Answer-O Do not wash your
hair more than once a week. II your

give it a dry shampoo with equal
part Of Orris root and corn meal.
After brushing out the powder divide
your hair into strands and polish
each one carefully with a piece OF
old silk moistened with cologne

tonic twice a week. Encourage the
natural wave in your hair by learn
ing to use water-waving combs or
finger waving. t2) The poor condi-
ton of your hair is largely due to
your underweight. You should weigh
between III and 100 pounds. Your

piled Blacky.
"I should like to see how he acts,'
said Sammy. Lets go over"
So handsome Sammy Jay and
Blacky the Crow headed for a certain
big windfall where they thought they
might find Buster Bear. Sure enough,
Buster was sitting just outside of that
| windfall. He was sitting with his
head swaying from side to side ard
he was rumbling and grumbling to
himself. 1t was plain that he was
quite out of sorts.
Hello, Buster, what ails you?" said
Sammy Jay rather impudently.
Buster looked up. Have you seen
| him?" he demanded.

Busters small eyes fairly glowed.

exclaimed.
Sammy bobbed his head. Certain

maze them?'
What are you fellows talking
about?" interrupted Blacky the Grow.
Then Sammy told Blacky all about
the strange footprints in the mud on
the shore of the pond of Paddy the
Sammy told the story. And I've seen
those same footprints along the Laugh
ing Brook" added lester. II don't
know what to make of it. Some one
is here in this Gre>n Forest who has
no business to be here. Yes. sir, some
one is here who has no business to
be here"
Are you afraid?" asked Sammy.
Certainly not" retorted Buster in
his deepest and most rumbly, grum
bly, voice. Certainly not. 1 am
afraid of no one or nothing"
Blacky began to chuckle. BE truth
full, Buster; be truthful" said he,
what about one of those two.legged
creatures with terrible gum"
Buster turned his head and looked
all about uneasily. ooh, that's differ
ent," said he.
"Of course that's different" laughed
Blacky. Now I'm going over to see
, those strange foo PRINTS. If there's

how managed to keep we'll abreast OF
the mode.
Don't imagine for minute that the
opinion of the woman who discount
tenances the ornamental glove has
really had any effect on fashion-or
that her steadsast determination to
wear nothing but the simplest sort OF
pull-on gloves has diminished the in
terest of other women in every sort
of fancy hand covering. On the con-
trary, there never was a more amaz'
ing variety of fancy gloves TO choose
from. Every day you might find some
new way of making a glove ornate.
Gloves for rather elaborate wear are
decorated with birds and flowers
painted in oil colors on fine Kid. For
street wear there are gloves finished
with a design burned into the leather
or kid. Designs are achieved by means
of snakeskin cuffs or strapplngs-
also dainty little ribbon bows on the
cuffs. There are designs laid on the
cuffs of gloves in gold leaf. There are
gloves made entirely of snakeskin and
gloves with calfskin cuffs. Tassles
hang from the cuffs of some of the
new gloves. Feathers and rows of
tiny artificial flowers made from rib
bon are used on others.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Bands and binders: The infant is
which encircles the abdomen and
keeps the navel dressing in place.
That is it's only excuse for being,
though there is a general misconcep-
ton about this binder. Some mothers
think it is part of the infants ward
robe the first year and hesitate to re-
move it. They have an uneasy feeling
that the baby will someway crumple
up without the tight binder to keep it
straight OF course. that Is absurd.
AS soon as the navel is perfectly
healed and need no longer be dressed,
the binder should be discarded.
To take its place is the part wool
and silk, or wool and cotton knitted
band. This is exactly like a small
shirt, has straps over the shoulders
and tabs back and front to which the
diaper is pinned. This can be worn
throughout the first year and even
longer If the mother is so inclined. 1t
is a protection against changes Of
temperature, has so little wool that
it is not warm, and is really all the
baby needs to wear during the hot
weather. The band, a diaper, and a
make a very good hot weather outfit
Thrush Thrush is a yeast growth
which comes in the child's mouth. 1t
is due to lack of care with bottles and
nipples used in feeding the baby. or in
lack of perfect cleanliness in breast
feeding. Bottles and nipples must be
boiled; and the nipples of the mother
should be washed before and after
each nursing with boric acid water.
This is prepared with one teaspoon of
boric acid crystals dissolved in one
pint of boiling water. Cool bottle and
keep covered. The breasts should be
protected from soiled clothing by the
use of piece of sterile gauze.
Babies suffer with thrush so that
they will cry and refuse to nurse or
take bottle because of the soreness
of their mouths. Thrush resembles
drops of milk on the tongue or sides
of mouth, but when one removes these
drops there Is a small bleeding spot
beneath. To cure the thrush take
more care of the feeding apparatus
and wash the baby's mouth gently
several times a day with the boric
acid solution. Use a fresh piece of
cotton each time and do not try to
remove the thrush. just wash carefully
with the wet cotto. One may also
use common baking soda to wash the
mouth. Use one teaspoon of soda in
one cup of water. There is no harm
in using the boric and the soda solu-
ton alternately.

more gracefully. For instance. your
thigh is about 3 inches too large,
