Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Forcible Feeding.

We shall have to presume that the
child has been allowed to have his own
way when being fed and the mother
has allowed him to dictate what he
would and would not eat.
This child becomes a progressively
greater feeding problem as he grows
older until finally he Is eating little or
nothing Of the foods that are good for
him and all that are not. This type
OF mother is naturally the yielding
kind who gives in to cries and refusals
to eat and does not press the matter.
1t has been found that q child suf.
fers no harm from being forced to
eat the food toward which 1t shows a
0istaste: that even the vomiting of
food may mean nothing more than
that the child has learned the trick of
ejecting what it does no want, and
that II It is forced to eat it the food
will be retained and digested normally.
Having made sure of this one point,
the mother can go ahead with a clear
conscience and putting before the
child the necessary food items for a
perfect diet, she can force them until
the child accepts them willingly. Egg
is the one notable exception to this
rule. Eggs and. in rare cases. milk
may actually poison a child.
The method advocated by most doc
tors Is just what its name implies:
forcible feeding. The child's hands
are held and likewise his nose and he
Is made to swallow a teaspoon Of the
food he refuses. II he spits IL UP, a
fresh spoonful is administered in the
same way, until seeing that cries and
screams and vomiting get him no.
where, he consents to swallow the food
and keep 1t down.
This should be done with each food,
never forcing more than a teaspoonful
Of any food at any time. Later when
the child is sure that rebellion is use
less, he should be given the full
amounts necessary for nourishment.
Even the tiny baby will often spit
out cereal or vegetable when II is first
offered. Then Is the time to hold his
nose and make him eat the food.
To most mothers this sounds very
cruel. 1t need not be. Every mother
knows that the spirit In which a COM
mand Is uttered makes the difference
in the way it IS needed or disregarded.
She knows a certain tone will be obey
ed. It is the same with the forcible
feeding. She may be as gentle as she
know when she means business and
when 1t is quite apparent he cannot run
over her, he will respond by obeying.
The mother who refuses to use these
methods to force well child mot a
sick one, 1t is obvious) is letting senti.
ment run away with her good sense
and giving into the child when by SO
doing she jeopardizes his health and
makes future discipline. in moral mat.
ters, that much more difficult. There
is direct relation between regular
hours OF feeding. the enforcement Of
proper foods and moral discipline.
rIN % l.
relation is the one whose children are
uncomfortable In all matters from
sleeping and eating on up to moral
lapses.

Paying Teller's Screen.

I should like to know how prevalent

Annoying Little Tricks.
BY MIMI.

It's a well known fact that the
very little mannerislns Of speech and
action which endear u young girl TO
her man are the most violent irrltS-
tions after he gets used TO her.
We all haye our little tricks. Some
Of US have q rather fetching way OF
rolling our eyes.
Others use cute little words which
they've made up themselves. St1ll
others have quaint misunderstanding
amusing to their admirers of q re"
months.
There was the girl who, when she
felt shed done something to he called
down for, used to open her eyes very
wide, exclaim "Oooo!' In a frightened
tone, and look around beseech!ngly
for help.
It is runored that on the occasion
Of her thousa ndth performance of this
delightful little act, she had reason to
look frightened-her husband was In
Il truly murderous mood.
It's a great temptation to us women
to cling to the artful little devices by
which we won so much boyish ad-
miration. But, we're wasting our
time as far as friend fiance or hus.

Really we can't blame the men.

speech O few hundred times they may

laughter. They may also be pardon

u bit.
Why Is it that we women, who rush
to adopt every newest whiin Of fash
ion---who insist on keeping abreast Of
the times In clothes, hats. shoes, hose
and gloves, just stick to our old
lines" and mannerisms.
We wouldn't think of appearing on

popular either with the boys or the
boy.
Perhaps your old standby lines and
jokes still go down well with the
crowd you run around with-the boys
still think you're awfuuy cute and
funny.
But, II you have cut out the crowd
and are concentrating on one young
gentleman, don't pull the old gags
too often--dont drag in your pet
words and terms more than once q
week--don't fall back on your sweet
little tricks more than once a year.
There comes day even in the life
Of the most hopelessly-in-love male
when he says TO himself: I've seen
her do that before-often. I wonder
how much longer I can stand seeing
her do that"

"Ivho Is TT" Martha called sharply
and as she spoke Arthur's voice an

his words were so carefully enunciated
as to arouse suspicion.

Martha drew a breath Of relief. She
was too little acquainted with the ef.
feet of alcohol to realize that Arthur
was more than little affected by
what he had had to drink. Her next
remark to him was q casual good
night, and muttering an answer, he
moved off down the hall toward his
room.
Martha went back to her chair and
her book. It seemed centuries before
,, another careful insertion OF the key
into the lock brought her again to
her feet.
This time she encountered Natalie
just as the girl was slipping by her
door.
Natalie was so surprised that for a
| moment she merely stared at her
mother. Then she grinned broadly.
Hello, mother, what are you doing
up this time or night! You ouSnt TO

Natalie's raillery always embarrass-

her to talk to the girl. Tonight. how
ever, she was determined not to be
put or, and with an effort to be cas-.
ual, she said lightly: II couldn't sleep.
and thought I'd wait up and have q

Instantly Natalie's eyes narrowed.
The circumstance was too unusual
for her to believe the casualness Of
her mothers excuse. Nevertheless
she smiled and said lightly. "How

Great Variety in Hats for Spring

Marthe Regnier Of Paris Has a
clever little beret that comes well
down over the eyes in front and rises
upward toward the back. where some
small ostrich plumes are arranged in
quite an amusing manner. Hats Of
the poke variety are numerous. To

the most comfortable Of large hats.

Of collar. With a coat collar Of any
sort the hat that Is turned up in the
back is much more comfortable. At
present many women are wearing felt
sport hats. larger than felt hats of
season ago, and these are frequently
turned up at the back-so that the
wide brim will not interfere with per.
feet comfort. On the other hand.
some Of the new evening hats are of
the toque variety that turn up directly
in the front.
