And IL was evident that the banker

Smart Wraps
and Coats
By Rita Stuyvesant.

THE shops are now offering splen-
did values in winter wraps IL
L you are looking for one to finish
out the season with, and for next
year, too. this is an excellent time
to take advantage OF values.
Fur combines wonderfully well
with rich bolivia cloth. A stunning
dolman in old blue is one with a
great raccoon collar. No fasten-
ings are used, but one drapes 1t
around snugly and holds 1T at the
front. Deep arm-slits are cuffed
with self material
Brown is such warm, cozy color,
and when it allies itself with
beaver it is both good-looking and
comfortable. One smart wrap OF
tobacco brown is draped fashion
ably narrow at the bottom and
deeply collared in the beaver. A
stunning lining of yellow and tan
figures was effectively used.
Occasionally one finds wrap that
Is beautiful without being fur
trimmed, and then rich embroidery
is substituted. One lovely model Of
honey-colored velour is made with
a deep shaped yoke reaching al
most to the waist. and this surface
is decorated by dark brown wool
embroidery. This wrap is very
moderate.

How to Care
for the Baby
By Brice Belden, M. D.


(This 70 tho eighth n Dr.. Beher's
series on cares for the baby. Epery
mother should read and sove these
orticles.)
1rHE age at which a baby's teeth
appear Is not SO reliable an
- index of development as in
crease in weight, since time of ap-
pearance tends to differ in different
families. Any very lengthy post
ponement in the appearance of
teeth may be a result of malnutri-
tion or ricketts,.
When the teeth begin to como
there may at times be symptoms
such as fretfulness and restlessness
at night, or the digestion may be
somewhat upset. Loss OF weight
usually goes with teething, and
while the ether symptoms usually
last only for three or four days. the
child may not gain weight for sew
eral weeks.
The first teeth to appear are
usually the two lower central ones,
coming anywhere from the NTH to
the ninth month in average babies
The four upper central teeth then
appear from the eighth to the
twelfth month and the two other
lower central teeth follow these.
From the twelfth to the eight
teenth month the four front double
teeth first molars) may appear.
and following them at the period
between the eighteenth and the
twenty-fourth month are the four
canine teeth (just in front Of tho
first molars).
OF these canine teeth the two
upper ones are called the "eye
teeth" and the two lower ones
are called the stomach teeth"
Between the twenty-fourth and
thirtieth month the first set, called
the milk teeth" is completed with
the appearance of the four back
double teeth (molars), making
twenty teeth in all.
Thus the average healthy child
has six teeth when he Is a year old.
sixteen when he IL two years old,
and has his full set of twenty milk
teeth when he reaches the age OF
two and a half years.
Babies should not be fed too much
when they are teething, as the di-
gestion is likely to be rather DELI
cately balanced at this time. Deli
cate children should be carefully
watched during this time, as the
accompanying symptoms can be
very severe

Riches for
Children
By DR.. VIM. A. McKeever.

By DR.. VIM. A. McKeever.
How definitely shall we tell our
half-grown children about the
family income?
How can we keep our boy mod
est and self-reIiant IL We tell him
that some day he will inherit q
comfortable life annuity
How can we teach thrift and
business success to our children
when we are consuming every
dollar of the family income for
our immediate living expenses?
That Is, how can we preach sue
cess to our children when we arc
conspicuously not success our
selves?
There is one general and very
necessary answer to this two
pointed question: Teach your child
to go It alone, to walk on his
own feet, to learn TO pay his own
way through life.
Wealthy parents-those who ex-
pect to leave considerable money
to their children-will do we'll to
use caution in making such a fact
known to their half-grown boys
and girls. The youthful heir il
almost certain to misjudge the
matter and to quit trying to
amount to something on his own
account.
Only in so far as he has self
acquired wealth of character can
your boy or girl make any vaIua-
BILE use of the money he may in
time inherit from his parents. And
then he may need very little of
such help.

TheOrigin of
HOneymOOnS

The custom of referring to the
time Immediately after the we'd
ding as a honeymoon came from
the ancient tribes of Central Eu-
rope. Newly married couples
drank and served to their friends
a wine made from honey gathered
during the first thirty days after
the performance Of the wedding
ceremony.
After persisting for several hun
dred years. this custom finally died
out; but it's significance remained,
particularly as the serving OF the
honeyed wine was succeeded by
the practice of married couples
leaving their home for a varying
length Of time.
For this reason the trip which
follows the marriage ceremony is
now known as a honeymoon.

Tell Time
By Moon
By Garrett P. Serviss.

TOR night wanderers the moon

L guide to the points Of the COM
pass, il one requires of her only
the rough general facts. For in
stance, broadly speaking, the half
moon (first quarter) is south at 9
%. M. local or sun dial time, south
west at o p. M, and west, IL visible.
at midnight. The three-quarters
moon (gibbous) is southeast at 8
p. M, south at 8 p. m, southwest
at midnight and west at a. m.
The full moon is east at 6 p. m,
southeast at o p. M, south at mid
night, southwest at 3 a. m. and west
at 6 a. m. The gibbous moon, half
way between full and last quarter,
is east at 8 p. m, southeast at mid
night, south at 3 a. m. and south
west at a. m. The last-quarter
moon is east at midnight, southeast
at 3 q. m. and south at a. m.
These indications serve fairly
we'll for lower and middle latitudes,
provided that some allowance is
made for the changing position of
the moons track through the sky
with reference to the horizon at
different ATTITUDES and different
seasons. In Winter the moon runs
high between first and last quarter,
and the full moon sets well north
of the west point and rises cor
respondingly north Of the east
point.
In summer. on the other hand,
the moon runs low from first to
last quarter, and the full moon
rises and sets proportionately far
south of the east and west points.
With a little experience one can
easily take these changes into ac-
count and use the moon at all
seasons as fairly good guide,
especially between o p. m. and 3
n. m.
