You rarely spoke to me down at the

you didn't want to be bothered with

Your Baby and Mine
Improving Breast Milk.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

This article Is intended primarily
for those mothers who feel that their
tiny infants are not gaining fast
enough on the breast milk and yet
who are trying to improve their own
diet rather than wean the baby. We
want to shout loudly for this method,
as we feel always that If mothers gave
the time and attention to improving
their own supply Of milk, instead of
agonizing over bottle feelings, that 1t
would be a big step forward in baby
feeding. OF course no one needs to
be told any more that there is nothing
so good as mothers milk for baby,
no formula known can possibly equal
1t, and it behooves the mother IL her
supply is inadequate to try and ampl-
fy it: meanwhile using a coplemen-
tary feeding to satisfy the baby.
Regularly in feeding Is one sure way
OF stabilizing the supply. The breasts
will begin to sacrete milk when nurs'
ing time is nearly due and IL the baby
does not nurse, the secretion is grad
ually reabsorbed and next time nature
does not send forth so abundant u
supply. If q child is nursed at any and
all hours he cannot possibly get as
good and satisfying feeding, and
therefore he is hungry and crying "a
gain in an hour or two. Not only IS
this ruinous to his digestion. for it
takes three hours to completely d.
gest milk, but 1t hurts the milk sup
ply.
1t is better. for the milk supply. for
this very reason, for the mother to
nurse a baby on both breasts each
nursing, especially If she has a scant
supply. Draining both breasts each

nature to send q more ample amount
for it is true of mothers. as It is of
cows. that the greater the demand,
the greater the supply.
A nursing mother, then, must slim
ulate the breasts regularly every three
or every four hours; II she has
scant supply she must have the baby
nurse both breasts at each nursing.
II the milk is too rich the mother
should exercise more; increase the
time between feelings; give some
boiled water before a nursing, and
cut down her own intake Of fats.
If the milk is not rich enough. do
the very opposite. Eat more rich and
nourishing foods; take more rest.
All liquids increase the amount Of
milk in the breasts but the best
liquids for the nursing mother are
milk or cocoa, not tea or coffee.
The nursing mother should eat
three wholesome meals a day. This
means just good plain food and at
least u pint of milk to drink. II the
supply is still inadequate she can eat
before she goes to bed a generous
cereal dishful Of oatmeal cruel or
cornmeal Cruel, with plenty Of milk.
She can make this thin enough to
drink and drink.a glass between lunch
and dinner. This will help the supply
noticeably.
Any good food which does not up
set the mothers digestion is all right
for her to eat. But don't forget TO
drink milk.
This answers query OF Mrs. 4. G..

Evolution or a Picnic2

The record of the rocks is now ac-
cepted by scientists as q very trust
worthy page in history indeed. To
handle a fossil Is almost like handling
the extinct animal or plant itself and
seeing is believing. But paleontolpgy
has not always been an accepted
science. Two centuries ago, when IT
was first broached. a French scientist
discovered the fossils Of some marine
crabs and oysters in rocks OF the
Pyrenees, now 5000 feet above sea
level. The scientist announced that
this proved that those rocks had once
lain under the sea. But some French
man who thought himself witty re-
pile that the idea, was nonsense.
1t proved that some picnickers had
started at sea level. climbed the noun
tain, eaten a lunch of sea food and
thrown the shells away.
Now what do you know about that?

Whereas the moderation hitherto

Sor her. tenderness that he had not
experienced in years and that made
him feel foolish. He had q perfectly
ebsurd impulse to go TO her and take
her into his arms, but he resisted the
Smpulse because he had not given way
20 an emotion in so long that he
hardly knew how TO go about it.
And so silence, a rather awkward
silence, fell between them, broken at
last by sound at the door thai
startled them both. Martha whirled
about in her chair and stared. John,
100, stared, until with an awkward
laugh Arthur walked into the room,
His looks were shocking. His suit
was shapeless. 1t looked as if he had

Arthur was under the influence oi

had walked too much for that and he
was SO tired that his mind for q Ions
time had refused to function. He
hardly took in the meaning of his

time. There are georgette blouses now
with fine pleats at back and front
Scarfs are made with pleated ends
and handbags are made of finely
pleated georgette.
To some extent the pleat has solved
the problem of fullness in the new
clothes. The godet answered the pur'
pose and to some extent it Is still used
But from the present point of view
the pleat achieves the necessary full
ness much more satisfactorily. Instead
of flares and godets we now have
panels and insets of pleats to take
care of the required fullness without
sacrificing the straightness of line that
women still admire.
Pleating plays an even more I'M
purtant role as an ornament. Narrow
knife pleating-sometim not more
than two inches wide--is used to edge
sleeves, cuffs, t1ounces, skirts peplums
and collars. Sometimes narrow pleat-
ing is arranged in deep VS. around the
skirt and sometimes 1t is arranged in
