the time lost in hesitation over the
less satisfactory substitutes saved.
Quickly to the Point.
The confusion Of decision is lessened

With Wider Scope.
The second way of shopping is to
have a more general and less specific
idea and be governed by the way the
new styles or values appeal to you.
You go with the deliberate intention
of having your own preconceiVed
ideas altered in favor of better or
more practical ones Your purse may
have to be the criterion. You have
an approximate idea of the price to
be paid, and let yourself be influenced
in choosing by the comparison or
values.
Opportunity.
A third way is to make the most
of your present opportunity. While
browsing about. If you see something
you need at a price that suits your
purse, do not fail to get it. Oppor.

least to coincide with your immediate
or later requirements, and you may,
if you wait, have to hunt far and long
to duplicate the article and price. 1t
often happens that while you are
looking for one thing you find an
other. The most efficient shoppers
realize that to wait until the last mo-

Your Baby and Mine
The Summer Wardrobe.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

No one can tell any one exactly
how her child should be dressed. The
mother must have some sense of at
mosphere and temperature and dress
the baby accordingly. But one may
reassure the mothers that children
seldom wear too few clothes In the
Summer and that most babies are
dressed unbearably.
A small, inexperienced mother once
brought her baby to me and asked
me why the child suffered so constant.
ly with prickly heat. 1t was hot, middle
July weather, and the child, a great
husky girl of II months, had on
wooden shirt and band, a wooden petit
coat and slip and wooden hose. Her
whole face was a mass of prickly heat,
and the child wriggled with discom-
fort. The mother told me that
maiden aunt who lived with her said
it would be dangerous to take off the
childs woolens in Summer. and so
the baby suffered on, helpless victim
of her poor advice.
Children, as said before, can seldom
wear too few clothes in the Summer.
When the weather is hot, part wool
and cotton band. a diaper and a slip
are the only essentials. The child
over needs only the thin underwaist,
thin pantieS and dress. Putting
child into starchy dresses in hot
weather, bundling her feet in patent
leather shoes, Is mistake. Use san
dals with generous air holes cut in
them; low socks and the lightest and
simplest of underwear and dresses.
The small boy needs little but pair
of rompers. Dress the child as you
would like to be dressed if you were
as young as he, and you won't go far
wrong.
The tiny newborn baby naturally
can stand a great deal more heat than
| the child of or months. Babies
are easily chilled, and so one must be
on the watch for changes of tempera-
ture. and when the day veers from
hot to cool add more clothing.
The wee baby can still wear the

lection against just such changes and

When I came home this evening
Joan met me at the door, and she SAID,
"Well, have found out who gave the
baby whooping cough" and l said,
"Who?" and she said, Those Mayors
children"
Well, this Mayors is the guy who
had the police out here last week on
account of us giving the baby sun
baths naked in the back yard, and so

and we did not know there was whoop-
ing cough in his family because his
house faces on the next street and we

Joan said, do you remember told
you last week that the girl who takes
the baby out in his buggy while I'm at
school spoke of the Mayors children
coming up to him? They were rum

she didn't even remember that they

Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

Nothing ventured. nothing gained
is an old maxim. 1t is still applicable
to our everyday lives, however. There
is a tendency to discourage speculation

For example, every day we see

timid shopper hesitates. Can it be just

The skilled and confident shopper
knows that if the store is reliable. its

willing to venture her judgment and
opinion on the article. Taking advan-
tage of her opportunity she buys at
the more favorable price.
