Any advice you can give me will be

Answer

These are so awfully important
from the seventh month on. Most
mothers think they are doing all
that is sufficient when they give the
babies cereals. potatoes, toast, broth
and milk. The first three are the
same kind of food, good enough but
not in excessive quantities. Broth is
a good medium In which to float
vegetables. Clear broth is an appe-
tite stimulant, but as a food II L. just
a little better than water. Broth
("nice hot SOUP mothers call 1t low
ingly) is not a meal for any husky
child.
Feed this way from now until Is

TO shake our heads-Gaellc jigs:
but the Egyptians aim right for the
shoulders.
"The music Of King Tut's day was
practically the same as the negro
spirituals of our. southern states. In
fact. these airs have been handed
down from generation 10 generation
by the earliest slaves. 1t has finally
been corrupted to the jazz OF our
day.
1--WE may find It hard to forgive
old King Tut some of the styles and
the music he is responsible for re-
viving. but we owe him q great deal
IL he makes us walk and stand cor
rectly again." she concluded.
Miss Connolly is demonstrating
the Tut Strut in a new jazz song,
Snakes Hips" in which she struts
instead of dances.

father in Colorado, and the fire they
had to keep all night when they got
separated from the rest of the party
and so On. Nobody did anything but
listen to Hefly and to partake freely
of the refreshments at the same
time. 1t was simply heartbreaking
to watch Millicent's face. She was
just drinking in the story, az we all
were, but she was drinking in the

hustled to get into their rooms be-
fore the hall proctors came around.
So nobody took any polite leave Of
the hostess. Crusty beat 1t off as
saily as the rest.
The next Saturday night we four
found notes on wi dressers. Won't
you share my Easter box tonight at
eight? Crusty." When we got there,
Crusty received US as IL shed been

her hair shampooed and done beau
tifully. and she had had a manicure,
and she was wearing the loveliest
dark red silk crepe house dress
it had some fur on 1t and was a.
stunning thing with her dark soft
hair and her ivory skin, and we'll.
we were all perfectly stunned. The
spread was wonderful, and my dear,
1t included meringues and chocolate
eclairsi
But there was something else that
really clinched Crusty's newly &C.
quired social standing that night, and
that was a perfectly stunning photo
graph in a heavy silver frame, Of the
best looking West Pointer you ever
saw. When she saw us all taking
frequent squints at it, she said
That's my brother Tom. He's just
as splendid as he looks. When he
comes down next week, l want him
to meet you ALL"
Well, I can just tell you that
though Crusty, or Miily. al we call
her now, would have become solid
with us in time IN her own account,
Tom certainly helped IL on!
I can't tell you, Mary g, how
ashamed / am for ever thinking her
so awful, when she was Just dying
with loneliness, and desperate as a
rabbit in a trapl That's enough to
make any girl queer.
She's got a part In our June play,
and she's great in it, a countess, and
she looks the part. Isn't it all just
fine?
Love to F~ive-Fifteen,
TED.
The end Of our tea time has come
all too soon. But there's always a
next time"

There's beauty to find in the air;
You can always think of happy May.
When ends the days trouble and
care.
Look to the morrow, there's beauty

No matter twill never be bright;
You're not to think OF today's des-

Just think of the world as Light.

least not until 1 had tried a poem
on Fiye-Fifteen. She is such an in

was good anyway, and | did want TO
try 1t out on the hard and unfeei-

she does write such peachy letters.
So Five-Fifteen is very much the
better even without my outbursts
in iambic pentameter.
But I am dying to get on with my
story. Mary G., how did you know
it was going to happen? Crusty
HAS cast her shell! It's all SO diff
ferent from what I thought it var.
Poor old Crusty. she certainly had a
rotten deal from life.
Well, acting on your kind sugges-
ton, Mary G., l had a little pow-wow
with AnnieIove and Helly and Glor-
ia, just to see if something couldn't
be done for poor Crusty. She GER

ut is a rival of the Egyptian walk
OF Cleopatra's day. In those ancient
times, music was used only for
marching OF soldiers and to make
the walk of the Egyptian women
more graceful.
Before the debutante SLOUGH, we
had the kangaroo walk terrible
ordeal. 1t forced the stomach in

debutante SLOUGH when the hips

Way TO Reduce
Nov the Tut Strut takes a curse

shoulders are erect and square, but
the stomach Is held in"
The idea is to present a silhouette
Of lines and angles. Elbows are TO

be revealed to you.
To aid this we are going to carry

squeal.
The following describes useful
piece Of apparatus for the radio anna
teur, constructed at a low cost. All
the material can be readily procured
for practically nothing at some motor
garage.
At a friends garage and in the junk
box was discovered discarded front
light reflector from an automobile, an
old aluminium commutator from 1t, a
broken rubber bulb from a motor horn
and some motorcycle spokes with nip
pies attached. These were obtained
free Of cost and brought home.
The first procedure was to clean off
all grease from the reflector. The fiat
fiange at the broad end Of the reflector
was next cut OFF and the surface made
smooth. This left the two beads on the
edge as the finish. The hole In the CEN
ter Of the reflector, through which the
socket Of the lamp passed, had small
fat disk of copper soldered In. The re-
