HNE is not considered smart at
any of the summer resorts
~ this season II one does not
wear a scarf. And such delightful
bits Of lacy wool they are. And
the colorings are really exquisite.
II you can knit, you can make
any number Of these dainty scarfs
to accompany your sport togs. The
scarfs are knitted on coarse wooden
needles from fifty to sixty stitches
across and long enough to fall con.
siderably below the waist. The
ends are fringed with a crochet
needle. You should choose a thin

These scarfs are strikingly done
in solid color and worn on an all
white costume. Imagine, II you

maize, marigold, purple, silver
gray, jade, buff. peach. tabby, tur-
ouoise and white are among the
other delicate tints one might
select. Very often the success OF
the sports costume depends on
the scarf worn with It. White
harmonizes with any color, but the
pastel tones are more attractive.
A silver gray crepe sport frock
with scarf of marigold wool, or
gray with old blue, is attractive.

CHILD NEEDS
SUNLIGHT
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

TINE Importance Of fresh air
for the young child has been

OF fresh air, and teaching mothers
that even babies must get their
quota OF fresh air In the winter

will growing plants.
g. When poor.conditioned babies
and young children who are run
down receive the benefit Of sun
light In addition to fresh air and
good food and other hygienic ad-
vantages they thrive nightly in
general vigor and nutrition. Even
II they suffer from ricketts, the
effects are remarkable. In fact.
in ricketts, sunlight seems to pos
sess special curative powers.
The good effects Of sunlight in
the foregoing circumstances are
not due to the light rays, but to
the acttnic or chemical rays.
These beneficent rays have but
little penetrating power and can
not readily pierce the clothing or
pass through glass.
One often sees people attempt.
ing to benefit themselves by sit.
ting In sun parlors with glass
windows through which the rays
OF the sun have to pass, They
are not getting anything for their
pains as far as sunlight effects
are concerned.
Similarly. children are most
