Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. Fl. H. v. writes: ''My baby is
10 months Old and I am having a ter
rible time breaking him of the am.
feeding. If / let him cry. he carries
on harder and harder. He is consti-
pated despite the fact that I give him
fruit juices and oatmeal. His formula
is % ounces of milk, 10 of water and
5 level tablespoons of sugar. ] am
going to add ounce of milk and re-
duce the amount of water l ounce a
week, so that at one year he will be
getting whole milk, which I under
stand is right. 1 shall appreciate your
advice on this"
Answer-Until the baby gets suffi-
cient food in the daytime so that his
nutritional needs are completely salts
for feeding. Naturally. having been
fed every night at 2 o'clock for 10
months, it is hard TO break him of the
habit. but / should increase his day
time feelings and then offer him only
water at night when he wakens.
This ought to discourage the waking
habit. He should sleep all night now
without feeding.
Your method of getting the baby on
whole milk is fine. You are using a
little more sugar now than I consider
necessary. Begin reducing that
promptly, as the baby can have some
on his cereal. and the addition of ce-
real and vegetables and all breadstuffs
gives. him shis pleefe;esrfsary allotment of
starch and sugar
Mrs. II. W. 3. writes: "Will you help
me with the problem of my 6-months-
old boy? My physician has told me to
nurse him as long as possible, but that
does not seem sufficient in the day
time. He sleeps well at night, so am
wondering If the housework I do in
the daytime takes away from the nour-
ishment of my milk?
He gets only tomato and fruit juices.
and likes a nibble of cracker if / hold
it in my hand. l also want to know if
cod liver oil with iron and malt extract
is any better than the plain cod liver
oil?"
Answer-The housework doesn't
harm the milk at all; in fact, an mac
tive mother is more likely to secrete
milk that is far too rich for her baby's
But at months the healthy
baby needs more than just milk to
nourish him. He needs vegetable soup
and cereals twice a day, and l think
you will find the addition of these the
answer to your present problem of sat
isfying the baby's appetite.
Unless the doctor orders this type
of cod liver oil for some special reason,
the plain cod liver oil serves all ordi-
nary purposes.

She hadn't, after all, meant to infiu.
ence Sally. And who could tell whether
she would be happy if she married
Richard Alden? Such things were SO
uncertain. Myra believed in fate. II
Sally deserted a man who loved her,
and not only that but little girl. had
she any chance for lasting happiness?
What I do and what Sally does are,
after all, two very different things
She told herself that again and again.
And yet she had advised Sally to
marry Richard.
IF I hadn't believed that she loved
him, shouldn't have interefered," she
told herself in extenuation. And yet,
in her heart of hearts she was not sure
that Sally loved him. Sally had come
up against life since she had left the
States. There had been the experience
in Paris with Mr.. Britton. and not only
that, but for a longer period than she
had ever known since childhood. the
two of them had been together. Myra
knew that she was worldly and that
Sally was inexperienced. Would Sally
have reacted in the same way without
outside influence of any kind?
Myra's feeling for John Rigby was
largely superficial. If she had stopped
to weigh it she would have realized the
truth Any attractive man with a
sense of appreciation--alway suppos-
ing, of course, that he appealed to her
would have done as well.
Myra realized, as only another
woman can. Sally's attitude as she
caught glimpse of them from her
deck chair. She had caught her own
f1ippancy in Stally's tones.
Hello, you people" 1t wasn't like
Sally Had Richard hurt her in some
way?
She stole a glance at him from un-
der her lashes. How little his face be-
trayed. 1t was SO proud-so arrogant.
Did he love Sally?
AT that moment John Rigby came
along the deck. and Myra turned to
him with sense of relief. Why
should she be compelled to fight Sally's
problems as well as her own? 1t was
foolish.
She turned to him eagerly. leaving
Richard bending over Sally's chair.
After all, Sally was %!

CHAPTER xxXyII.
MYra's Reaction.

Myra was more than a little bit in
terested in John Rigby.
He wasn't so colossally rich as Rich
ard, but he had money and no entan-
Cling alliances. Furthermore, he said
things to her.
Why had Bill withheld endearments
from her? Even from the time of their
honeymoon, she couldn't remember
when he had called her by endearing
names. Bill, to her. was quiet, self
contained man. A man who had given
her everything: but then, why not? fie
could make money, but he knew moth
ing about love.
Myra often comforted herself with
this thought.
When she was in the midst of q
furious Irritation, she often told her
self that il Bill had given her the love
and romance that she crayed, she
wouldn't look to other men for it.
John Rigby spelled romance to her.
He had the self-confidence that Bill
lacked. He wasn't inhibited, either,
which meant that he paid her charm
ing compliments. And yet there We're
times when she looked into Sallys
eyes and hear dher own remarks in
Sally's words and felt ashamed.

Revival of Cotton Evening Dresses
BY MARY MARSHALL.

The cotton evening dress is to be
one of the novelties-or rather reviv-
als-of the season. Seventy-five years
ago Empress Eugenie, who was GER
tainly no economist in matters of
dress, wore frocks of muslin. organdy.
tarlatan, jaconet and other lightweight
cotton fabrics, choosing them for her
loyeliest evening gowns. But so ac-
customed have we become to using
only silk fabrics for evening that the
very expression cotton evening gown
suggests something not especially at.
tractive.
Don't imagine that there is any
thing really cheap about the new eve
ming gowns of cotton materials. They
appear in the collections of some of
the most distinguished dressmakers,
but are as yet not to be found where
women go for ready-made evening
frocks at bargain prices. The ma
terial, to be sure, may be less a yard
than any of the silk fabrics, but there
is a crisp delicacy about them that
makes it especially hard to handle in
stock and really requires expert work
manship. And when organdy is hung
over cloth of silver, as is the case in a
new bridesmaids froCk, all thoughts
of economy disappear.
Martha Regnier has made some
charming frocks combining organdy
and taffeta in contrasting pastel tones
Black point d'esprit has been revived
this Spring and there are Interesting
evening gowns made of this cotton
material. Sometimes organdy is en-
broidered with a light sort of en-
broidery wrought With silver threads.
An exquisite evening gown is made
with bouffant skirt of pink organdy
over short underslip of metallic
cloth i'm rose color.a There is no mate
rial save taffeta that is so we'll suited
to the full-skirted period frock as or
CANDY, and with the coming of Sum
mer these organdy frocks will be seen
more and more. Black organdy has
been used with extremely good effect
There really is no doubt as to the
place of organdy in present-day eve
ming fashions. but it is quite mis-
take to think of this fashion as
means of effecting any sort of econ
omy. Don't be deluded merely by the
fact that organdy by the yard costs
