YOUR BABY AND MINE
NY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
Summer Travelling with Baby

Summer Travelling with Baby
The easiest baby to travel with
during the summer is the young
breast fed baby. His food is ready
for him and If the mother provides
herself with plenty of boiled water
SO that he may have something pc
side the iced water or the train,
travelling should never be much OF a
bugaboo. In fact travelling is usually
a drowsy job and the baby will sleep
most of the time.
The bottle fed baby Is really a
great problem, especially il his jour
new is to last longer than twenty
four hours. His food is the most
important item and the change Of
milk from one place to another is
more or less fraught with danger in
the hot weather. If possible, and
the Journey is not to last too long,
the mother may put his twenty-four
hour supply of food in a small port
able refrigerator and carry it with
her. The milk should be bottled,
cooled rapidly and kept on ice until
needed. An enamel pitcher which
the porter will fill with hot water
and in which the bottle may be stood
TO heat twill be satisfactory, or
this same pitcher fitted with a piece
of wood at the bottom on which to,
stand the bottle and filled with water

Home-Made

1t is one of the most inspiring
notes of this new season that o
attention is 10 be paid to accessories
and particularly 20 collaE-and-cuff
sets, undersleeves and vestees, all Of
which can be made at home at a
fourth of their cost in the smart
shops.
To be sure, these things are al
way to be had reasonably priced in
coarse materials carelessly made, but
of all articles of woman's dress the
collars and cuffs demand d~aintiness
and as near perfection of finish as
c~Ieverness can give them.
A yard of org. Gie will make from
three to five sets with at least one
vestee, and here is the way one
Young home dressmaker managed:
she spread the organdie (white) on
the table and laid her patterns,
which incidentally were discarded
cuffs and collars Of her OWL n
therefore sure to fit. on the material
pinning them carefully.
There was a set of circular pieces
the edges of which she bound with
a bias linen binding, which comes by
the 10-yard piece, and can be used
for many purposes. This set she re-
served for wear with her black tall
ored suit.
The second set she had pieot
edged, although she might have
bought the lacy picot and run II on
herself if she had thought of 1t. Then
she sewed a band of real lace about
a quarter of an inch from the edges
OF both collar and cuffs. To induce
the lace insertion 10 lie III as II
should, and yet conform to the cir
cular flare of the collar and cuffs,
it was necessary TO overcast the in
side edge of the lace with very fine
stitches after the outside edge had
been basted TO the organdie. Hav-
ing done this, it was easy enough to
sew it down taut. Then repeating
the -overcasting on the underside, she
cut away the organdie, leaving the
lace transparent.
The third set she made stralght
and quite deep, with the collar IN
two sections, ornamenting them with
two nip tucks for a border. In a
fourth set she introduced a carefully
folded band OF checked gingham
lengthwise. half an inch from the
edge.

Man likes to believe that he Is
woman's sturdy protector.
1t probably is a hangover from the
days when he, by reason of his supe-
rior muscle, actually did protect her
from wild beasts that howled about
the family ave.
Down through the more civilized
ages refinements Of living were add

that growls on the doorstep is the
j~anitor.
The protection" idea was about
the last hope of the gallant gentle
men who waged such q long cam

tally just right, men still harbor the
suspicion they are protecting" US
when they discourage from
actual participation in politics.
IT'S perfectly all right for women
to vote" they now concede, particu-
larry when the woman vote" is
needed to swing a victory. But it
is unwomanly for them TO want to
hold Office. Women should be pro-
tected from mud-slinging cam
paigns."
Who else but men start mud-sling-
ing campaigns, anyway? And why
are such tactics necessary to the ad-
ministration of government?
After all, how can women expect
to gain fifty-afty representation on
central committees II they don't
start at home On that same hfty-ffty
basis?

with the material and type of gar
ment they decorate. Remember al
ways that every bit of trimming in
troduced must appear to belong to
the dress, not look as If it were an
afterthought.
The trimming of the waistline by
girdle, sash or belt is most impor-
tant. 1t gives the line to the whole
figure and should be adjusted with
that idea in mind.
As draperies are in fashion again,
remember that they should always
be fixed" by some sort of orna-
men. Otherwise they appear to be
about to come undone.
Lace is in vogue, but use 1t spar
ingly, or else in all-over effects.
Comparatively few women can veal
lace frills. but the majority can
wear it fiat. There are so many
beautiful machine laces that it is
difficult to advise in a selection ex-
cept that it should never be cheap
looking.
Erlbroideries and appliques done
directly on the material have an ell
egance of their W and are quite
within the province of the home
dressmaker. Ribbons, too, are back
again, and / pass on the advice Of
Guilmette, the cleverest of dress
makers:
Make your bow and leave It.
Don't tie and unite 1t. Its careless
ness is its beauty.

MEDDLE," SHE
TELLS MOTHERS-lN-LAW!
BY NEA Service

STATE COLLEGE, Pa.-Mrs.
Sarah S. Farley, just graduated here
with the degree of bachelor of
science although past the half CEN
fury mark in years, has a cure for
mothers-in-law. 1t will make all
relatives concerned contented and
happy, she says. It's this:
"Mothers-in-law shouldn't NEEDLE.
They should have some definite &C.
cupation to keep them away from
the young folks. If they have no
such occupation OF vocation, they
should acquire one"
To prove her contention, Mrs. Far
ley has done exactly what she adj
vises other mothers-in-law to do
and she's happy. She visits her three
son and a daughter regularly-and
her visits are anticipated with Joy.
Twelve grandchildren are her pets.
But she stays away from them
most of the time. She has oeen
making herself scarce by taking up
a course in botany at the State Col
lege here, for which she has just re-
ceived her diploma. Her college
work has kept Der busy enough not
to interfere with her daughters-in-
law and her son-in-law, and she in
tends to continue this by taking up
advanced work in another institu-
ton.
"Of course, ii cannot be expected
that every mother-in-law can or
would care to do what I have done"
says Mrs. Farley. THAT is not at
all necessary. but I do not believe
mothers of married children, when
they a possibly avoid it, have any
reason for sitting idly by. depending
upon the young folks, or bearing
their burdens for them, thus depriv-

80 minutes by subway to Broad

4 minutes walk to Barnard on

That counts time spent in chang
ing cars twice-an hour and IA min
utes morning and afternoon. She
travelled W. hours and a half daily
and spent as much as five hours in
classrooms. And she did much of
her studying on trolley and subway
cars.
"Plucky? Oh, no, just hard work."
says Mrs. Clay. ANY mother can
go to college or do business work If
she knuckles down to the job. It's
easy when you knew it's worth

She thinks It is so much worth
while that now that she has a
bachelor of art degrees she has de-
cided that in a few years she's going
back to college to earn a masters
degree.

Work one cup of butter until
