Roof Garden is I: , Baby's Air House
Fire Escape Sometimes Used to Give the Little One
 Fresh Ar-Must be Carefully Screened
By DR. EMMA E. WALKER

fresh air has done it's work, and ap- petite has never to be coaxed.
 Now for Baby's roof garden! Let me tell you of a most successful one. There were four children, the baby under a year, her brothers of three and seven and sister of five. Although in the country where the summer was spent the little ones were happy and robust, color began to pale, listlessness increased and appetite waned on the family's return to town. What is to be done?" the physician was asked.
 Take them to the roof" was the answer.
 But they go to the park every day now. And Mary begins to cry the minute her wraps are brought out"
 Did she cry last summer when she went outdoors?"
 Never. But, you see, the children had no special time for going out They actually lived out-of-doors in the country. And then there were so many things to amuse them"
 Follow the same plan here. Feed them on air, but do it without effort. ?
 Going out to walk at a certain fixed hour every day is to Baby what our constitutional is to us And has not Baby as much right to complain of monotony as have we? If, however his playground is out of doors then indeed is he happy mortal.
 Two essentials there are for Baby,s roof garden; presence of sun, absence

 . Venetian lace is also used on the satin frock with the tunic of net fin ished with deep band of lace and or namentedA with tiny buttons.
 The color scheme is the thing of the the daring experiments of the season is shown in an evening gown by the famous Drecoll, which is a cloud of white lace with deep belt and long streamer-ends of royal blue, while around the decolletage are pale yell low roses and bright green leaves. On a fair-haired woman nothing could be more ravishing and yet the first glance strikes one as being the most reck- less of combinations.
 Navy blue and red sounds rather wild for evening gowns, but all of the French couturieres have sent us gowns Of this year combining these two pri- mary colors. The red runs the gamut from scarlet to @ deep purplish shade known as violine. It is an old Chinese combination in some tints. In brick red it takes ones mind back to the days of the Terror.
 Rainbow effects are sometimes happy is chosen prayerfully. For instance, a really poetic vision is a gown of spale blue satin made with tunic of mar

DIET OF
 CHILDREN
Should Be Varied-Young Ones Can Be Tempted By Food That Looks
 Appetiziug

FIT IS often difficult to think of simple, wholesome variations in the restricted diet of children three or
 four years old. Too frequently they are permitted to eat everything. The exercise of little care, especially in summer, will prevent many small illnesses and some serious ones, and a little planning will make plain things seem festal dishes.
 I have found that what she calls a sandwich will often tempt my three year-old girls appetite So that she will eat the rest of her meal with relish. From a lean piece of beefsteak l scrape, with the back of a knife. enough beef to spread generously over soda-cracker. I sprinkle it with a tiny pinch of salt, and place 1t under the gas flame just long enough to slightly change the color.
 A spoonful or two of the juice of stewed prunes makes the breakfast porridge a. delectable dish, and is bet berry or other homemade jelly, now and then, is good for the same pur- pose; or the strained juice of stewed blackberries in summer
 If the slice of bread and butter or toast is cut into thin strips, it will please the child and be easy for little fingers to manage daintily. Putting mashed potatoes through the ricer makes lighter and much more accept able potatoes. It is easier to teach little children to eat vegetables or any thing they have little inclination to like if they are served with a very small portion at a time. They will be apt to consume broth or soup much

There is a revival of yellow this season and the combination of mauve and pale blue. mauve and apple green, mauve and yellow, and mauve and pale pink are always delightful to the eye of the artist. These tones and com- binations used to be called pastel tones and, strange to say. they usually appear contemporaneously with the bright colors which are a vogue this season. It is happy arrangement, for the woman who loves tender hues is not forced by fashions mandate to ar ray herself i'm emerald orange and crimson, while she who thinks that faded old tints add to her years and her pallor may indulge in all the bril- liance that she thinks she needs.
 Paquin, who is the evening gown spe- cialist of Paris, is making many eve ming gowns of mousseline de soie, net and Venetian lace, not scrap of satin or silk to be seen, not even a ribbon or a bow anywhere. Some of his best evening gowns have such short skirts that the ankle is plainly in evidence, and many of the harem skirts are of crepe de chise with full soft satin trousers worn under the ankle length tunic.
 An evening gown of black embroider- ed mousseline had the side of the skirt

runs half way round the waist and has a sash at the other side. The bodice of an evening gown is made half of one material and half of another and partly of one color and partly of an entirely different color.
 In some of the French gowns the tunic is short in front, at the back developing into train, while some of the newest gowns have no tunic in front, but have one at the back which extends around only to the side seams
 Some of the new gowns have round short skirts with long narrow trains hanging loose from the waist at the back. They are looped and carried gracefully in the right hand or over the arm. This is an Empire fashion. Women seemed to have their hands fully occupied in those days, and scarves and fans were craze. The unkind aristocrats deduced catty things from this craze for supplying the hands Of the women of Napo1eon's court with occupation even during their hours of ease They said that the peasant and work girl, Efves of the brave marshals and generals lacked the repose that generations Of leisure and elegant id1eness bestows. Their hands were more accustomed to wash ing and sewing, cooking and knitting, than lying useless in their sl1ken iaps-hence the need of fans and loose light trains.

more readily if it is served in a small cup rather than a bowl The use of a spoon for liquids is tedious work for small fingers.
 When there are to be peas or lima beans for dinner, take out a tablespoon liquor they were cooked in, press the solid part through a coarse sieve or a puree strainer, add a cup of milk and boil gently few minutes. Thicken a little and season, and you have cur of soup the little ones will like, and which will be better for them than the plain vegetable, half chewed. Of course, children must learn to masti- cate thoroughly, but do it little at a time.
 For dessert, have found rice dump nngs great favorite-with the very soft first. Have ready squares of cheesecloth or muslin and clean string. Put a good spoonful of rice on each square, spread out evenly and lightly over the middle, and place on this a quarter of good baking apple sliced very thin. Put a little sugar and nutmeg with a bit of butter on top, gather up the squares of cheese cloth like bags and tie tightly. Drop in boiling water, boil twenty minutes.
 Thin slices of buttered bread spread with a little jam or jelly, or the soft DuID or d UdhCo dPPAO, dliu S0I III Oio- monds or rounds, make very nice dessert for the nursery tea. A stale roll (not too stale), with some of the crumbs scooped> out and a. spoonful of stewed fruit in the cavity, is quite a treat It is nice to toast the hollow roll first.
 Where the little children sit at the family table, the dessert is apt to be their great temptation. If some simple but attractive dessert of their own is ready, such as junket or stewed fruit with meringue, they can be taught not to ask for the pie or rich pudding of their elders. But most important of all, teach them from their first appear ance at the table that there will often be dishes for older people which they cannot eat.
 Just a word more for the very little ba abies: Be sure their milk has been treated so that all the germs are killed So many children die in the hot weather from intestinal diseases which might have been prevented by

XXyHEN a tent is closed 1t is about
 w as interesting as a London fog
 When open it is invaded by all sorts of creeping things. A rain storm of few days covers everything with blue mold 1 have evolved the follow ing relief: First, start with a floor the size of the tent you require. Ten by shape. This should be raised six inches from the ground Next, on this flooring, build light framework with pointed roof. The sides should be six feet in height. Cover all this with wire netting, using screen door for en- trance. The roof, If so desired, may be covered with canvas or other ma teriaI; green burlap is desirable for this purpose and also for the inside curtains, which should be hung from the top of the room on all sides and so arranged that they may easily roll up and down, simply tying them with tape. I advise the green buriap be- cause of it's cool, restfuI tone, which alleviates the glare from the canvas Over this screened room spread the usual canvas "1y" that roofs and extend we'll beyond the ends and sides It also might be well to have flaps at the front and back to close in case of severe storms. For fnva1ids, for tuberculosis patients especially, be- lieve this to be superior to any of the other out-of-door arrangements now in use. It is inexpensive; the cost Of the outfit will probably not exceed that of the ordinary canvas tent When not in use 1t can easily be taken apart and stored. The wire netting if carefully rolled and cared for will last for years.

Iution bonnet of rose red, which com- pleted the quaint effect. Many of the tunics yelling the soft rose or grey satin gowns are of the new Mediterranean blue. which is a lovely shade and rather softer than the Kings blue, which is worn to much in hats.
 Sleeves are important in every gown. A graceful line is given to the rounding of the shoulders and the top of the arm by the mousseline being fixed close to the shoulder line with Oriental strass buttons whence soft flowing mousseline effects a collar notion.
 The high ceintures of the Empire skirts are many and varied. Some finish on one side with an enormous rosette of two colors. Others are made of gold or silver cord. Some are of broad chains and one most attractive is of porcelain enamel squares set in gold.
 Separate trains of lace are seen on some Paquin gowns, as for instance one of filet and mousseline has an overdress of silk cut up at one side to show short skirt of white satin. The Underskirt is so- short that the foot and ankle are plainly visible. The

 rinsed in boiling water, stopper the bottles with fresh raw cotton. set them
 upright in a rack or strafner within kettle. Fill the kettle with water so that 1t comes two-thirds the way up the bottles. Let the water heat and boil for half an hour, then cool the milk without removing the cotton shoppers. Milk treated in this way will keep a couple of days without placing on the ice. The nipples must be dipped in boiling water before plac- ing on the bottles. By taking this little trouble to give them good milk, the babies can be kept well all sum- mer.-The Editors.

Household Hints

VARIOUS members of my family V have the cold cream habit, which
 is very we'll in its place, but most disastrous to the towels with which the grease is wiped off. After several distressing discoveries, on my best towels, of large grease spots which laundering had not removed, I dis tributed among the feminine portion of my family their brothers soft, oids discarded handkerchiefs, with strict injunctions to use them and spare the lines. They are marked "C C W1t1 indeIible ink in letters two inches higns so they are never confused with the handkerchiefs in ordinary service. They are sent down to the laundry like any towel or handkerchief, and now, when I sort the clean clothes, my hous- wifely soul surveys with complacencJ the huge grease spots-not on my best embroidered towels. $. v.

of wind. This particular air garden is on tin roof. The vent pipes run up another story, thus are out of the way. The roof is sunny, quiet and well above the dust line. First, floor ing was laid in sections. Boards were used four inches in width with one fourth inch space between. A wire net inclesed the space, and the "baby run" was nearly ready. A wooden partition was erected to shield the run" from northwest winds.
 By system of canvas slides or screens the playground can be con- verted into "pen." Then in times of drizzle there is an awning fastened to the house cornice supplemented by an apron that serves to make weather proof practically the entire space.
 The little floor space that might get wet in driving rain easily dries on account of its structure. The garden has stood the test even of blizzard days. There is so much for the older children to do that time flies on wings. The snow family to be made, the "street cleaning" to be done, the troll ley cars lold chairs. tables and boxes) to be motored, the gardens to be planted, the shoveling and spading to be accomplished! All consumes time and air.
 This special group of citizens have grown so warm blooded and rosy checked that mittens generally prove a superfuity.

DABIES who seem hungry and fret D full all the time are sometimes merely thirsty. All people do not realize that a baby gets thirsty, and that one or two teaspoonfuls of water day is not all the baby needs. h. stead of a spoon, procure a rubber nip pie and put it on any Clean bottle of convenient size. It a bottle is used the child gets all the water he needs in a natural manner, and does not soil his dress. Always have the. water luke warm. A child, if accustomed to talk ing water in this manner, will take any kind of medicine readily if it is first diluted with a little warm water and then put in his bottle. My baby is very strong and healthy and has taken water in this manner since he was Q
 day old. He is now four months old, and takes an average of eight ounces a day. G. E. J.
