There is more than one reason for
letting the children blow soap bubbles.
It's good, harmless fun, for one thing,
and keeps them out of worse mischief.
1t can result in nothing worse than a
little soap in the eyes and little soap
suds on the clothes, bob of which are
comparatively harmless.
But it is more than good fun. 1t is
beneficial to the lungs. There are doc
tors who recommend it as an excellent
way of exercising the lungs, and hence
greatly strengthening to them.
Deep breathing exercises are freely
recommended. but who could think of
anything stupider than pulling in and
putting out great gulps of fresh air.
How much more fun to see who can
blow the biggest bubble!
Bubble blowing is better for children
than some of the lung developers that
are sold. The soapsuds will rarely hold
long enough to do harm to the lungs
by overwhelming them or by too long
effort.
To blow very big bubbles try putting
piece Of rubber tubing about seven
inches long on the narrow end Of a
funnel. Invert the mouth Of the fun.
mel in the soapsuds as you would the
bowl Of pipe, then blow as hard as
you can through the tube and note
how you expand your lungs as well as
make wonderful soap bubbles.

The Fashionable Mother.

The mother who gives over her child
entirely to the care Of an attendant
after school hours is typical of the
times. for this the up to date parent
manages somehow, .even on limited
means. What is the result? Lax table
manners. curt yes or mo" when
answering elders. and with relations
no manners at all; taking what is
wanted without permission from any
room, and raging at correction from
any source. Of course the mother re-
sents any criticism Of her method ant,
will endeavor to explain away the tar
trums as nervousness.
She wants her child-when grown tip
at least-to have the manners of her
class, but she does not seem to realize
that these will probably not be &C.
CURED from hired attendants, nor will
years of struggling entirely obliteratc
the effect of early influence. That ev-
cry small girl should at least have
luncheon with her mother and occa-
sionally be her companion for driving
or calling. seems not unreasonable
demand. but many fashionable moth
ers are unwilling to make even this
small sacrifice, If that can be called a
sacrifice which ought to be the highest
privilege.

Christening the New Baby.

The time chosen for a christening is
usually when the child is about six
weeks old. though when there is diff
Guilty in deciding upon a name it is de-
ferred
The first step in this ceremony is the
choice of sponsors. Parents should
request only those relatives and near
friends who are likely to have the
time and disposition to keep their
promises they are called upon to make.
Two women and one man usually are
sponsors for girl, and two men and
one woman for boy, though one god
father and one godmother suffice for a
child of either sex.
Usually the mother writes to ask the
service of the friends or relatives de-
cided upon to take the vows in behalf
of her baby, but there is no reason
why the request should not be made
verbally
Aside from the sponsors and near
relatives, only a few intimate friends
Of the husband and wife are asked to
be present at the christening, and the
wife issues brief notes of invitation TO
them.

A Stork Shower.

The women friends OF young ma

for her stork shower which was
both useful and pretty. Each friend
undertook to contribute some needful
article for the little expected new
conner. suiting her pocketbook in the
selection. The arrangement of the
shower was extremely pretty. -Four
stuffed cranes (Which pass muster for

Pink and pale blue ribbons were
swung from one birds bill to another,
diagonally arranged so that they
crossed. and to these various pretty
things were pinned.

Less is known about Helen Prick,
the Pittsburg heiress. than about al
most any other rich girl. says the New
Idea Woman's Magazine
Her portrait has been painted by a
great artist, but the picture is jealous
ly guarded by the family. 1t portrays
a typical American girl. with broad
forehead, wide apart hazel eyes, a
wealth of reddish, brown hair which
waves naturally and softly curved
mouth. Only the nose and chin sug-
gest the firmness of her character. She
does not resemble her mother in the
least, her only brother, Henry Frick,
Jr, taking after that parent in looks.
Helen is great chum of her moth
er as we'll as of her big brother. Mrs.
Prick is in no sense of the word So
ciety woman. The home life of the
family has been ideal. never having
been touched by breath of. those
odious scandals which seem to cling to
the homes of some of the rich.
There has never been any garish
show of wealth in the Prick home nor
any parade of philanthropies.
Helen Frick is just as femininely
human as any other young woman of
her age. She is fond of pretty clothes
and likes to plan and shop for them
herself. Most of her gowns are made
right in New York, for. like the rest
of the family, she cares little for Eu-
rope or its products. although she has,
of course. Travelled extensively abroad.
But shopping is not the unalloyed
pleasure to her that it is to other girls
because of the fact that when she
starts on such an errand she is obliged
to take two detectives in plain clothes
along with her. She has objected
strenuously to this time and again,
regarding it as an infringement on her
personal liberty. But on this one
point she has never been able to out
general her father.
Therefore when Helen Prick goes
to buy lace for gown or a pair OF
dainty slippers she is obliged to do so
with a pair of detectives looking on.
And, as she has so often said. that
spells half the fun

DANCER From Small Toys.

Your children should never be al
lowed tiny playthings, for the instinct
of most young children is to put every
thing they come across into their
mouths.
One of the quickest and most effect
i've ways of removing anything from
the windpipe is to place the first and
second fingers down the throat and try
to seize the swallowed object and bring
it up.
Should Il fairly small object be
swallowed. let the little one eat a
-hasty pudding or basin of bread and
milk. with more bread than milk. in or
der to form poultice around the object
and prevent it from doing harm. Con

expedient OF pinning on summer Gov
ers.
Cut pieces the exact size of chair or
section of sofa. allowing enough to
turn in a hem all around edge if it be
not bound with wash braids.

headed white pins placed as close as

rhunderstorms and Milk.

The popular belief that thunder
storms sour milk seems to be pretty
thoroughly exploded. Experiment has
shown that milk deprived of Tactic
organisms is not affected by climactic
conditions, and if milk is kept cold it
does not sour in thundery weather.
The apparent connection between
thunderstorms and sour milk is prob
ably due to the sultry conditions pre-
cedipg the storm.

Controller Blauvelt of the Illinois
Central railroad was the witness from
whom the disclosures were obtained by
Frank Lyon, attorney for the commits
sion.
Commissioner Clements called the
witness attention TO figures he had
furnished on direct examination by the
railroads counsel
The commissioner said:
You say. Mr.. Blauvelt, that in 1891
your company's stock was Sf0,0o0,0o0
on ISIS miles of road. and in 1910, on
only about 100 miles more, it was

commissioner. Was it on the open
market?"
Part of it was. But most of it was

Blauvelt was unwilling that such an
impression should prevail. He said:

They show that the singer. now rest

here, is determined TO fight for the en-
forcement of Chanler's ante-nuptial
contract.
Nine. Cavalieri makes it plain that
she will not accept any compromise. She
is holding out for the strictest fulfill
ment of the contract In one cable
gram today she said:
The Chanler family will save itself
trouble by not submitting to me the re-
port in the offer of $4,000 down and
$4,000 annuity for the surrender of my
ante-nuptial agreement with Robert
w. Chanler, for l won't accept any such
offer.

Attorneys representing the trustees
of Chanler's estate today drew up
papers revoking the power of attorney
given to Cavalieri in the ante -nuptial
agreement.
Jean Martin, proprietor-of the famous
French restaurant in Fifth avenue, to-
day sued Chanler for two little din
ners' he enjoyed in company with
Cavalieri.
They were modest little dinners.
One of May cost only $S.75; that of
November II. $705.
At the first Chanler ordered a half
pitcher of Pilsener beer with his din
ner. Nine. Cavalieri could not go beer,
so she bought a raw apple. She is
very fond of raw apples and had one
to top off each of the dinners Martin
is suing for.
