fail to bring interest to work and
pleasure to homemaking.
Whether the old saying, worn
threadbare and sorely abused, is true
or not, namely that home is woman s
srhere, it is a fact that the home Is a
sphere of such comprehensive scope
that it's running proves aDsoroingly
engrossing. 1t is also fact that the
homemaker is the person VINO governs
and rules in this sphere. 1t is she
who dictates how the work snail DE
done and when. 1t is she who man
ages so that time can be had to de-
vote to outside activities, to study, to
follow the pursuit of lines or work,
research and thought for which she
feels an imperative urge and through
which she finds an outlet for express
sion of her Utmost self.
Matter of Choice.
No homemaker is compelled to run
her home in any manner not of her
own fashioning. She does not have
to do as any other housewife does
unless she distinctly so prefers. To
be sure, there must be a framework
about which she develops her own
plans of home management and work.
The most insistent of these are the
meals. These are part of the every
day duties of all homemakers, wheth.
er they prepare them by their own
efforts or not. But, except for the
meals. even the framework varies
with the household.
And so we find individuality Is the
keystone of every home. Though no
two are alike, each has this keystone.
The power to build securely and in
terestingly about 1t is the precious
of the homemaker. 1t enters
into every detail of housework from
the mundane washing of dishes land
there are hundreds of different ways)
to the artistic task of the interior dec
Grafton of the rooms.
The Manager.
Each homemaker is her own task
master, her own manager, her own
chief She follows her own guidance
and directs her own home. OF course
she has many interests to consider
and many persons to claim her atten-
ton and whose wishes she should con-
suit. However, there is no business of
any recognized scope that has not
these elements also, but the guiding
control of the manager is none the
less felt. And so the guiding hand of
the homemaker is felt in every detail
of housework, and it is her individual
Ity that dominates.
Unity of Purpose.
1t is in the work of the home run
ming that the individuality of the
woman has full scope. When it comes
to the subtleties of home atmosphere,
the household ethics, the wisdom of
expenditures outside of those essen
tial to the actual running of it. then
there must be unity of purpose.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. E. M. G. writes: II have been
reading your column for some time
My baby is II months old and weighs
about % pounds; she has a good dis.
position and takes two maps a day.
do not force her to take these maps;
she is always ready to sleep. If she
fails to get them she is cross and
doesn't know what to do with herself.

to have her be cross She goes to

cause she Is fat? When should l
take the bottle from her? l don't
want her to have it all summer"
Answer-You are wise to allow the
pdDy 10 sleep all she wants to. The
best babies are likewise the hest
sleepers, because they are rested and
without nervousness. Babies seldom
sleep too much.
The stiff-ankled shoes don't meet
with my approval l believe in nature
developing its own strength without
artlTclal support. If the ankles are
constantly supported i'm stiff. tightly
iaceo or Duttoned shoes, the muscles
OF the ankle get no exercise at all
ana become fiabby and limp. If the
baby is bowlegged she needs cod liver
OIL, ana sunlight directly on her legs
as well as the right diet for her age.
She may be getting too much milk
anu not enough of the solid foods
only recently l saw a boy of three
years VINO drank quantities of milk
ana ate practically nothing. and who
was the victim of the most extreme
case or ricketts,. His mother thought
because he drank lots OF. milk that it
wasn't necessary for him to have
anything else. The result of this
erroneous reasoning was plainly an.
parent in the condition of the child.
Accustom the baby to cup feeding
In the same gradual way in which
she was weaned from the breast. BY
and by she will be able to take her
milk entirely from the cup and will
discard the bottles. You are right to
begin this now, as she is old enough to
be drinking from the cup entirely.
Otherwise the baby is fine.
Mrs. s. s.: 1t is usual for the child
of years or more suddenly to develop
an aversion for the daytime nap. The
child needs it badly, but, having
played all morning he is averse to
giving up and going to sleep in the
middle of the day.
Take off the child's clothes after
lunch Tor better still undress him be-
fore lunch). Directly after he eats
he will be at his sleepiest. Put him
in a darkened room, with the window
raised and sit beside him for few
minutes, reading him story or
telling him one.
The concentration he will put upon
what you are saying will result in
even greater drowsiness and soon he
will fall asleep. Don't make the mis-
take of telling too exciting story!

the need for more active exercise to
stimulate the circulation and build
firm, graceful contours. Every in

easiest way to fulfill the condition.

by regular reducing exercises.
Another crime against beauty is
neglect to include enough roughage
in ones diet. The result of this omis-
sion is constipation, a lifeless, coarse
complexion and a general lack of en-
ergy. The cure is to include more

Filing the Nails.

There are fashions in finger nails,
as you probably know At present,
the styles are rather exaggerated, like
our clothes and our colors and the
orangy-red we put on when we hap
pen to use makeup. The very mod

polished all over, rather metallic, but
that can't be helped. Her silky felt

ing ornaments, her dresses cling and
are of shining satin, her shoes shine,
her silk stockings shine, her finger
nails glisten. In the evening, she
turns out in silver and gold from
shoulders to feet. She is rather
radiant, and rather hard.
But never mind In few seasons
we may be wearing chiffon ruff1es and
demure expressions. Life is more
amusing for these frequent changes,
especially as none of them need cost
very much.
About the finger nails. They're
rather long, the points coming we'll

AS the boys were on their

said, This Way to the Mu-

This is queer place for a

eagerly, for he had no desire
to go and fight a dragon. "Bet
