When | Was In Town
The Other Day

l did a good deal of shopping
around" That is a luxury that /
don't always have time for. Like
most suburbanites, I go in with a
list that takes me from Ninth street
to Forty-seventh, and 1 have four
hours at the most in which to ac-
complish my carefully planned cam
pa1gn of shopping for the house and
the amily.
This particular day ] was looking
for plain tailored silk blouse at
one of the best known stores on the
Avenue. y sales girl showed me the
nearest thing she had to the blouse
l described, and mentioned the price
within a few cents of ten dollars.
The silk was fairly good, but the
blouse was stitched with cotton (sev-
eral skips in the stitching around
the armholes), the buttonholes down
the front and on the cuffs were made
with cotton, and the sleeves were
cut just bit too scant for the arm
holes. In other words the blouse
wa sof decidedly inferior quality
and it was being offered for sale at
the price of a first quality garment.
If it had been on sale as a special
at $2.95, that would possibly have
been fair price for it. L pointed
out these shortcomings to the sales
girl very patiently, and said I ex-
pected a well-made blouse for ten
dollars.
Now at good stores one expects
good things when one is paying a
good price for them. / wondered
who did buy these blouses of infer
ior tailoring. Perhaps uburbanites,
like myself, who had a limited
amount of time to spend in shop
ping around, or business girls, who
had to replenish their wardrobes by
doing their shopping during their
lunch hour, and were therefore still
more pressed for time.
u think there is only one remedy
for the shopper in a rush. That is to
reform by taking more time for her
shopping. BY refusing t. ouy goods
Of low quality at outrageously high
prices, every woman can help to
raise the standard of quality Of
goods put on the market.
One has a right to expect her
moneys worth for her money, and
the discriminating buyer gets her
moneys worth or she doesn't buy.
There may be decrease in prices
since we began to talk about the
high cost of everything" / have
heard of such a decrease, but have
not yet seen any evidence of it. On
the contrary, things seem to be
steadily mounting in price. The only
hope for the woman who shops is
in her becoming critical and delib-
crate in all her buying. Let's stop
being "easy marks"

Another ghost laid!

Another ghost laid!
"Oh, no, women won't vote be-
cause they won't tell their ages.'
| Remember the old argument?
Election clerks tell different
story. Nowadays the high-brow poll
teal writers are busy telling what
"the women are going to do" and
how the politicians are afraid of
their influence.
1t doesn't look as if there had been
much reticence about the age ques-
ton. "Only an exceptional woman
protested" said one official who hap
pened to be a woman herself. 1.-The
great mass of them apparently gave
the matter not a thought nor cared
a smidge."
The old formula was that man
is as old as he feels and woman
as old as she looks. In these days
of while-you-wait rejuvenation meth
ods, it is now the men who are get
ting fussy about the age question.
The revised version now reads, "A
man is as old as he looks while a
woman is as old as man thinks she
looks"
Ages are arbitrary things anyway.
We've known a lot of sedate eighteen
year-olds, who could give any society
dowager a few pointers on dignity of
conduct. And we've also known few

YOUR BABY AND MINE

You are always emphasizing regu-

When my baby came she weighed
only trifie over five pounds, and
when she was two months old she
still looked like tiny corpse, weigh
ing only little over seven pounds.
But / never lost faith. In spite OF
the protests of well meaning friends
and relatives I followed strict
schedule religiously.
She is 81 months old, eats only
certain things at certain times, has
everything now as systematically as
when she was a little baby. And
such baby. She weighs twenty
nine pounds, perfectly proportioned,
scored SO" in the last baby show
and she never fuses about the or

She has quite a violent temper
and flies into tantrums which never
last long. / ignore them. Is there

Nutrition Expert
Tells Of Nursing

Do mothers realize how tremen-
dously important they are? How
vitally the very life OF their chill
dren is bound up in them? In no
part of the child's life is this more
true than in infancy, for frequently
the very life of the baby depends on
the ability of the mother to nurse
him.
We know, says DIR. Florence Pow
dermaker, nutrition specialist Of ths
State Agricultural College, that the
death rate for the first year of bot
tle-fed babies is between three and
four times as great as Of breast-fed
babies. Mothers milk was made for
babies stomachs and cows milk for
calves, and no amount OF modifying
will lever make the two alike.
Mothers milk is superior, not only
because it just suits her individual
baby and because the supply reacts
to the demand, but also because 1t
protects the baby against disease.
1t is an absolutely clean product and
its value is shown in many ways.
Just one-27 times as many bottle
fed babies suffer with diarrhea as
do breast-fed babies! Then, too. II
the mother is immune to certain dis
eases she confers that immunity to
her baby through the milk.
Best of all, almost every mother
can nurse her baby. Large numbers
of women have been studied and 1t
has been shown that 96 per cent or
mothers can nurse their babies en-
tirely at least one month and SO per
cent for three months, and ~ per
cent for six months or longer. There
are a few simple factors that she
should undertand, few rules to fol-
low. These will be discussed next
week.
