"tcli all the women who are mothers
to allow child who is i'll to speak
to the doctor himself about his
symptoms, Mothers wonder and
protest when We physicians Danish
them from consultations whenever
we possibly can. 1t is largely be-
cause we cannot get at the child
himself. One can do nothing with
symptoms related at second hand.
Intelligent women who would not
allow a doctor to prescribe for them
over the telephone or by mail. treat
their own children in lust that
fashion.
ANY child who can talk knows
what the matter is-at least where
the pain is, and often what causes

despair--Gsllic despair. AS last
trump. he blared:
Madame will find the new mate
rails so practical. Here is mix
ture that will give excellent service

That was too much-all thoughts
of an individually tailored suit took
wings in the face OF that ogre-'eS-
Cellcnt service for several seasons"
A tour OF the shops was the only
alternative.
Specter of Serviceability.
The first speciality shop dealt
largely in shepherd checks. mostly
black with hairline markings OF
white. and even the magic names Of
French designers failed to drive
away that specter of serviceability.
The suits fairly screamed their con-
servative lines. good for at least two
seasons: their excellent materials.
good for twice as long: their sub
ducd colorines. good for any time OF
yePr or anv time Of day.
The second shop boasted a recent

The homespunS were OF every color
Imaginable. dull peacock blue. soft
strawberry. wistaria. and hunters
