HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Carving On"

Those of us who had not used it
previously must have become familiar
during the war with the expression
carrying on" meaning to continue
our efforts. to go on, in spite of diff
culties and encouragement, regard
less of obstacles and Setbacks. In
deed, in the midst Of the tragedy and
the cruelties of war, it sometimes re-
quired great hardihood and courage
for people just to carry on"
The same words are frequently used
in everyday speech with an entirely
different significance; that is, when
some one is admonished not to carry
on So" meaning not to make a spec
tacle of himself
Strangely, both uses Of the phrase,
with their widely different meanings
go for their origin to the same source,
namely. the. parlance of the sea. In
deed. their common ancestor is found
in the very same circumstance in the
work OF the sailorman.
To those who control the fate Of
ship carry on" means to keep as
much sail set as possible; in other
words. to fight against wind or a
gale, in contrast to running before the
wind, which is the line of least resist.
ance. The general significance of
such prolonged effort against adverse
conditions is obvious, as is the appli-
cation of the expression in this sense
to everyday speech.
On the other hand, it is easily COM
prehensible that keeping sail set to
fight a gale which cannot possibly be
overcome is carrying a good principle
too far and making oneself ridiculous.
A similar display of wasted effort on
the part Of people who make a fuss"
to no constructive purpose is another
form of carrying on

The coat frock is just such a decep-
ton. 1t is. perhaps, the first of all
the in-between costumes. For some
women, Of course, the coat frock has
no charms. 1t is neither fish. fowl nor
good red herring. 1t Is a coat, and yet
it cannot be taken off. 1t does not
offer protection enough for the out
doors or daintiness enough for the in
doors.
You should be guided by your habits.
If you keep office hours or teach
school then the coat frock would be of
little use-at any rate, for an every
day f'Ock. But If you want a frock
to put on when you go shopping call
ing. attending committee meetings -
occasions when you would not ordi-
narily remove your jacket anyway
then the coat frock has much to rec
onmend it.
The sketch shows a new coat frock--
we'll suited for the warmer days of
Spring and cooler days throughout the
Summer. 1t is of deep rose kasha
over n slip of paler rose crepe de chine
embroidered and bound in purple. The
narrow scarf tied around the neck
gives a smart new touch to the cos
tune. but it might easily enough be
omitted when warmer weather makes
scarf irksome to wear.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. NJ. G.-Undoubtedly your baby
is suffering with eczema and you car
hardly expect a cure until you have
discovered what is wrong with her
food. Lotions and salves are soothing
and healing externally, but there is
some poison circulating in the system
caused by her food which must be
eliminated before any real cure can
result.
Since you are nursing the baby the
cure must come through you. Dc
not eat any of the foods you men
toned; nurse the baby only once in
four hours, not minute sooner; and
give two tablespoons of boiled water
before each nursing. Exercise a lot
yourself, and do not eat fat meats or
fat gravies, rich pastries. much but
ter or cream. Please send for the
leaflets on eczema and weaving and
feeding, inclosing a self-addressed and

When the baby is weaned the rash
may entirely disappear. 1t would
seem that the nurse was far the best
Suesser of all the advisers you had
A Nervous Child.
While the baby shows such signs
would try and do away with them in
the house as much as is possible
Muff1e the door bell. A sharp ring
is startling to most adults, and your
baby was so tiny at birth that it is
hardly to be considered as an ordinary
child, but more as premature baby.
Please write for a leaflet on various
questions, sending a self f.addressed
and stamped envelope for it. If the
child is fed every three hours, the
complementary feeding should come
directly after it. and not at any
other time.
Constipation.
Mrs. b. 3. K.-The constipation
should be relieved through the diet
and not by giving cathartics every
day. If you will write and tell me
what the baby weighs at time Of
writing and his birth weight and ex.
actly what you are feeding him l
can tell you better how to help the
constipation. Please remind me to
send you the leaf1et by inclosIng a
self-addressed and stamped envelope
for it. Use zinc oxide on the but
tocks, as powder is of little use for
this condition. All this argues that
there is something radically wrong
with the formula you are using.
Albright Formula.
Mrs. NJ. H. K.-Considering that
the baby had such a poor start for
three months. no doubt his weight
now, of II pounds at months, is not
so bad as it would otherwise seem.
At any rate, the formula is plenty
strong enough, contains the right
elements, and as the baby is sleep

should not worry about the weight.
Shortly, no doubt. she will begin to

Clues to Character
BY J. o. ABERNETHY.
The "S".Shaped Profile.

There are four types Of profile
the vertical, the concave, the convex
and the IS" shaped. Each one has
definite meaning. A convex profile
proclaims a rapid thinker 1t also
denotes an observant, self-centered
person.
A concave face denotes a slow, la.
bored. plodding type of mind. This
face is philosophical. calm, collected,
but once 1t makes up it's mind it
is generally right. This persons
fault lies in being too conservative
He thinks too late.
The plain type of profile is mod
crate. This form denotes good judg-
ment Of human nature. The vertical
profile is apt to go far in any pur-
suit, because it has the happy fac
ulty of keeping in the middle of the
road.
The S"-shaped profile is consid-
cred best for all-around use. Most
men that are called handsome pos
sess this type of face. A sharp nose
usually accompanies it. Such a pro-
file denotes quick, decisive. correct
thoughts Of action. But when the

Two independence days are cele-

This is a true story and its
telling is dedicated to the young
girls of the country.
Let us impress it upon these
same girls that dancing may
be, and in fact, should be, a very
wholesome form Of exercise.
Let us also point out that it
requires plenty of good food to
keep the body strong enough to
get the full benefit from dane
ing as well as from any other
form of activity. So to starve
oneself by way of preparation
for a dance is to store up
trouble for the future. Starva-

pected to dance for good

like it.
But matters had changed. Somebody
was coming up that tree. Yes, sir,
somebody was climbing that tree. This
was wholly different matter. The
stranger began to feel uneasy. He kept
trying to look down between the
branches to see who it was that was
coming up that tree and grunting as
he came. But it was some time before
he could see anybody. When he did
see who it was, he didn't know just
what to think. 1t was Prickly Porky
who was climbing this tree. and the

The stranger got to his feet and
began to look for a way down. When
he stood up this way Reddy Fox had
a good view of him. Reddy didn't
know what to think. This stranger
certainly looked like q Fox. Instead

could possibly be high up in tree.

Like other Welsh family names. it
is only in the last few hundred years
that it has become hereditary. for
while the Welsh from the earliest
period used the descriptive or occu-
pational surname, and also the sur
name indicating parentage, it was
really only under English influence
that any of these surnames outlived
the individuals bearing them, to be
assumed by their children and grand
children. In this the Welsh differed
from the other representatives Of the
Celtic race, the Scots and the Irish,
who developed real family names
from clan names.
