YOUR BABY AND MINE
Outdoor Sleeping
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Outdoor Sleeping
The baby in addition to twelve
hours of sleep at night should get
two maps during the day. For the
first few months the baby will
sleep from Q until IL o'clock. and
in the afternoon for an hour or
more. Then he will go to bed at
6 o'clock and sleep until 6 O'Clock.
This is not too much sleep. There
is no truth to the saying that: "A
baby oughtn't to sleep its life
away" many mothers repeating
this with the idea that they ought
to try and keep the baby amused
and awake to prevent such a dire
condition. All the multitudinous
repairs of the tiny body go on
during the sleep, and the first year
Of a chi1d's life should largely be
spent in sleep. :.
Sleep will come naturally II
the baby is comfortable and well
fed and the bed and sleeping
room are what they should be;
otherwise 1t may have to be wooed.
First of all, the baby from the
very first, should sleep alone.
There is no excuse for having a
baby sleep with the mother. 1t

NEW YORK, Sept. s:-Almost
every person of note who comes to
New York finds his way eventually
into the Triangle Theater. And that
is because in this tiniest of play
houses, seating barely a hundred
persons and tucked away in a cellar
on the outskirts of Greenwich VII
lage, a woman is carrying on a lone
handed series of experiments which
may revolutionize American stage
tactics.
Lights are the mediums with
which Kathleen Kirkwood works.
The average woman of good looks
prefers to be out upon the stage
where there is an audience to see.
Kathleen Kirkwood is content to sit
huddled away in a dark corner Of
her little theater and play upon an
unpoetic-looking switchboard.
A beggar is moaning On a street
corner. He cries out hands are
choking him. And suddenly huge
shadowy hands do seem to come out
of the air and clutch at his throat.
The audience gets a tremendous
thrill. But it lei only that away
in her dark corner Miss Kirkwood
passed her hands before a strong
projecting lantern.
GeIatine day
A gnar1ed old apple tree stands
in the background. over it passes
the whole course of a day-the deep
blue of early morning, the high
light of oon the flaming reds of
sunset. But the gnarled old apple
tree is merely a few lines painted
upon a lantern slide. The reds, and
blue and yellows that testify to a
days passing are bits of ge1atine
skilfully juggled over a strong white
light.
Miss Kirkwood has borrowed from
the German theater her idea for the
concrete dome which surrounds her
tiny stage and upon which she
throws her many colored lights. The
rest of her effects are original and
may be seen nowhere else in the
world. Her experiments parallel in
a way the experiments which Maude
Adams is making.

fects are simply achieved. they are

Miss Kirkwood was one of the art
editors of the Pictorial Review when
she determined that her love of
color must be turned to practical
account in the theater. All the re-
sources that she had were turned
into equipping the tiny little Tri-
angle. And for months she worked
Intensely. never bothering so much
as to hang out a shingle.
Then Broadway discovered her.
Now Broadway managers come to
her to get their plays in shape. And
after they've been set up and lighted
and tested out in the Triangle they

They Don't Have to Be Handsome
The recently resigned husband of

sweetly solemn thoughts on the di-
vine passion.
He denied that his heart had been
broken and wished the lady we'll
they do arrange these matters so
gracefully in the theatrical world!
"A mar doesn't have to be hand
some to inspire love-" he said. Look
at D'Annunzio. He is little. He is
bald. He is getting old. But he
captivates Immediately"
And that wasn't all. Here's some
more:
THE American woman is a great
pal. She tells you fankly not to
make love to her. And that makes it
possible to talk about the scientific
aspects of astronomy instead of con-
filming the study to ~spoonlng in the
moonlight"
That's a good line about the
scientific aspects of astronomy" In
our limited observation of such
matters we never required any pow
erful telescope to note that the
shieks and the flappers on the
Giant Dip or the Caterpillar Chutes
still INDUCED in the old-fashioaed
custom of holding hands.
They were 100 per cent Americans
too. We knew that because they
were chewing gum.

hold on the youth of the land as an
elective study.

principal topic of conversation for

Woman Kept Down
By Man S False Pride
BY GEORGE BRITT

DI 1EOIb0Et oE1AlI
CHICAGO-There's one woman
preacher, active pastor of a church,
whose husband is a travelling sales
man.
There's another whose husband Is
a steady and prosperous mechanic.
A third has a husband who also Is
a preacher, and on Sundays they go
their separate ways to nearby towns
to serve their own congregations.
But such cases are rare. The rea
son, according to Miss NJ. Madeline
Southland of Winfield, Kas., presi-
dent OF the International Association
OF Women Preachers is mans false
pride. The association just held its
convention here.
In Leash
"a man is afraid someone will
consider him merely rs the husband
of so-and-so'." says Miss Southland.
1T is all right for a wife to take in
washing or be bound to the duties
of her household. But many a
woman of beauty and talent is kept
back simply because her husband
cannot go the same pace with her."
Miss Southland is not complaining
and she isn't discouraged. The min
istry as a calling for women is still
young. She will tell you there are
only about 1900 women preachers of
all denominations in the United
States.
Winning Fight
ut is a little more difficult for
ome to get a hearing at first than
for men," she says. THE old preju-
dices prevail. A oma may sit in
Congress, but the high positions in
the church organization remain al
most entirely a closed corporation
for males. There T many cases
however, where congregations have
accepted women pastors under pro-
test and have given them up with
regret.
"Feminist women mustn't forget
the church in their zeal for other
forms of public activity" warns Miss
Southland. "Women's liberty today
is the result of religion. If women
don't support the church, they are
preparing for the surrender of their
freedom.

Shoe Cabinet
Four dry goods x have been
stacked together to make the cabi-
net for shoes. The entire exterior
surface has been covered with dark
striped chintz while the interior IS
covered with a light-1owered chintz
The curtains necessarily IRE of the
same material as the outside covee
ing OF the cabinet. When the cur
tain is drawn aside the Light chintz
interior renders every object plainly
visible. This cabinet may be used
for household linens or for clothes
as well as for shoes.
The chintz is held to the surfaces
by first squeezing a tube of liquid
glue along the cente OF the Sur
face and spreading 1t cut with a
straight-edged piece of cardboard,
then applying the material, stretch
ing 1t firmly so that there will be no
wrinkles. Do not fear discolora-
ton, as the best quality of liquid
glue may be applied without any
damage.
Chintz Screen and Chair
A very useful and Ornamental
screen may be made Of beaver
board. The one in the sketch ha:
been covered with gayly covered
cretonne bound around the edges
with satin ribbon. Motifs cut from
chlntz are glued to the chair, which
has already been covered with plain
denim. Black ribbon Is neatly glued
or sewed on all edges.
The waste basket was originally
a plain cardboard box, but the ap-
plication of glue and cutout motifs
and ribbon turned it into a decora-
tive accessory. These attractive
touches can readily be given to plain
articles in the home, for every
woman has scraps of silk and bits
of ribbon in her workbasket. All
she needs to do is purchase a tube
of the best quality liquid glue and
use the material she has on hand
to beautify her home.
Telephone Shield
One ean readily make a telephone
shield and address book by cutting
cardboard into the desired shape
and covering it both front and back
with silk to match the decorations
of the room. The shield and book

Newer than hand-painted designs

landed silk, while the basket is made

These are glued neatly TO the sur
face, the best quality of glue being
used and care being taken to apply
the glue at the right place.
