BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs J. b. +. writes: II have receiv-
ed valuable aid from you before, and
once again want to ask you a ques-
ton.
my boy is now IL months old and
weighs Is pounds, weighing 8 at birth.
He is a fine, strapping fellow, but he
absolutely refuses to take bottle,
and he won't take all OF the milk he
needs from a cup. He gets a quart
OF milk daily in his cereal, buildings,
etc.
rs it necessary to give him cod
liver Oil now? He was a nursing baby
and did not take 1t. He is restless
at night--do you think he is hungry?
Is he too young to have an egg"
Answer--If the baby gets a quart
OF milk daily, 1t ID not important in
what form he gets it, whether from
buildings The important thing Is
that he does get 1t. FIe Is not too
young for an egg, in fact egg yo1k
is started very early in baby's life
because of the valuable minerals and
vitamins it contains, 1t is useful in
the same way that cod liver oil is.
The baby could hardly be hungry, as
he Is certainly splendid weight. 1t
will do him no harm at all to. have
cod liver oil, even IL he does not seem
to need 1t. / think you would find our
new feeding leaflet a great help now
and suggest that you send me self
addressed and stamped envelope for it.
Mrs. r. M. Slave you our new
feeding leafiet? 1t differs somewhat
from the old one and Is far more de-
tailed. Children do not gain in weight
as rapidly the second year as they do
the first. Perhaps you are expecting
too much. If you will get the diet
right and add cod liver oil to the diet,
there is really little else that you can
do to hurry either the weight or the
teeth.
Mrs. c. F. s.-The milk Of Jersey
cows is too rich for the average child,
and 1t 10 seldom that 1t can be given
without some such effect as you have
noticed. Try milk with less butter
fat. Eating carrots and pruneS has no
power to stain O cfiid's skin or teeth.
Have the brown line on the teeth
cleaned by dentist and keep them
clean. If the boy won't let you clean
his teeth, one can't expect they will
remain clean and glistening. Leave
the enlarged neck glands alone, un.
less they begin to supperate and cause
trouble. Then have the doctor advise
you as to their care. Sometimes 1t Is
necessary to operate and remove them.
I am mailing you the feeding leefiet.
Mrs. II. T. Cit is impossible for
me to give readers the names of other
readers in order that they may get in
touch with them. thank you for
this interest, just the same.

OF me for the rest of the day. But a
man is silly to have a hope like that,
because your wife cannot let you
alone for five minutes, let alone a
whole day, and almost as soon as we
came in the house she said, Didn't
Mr.. Stewart look wonderful in his new
suit and hat and everything this
morning."
1 said: "The only time that guy
will look all right to me is when L
cannot see him."
Joan said: II wish you would pay
as much attention to your appearance
as he pays to his. That hat of yours
Is just simply shabby. and you need
another best suit, and those shoes you
are wearing are disgraceful."
|. I said: What is the matter with
my hat?" And Joan said, "It prob.
ably is a very good hat. 1t would
have to be to last as long as it has"
said. There is nothing wrong with
this suit, either" And Joan said.
Now, stop arguing. You can go
right downtown tomorrow and buy a
new outfit. I am tired of being
afford it." Joan ssaid, .eOh, we can,
too. You looked actually ragged be-
side Mr.. Stewart" / said, II can
stand almost anything except being
compared with that guy" And joan
said. well, then, you certainly ought
to dress as well as he does" I said,
HE didn't look like 50 much" And
Joan said, II thought he was awfully
good.looking. He is so neat and i'm.
maculate, and he has the most won
derful taste. / am just Wild about the
way he looks I said, 'If / wasted
az much time dressing UP as that
baby does. could make him look like
a. lily in an ash can six weeks after
Easter" And Joan laughed one of
her laughs, and she said, "Oh,. now,
maybe not. 1 don't believe ever saw
another man who looked as marvellous
as he does
/ said, 1T is all in the clothes"
Joan said, mot ALL And I said, "If
I spent as much on clothes as he
does, three girls would turn around
to look at me to every half.witted one
that would look at him." Joan said.
Don't make me laugh" And I said.
whats more, I can prove it," And
Joan said, TIA, fa!'' like that.

Purity Priscilla.

| She was the most consciously pure
+ young lady ever met in this country
i of free-and-easy girls.
She was more careful in her speech
than your most rigid maiden aunt.
She didn't even use slang. which
she thought rather Suggestive" at
times
Priscilla despised all forms Of drama
.. which weren't on a higher moral plat
form than the average girl could pos.
sibly stand.
Even the very latest hooks bw the
country's most respectable authors
gave her shivers Of horror.
She couldn't bear to talk about them
in front of boys. she confided to her
friends.
1t was 80 dangerous to discuss
books and plays which might sound
just the least bit risque.
She went once to a movie which
portrayed some heavy lovemaking and
the shock nearly killed her.
Needless to say. she wasn't a riot
in her home town, but there were
those who at least admired her.
People were heard to say that she
would make some man a good wife.
Some day" prophesied the older
heads of the families, "a sensible man
will realize what help a clean.ininded
girl like Priscilla will be to him and
he'll marry her. She'll be a sweet,
pure wife"
It's perfectly true that there are
lots of nice men knocking around who
expect and demand clean.mindedness
in their wives. but they won't have
much use for Priscilla.
You see. she has the worst type Of
mind in the world. She really works
overtime looking for dirt in every
thing that's written or said.
How can she keep her mind clean
and free If she's watching out for a
remark or a song or book that's off
color?
If she weren't so everlastingly de-
voted to the business of shuddering,
all the things in the world which are
beautiful and clean and pure.
Priscilla, I'm sorry to say, isn't
really clean-minded girl at all.
She giggles nervously when she
hears the wrong kind Of joke told by
the wrong kind of girl-gfggles ner-
vously and then proceeds to lecture
at some length on the wickednesS of
that kind of story.
A girl whose mind was really free
would ignore the wrong kind Of story
entirely; Just dismiss it. from her
thoughts, but. little old Priscilla must
make her speech and point out care.
fully what is dirt and what ID not dirt.
re Prissy would clean out her own
mind, she'd find much less to clean up
in the rest of the world.

BUTTONS BOUQUET DIFFERENT



From Paris comes the very last
word" in boutonnieres. The flowers
are made from buttons, 1t seems but
q day OF so ago that feathers were the
final word. Surely, this is going to
the other extreme. The delicacy of
the feathers and their exquisite beauty
when made into flowers and foliage
gave a charm to vie with the texture
of flower petals The bouquets had
the fascination of creations of art.
While these will still be decidedly in
evidence the pendulum of fashion has
swung as far toward the utilitarian
elements in the button flowers as it
did toward the extreme Of exquisite
ness In the feathery boutonnieres.
Among the fancy buttons to be
found on the market today, and also
those that we have stored away be-.
cause they We're really too beautiful
to discard when buttons were not used
so lavishly on costumes, there are
many to be found that are not unlike
flowers. OF course, we have to think
of them as conventionaliZed blossoms.
unless the design on the buttons de-
picts autu4i flowers. But it is not
such a design that is used to create
the impression of blossoms i'm these
new bouquets. Instead, 1t is the
shape and color of the buttons them
selves. They are to real flowers what
the modernist ideas of pictured flowers
are to art--an impression of flowers
rather than an actual delineation.
They are smart and impressionistic-
