
been gently cOmbed out, and separated
from those that are uncombed all the
hair should be drawn back over the
shoulders and the comb gently run
through II from forehead to ends.
II the patient remains in bed. the hair
should be again parted down the center
and softly braided into two plafts which
have the ends turned under and secure
ly tied with baby ribbon
And one should be sure not 20 make
these plaits too tight They should not
start at the roots of the hair, for this
causes a constant pull on the scalp
which results in soreness or headache.

In every ones life there comes the
work Of having TO comb or disentangle

is not an easy task. It requires patience
and a good deal of knowledge.
Those who have never done the work
may be glad 20 stow away in their
memory these facts: That knots in the

In smoothing and eombing a sick per-
sons hair the first work is to part it

brush the two divisions well away from
each other.
The hair should be separated by the
comb into small divisions, one at time
