before, and the triumph OF the season is
the filmy cloak of chiffon, net or lace,
usually without lining other than another
tone of chiffon. The seasons yelling ma
MIA is reflected in these diaphanOus sum
mer cloaks, and here as in the chic
frocks exquisite color harmonies are OBJ
tanned through supervising one sheer lay
er upon another of contrasting tone.
Sometimes, however, the cloak is of one
tone, the color contrast being left to the
frock worn under it. Sheer black or
white is often exquisite when a cOlored
frock glows softly through its yelling
folds, and the same is true of some of
the neutral tones such as the popular
pinkish beige, sand color and the grays
Exquisitely embroidered collars of fine
linen are modish for wear with the
low cut coats and are distinctly becom-
ing, especially when the blouse, as is so
often the case, is collarless. The hard line
of the coat collar against a bare throat
is unbecoming, and a lingerie collar if
fine and dainty improves the effect won
derfully. The plated frill collar is pref
ty and becoming too, and is much worn
with the tailored coat.
Embroidered pique collar and cuff sets
for the coats are practical and smart, II
not so dainty and becoming as the finer
sets of linen

Coarse blue linen frocks, embroidered
with blue aud coral silk, are made for
young girls.
All sorts of odd little shoulder capes or
| wraps draped in chiffon, lace, satin. etc,
are being exploited by the French de
sgners. but usually en- suite with frocks.
| Oddly enough, Directoire modes, supposed

and frock details. Directoire coats with
revers, shoulder capes and waist line

| The stockings this summer are in most
cases two-toned, matching the costume
or in contrasting color
WEAVING should begin when the baby
is 8 or 10 months old, unless there Is
some excellent reason to the contrary.
At first one or two bottles day may be
substituted for the mothers milk, then

weaving is complete. This process may
take, when necessary, but a week. and
may, with advantage in many cases. eX

If the mothers milk diSagrees with the
| child, and if reasonable effort TO improve
the quality or to make up for quantity by
the addition of other foods fails. the child
should be weaned. regardless of age. II

and weeks of infancy. \ child should

arises.
The eight incisor teeth which should
be in evidence at the end of the first

consequently, it is wise then to let the

When. for any reason. the problem
arises of substituting for the mothers
milk an artificial food. the greatest care
is necessary. 1t should be undertaken
whenever possible, under the specific di
rections of a physician or Il nurse thor

and condition Of the infant.
