The Cretonue Bed.

The cretonne bed is in vogue. A

warm welcome by the happy pos

The artist has shown you q cretonne

simple to arrange. Either a cot with

or the foot board of regular bed cut
down to the springs. II the head board

A tailored spread, with q valance

cover the mattress, and your task is
ended.
The bed shown today is covered
with cretonne of a lavender. yellow

ground. The wall paper in the room
has light green and white stripes
Green tarlatan Is used for glass cur
tains, and the side draperies are of
lavender sateen. with a straight lam

bands hold tn place the looped back
sateen draperies.
Many novel color schemes may be
worked out with the aid of these
cretonne beds. One room was most
effective with gray walls. blue
draperies and an orange and blue
striped bed. Another material, having
large, conventional roses, dressed q

dotted SWISS glass curtains and rose
silk over draperies. These new allies
to decorative schemes deserve their

Coat Frocks Prove Value
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

France invented the frock coat. but.
by reputation, America should have
thought Of it first. The French do not
believe in last-minute dressing. 1t Is
not their creed that women should put
on clothes as harness is dropped on
fire horse when the bell rings. It Is
ours. They laugh at us about this trait.
Yet they have invented the most con-
venient forms of costumery for quick
dressing. We claim the shirt wais. and
the elbow sleeve, but no one claims that
IT, shirt waist permits a quick form OF
dressing unless one speaks by theory
and not by experience. Snirt waists are
rarely clean when you want them In
a hurry: there are cuff buttons some-
times to be found; there are cravats
sometimes; there must always be belt
If they go under the skirt; also fine
array of underlinen il they are trans
parent.
When one wears shirt waist as q
uniform one must choose between look
ing dressed, or spend part of each day
arranging these simple little" gar
ments into order and cleanliness.
And they are costly because Of the
laundry bill For this reason the French
do not see in them a measure of econ
omy They dismissed them during the
war for this reason. They are only be-
ginning to wear them since their purses
have become a bit more padded. One
can tell the financial situation in Paris
by the rise and fall of the white blouse.
The garments they have invented for
convenience are really convenient. Inc
waistcoat is one. The coat frock Is
another The chemiSe frOck Is a third.
The one-piece silk or satin slip to serve
under all gowns is a fourth. We talk
much of economy or dress in time and
money. They give us the garments
to carry out our theories. And they
smile at the theories. It's curious
condition, is 1t not? Sounds like the
Germans commercial genius to tell
another nation what it wants to buy.
The coat trock is not new. 1t has its
disadvantages in our overheated houses
during the winter. For that reason 1t
was abandoned when 1T appeared in
thick materials several winters ago. We
retain summer under one roof through
out the year, and summer temperature
does not permit of thick and heavy fab
ric over the shoulders. When the coat
frock appears in thin materials II IS ad-
mirable 1t became standard costume
last spring, and with the advent or sum-
mer it continues to hold the people s
affections although it has not the popu-

as such by the minority.

Laying It on the Climate.

A lady who lives in Duluth and
mothers five children forsooth, the
oldest just five, four others alive,
believe it or not, tits the truth, sends
this not from Los Angeles, Calf:
I'VE are the proud parents of five
children-the oldest is just FIVE. A
few months ago you asserted in one
of your talks that it Is not necessary
for children to have Group. l write
to ask how to avoid 1t. We left Du-
luth in January to spend the winter
months here, thinking the children
in this climate. But not SO. They
have had quite as many colds and
the Group has been even more Sc
we're than they ever had at home.
Isn't this strange? We can't quite
understand 1t.
Accept mothers thanks for the
many. many helpful things you have
taught through your delightful arti-
cles and for the many. many times
your teachings have proved Of prac-
tical benefit in our household"
If the city of Duluth should pur-
chase a reasonable amount of the
stuff that sells Los Angeles to the
far country. no doubt many Angels
would come to Duluth to spend the
winters and escape the depressing
raw, wet seasons that discourage so
many victims Of the catching cold
phobia in California.
He who believes in taking cold"
from wet, change, draft or chill,
should accept Group with resignation
and humility. / am not casting peb-
bles at this misguided mother, for
she apparently believes what the old
fogy health authorities still teach.
namely, that the respiratory diseases
are germ diseases and all OF a more
or less communicable character ex-
cept when the doctor is little con-
fused and uncertain as to just which
respiratory disease the patient has.
in which case he draws q herring
across the trail, he bangles the dag
nosis, leaving the patient or family
to deplore the climate, the weather
or the wetness of the ground, until
he, the doctor, can determine whether
1t Is diphtheria, measles, meningitis,
infantile paralysis or sinusitis.
Climate has about as much to do
with Group as it has to do with tu-
berculosis or diphtheria-that- Is to
say, practically nothing at all. Early
in April I received letter from q
man in Maine, who actually wished
to know whether a certain electric

like the tone in which Mrs whitefoot
had said that. Just what do you
mean. my dear?" Whitefoot asked
Il mean" replied Mrs. Whitefoot
in a most decided way. that it Is a
very good house for winter. but it
won't do at all for summer. That IS.
; it wont do for me. In the first place,

know best. This seems to me like a
very fine home. but. of course. if you
don't like 1t well look for another"
Mrs. Whitefoot said nothing, but
led the way down the tree, with
Whitefoot meekly following. Then
began patient search all about.
Mrs. Whftefoot appeared to know just
what she wanted and turned up her
nose at several places Whitefoot
thought would make fine homes. She
hardly glanced at a fine hollow log
Whitefoot found. She merely poked
her nose in at a splendid hole be-
meath the roots of an old stump.
Whitefoot began to grow tired from
running about and climbing stumpe
and trees and bushes
He stopped to rest for moment
and lost sight of Mrs. Whitefoot A
moment later he heard her calling ex-
citedly. When he found her she was
up in a small tree. sitting on the
edge Of an old nest few feet above
the ground. 1t was a nest that had
once belonged to Melody the Wood
Thrush. Mrs Whitefoot was sitting
on the edge of it and her bright eyes
snapped with excitement and pleas

I've found it, she cried. 1--WE
found it! 1t Is just what have been
looking for!'

Of Melody's."
"rve found the homo we've been
looking for. stupid" retorted Mrs.
Whitefoot.
Still Whitefoot stared. II don't
see any home" said he.
Mrs Whitefoot stamped her feet
impatienly. "Right here, stupid"
said she: This old nest viii make
US the finest and safest home that
ever was No one will ever think
of looking fer US here. We must get
busy at once and fix it up
Even then Whitefoot didn't under
stand. Always he had lived either in
a hole In the ground or in a hollow
stump or tree. How they were to
live in that old nest he couldn't see

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
For a Dry Baby

For a Dry Baby.
/. Is 1t all right to let q child
three months old sleep In rubber dia-
pers?
2. What should be done to protect
a young baby from taking cold when
he gets his crib wet? Mrs. K. NJ. j.
, Answer. No. Only absorbent
material "a cloth generally sold as
diaper cloth) should be used and pin
ned on, not vulcanized.
2. A waterproof draw sheet under
the bed sheet protects the bed or crib,
and the small draw sheet may be
changed If wet. OF course. it isn't
a risk of taking "cold," but to keep
the baby comfortable and to prevent
skin irritation.
Sulphur and Mo1asses.
Is it advisable to give a four-year-
old child sulphur and molasses? He
has always had a clear skin, but this
spring his face shows some breaking
out and Is little sallow.-(Mrs. S.
E. J.)
Answer-It is harmless. It is
merely a physic. and has no effect on
the skin or on the blood. Perhaps
the little fellow needs a little sun
shine and a pile Of sand to play in.
Ripe Tomato Sandwiches.
Prepare a French dressing and dip
into it slices of raw tomatoes, peeled.
Lay these between slices of thin
white bread, buttered. Prepare these
sandwiches only a short time before
they are to be eaten, or they will be-
come soggy.

Some Famous japanese Potters.

Japan's greatest ceramic artist was
probably Ninsei. He worked in Kioto
| in the middle Of the seventeenth cen
tury, producing many beautiful pieces
| of jeweled faience with a close, hard
pate, or base, and a yellowish or
brownish white glaze covered with a
network of fine crackle and simple
decorations in pure, rich colors-red,
green. gold and silver.
He probably learned the art OF deco
ration with enamels over the glaze
/ from Hizen, on the eastern coast OF
Japan. where porcelain with blue
under the glaze and colored enamels
| over it had been developed previously
| in the ware generally known as "old

tury to our own day. These families
are all Of Kioto and generally Of the
| famous Awata factories Of Kioto. In
museums and. collections we can see
these names and form some idea of
| what an art carried on through many
generations can become.
Raku Is another famous name in
! Japanese pottery. 1t Is really the
domestic ware of the country and is

temperature. Toward the end Of the
seventeenth century the artist Choryu

Face Steaming.

If you have very bad complexion,
full of pimples. blackheads and ugly
eruptions. you can help it a great deal
by steaming it occasionally. The
steaming. however. should be very
gentle and should be part of a sooth-
ing and healing treatment for the
sensitive skin. The gentlest and best
way to steam the face is to hold over
it a thick towel wrung from very no
water. When this cools 1t should be
wet again and held over the skin un-
til the pores are open and the skin is
flushed red.
Then the cleansing cream is massaged
in If the treatment is for ordinary
blackheads. II the blackheads are
very bad. blackhead cleansing powder
is rubbed into the skin and washed
out afterward with hot water.
II eruptions and pimples are being
treated the face should be held over a
basin of very hot steaming water.
After a moment little sulphur oint-
ment is massaged into the skin and

steamed into the pores to the great
benefit of the irritated complexiou.
Afterward this ointment is wiped of
