Well Fitted Necklines Essential
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Portable. Often collars are close-t1t-
ting-but never snug enough to bring
discomfort. This does not apply only
to frocks that have high collars. Some
of the frocks have yokes of net or lace
where the material of the frock ends.
These fit closely, giving the frock
more finished appearance and giving a
soft line next the skin that is most
becoming.
One hears much Of the v neck in
the new clothes. OF course, there is
nothing new about this-the i'm
portant thing Is that the V Is narrow,
! the arms of it coming up close to t. D.
neck at the sides.
Starched Eton collars finish some
of the new frocks This seems to
be a fashion stressed by Suzanne
Talbot.
Ruff necks appear on some of the
new frocks-frillS of material as full
and as outstanding as the ruff collar
on a clowns costume, and made in
much the same way. The ruff Is
usually made of taffeta, sometimes
with the edges pinked. Not very
attractive fashion for Summer, you
may think, but one that will probably
survive the warm weather and make
stronger appeal in the Autumn. And
1t is very becoming to many persons.
The scarf neck has many possi-
bilities. One variety of this that is
found on a number of new frockS
shows a long scarf attached across
the back of the neck. There Is
small open v in the front of the
frock, with scarf ends hanging loose
or they would hang loose were they
not knotted closely at one side.

We may admire the physical energy
OF a man who uses main strength and

brains or lack of them. A little science

means of a rod balanced on a pole
over a well, 10 or Is feet to their high

this painful labor at which one man

Coats for Little Ones.

II mothers would remember that
the we'll dressed child Is always the
simply dressed child, you'd see every
child in town dressed in an attractive
Spring coat.
Capecoats are always popular for
little girls, because they are warm in
Spring, and when they are left open,
cool in Summer. You'll find them in
covertine. serge, lightweight velour,
flannel, hand-woven materials, silk
and crepe de chine. There are nov
city materials, too, but buy them
cautiously because even If they are
smart in appearance, you have usually
no way of telling how they will wear.
Little girls coats are being made
now Of mannish material, and also
come lined with pongee and silk
Coats without Innings are preferred
by many mothers. Such coats are
easily pressed. there's no lining to
soil or stain, and the coat is much
lighter in weight for the tiny tot to
carry. Besides the customary ma.
terials of serge, tweed, ETC., little
girls coats may be bought in vivid
and large plaids.
Crepe de chine coats are very prac-
tical, as well as very pretty, for little
children Of 2 and 8. They are
made with a thin silk lining, or with
no lining at all. Sometimes they are
sold with a separate lining of quilted

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Lime in Foods.


Mrs. E. L. NJ. writes: II saw in your
column where you advise lime as q
cure for dirt eating. Now my Ques-
ton is how do you make lime water
and how much should a child Of that
age drink?"
Answer-My former answer must
have been expressed very badly. One
does not give a child lime water In
order to furnish his system with lime,
but give him foods containing or
ganic (calcium) lime, food element.
Lime water is merely an antiacid and
the lime found there is not utilized
in the making of bones. Milk, con-
tains an abundance of natural lime.
For self-addressed and stamped en-
Velope you may have the leaflet on
! "Layets," which gives information
as to what clothes to prepare for the
new baby.
Child Must Have Milk.
Mrs. L. G. TIT is not enough to
mix little milk with proprietary
foood and feed the baby with that.
Any food which does not make use of
fresh cows milk as an essential part
and not sufficient to nourish and build
up a child's body. The baby is a ire
mendous weight and so very evident
ly is being overfed and this, as well
as the incorrect food, is causing the
vomiting. l am mailing you a leaf1et
or proper feeding.
Mrs. j. o. E.-Your letter makes me
feel absolutely hopeless. How can you
feed q child of months everything
that Is served at the table and in be-
tween meals apples, oranges and
crackers? And to add to the horror she
is still being nursed and at that from
three to six times at night. Also she
is sleeping with you and her father.
This is surely a letter which should
be titled, Don't Do Amy Of These
Things"
Please have sufficient faith in me
to alter your baby's training. Provide
a crib for her and let her sleep alone
which she should have been doing
from birth. Send for the weaving and
feeding leafiet offered by this depart.
ment for only a self-addressed and
stamped envelope, and see how easy II
is to wean a baby rightly, and just
how baby Of 9 months should be
fed. OF course, If your baby really
was satisfied with its food it would
not waken even once at night. Wake.
fulness is the surest sign of a dIssatis
fed badly fed baby.
Mrs. A. J. C.-The baby of Mrs, J.
o. E. above is 9 months old and walk
ems sometimes six times at night to be
fed. Your baby at months is sleep
ing from 8 o'clock until S. This last is
as 1t should be. I do think that the
frightful crying spell near bedtime is
due probably to a rather scanty nurs
ing period at the previous feeding
time. Try q complementary feeding
at that nursing only, and see If tha,
won't cure the trouble. Earache could
hardly come on 80 regularly.
