insist children need and should have
as part of their daily diet the lift
that the lovely thought couched in
beautiful language of poetry can give
them.
When they are very little they like
to learn Mother Goose. The swing of
the rhythm and the chuckle in the
story is dear to them, but as they get
along to the tadpole stage they re-
treat behind the Sedges and coarse
grasses and croak as sturdily as their
elders do, pooh pooh! Don't let them
do that,
Once Vachel Lindsay. good man and
blithe poet, captured q whole school
of them. He read them poem after
poem and they sang with him, laughed
with them, cried with him, distorted
their tails gaily as young tadpoles
should, and when, hoarse and worn to
silence, he could say no more, they
sat in their chairs and repeated
snatches Of THE Potato" and king
Solomon" They're on the lookout
for him and a great reception awaits
him in memory of that grand day of
poetry.
A story-teller from the library
visited the school and read and re-
cited poetry and, behold, they fell in
love with Sandburg. Wasn't that
SOOl OHe Tic LUZ we SOl H6T
to say it over and over so we'd know
it. i wish that man would lose his
way and come to see us, don't you?"
Few children. as Lindsay seems to
know, have the power to, hear the
music of d poem as they read 1t ST.
lently. He reads 'it to them and the
stodgiest tadpole of them all stretches
forth his neck and listens and swal-
lows in ecstatic bliss
Grace Hazard Conklin's poetry Is
full of music and delightful pictures,
but they must be read to the children
If they are to get them; read to them
again and again. Sandburgs work
has to be read aloud, and so does
De LIE Mares.
Get the best poetry for the young
sters and read 1t to them. But please,
before you start, let me warn you.
Don't explain it to them. Should they
ask question, answer it, If you can
But bear in mind that nobody ever
truly did explain the rainbow. It's
a promise of God. You see it really
couldn't be explained. Let's leave it
like that.

We house-bound women must be
very often refreshed" continues my
correspondent. "and it isn't always
possible, as you say, to get out for a
walk in the open. Yet your plan for
shutting off one room at a time and
filling it with fresh air doesn't quite
fill the need, think. In this way
you never really get the direct fresh
air yourself. unless you stay in the
room-and this is what ! have found
to be my solution.
Getting my feet wet and cold, as
one does outdoors in snowy or slushy
weather. doesn't seem to be good for
me, yet I must get outdoor exercise.
So I combine my own personal well

my house by taking what 1 call my

and warns me up.
Five minutes spent in this way at
intervals of about two hours through
the day not only fill me full of vigor
and energy, but keep the air of the
home fresh and pure. Each room Is
shut off from the rest during this
airing. so that the house never gets
chilled. After the windows are
closed again the doors are kept shut
until the heat has reasserted itself.

a big bone with some meat on 1t. Old

mouth watered. But right away he
was suspicious. This glad surprise
was too good to be true. Old Man

Fur Scarf With Tailored Suit
by ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

what are You going to do ebout
the neck line?" is the question that
always presents itself to women
Wnen they are inveigled into buying
mannish--or rather boyish-tail-
Sred suit. If they really wanted to
oe masculine they would wear an
Supstanding linen collar, duly tied in
'front.', and let 1t go at that. But of
course the charm of mannish clothes
as they are worn today is not that
'they really make you look more mas
culsne, but more feminine by contrast.
And women-most of them-seem
70 know instincuvely that they don't
look their feminine best without
something in the way of scarf to
relieve the severity of the neck line
OF the strictly tailored suit that
ORossen has made the fashion of the
hour in Paris.
The printed cravat. which seems
10 be. q silk handkerchief or scarf
inEenfously drawn about the neck.
Is the solution to the problem that
is most frequently seen in the shop
windows. But it is safe surmise
that many of these stock scarfs will
be bought and essayed and then dis
carded. They look smart-they are
smart-but somehow there are more
American women who don't look
who do. Then there is the magic
feel Of fur: Il always like to
feel a bit OF fur about my neck"
women will say, not knowing that
they are giving voice to a world -old,
primitive craving of women for ami
NAL peltry.
Not to detract from the smartness
OF the suit, the fur piece must be
severely simple and not too large.
The usual two-skin scarfs will be
worn. but rather newer is a perfect
~ plaip oblong of fur tied securely
at one side.

remarked Betty in surprise, looking
closely at the old fashioned nosegay.
"The flowers are paper!"

Cecille. when it comes time for re-
freshments I'll give a flower to each
person. They'll soon discover that
the flowers unroll into slips of paper,

Cecille's hat and dress are yellow,

it was syphilis. Is that true? ! am

A moral which may be drawn from
the story Is that laymen should leave
medical literature severely alone for
the best interest of their health and
peace of mind. There Is no mischief
capable of working more havoc than
an attempt on the part of the layman
to study doctor books or to read de-
scriptions Of Diseases or their symp-

OF wisdom for the layman to study or
read nothing relating to disease or
health unless the reading matter has
been approved by his family physi-
clan So much printed matter dealing
with disease and health is wrongly
inspired nowadays that it is really
unsafe to put confidence in anything
or the kind unless 1t has the sane
ton or approval OF some proper
qualified censor such as the family
doctor.
Right away somebody will remark
that some family doctors are incapa-
BILE Of passing intelligently upon such
reading matter, since the doctors
have not familiariZed themselves with
the great mass of printed matter
dealing With these subjects. That Is
often quite true. but If the doctor has
not had time or inclination to inves-
tigate all the publications personally
he has available responsible sources
of information. So has the laity
in general. For example any
body may send a query of
this kind along with stamped
addressed envelope for the reply, to

MEASLES NOT TRIVIAL
Measles Not Necessary and Time viii
Come When Epidemic Of Measles
WILDE Disgrace to a Community.

In the meantirns Ne do have
measles and it 10 most liable TO
be prevalent during the winter
months.
You as q parent have q distinct
duty 10 perform IN the presence
OF this rnaiady.
Remember, therefore, that
measles is q dangerous and very
contagious disease.
Watch for the first signs, which
are sneezing. running at the noge
and slight cough. The eyes look
red and watery and the light hurts
them.
Remember that it Is during this
early period that others are Most
Liable to catch the disease.
The disease starts with but
little fever. In a day or two the
skin becomes very hot, the
tongue becomes covered by a
furry coating and the throat
grows very red. About the
fourth day, red spots begin to
appear on the forehead and face
and soon spread down over the
entire body. The spots form
large red blotches and itch.
In the presence OF these con.
ditions, especially IL there are
other cases OF measles in the
neighborhood, II Is your duty to
do several things and do them
promptly.
Keep the child indoors and
away from other children Of. the
family.
Send for the doctor and do
what he says.
Keep the light out Of the
7 child's eyes by keeping him in an
airy darkened room, or the eyes
may be affected.
Give the child only light food
and keep the bowels open.
Keep your child's eyes, ears.
mouth and nostrils perfectly
clean. Gather the discharges
from your child's nose and throat
and ears in clean rags ana burn
them.
When the rash fades, the skin
viii begin to peel and may con.
tinuo to do SO from several days
to q few weeks, according to the
severity OF the case. When the
skin begins to peel, oil the ten
der places and battle the patient
in warm water with some soda
in it. Do not let the child get
up until the temperature has re-
turned to normal and the doctor
gives his permission.
