Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDREp

Mrs. f. F.. writes: II have increa sed
in weight from 120 to ISL pounds
since nursing my An -month-old baby.
me baby is gaining steadily, but |
wonder what | could do to help me re-
duce without diminishing the baby s
gain. l eat fruits. vegetables, meat
and drink lots of milk and water but
avoid sweets and pastries, and vet /
grow fat
How soon can I begin to take
strenuous exercises, such as dancing.
skating, etc, and some limbering exer-
clses? | have always been strong and
healthy, and would like to get rid Of
this excess fat as soon as | can. I
nave a hard time forcing the baby
TO take water. az she refuses 1t, BY
spoon or bottle. Is 1t really necessary
for her to have much water?''
Answer--ft seems quite natural for
mothers to take on weight during the
first few months of lactation. Very
often this flesh leaves them when thew
become more active. You are in per.
feet health now, so there is no reason
at all why you should not take all the
exercises you want to. You have no
doubt gained flesh because YOU
stopped the exercises you were used
to. 1t is never wise to diet when
nursing baby. though ii is not neces.
sary to overeat.
Mrs. L. J. j. writes: "AIy baby is 5
months old and / have always bathed
him on my lap. / would like to put
him in the tub and sponge him off,
but wonder IL he would get cold or
it would hurt him in any way"
Answer-F'rom the time the navel IL
well healed a baby can with safety
and advantage be given tub bath
daily. Wash the baby's head, face
and eyes while resting on the moth
er's lap or on a small table. Then he
can be soaped all over and dipped into
the tub, Iinsed off, and taken out
quickly and dried. The temperature
of the water should be comfortably
warm to the mothers elbow, which
will be about SO degrees by bath Their

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
Brown Spots on the Face,
BY LOIS LEEDS.

Dear Miss Leeds: ID How can l
get rid of brown spots where pimples
and blackheads have been pressed
out? (2) How can | develop my legs?
81 How can | develop a hollow neck?
L. K. B.
Answer-O The brown spots are
caused by bruising of the tissues. The
best way to treat them is to prevent
their formation by being careful in
removing the pimples and blackheads.
First battle the skin in hot boric acid
solution to soften the blemishes.
Prick the pimples with sterilized
needle and very gently press out the
pus. Use soft, clean cloth over your
fingers TIC prevent scratching of the
skin with the fingernails. Use the
same precaution in pressing out the
ripe blackheads. Battle the skin with
fresh boric acid after the operation.
Rub in a little sulphur ointment to
assist the healing process. There is
no way to remove the brown spots
quickly. Massage them with a little
bleaching cream every night, and ma
ture will do the rest. (2) Build up
your weight to normal by right diet
and exercise. Vigorous leg exercises
are likely to keep your lower limbs
thin. Walking several miles a day at
a fairly slow pace will help develop
the legs (3) A very good exercise
for developing a we'll rounded neck is
as follows: Stand erect with arms
held out straight at shoulder level
out at the sides. Keeping elbows
straight, make wide circles In the air
with your fingers. Do this so times
with each arm. LOIS LEEDS.

Some Hints.

Here are some hints that you may
find useful for making yourself look
more attractive when you've not
great deal of time to sGend over the
process. Being a very busy person
myself, / have tried to reduce all these
beautifying processes to the simplest
form. / have also tried to emphasize
ways OF achieving an effect with only
little amount of trouble.
For instance. your hair is looking
dull and oily and you have not time
for a shampoo or a wave IL YOU are
wise enough 10 keep some powdered
orlis root in your bathroom. you can
give yourself a dry shampoo in about
I'VE minutes that will leave your hair
clean and fluffy and practically as
glossy as though 1t had had soap
and-water shampoo. If possible. buy
the powdered orris in sifter-top cans.
II you can't get it that way, buy it by
the ounce ard save your old talcum
powder tins to keep II in.
Sift generous amount over the
hair and rub it through with the fin
ger tips. then begin brushing it out.
parting the hair here and there and
brushing away from the part. Wipe
the brush off on a soft towel TO keep 1t
clean, and in a short time all the pow
der Will be out of your hair. You will
find any number of dry shampoos ad-
vertised. but | have never found any
thing better than plain powdered orris,
which does not cling to the hair and
which possesses faint and delightful
fragrance.
Another trick for making the hair
look well when it has become lank and
stringy is to give it a quick water
wave. Wet your comb and run it over
the surface of the hair until IL is fairly
wet. then pinch it into marcel waves
with the fingers. Tie A veil or a hair
net over it, pinching the waves again
into place under the net. Then dry
quickly before hot fire or out in the
sun. When it is hastily done the
wave will not stay in more than day
or so, but you have your immediate
effect.

method of getting rid of superfuous

Family Relationship.

Priscilla was wildly devoted to her
family. She had always been the most
thoughtful and loving of daughters.
! Her family idolized her-never
thought or spoke without seeking her
advice She was the center Of their
universe She never disappointed
| them. GrV particular did she mean
everything TO her brother Jimmy. FOR
him the sun rose and set by Pris, SO
that when Dick came breezine into
the family circle there was bit Of an
upset.
Dick married the family pride and
joy carried Priscilla off right under
the astonished noses of the dearly be-
loved relations.
And having married her--as II that
weren't enough--he proceeded to take
her away with him to live in another
part OF town, far from the loving
clutches of her parents and brothers.
Well. every one liked Dick No one
could have any fault to find with him
But somehow mother and dad weren't
quite as enthusiastic as they should
have been over the new husba nd.
Priscilias tender heart was wounded
three times week by the sly little
iibes and ieers at her Richard.
1t wasn't as if Dick had actually
cut her off from her family. She saw
them constantly. She loved them as
much as ever.
But the dear old intimate relation
ship seemed to he going, Her parents
seemed hostile to her Jimmy acted
| resentful and aggrieved. He was CON
stantly saying -well, sort of catty
things about Dick.
She wept bitterly. WHY couldn't
she make Dick and her ia milv get
along perfectly?
Why couldn't she persuade her new
husband 10 make her family more
thoroughly his ownp WHY was there
always a barrier between the two fac
tons?
Simply because Pris was trying for
the impossible She was trying to
keep up A charming relationship that
had existed in former days and at
the same time begin "A bra nd.new rela-
tionship.
She couldn't work both. One of
them had to suffer. In the old days

opinions. Pris and they had thought
pretty much the same about every
thing. A thorough understanding had
existed.
Well then along had come Dick.
with a whole new set of ideas. with
whole rev background, and Pris-
ella had gone to become part of his
life. Shed Joined forces with him.
Unconsciously she began to absorb
some of his ideas-began to talk like
him, to think more as he did. The
ola family standards faded away.
she became new person. And her
fam1iy, sensing the change in her,
resented it. fought against the cause
