Two being partners for the dance. An
amusing feature in this favor idea
is that the trinkets are apt TO be in

the partners. For instance. a fan j.

NY to sec the man fourishing one as
he goes about trying TO match il
and secure his partner
The other way Of running the favor
dance Is to have the fayors dispiayed
on table as in the old ootillon
days. Each man makes his selection
and presents II to the lady Of his
choice for the dance. This IS more
fatterinG to the lady. but sometimes

still a third way is for the fayors
TO be all alike for the men and all
alike for tho ladies, and one be pre-
eented by tho hostess TO each person
attending the dance. The favors can
be on I table presided over by the
hostess or she can take them about
in dainty basket and distribute
them just before the dance. Again.
fans are delightful favors for the
ladies. Little bill folders make ap-
propriate gifts for the men.
The favors may be numbered and

identical numbers then become part

1t is thought best for me TO have

I trust that 7 am not too late to
be Of any service to you in the mat
ter of diet. Ny correspondence is so
large that sometimes letters get
showed underl
My suggestion about the type of
food for you to eat after your teeth
are drawn would be to pay a good
deal of attention to strained veGe-
table soups made with part milk and
also cereal soups, such as oatmeal
cooked with tomatoes.
Then there are baked cereal dishes,
such as rice baked with cream sauce
and cheese, hominy prepared in the
same way, etc. The cheese should
be the ordinary American variety,
slightly dry and very fine.
Another suggestion is TO have bak ed
scalloped vegetable dishes, such as
scalloped potato, Il vegetable cereal
made of dry pea or bean pulp, etc.
If consistent kindly send me your
articles on diet pertaining mainly to
rheumatism, as I know ! have it in
my knee joint-H. W. p.
You say that you have rheumat tism
in your joint. This chronic rheuma-
tis,n IS a form which is different from
GGut, although many authorities
gree that it is very similar. 1t may
be caused by II chronic infection and
ii is likely to be accompanied by
Inainutrition.
Your first care must be to keep
yourself very we'll nourished so as
to throw off the infection which
causes rheumatism. Next, your chief
care should be TO restrict the guam
tity of meat and sweets. You are also
better without alcohol.
The diet should be laxative, and
great care should be taken to keep
the bowels thoroughly emptied every
day. The diet should also be nom
toxic; that is, one that will not easily
form poisons in the digestion.

This will acknowledge your letter
with your question about your =
year-old child. Without knowing
more about her I should think that
the vomiting may come simply from
an unusually sensitive stomach. I am
taking for granted, of course, that
You are feeding her the right food
and that there is no indigestion.
Sometimes digestive trouble with
little children comes from overfeed-
q.
serving food in too large portions
For example, 2year- -old baby
should have for breakfast Il table
spoonful Of orange juice. one slice of
milk toast and one OF dried toast, a
cup Of warm milk and soft cooked
egg. On alternate days serve three
tablespoonfuls OF wheat cereal in
stead of the milk toast.
The dinner should be two table
spoonfuls OF baked potato, three
tablespoonsuIs Of beef juice, TWO
tablespoonfSls of vegetable pulp, Il
slice of toast and three tablespoon
fuls Of custard with water 10 drink.
For supper, three poonfuis Of
cereal with two spoonfuls OF thin
,reAm, "A cup OF warm milk and one
half slice of bread.
Naturally, these foods would be
somewhat varied from day to Gay.
The portions which I have outlined.
however, are typical and should not
be Increased until the child is several
months older.
