nIETITIANS declare that the aver
age boy or girl of four years
should receive about forty calories a
pound of body weight per day. The
average weight of child of four years
Is forty pounds. Therefore the total
caloric requirement would be ap-
proximateiy 1000 calories. Calory Is
merely the name for a certain meas
ure of heat derived from the burning
Of food.
Necessarily, the caloric requirement
OF the child is dependent on his
temperament, since child who plays
hard and long requires more nourish-
ment than one who leads a quieter
life. Rate Of growth also has bear
I Ing on caloric requirements. The
child who Is growing rapidly should
be given more food to meet his caloric
needs than the boy or girl whose
growth is normal.
Mothers know the daily diet should
consist Of the essential foodstuffs, pro-
TEN, carbohydrates, fats, minerals ana
water. The important thing for her Is
to learn the foods that contain these
essentials in balanced diet. Below

Reckless Truth.

heckleSS 4rutn.
Ruth at first created a tremendous
amount of talk. When the boys FIRST
met her you heard their startled. half
admiring comments about this Inadly
reckless young person who dares to
do the most amazing things and who
risks her life daily by hair-raising ex.
ploits.
+. The boys like that-they call her a
good sport and encourage the other
girls to emulate her example.
But the other girls, If they are wise,
refuse to initiate their courageous sis
ter. For they have seen the effects of
Ruth's recklessnesS on the boys who
have known her for q long while, and
they know she Is playing losing
game.
Ruth loves sports-she adores swim
ming at least 4 mile out OF sight OF
the rest of the crowd. On several oc-
casions. though. she's had to be res
cued and that has been such arduous
labor for her male companions that
they've rather given up pratsing her
aquatic feats.
Then she's fond Of riding. and re-
fuses to mount just plain. ordinary
horse. but always insists on a spirited
,, animal known to be dangerous.
Every one was rather enthusiastic
about Ruth's courage in the matter
Of riding when one day she was
thrown and rather badly hurt
The effect of her fall was to cast q
gloom over the whole house party
which she was attending. and many
OF the younger members of the crowd
were heard to remark bitterly that il
Ruth would only take care of her silly
neck she'd create far less trouble.
She drives q car like a speed demon,
which Is all very we'll in it's way--only
the two accidents she has suffered
have resulted in injuries to the un-
fortunate people who happened TO be
driving with her.
Starting out for a dance one night,
that flight Of stairs. I'm going to
jump the last 10 steps" and forth
with did so at the cost Of a sprained
ankle. which. OF course. prevented her
going on to the dance-and entirely
broke up the party.
People have wearied SO of Ruth's
recklessness that they're really get
ting rather bitter about 1t. The boys
who have known her long enough to
be unenthusiastic about her gp" cour.
age complain that you're never com.
Portable with her because you can't
tell what new attempt at suicide she'll
be making next.
Ruth's sort Of courage isn't really
admirable after all. It's rather a form
Of self-exploitation. Ruth saws to her
self, with a complacent grin: This
will make them gasp" and she rushes
headlong into some foolhardy esca-
pade with no regard for her friends or
companions.
Nowadays the boys who once called
her good sport are wont to remark
"Ruth's not a good sport-she's just a
plain darn fool
Mimi will be glad to answer your love
questions. Just tnclose stamped, addressed

a bill of pain to be met. 1t cannot
be avoided: If the pleasure is taken
1t will have to be paid for. and this
one is paid for in terms Of unstable
and aching nerves.
If you have a fidgety child. who
tosses and turns and refuses to com.
pose himself to sleep take him to
the bathroom and give him warm
bath. Instead of briskly rubbing him
and talking snappily to him. pat him
dry and talk in gentle tones. sleepy
tones, saying the same thing over and
over much as a sleepy robin calls
the same sleepy note over and over
until he puts his head under his wing
and sleeps. Pat the child dry; repeat
some gentle nursery rhyme while you
pat and stroke and powder him. Then
put him in the darkened room to sleep.
Many children do not go to sleep
after going to bed because they have
been so thoroughly awakened before
retiring. If there is to be a play

Tickling.

Better not tickle children. And bet
ter not allow children to tickle each
other. Tickling reaches down to sensi-
tive nerves and lays the foundation
for Z nervous condition.
Nurses sometimes tickle children to
make them forget their tears and
smile. Usually the baby will stop
crying and smile. But the smile will
most likely be followed by storm
Of tears worse than the first because
of nervous reaction likely to follow.

damage to his nerves. Tickling is not
SO safe and not so sure.
Children love to frolic bit before
settling down for the night, and the
10 and IL year olds like to have
pillow fights and raids and nightgown
parades. That is fine fun and the
children are entitled to such a treat
now and then. 1t is far better than
to hush them to bed where they will
lie and tickle one another to the point
of hysteria. Once they go to bed
they should go to sleep. All the frolic
and fun should be over ahead Of sleep
time Try to make provision for that
in sending a family Of half-growr
children to bed.
Some children are often soothel
by having some one gently tickle
them to sleep. That is not good for
them. II is going to make them very

This was the beginning of Peters
idea, and he soon got so interested in
it that he could think of nothing else.
He could hardly take time to eat prop
erly, and when Peter neglects his
stomach he is very much interested
indeed. It was beautiful weather
You know October is Il very beautiful
month. It was just cool enough to
make Peter feel good. He couldn't
have SAT still if he wanted to. He
lust had to be hopping about.

he's doing. He's thinking of his
stomach all the time. It's a good
thing to think of once in while, but
I shouldn't want to think of it all the
time. But that's Busters way of get
ting ready for Winter. Johnny Chuck
is lust like him, and Bobby Coon isn't
much better. All those fellows can
think of just now is stuffing them
selves until it looks as If their coats
must split. The Squirrel cousins
think more Of work than they do of

thing. I'll begin with Striped Chip

So Peter started at once for place
where he knew that Striped Chipmunk
was sure to be found. Striped Chip
munk was there. When Peter came
in sight of the place he saw Striped
Chipmunk running for the old Stone

Gowns in Two Pieces for Evening
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Sometimes the two-piece or jumper
evening gown follows the lead Of the
sports jumper frock in having
straight pleated skirt beneath the
jumper. This type of frock Is shown
In the sketch-of white georgette
brocaded in silver. with pleated skirt
and perfectly plain, straight.line jump
er bodice, sleeveless and with very
moderate decollettage.
Sometimes the skirt and bodice por-
ton are made of two different ma
terials. Sometimes metal brocade Is
combined in this way with chiffon
velvet. A blouse of metal cloth may
be combined with panne or rayonne
velvet skirt. One interesting little
frock has a blouse Of silver brocade
and a skirt of deep blue velvet. A
touch of velvet Is also found on the
bodice. Sometimes the skirt Is OF
pleated crepe with a scarf of the same
material, while the bodice is of silver
or gold lace. An interesting little
jumper frock suitable for dinner and
rather informal evening wear shows
a short little black velvet skirt with a
jumper top of black satin embroidered
In silver.
The jumper frock and the princess
frock are interesting fashion develop
ments of the season, and of the two
the jumper alone is in danger Of being
too popular. 1t is easy to wear and
SO tempting to the woman who makes
her own clothes. For her 1t has as.
sured advantages. and she acts wisely
If she takes advantage of this fashion
while 1t is still very new. For the
evening jumper frocks may still be
reckoned as really new. In this she
has a chance to make use Of short
lengths of rich material-metal bro
cade, velvet and chiffon brocade, gold
or silver lace, metal lace. and all the
other gorgeous materials which fash.
ion has decreed for evening gowns
this season.
