Woman and those of careless figure

In any case, a lining is the first
consideration, and except sometimes
in washable frocks, a lining, il not
always an essential, is an advantage
as it correct placing of
shoulder seams and belt line.
Fortunately, Innings provided with
snaps or hooks and eyes can be pur-
chased ready made in thin silk or

bother making them. II the size is

Round shoulders cause the dress

a lining. and then the outside, cut to
normal measurements. making what

YOUR BABY N MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER KLDRED
To the Expectant Mother

AZ NAA0
The dangers of child birth are
terrifying to the little new wife
awaiting her first experience in
motherhood. So many people feel
1t their duty t. talk in hushed
whispers of their awful expert
ences-and are ready by yelled al
lusions to frighten the wife into an
appreciation of what is about to
happen to her. For IN person who
has nothing but optimism to spread
there are dozens who make life
miserable during this period.
Very few persons are interested
in this condition until 1t Is a per-
sonal one-and then they find, as it
seems, that the whole world is full
of superstitions and tales which they
hear with horror and listen to and
believe.
The best advice n can give the
~expectant mother is to listen to no
one and believe nothing except what
your own doctor tells you. The doc
tor should be chosen as soon as your
condition is suspected and his adj
vice should be sought and followed
from that time until the ordeal is
past. Shut your ears politely to
everything that is said to you The
doctor will tell you all the necessary

sunsets we have at home, her friend replied. 'Ohi every
