FOR SUMMER
WEAR
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

IN HE problem Of Just what 10
wear under ones smart
l. frocks, skirts. suits, Is in
creased somewhat in the summer
months, for with the strong re-
lentless sunlight. one must find
shadow proof garments that in no
way mar the perfect grace OF the
silhouette. II one is at all in
clined to be stout. she will not
want to add an inch to her ap-
pearance. and the thin girl does
not need to be so particular about
the type Of underthinSs she
selects.
A women who Is really quite
stout. is known FOR her trim ap-
pearance, and recently she slowed
me some new underskirts sne had
made TO wear under sheer suuhner
kirts and frocks. She takes
ioubIe white crepe or chine and
uakes a narrow casing at the top.
md through this an elastic is run.
\ plaCket 10 cut at the back. and a
tring hook and eye finishes the
Jelt. The bottom Is hemstitched
either in a straight hem or is cut
in pretty scallops. This skirt is
made from the width Of the
material thus having only one seam
md this in the back. Canton
,repe might also be used if one
prefers.
SILK jersey is excellent for wear
under the silk frock, but 1t Is not
shadow.proof. Washable satin
made with a double panel front
and back makes ones underskirt
shadow proof.
To wear under the suit or heavy
dress there is nothing SO practical
as the knee-length pantelettes. and
the stout woman will appreciate
these =" they give her a graceful
foundation.
The costume slip is excellent to
wear under a sheer one-pieCe froCk
and this may be made shadow
proof. The upper part is fashioned
with a deep camisole effect sus-
pended from shoulder straps. and
cut to fall considerably below the
normal waistline. The lower
section then may be made double
and hemstitched to the upper.
The fastening might be concealed
under the left side. Flesh, white
or navy blue is practical for the
costume slip.
The brassiere is another item
that one must pay particular at
tention to. especially II stout. The
newest models give one flat
boyish appearance and are alb
solutely boneless. Heavy satin in
flesh or pink Ia practical and
wears unusually well.
Sateen is excellent for the woms n
who cannot afford silk under.
wear, and it may be used for
either slip or underskirt. Hem.
stitching, picoted edge and hand.
embroidered scallops are among
the trimmings suitable for the
sateen underwear.

For Children
Travellers
By Loretto G. Lynch.

I'm France there Is legislation
pending with special regard
Il to children travellers. The
railways want to put on sleeping
cars for the exclusive use or
mothers or nurses travelling with
babies or small children.
The children's beds are to be
small with guarded sides. Here a
baby may enjoy a good cry with
out bringing upon his head the
condemnation Of the adult trav-
eler. But this arrangement ~
not being effected for the benefit
Of the adult.
II seems that many Partisan
mothers do not take care of their
babies themselves. They adver-
tise for country women TO come
and take baby out TO the country.
These nurses travel with their lit.
tie charges In third.class coaches.
As these are not in the A class
for sanitation and comfort, tho
government feels that here many
babies get the first germs OF dis
ease. And when ones populat on
Is badly depleted, the saving Of
each and every baby becomes Of
paramount importance.
Now how about our own Amer.

home there Is no place that a baby

Our Dental

DR.. Percy r. Howe, who is con-

food OF vitamins, iron and lime.
There are three great groups of
vitamins, A, r, and G. Deficiency

is the lack OF vitamin c particu.

The lime and iron needed TO

may be derived from a diet rich

get away with It.
But while really beautiful

when in a rage, a plain woman
assuredly would be. A beautiful
woman might not be unattractive

rage, but she certainly would be
IL one saw her In that state more
than once.
And the discouraging thing
about losing ones temper Is that
after the first few slips 1t be-
comes harder to control.
It is generally conceded that to
be thoroughly attractive and at all
times appealing. woman must
appear unruffled and cheerful
and must always have perfect con-
troll of the situation.
Now, if you have seen some one
whom you greatly respected and
admired in such a show OF temper
that her features were distorted
and their attractiveness tempo
rarily gone, you have probably
never been able 10 forget how she
looked.
This twisting OF the features.
which bespeaks lack Of poise and
discipline, is a deadly enemy TO
beauty.
No matter how irritated or
angry you may have occasion to
feel, try not to let this emotion
creep into your expression II
mars your beauty temporarily. II
makes you more prone to give way
to anger at some other time. ana
1t really gives you less self-control.

usual poise and balance, you will

as angry, after all, as you thought
you were. Thus. you save your
self mental wear and tear and you
save your facial muscles a large
share of strain.
The most beautiful actresses
warn us that too much working
of the facial muscles gives lines
to the face and prevents 1t from
remaining young.
They strive TO convey their feel
ings by their eyes rather than by
the muscles OF their faces. They
say il is as easy to let the light in
the eyes denote JOY or humor as
II is to overwork the facial muscles
in conveying these expressions.
Never carry this gospel to the
extent OF letting your expression
become unnatural. but save your
self as much as you can.

FOR FUTURE
HAPPINESS
BY VIM. A. McKeever-
.HE country is now plentifully

supplied with young lovers.
- eighteen.year-olds and twenty
year-olds, who are engaged and
who believe that a simple mar.
riage ceremony would suffice to
make them happy ever after.
wards" But would 1t? Let us
consider.
Now the betrothal of such
youthful lovers is always unrea.
soned, being brought about bv
the mere accident Of their close
acquaintance and based on mere
impulse and emotionalism.
Moreover. no twenty.year-old
boy or eighteen-year-old girl is
really grown. About one-half of
each Of them is still unawakened.
To each there will likely come
new interests and new opportuni-
ties which lead far away from
the other. Incompatibility will
NATURALLY follow.
- And yet the real test OF the
future happiness and security of
a youthful marriage is easily
made II one knows how human
nature asserts itself after the su.
perficialities of politeness and the
shamming Of the courting period
are laid aside. Try these rules on
young infatuated lovers:
First. do they agree in the en-.
Joyment OF some kind OF solid
and substantial helpful occupa-
tion-good music, high-class lit.
erature, the study of art, the cul.
ture of flowers?
Second, do they possess a ma.
i've interest in the same general
class OF business or work so that
each can supplement and en-.
courage the other during the en-.
tire active business period Of life?
Third. do they enjoy about the
same class of friends and social
companions? Not pretense, but
inner sanction is the necessary
quality here.
Fourth. do they enjoy about
the same class Of church affilia.
tions? 1t is not a question Of one
temporarily attending or tolerat.
ing the others church. It is the
deep, voluntary interest that is in.
volved.
Any ordinary healthy young
couple can enter upon maria ge
and imagine they are living hap
ply together for the first few
months. But after that they will
settle down to natural reactions
and will dwell in peace and har-
mony on the basis Of the common
stock of interests--or the lack of
them as listed above.

gagged couple to be a genuine case
