The very latest plans and specifi-
cations for baby toys put speed and
efficiency into the nursery, for by
them baby a be dressed from tai
cum-dusted skin to ermine-trimmed
tOpcoat all at one fell swoop, and
finds himself out in his perambula-
tor viewing the scenery before he
has time to realize hat he is out of
his bath.
In the new layette scheme the
small dainty duds lie upon a bed or
table, and the baby is dropped upon
them. Then a few fastenings are
quickly adjusted and the deed is
done, with a minimum of wear and
tear on the nerves of nurse and
baby.
All the garments are f~ront-closfng
n open all the way down. They
can thus be spread out completely
open, and the correct method is to
spread out first the garment which
will be outside when the dressing is
completed, i. e., the coat if the baby
is to be taken for his airing immedi-
ately, the dress If he is to remain
indoors.
The sleeves of the dress are fitted
into the cleeves of the coat. Next
the petticoat is laid out, with its
armhole exactly inside the sleeve
opening of the dress. Then the shirt
follows, and its sleeves are pulled
into the dress sleeves. Body binder
and diaper are next laid in position.
AS soon as the unsuspecting infant
Is dried from his bath he is laid up
on his waiting clothes. Then. with
out having to turn the little body a
single time, the nurse quickly fast
ems band and diaper, slips the baby's
arms into his shirt sleeves. and 10,
he is all dressed! Nothing remains
but to fasten the various front open
ings. and this takes but about a
minute.

CHAPTER ~

Paul beat his forehead. That
Polly should not be in the fiat

in all Paris could she be! What
mad thing had he driven her to!
Downstairs he plunged, banging
franctically at the concierge's door.
Hours passed, it seemed, before her
kind, sleep-bewildered face appear

But no. monsieur. =" The
poor woman's eyes stared, her hands
lifted in distress and helplessness.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-'Wom-
en- grow up and men do not; a per-
feet world would be one in which
man would be as highly developed
as woman. and wherein she had no
imagination"
That's what Gertrude Atherton,
famed novelist and essayist, wrote.
What enrages me is that Mrs.
Atherton is seriously e~ndeavoring
to prove that wcmen are superior to
men. Nothing can be accomplished
for women in that way. It's prepos-
ferrous, ridiculous. What we want,
and what we must fight for, is equal
ity of the sexes"
That's what Mrs. w. l.. George,
young bride of the English novelist,
replied.
And thus a merry argument was
started.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-03-28

Mrs. Atherton happened to publish
an article, just before Mr.. and Mrs.
George arrived in San Francisco,
that discussed the intelligence of
manor rather his lack of intelli-
gence. 1t also seemed to take a
dig at some of the George theories.
In part, it said:
what is woman's eternal pre-
occupation and eternal disappoint-
ment.
Just because there may be mor
old maids than bachelors doesn't in
dictate that women outnumber the
men. 1t means that she cannot over
come her disappointment upon dis
covering hat men do not grow up
and can never attain her ideal. She
dreams of the perfect maIf-but lives
alone"
And Mrs. George SAYS. in part:
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-03-28

II believe that all women are bet
ter off married and that a woman
should marry even if she cannot find
her ideal. Marriage is the very best
career a woman can have.
"Of course, there are women who
never met the man they considered
desirable as a husband, but there
are Just as many bachelors who new
er found the woman they wanted
for a mate.
"Fhis thing of woman being SUI
perior-no mans good enough-its
nonsense"
So Mrs. Atherton claims m
is superior.
And Mrs. George says she's all
wrong.
Who do you think is right?

More Right.> for Cabinet Members.

The proposal to give cabinet members the
right to seat on the floor of the senate and
house and to participate in debate is again
being considered. President Harding and his
departmental chiefs have also given the mat
ter attention, and it is their unanimous belief
that the privilege should be granted. It is not
intended to make the presence Of cabinet mem
bers on the floor of either house mandatory,
but to give them the privilege Of explaining
measures in which their departments are in
terested and Of answering attacks that may be
made upon them by senators or representatives.
For many congresses bills have been in
troduced making the necessary changes in ex-
listing laws and in the present congress such
measures are pending. Friends of the legis-
lation believe 1t would make for greater har-
mony between the executive and legislative
branches Of the government and contribute to
greater speed in the enactment of legislation.
With the large number Of important bills await
ing the attention Of congress it is doubtful il
the measures granting the privileges of the
floor to cabinet members will be taken up at
the present session, but discussion of the sub
ject now may pave the way for the passage OF
such q bill in the near future.

The Daily Dare.

Because men have loved to take dare
many great exploits have been accomplished
that without the incentive of challenge never
would have been attempted. The quality that
responds to dare is an admirable one if not
misdirected. Without it there would be no
progress in science, commerce, invention or
government. When man no longer cares to
accept dare he may make up his mind that
his creative powers are on the wane He has
ceased to push forward He is on the down
grade. Today the situation in Russia is dare
to some potential leaders TO bring order out of
chaos War is dare to humanity to provide
means Of making it unnecessary The exis-
tence Of courts is a dare to people to be law
abiding. The present strikes in the coal and
transportation industries are dares to the
American people to make better methods effec-
tive.
The prevalence Of crime is dare to the
church and schools to do more effective work
In building up the moral resistance and posi-
tive qualities of the people. Every mans daily
task is dare that challenges him to express
the best he has in him. There is hope for
every man and every nation as long as the
eAoAaene0o VI lie are Sfeeteo Win q determined
effort to meet them and beat them The in
stinct for victory once sent men to war. They
took the dare to conquer by force of arms
Today the instinct for victory is beginning to
send men forth to conquer by the force OF
character, jnstice and brotherhood. Dares were
dangerous In primitive peoples because they
were more impulsive. A dare to modern man il
met by intelligence and good feeling We have
not lost the spirit that welcomes a challenge
