to a cooking school in the daytime,
as my time is all my own. l have
watched everyone 1 know, but can't
cook myself.
l don't have any luck. / dearly
love cooking, and would give most
anything to learn. ] have all thei
latest cook books, but fail in everu
undertaking. Could you suggest =
way, or tell me where l could learn
if it would not be too expensive?
CARRIE.
Perhaps you are not thorough
Carrie. Concentration is as essen
tial to success in cooking as In any
thing else,
If were you would learn first to-
broil chops and steaks properly. to
boil and season potatoes and veges
tables and to make simple desserts.
When you have mastered these you
will have more success with elab-
crate dishes. Get a good cook book
and follow directions minutely. And
watch the exchange column on this
page There are day classes in
cooking at the Young women's
Christian Association. The rates are

mira bic features of the new summer
outfit; coats are short and light of
weight, skirts are long with the ex-
ception of walking skirts, which may
be as much as six inches from the

are being fashioned of the sheerest
possible fabrics. Lace is trying hard
to break into vogue; many of the
French houses display quantities of 1t

which seems to be growing, lace will
again be very popular At the mo-
ment shadow laces are favored for
blouses combined with chiffon, and
in the case of afternoon and evening
frocks 1t is used for the bodice, COM
bined with the material of the frock
or a chiffon cloth that matches per-
fectly.
The afternoon gown of satin shown
in No. s205 illustrates well the effect

When a child has mumps, what
should the mother do?
While the fever lasts the child
should be kept in bed and on fluid
diet. Tepid sponge baths will help
reduce the fever and make the child
rest better. If the swollen glands
are very painful dry heat or moist
heat may be used. A flannel wrung
out of hot water may be applied, and
this covered by oiled silk and cotton.
A simple fold of cotton held on by
a bandage and then allowing the
child to lie up against hot-water
bag are usually enough. The mouth
should be rinsed with a mild anti
septic solution, the bowels kept open,
and a fluid diet given for a few days,
at least while the swelling is Intense
The child must remain in the house
as long as the swelling remains.
IL there anything special for a
mother to do in case of chicken
pox?
Keep the child from scratching the
eruption if possible. Put mittens on
the hands and apply carbolated pc
trolatum or ! per cent. ichthyol
ointment to relieve the itching. A
sponge bath of warm water with one
teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda to
the basin of water is often helpful

Three First Aids" to
Anxious Mothers

In a case of diphtheria what may a
mother do to help her sick child?
Here the chief thing to do is to keep
the child quietly in bed. The danger
often lies in heart failure, and the
mother must enforce absolute rest in
bed. 1t Is at Il time like this that the
mother will reap the greatest benefit
from a we'll disciplined child. The use
of antitoxin is now so widely known
that little other treatment Is needed.
This, of course. rests with the physi-
clan. An antiseptic mouth spray or
wash is also beneficial in shortening
the attack. The bowels must be kept
open daily and nourishing, easily d.
gested food given.
