by MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The best known and most frequently
used means of ascertaining malnutri-
ton in a child is to take note or his
weight as compared with his height.
This method has the greatest number
of followers, though there are rev
dissenters and. all things taken into
consideration, is no doubt at the pres
ent time our safest index of a child'S
wellbeing.
Mothers very often ask this ques-
ton. and it is sensible one: IF my
baby is small boned, as his father and
/ are, will he weigh as much as some
other child his age?" The answer is
no. Children are of various types,
thin and slender and stocky and fat.
Height and weight charts take into
account only the average child. who
is a certain height and weight. but the
mother. knowing her own child'3 type,
can allow a certain difference in weight
for her child if he belongs to the slen-
der, small-boned type. If the child is
comfortably covered with fat and
shows every evidence of being healthy
and well nourished, she need not
worry even if he does not come up to
the average weight for his age.
E.. In addition to the weight of n child,
the mother must take into account
his general symptoms of health. Has
he q clear skin? Are his muscles
firm? Is his body comfortably covered
with fat so that his ribs are not promi-
nent or the shoulder bones protruding
like wings? Are his eyes bright? Does
he run and play vigorously. instead of
sitting still and showing no energy?
All these are symptoms of the healthy
child, and if the diet is good and nour-
ishing and the child eats with appe-
4 Il al eSSry, S.f hai
healthy and we'll nourished, the fact
that he is not quite as fat as the neigh
bors think he should be should not
cause her great worry.
The great danger in reaSsuring
mothers that they should not worry as
to whether their children are up to
weight or not is that mothers, as a
rule, tend to be optimists, anyway.
They are all too much inclined to
argue themselves into believing that
Willie is thin because all of the fam
lily are thin. This may be true. but
the whole familys thinness may be
due to lack of sufficient food, lack of
enough milk per day or to a generally
inadequate diet, and to assume that
Willie can't get fat because his family
is not fat simply causes the mother to
lie down on the job of trying to bring
Willie up to the standard weight 1t
is the mothers duty to discover what
is proper diet for a child of any par
ticular age. and if Willie is getting
this diet and has plenty of fresh air,
three good meals and a quart of milk.
and still remains thin but healthy, she
may decide that his weight is really
inheritance and not bad feeding.
In considering height and weight.
one must take into consideration that
a tall boy of two years will not weigh
as much as short boy of three years,
though their heights may be identi-
cal. The older boy will weigh more
for his height than the younger boy.
So. in using weight for height, it is
necessary to think of age also as
contributing factor.

Cool Footwear for Warm Weather
By MARY MARSHALL.

The sandal type of shoe-one that
resembles the Oriental and Grecian
sandal not in it's heellessness but in
being cut down to the soies at the
sides of the arch---is considered en-.
tirely appropriate for daytime wear
in Summer. Many we'll dressed
women have chosen shoes of this
type-high heeled, of course-in
beige kid for practical midsummer
wear. White kid sandals of the same
sort are a wise choice but are more
appropriate for resort wear than for
the city.
There are ties. pumps and san
dals suitable for resort wear made
of linen, of silk. of straw and raffia-
and kid shoes with cut.out designs on
the vamps that serve the double pur-
pose of ornamenting the shoe and
providing ventilation.
The important thing to remember
is that nowadays there is as marked
a difference between Summer shoes
anu Winter shoes as between Sum-
mer hats and Winter hats, Summer
wraps and Winter wraps.

question for the woman who wants to
conform to the fashionable silhouette.
and never really smart save for ac-
tual sports wear.
High eeled shoes hold the feet in a
way that tends to press the toes for
ward into the toe of the shoe-and
this pressure undoubtedly is more
acutely felt in warm weather than IN
cold. The discomfort, however, can
be minimized if the vamp of the shoe
is fairly short. if the toe is not too
narrow or pointed and if the shoe it
self is very light. 1t is especially i'm
portant to have warn-weather shoes
well fitted-they should be close
enough about the heel and arch to
prevent the foot from sliding forward.
A little extra width at the ball or toe
of the shoe is desirable. Some women,
In fact, always take wider shoe for
wear at southern resorts and during
the Summer time than they usually
find necessary. But in getting that
extra toe comfort. don't make the mis-
take of getting a shoe that permits
the heel of the foot to rub up and
down with every step.

Material for Light Dresses.

This is the season for buying ma
terials for light dresses. and making
them up." When materials are light
in texture and weight, and inexpen-
siye, we are prone to buy wrongly or
not well. Let's reflect here for mo-
ment or two-we may avoid the
SPILLED milk"
If one isn't sure of her pattern. or
ability to make up, it is impractical TO
buy. The fact that the material IS not
expensive is not a good reason 10
waste even q moderate amount OF
money. Be sure of your ability in the
first place, and probable result in the
second.
If possible, try to get a glimpse of
the material made up in dress, or
one similar to the dress you plan, II
that is practical. Patterns and designs
in the cloth, especially bright, sum
merry ones, look entirely different when
made into a costume.
Methods of manufacture today are
more economical than ever before. The
result is that many women can buy
their dresses ready made, as inexpen-
sively as they can make them. When
one considers the advantages Of buy
ing a dress ready-to-wear and known
suit, not to mention the saving in time
and labor, It is difficult not to choose
the ready made

when buying the material, follow
the directions of your pattern. Too

get accurate measurements. Our fig.

don't discover changes by a shortage

OF course, we won't forget the
laundering problems of Summer as we

withstand constant washings without
