ODD OCCUPATIONS

Let me enumerate for you a list, which have come
across in my reading, of various odd occupations filled by
women. 1t may prove interesting and possibly helpful to my
readers. 1t will at least prove the versatility, ingenuity and
originality of the sex.
Miss Yeomans is known all over California as a butter
fly catcher. She runs an international butterfly exchange
and finds it profitable.
Mrs. Mary Shannon is a section boss on the Erie Rail
road. She took her husbands position when he died, and
has filled it we'll.
Mrs. Ida Freligh, a normal school graduate, is a success
full tug boat owner and manager.
Mss Virginia Smith, of New York, bathes cats for the
members of the Four Hundred who have a fondness for feline
pets. At one cat show all but one OF the prize winners were
her clients, and she is prosperous.
The real name of the Hester street woman who is known
as Old Sal" and has saved about 5000 IN the strange busl-
ness of matching buttons is not known. Over the door OF her
place is the sign 'Any Button Matched Inside, l ct. to D cts
From dressmakers she secures her buttons and you know
dressmakers can afford to sell buttons cheap.
Mrs. Eugenia A. Golf became known by drafting maps
in Washington, d. c.
Miss Mary e.. Adams is Assistant State Microscopic of

YOUR BABY N MINE
Feeding the Baby
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
Mrs. e. p. Writes:

Mrs. e. p. Writes:
My baby is thirteen months old
and weighs twenty-one pounds. !
nursed him for five months and then
put him on matted milk. At sever
months l gave him part COWS milk
and later he entirely weaned himself
of the matted milk. He did 20 well
that l did not give him vegetables,
potatoes, bread, etc, and now he will
not eat them. lie spits them out
or gags until he throws up. l have
tried to fix them in every posi-
ble-Way. He likes sweets and fruits.
l never put sugar in his milk. Was
this wrong? He takes from five to
six bottles OF eight ounces of milk
daily.
He never learned to creep and
at one year l put him in a walker
and he soon learned to push himself
about. But his ankles turn in.
Is it harmful to continue with the
walker? He has four teeth up above
and four below, all cut since eight
months Of age.
The open space in his head is
extremely large, in fact almost as
big as when he was a baby. Is
it normal? DO you think he lacks
in bone making material.
Answer
Here is rs good an indication
as one could wish to find that foods
without milk are injurious to the
developing child. Now you are maxi
ing an added mistake of Calling to
give the child the right food for his
age, and the result is a retarded
development and very likely ricketts,.
Please send me a self-addressed
and stamped envelope and let me
send you the feeding leafet. Also
start giving the baby emulsion of
cod liver oil, which is rich In the
minerals he is SO lacking. Po-
tatoes are unnecessary, but carr
rots, spinach and such vegetables.

Buckwheat is particularly a win

A luncheon of buckwheat cakes

ing dissolve soda in a little warm
water and beat into batter. Let stand

A sculptor predicts that art lovers
several centuries hence will turn to
the advertising pages of the current
magazines to discover the nature of
our artistic productions.

stage he says, land the most vital
expression of art today is in our
advertisements and not in the art

1t isn't hard to visualize the be-
goggled professors of future polk

our high-level bridges. and our thir-
ty and forty story buildings, search
ing for relics.
Maybe they will open up a few
cornerstone and find innumerable
treasures, such as a sample of our
go-getter magazines.
What will the art-loving profess
sor say when he sees the innumer-
able photographs of male pop
ulation in one-button underwear?
Who can describe his emotions up
on seeing the picture of the hand
some football hero gulping down
great slabs of buttered bread in a
manner certainly not approved by
the Sweet Lady in the etiquette book
on the next page?
Will his esthetic soul be stirred by
sympathy when he reads about the
beautiful young lady in the ballroom
who is avoided by all her gentleman
friends after one dance? Or the
young man who lever called again ?
And what about the pictorial
plight of the young man who could
MT qualify for the big league, So
cially, because he persisted in read
ing the sport page instead of Ben
evenuto Cellini?
We're going to violate all the rules
of celestial or satanic good form and
come back and haunt that beauty

The difficulty of making a skirt
hang straight when it fits low on
ones hips and is worn without a
corset has created such garments as
these.
They are skirts attached to very
long camisoles or even three-quar-
ter-length slips. Where the blouse
ends the skirt begins and there is
no extra clumsy thickness caused by
their Overlapping, as there would be
if a skirt with a normal waistline
were worn with a low-wasteid
blouse.
One of the sketches shows a
straight slip with only a wide panel
around the bottom. This is intend
ed for one of the new very long
Chinese blouses. The other shows a
heavy skirt attached to a long CANT
sole and may be worn with tailored
and semi-tailored waists.
