"l OTHERS with young children
M would often prefer to remain
N| at home than brave the diff
culties and inconvenience
which travelling with them presents
Some women, indeed, far from at
tempting an extended journey, are
even willing to forego short trips and
shopping excursions, which under
other circumstances would be con-
sidered necessary, because there is no
one into whose care they are willing
to intrust the baby. And no matter
how good-natured and long-suterlng
the youngster is, there is no DOUBT
that travelling is strain upon potn
his health and his disposition, ana
even a greater tax on his mother.
Probably the first consideration OF
the traveller is the procuring OF q
costume which will show the least
amount of wear and tear at the jour-
ney's end This problem often proves
an extremely difficult one for adults
to solve, and is particularly trying IN
the case of children. The simpler the
costume is, the more satisfactory it is
likely to prove, and dark materials
are generally conceded to be cooler
and more comfortable and stay fresh
and attractive longer than lighter
ones, which show the soil easily
There is a good deal in the psycholo-
~ of feeling that you look well, even
tho you don't feel as if you had just
stepped out of the proverbial band

A frock of some dark washable ma
terial cut on perfectly straight tall
ored lines, with full boomers to
match, is an ideal travelling costume
for a little girl. The slightly
neck and the elbow sleeves insure
GOODNESS and comfort, for no mater

The comfort of the little traveller.
Only second in Importance to keep

problem Of keeping her happy ana

frequently too much for the nerves
and good humor of groWn-ups, who
invariably have books or magazines
to amuse them. Paper dolls have
been pressed into service so long for

SUGGESTIONS For Travellers

herself without the slightest incon-
venience.
The problem Of travelling with q
very young infant is even more COM
plicated than when one has child
who can in some degree reason and
shift for herself. inexperienced young
mothers, unaccustomed to graphing
with the difficulty, too often burden
themselves down with so many pack
ages and bundles and suitcases in
which are slowed away the numerous
articles necessary to !. baby's comfort
and health, that railway travelling be-
comes an experience, or rather q
nightmare. to be avoided at all costs,
and only to be attempted in case of
absolute necessity.
But all these numerous bags and
nackages may be done away with by
the simple expedient Of converting q
large splint basket into a travelling
carry-all for the baby. Get a large
paper bag and carefully fold the in
fant's change Of clothing in it, to-
gether with any other articles deemed
necessary. This may be slowed away
in the bottom of one end of the bas-
ket. and the rest Of the unoccupied
norton can be made into a bed in
which the baby will repose as COM
fortably as in his crib at home. Such
an arrangement does away with the
necessity for carrying the child, and
all sorts of packages may be tucked
away in the corners.
Travelling, whether in winter or
summer, presents a problem in keep
ing clean and dainty all its own. This
is hard enough task for the adult,
who may protect herself with gloves
and wells from the dirt and SCOT and
dust 1t is not always practical or,
indeed, possible to wash the uiny face
and hand at frequent intervals. Even
more effective in the removal of dirt
and CRIME than soap and water is a
sponge made of absorbent gauze and
cheesecloth saturated with some anti
septic astringent, such as alcohol
These congresses may be prepared at
home before starting out, and, with
the addition of small bottle of alco-
hol, tightly corked, they are ready
for use at any time. These sponges
often come in handy for first aid ap-
plication in case of minor injury.
Now that baby's actual physical
comfort and cleanliness have been
provided for, there remains only the
problem Of supplying him with his &C
customed rations at the accustomed
intervals. This last is easily solved
by the use of vacuum bottle, which
will keep the babys milk at just the
required temperature for hours at a
time. 1t may even be opened and
closed more than once without max
ing any material difference in the
heat of the contents. Surely this is an
Improvement over the old method OF
carrying several bottles of milk,
which are sure to be lukewarm lonG
before the baby is ready to drink
them.

AT HOME
BY LUCILLE DUNDET.

ONCE knew a very dear and
also very well-intentioned old
lady who was so solicitOuS
about her guests comfort that
the minute they set foot upon her
threshold she lost no time in assur-
ing them that they were perfectly
welcome" and scarcely we're they
seated in her parlor when she was
admonishing them to make them
selves at home" One of sufficient
breadth to appreciate the spirit rather
than the words which it inspired real
ly would feel "at home" but another
inclined to be at all conscious of him
self would be instantly on pins and
needles.
The power Of suggestion in all
things, but particularly in putting
people at their ease cannot be over
estimated. This business of putting
people at their ease" is really not q
business at all, but the most elusive
OF arts. You see, it is the tender
handclasp, the ready smile, the bright
eye which constitutes welcome so
warm that the assurance of it in so
many words is superfluous. So much
Tor making your guest at home with
out his knowledge you are making
special efforts in that direction.
Another opportunity for you to help
make someone forget his shortcom-
lngs. to help him have a good time,
lies open to you at every single social
gathering at which you are present.
This does not imply that you make
hoor manager of yourself, going about
here and there seeking out the wall
flowers and the doorway loungers. hut
II Is suggestion that you help a par
ticularly backward partner to over
come his torturing shyness. It ia a
terrible feeling, this one of being left
out OF things, of being a perfect little
nobody, of not knowing what to talk
about. being afraid Of your life to
start out doing it. And Just here is a

social rescuer who merits one or all
of the coveted epithets. 1t is the man
who puts himself out to give a not
too-graceful wallfiower a dance. that
! is joy forever to his hostess; it is
he of whom the girls whisper, "in-
teresting," "oh, just grand" ''fascina-
ton" Now what red-blooded man
doesn't take an uncomfortable delight
in being thus spoken of by the ladies'?
Aside from the knowledge that you
are helping to make someone happy,
that you are being Of invaluable ser

form of tongue-tiedness, and embar-
easements of all sorts. Preferring
YOUR neighbours pleasure before your
own ia as 1 have many times advised
the very surest cure for self-con-
seriousness. But like a great many
more things it can be overdone by
making the purpose too self-evident-
TO assure most people that they are
perfectly welcome" is to instantly
nut them on their guard, or at least to
sow doubts concerning your sincerity.
Not everyone possesses naturally the
mower of suggestion. but nearly every
one can cultivate it in measure.
"Deeds, not words" is the keynote OF
social suggestion, where it is a ques-
ton Of putting your neighbor at his

EY]HEUMATISM is now considered
k% by many doctors to be a blood
lAj disease and should be treated by
rigid dieting. Medicines, at
least in the first stages, are less effective
than curbing the appetite. If one is of
rheumatic tendency she should eat little
or no red meat, cut out sugar, bread,
sweets and acid fruits and should drink
plenty of water This may seem like
a severe treatment for small COM
plaint.-at the first only twinges. Neg
lected they mean untold suffering; often
complete disablemcnt. 1t would be a
good thing for those who arc inclined
10 take rheumatic twinges lightly to re-
call the definition of the late Dr.. Spur
gcon, himself great suffeffrer from
rheumatism and govt: "1f YOU put your
hand into a wise and let a man press as
hard as he can, that is rheumatism; if
he can be got to press little harder,
it is govt" Before that wise gets such
a hold it cannot be loosed take precau-
tons. Dieting may not be pleasant, but
it is pleasanter than being rheumatic
victim with only ones self to blame.
