Faulty feeding i'm infancy and early

now being pretty thoroughly educated
to the importance Of breast feeding
for infants and of liberal and suitable
diet during the early years Of life.
Plenty of good, simple food, including
milk, meat vegetables and fruit, with
avoidance Of coffee, tea and alcohol
are recognized as the proper food for
children.
Many parents make the mistake of
allowing the caprice of the child to
influence It's diet. We know the foods
which are suitable for children, and
knowing these the children should be
provided with them in suitable
amounts and should be required to
eat Of them, largely independent of
choice. The child that learns to eat

familiar-namely, a financial anxiety

Unusual and Pretty Afternoon Frock.

The last word in afternoon frocks
makes 1t plain that drapery is thing
to be much desired when it Is artfully
managed. Straight lines if you want
them, but skirts may be draped to
break length of line and to widen the
figure at the hips or anywhere between
them and the knees. The draped skirt
is emphatically becoming to the slender
figure, and some stout women maintain
that widened lines in the skirt make
the waist look slender.
Purple taffeta is the medium employ
ed for the fetching afternoon gown
shown in the accompanying picture.
1t has an underbodice, sleeves and col
lar of georgette crepe, matching the
silk in color and employs silk tassels
as a finish on the collar. These last
might be Of beads. The skirt is laid
in panel at the back and front by
deep side plaits and the interval be-
tween the panels is plated to the hips.
Here a short length of silk is folded
and draped as pictured.

There are so many pretty and clever
neck fiXings, that fashion approves, for
putting the finishing touch to all sorts
of dresses and coats. The choice lies
all the way between the most incon-
spicuous of ties, to collars and capes
that are an important part of the
makeup of waists and coats. One Won
ders sometimes whether the dress is
made for the collar or the collar for
the dress.
One Of the most popular develop
ments of present styles appear in
double collars and double capes Occa-
sionally both upper and under collar
are Of the same material, but oftener
one is Of sheer goods over collar
of heaTier fabric, both cut in the same
shape. The addition of thin white
collar is relied upon by designers to
assure the becomingness of many a
dress and is essential to the complete
expression Of their ideas. But the
manufacture of collars and other neck
wear has become an important busi-
ness In itself, and dress designers often
make their models with reference to
the prevalent styles in neckwear. a

CHATTER x.

A few days after Wilson's recogni-
ton Of K, two most exciting things
happened to Sidney. One was that
Christine asked her to be maid of
honor at her wedding. The other was
more wonderful. She was accepted,
and given her cap.
Because she could not get home that
night, and because the little house had
no telephone, she wrote the news to
her mother and sent note to LIE
Noyne.
X. found the note on the hall table
when he got home that night. and car
ried 1t upstairs to read. Whatever
faint hope he might have had that her
youth would prevent her acceptance
he knew now was over. With the let
ter in his hand. he sat by his table
and looked ahead into the empty years.
Not quite empty, Of course. She would
be coming home.
But more and more the life of the
hospital would engross her. He sur
missed, too. very shrewdly, that, had he
ever had hope that she might come
to care for him, his very presence in
the little house initiated against him.
There was none of the illusion of sep
aration; he was always there. like Ka-

The silk bodice is made in the "slip-
over" fashion and joined to the skirt
with a piping of silk. The waistline Is
n little higher in the back than in the
front.and this improves the lines of the
figure for either slender or heavy fig
ures. The bodice Is decorated with
very narrow folds of silk, set on in
triangles at the back and front, and
the collar merits special attention be-
cause it Is new and popular and har-
monfzes so well with the shape and
decoration of the bodice. The crepe
is cut in long triangular pieces at the
back and front and finished at the
edges with n narrow hem. pendent
tassel is set on with q crochet button
to each point.
The plain sleeves are set into deep,
turn-back cuffs of silk. and the bodice
has a shallow ''V" opening at the front
Of the neck. This model. pretty and
unusual as it is, is simple in design
and easy to execute. The master hand
in designing is required to achieve such
fine results of such easy methods. --

tie. When she opened the door, she
called Mother" from the hall. II
Anna did not answer, she called him,
in much the same voice.
Sidney's letter was not the only one
he received that day. When, in re-
Spouse to Katie's summons, he rose
heavily and prepared for dinner, he
found an unopened envelope on the
table. It was from Max Wilson:
Dear lie Moyne-I have a feeling Of deli
cacy about trying to see you again so

Think 1t over, old man. M. W.
It Is curious fact that man who
Is absolutely Enthusiastically about
women Is often the soul Of honor to
other men. The younger Wilson, TAX
ing his pleasures lightly and not too
discriminatory. was making an offer
that meant his ultimate eclipse, and
doing it cheerfully, with his eyes open.
K. was moved. It was like Max to
make such an offer, like him to do 1t
as Il he were asking favor and not
comforting one. But the offer left him
interrupted. He had weighed himself
In the balance. and found himself
wanting. No tablet ON the college wall
could change that. And when, late
that night, Wilson found him on the
balcony and added appeal to argu-
ment. the situation remained nm

variety of collars may embellish one
gown and add new interest to it all the
time. ..
A very pretty and very simple or
candle collar Is shown in the picture,
with plain ruffles used for its decora-
ton. 1t is cut with narrow fronts,
opening in ''V' and cape widened at
the back. A frill is used for finishing
1t. Collars Of this kind, made at
home, are beautifully finished with
narrow tatting edging made in light
blue or pink. Fine crochet edgings are
used in the same way, but in spite of
the vogue for color, the all white
collar knows no equal in favor
In ties, narrow velvet ribbon, with
ends finished with little bead balls,
or small tassels of silk or beads, or

K. struck a match with his steady
hands. Now that the thing had come,
he was glad to face it. In the flare.
his quiet profile glowed against the
night. Then he flung the match over
the rail. Max stared; then he rose.

Good night"
Wilson's unexpected magnanimity
put X. In . curious positionleft
him, as 1t were, with q divided allie
glance. Sidney's frank infatuati0n for
the young surgeon was growing. He
wss quick to SEQ It And where before
he might have felt Justified in going
to the length Of warning her, now his
hands were tied.
Sidney went on night duty shortly
after her acceptance. She tumbled
Into her low bed at nine O'Clock in the
morning, those days, with her splen-
did hair neatly braided down her back
and her prayers said, and Immediately
her active young mind filled with
images-Christine's wedding. Doctor

On her hrst night on duty girl

She had taken poison-nobody knew
Just what. When the internes had

And she had died.
Sidney Kept asking herself, "Why"
those mornings when she could not get
to sleep. People were kind-men were
kind, really-and yet, for some reason
or other. those things had to be.
Why?
Carlotta Harrison went on night

FLUSHING MAINS AGAIN.
City Starts 70 Clean Out Sediment
From Dead Ends.

In order to try and clean out Of the
dead ends Of city water mains river
water or sediment left there by it
when the river water was turned in.
the city water supply department be-
gan Tuesday afternoon to flush out
all these dead ends with well water.
1t may be day or two longer before
all are flushed. The reservoir has now
been full Of water from the city wells
for four days. It is thought now that
the necessity for again turning in river
water win not arise.
Samples Of water were being sent to
the state meteorological laboratory to-
day. Councilman Mcfarland said that
samples from different districts Of the
city are to be sent to the laboratory
for analysis each week. Until such
analyses establish that the water is no,
contaminated the public should con-
tinue to boil the water to be on the
safe side.
